Judul: Pengamatan penyakit rabies pada kelelawar (Chiroptera) di daerah kota dan Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Rabies pada satwa liar khususnya kelelawar sering terjadi di beberapa negara maju seperti Amerika serikat, Kanada dan Amerika Latin, ini merupakan jenis silvatik rabies yaitu rabies yang terjadi di daerah daerah pegunungan dan hutan. Banyak kasus yang telah dilaporkan sehubungan dengan kasus tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya penyebaran rabies. pada kelelawar (Chiroptera) di Indonesia khususnya di Bogor. Telah dilakukan permulaan pemeriksaan terhadap sepuluh ekor kelelawar yang dikumpulkan dari kota dan kabupaten Bogor yang diambil otaknya dengan menggunakan uji Seller, FAT (Flouresecent Antibody Technique) dan biologis, untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya virus rabies. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa dari sampel otak kelelawar diperoleh hasil negatif atau tidak ditemukan adanya virus rabies pada sampel tersebut.

Judul: Pengamatan penyakit rabies pada tikus rumah di daerah endemik kota Kabupaten Sukabmi, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah tikus-tikus liar di Kelurahan Gunung Parang, Kota Sukabumi dan Kelurahan Cibadak, Kabupaten Sukabumi berperan sebagai sumber infeksi penyakit rabies. Penelitian menggunakan sampel otak tikus-tikus yang berasal dari daerah tersebut. Sampel-sampel otak hewan diperiksa dengan uji Seller, uji Fluorescent Antibody Technique (FAT), serta uji biologis pada mencit. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa tikus liar di daerah tersebut belum berperan sebagai sumber infeksi dan penular virus penyakit rabies.

Judul: Biological Value Evaluation and Index Glycemic of Dry Corn Noodle and Instant Corn Noodle Substitution
Abstrak: Corn flour is potentially used as a raw material in noodle formulation. The previous study showed that 30% of corn flour was used as a substitute of wheat flour in dried and instant noodle. The corn flour substituted noodle applied drying or frying process at a high temperature, which may affect the nutritional content and biological value of the noodle. For this reason the effect of heating process (drying or frying) during noodle processing on chemical composition and biological value of corn flour substituted noodle was studied. The wet noodle was dried in oven at 60oC for 70 minutes to produce dried noodle and fried in cooking oil at 160oC for 4 minutes to produce instant noodle. The noodles were evaluated in terms of chemical composition and glycemic index. Commercial instant noodles were also analyzed as a comparison. The amylose content of dried noodle substituted with 30% corn flour was 30.99% which was higher than that of instant noodle substituted with 30% corn flour (28.85%). The content of resistant starch of corn flour substitued dried and instant noodle corn was 14.80% and 17.25% respectively. Starch and soluble fiber digestibility of dried corn noodle was significantly different from these of instant corn noodle, which were 30.93% and 0.49%, and 25.33% and 0.68% respectively, whereas protein digestibility was relatively the same. The glycemic index of dried and instant corn noodle substitution and commercial noodle was categorized as a low glycemic index (54.18%; 51.33 and 48.65%), whereas the glycemic load of them was 26.12; 22.18 and 18.63 respectively and was categorized as a high and middle glycemic load. Drying or frying process did not significantly affect the glycemic index of both dried and instant corn noodle substituted.
