Abstrak: Death causes has change, from communicable diseases to non communicable diseases (chronic). Many study reports the function of variety of foods in preventing diseases or called nutraceutical. Rice bran contains a lot of nutrients and oryzanol which has hypocholesterolemic characteristic. This research aimed to study the influence of rice bran preparation to nutrient content, oryzanol, organoleptic characteristic and the addition of various flavor to organoleptic preference for ready to serve rice bran drinks. Completed random factorial design was applied in this study. Data analysis used Independent Sample t-Test and Friedman test. The result showed that rice bran which mixed when milled and sifted has no significant differences with not mixed to proximate, Zinc level, Calcium, Iron and Zinc bioavailability (in vitro method), oryzanol (spectrophotometry method), vitamin E (HPLC method), hedonic and quality hedonic level (p<0.05) except for color. Antioxidant activity (DPPH method), diatary fiber (enzymatic method, Asp et al 1983), calcium and iron levels (AAS method) in mixed rice bran when milled and sifted has higher differences to not mixed rice bran (p<0.05). The optimum flavor concentration from hedonic quality and hedonic are chocolate 0.1 %, vanilla 0.5 %, jasmine tea, soursop 0.3 % and red grape 0.5 %.

Judul: Development of Potentially Functional Drink from Skimmed Milk Enriched with Red or Black Variety Rice Bran
Abstrak: Rice bran is a good source of antioxidants such as polyphenol compounds that are potentially formulated in skimmed milk drink. The objectives of this research were to develop potentially functional drink from skimmed milk enriched with red or black variety rice bran and to evaluate their physical, chemical and sensory qualities. The milk drinks were formulated with skimmed milk (95%) and sucrose (5%) as fixed formula. Considering the result of preliminary research, the addition of red or black variety rice bran at amount of 4, 6, 8% (w/w) and carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) at amount of 0, 0.05, 0.1% (w/w) were based on fixed formula and water addition in ratio 4:1 (w/w) of water weight and total weight of skimmed milk powder, sucrose, rice bran, and CMC. The milk drink formula was selected based on total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin content (TAC) and its antioxidant activities using DPPH and FRAP assay. Two selected formulas were characterized in terms of physical properties (viscosity and colour), chemical properties (pH, total soluble solid, and proximate), and sensory evaluation by rating hedonic. Red and black variety rice bran had high TPC with amount 512.19±43.91 and 1247.56±196.34 mg GAE/100 g, TAC with amount 1.94±0.19 and 40.69±4.21 mg C-3-G/100 g, respectively. Red and black variety rice bran also showed antioxidant activity based on DPPH assay (106.68±13.49 and 209.93±19.75 mmol Trolox/100 g, respectively) and FRAP assay (8.04±0.39 and 14.66±0.56 mmol FeSO4/100 g, respectively). The milk drink enriched with red variety rice bran, the highest content of TPC (33.83±1.00 mg GAE/100 mL), TAC (1.86±0.32 mg C-3-G/L), and antioxidant activities of DPPH (83.38±1.37 mmol Trolox/100 mL) and FRAP (0.43±0.01 mmol FeSO4/100 mL) by addition of 8% red variety rice bran and 0.05% CMC. The milk drink enriched with 8% black variety rice bran and 0.1% CMC showed the highest values in TPC (39.61±0.11 mg GAE/100 mL), DPPH (196.22±3.77 mmol Trolox/100 mL), FRAP (0.63±0.07 mmol FeSO4/ 100 mL) and TAC (5.53±0.03 mg C-3-G/L). Furthermore, the proximate analysis showed that the selected drinks had low fat content and high fiber content. Both milk drinks also were moderately liked on overall liking attribute. Based on its TPC, TAC and antioxidant activities, these milk drinks enriched with black and red variety rice bran are potentially developed as functional drinks.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
