Judul: Rancangan Proses Pembuatan Alkohol Dari Plasenta Coklat Dengan Menggunakan Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang metoda pem- buatan alkohol dari plasenta coklat dengan cara memodifikasi pembuatan alkohol dari tetes dan ubi kayu. Plasenta coklat diencerkan dengan perbandingan 1: 2, 15 dan 1 10 dengan menggunakan akuades. Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah konsentrasi khamir dan waktu fermentasi. Konsentrasi khamir yang digunakan adalah satu persen, dua persen dan tiga persen dan waktu fermentasi adalah satu hari, empat hari dan tujuh hari. Plasenta coklat dapat diubah menjadi alkohol melalui tahap-tahap penggilingan, pengenceran 15, pemanasan pada suhu 50°C selama 5 menit, penyaringan, pengaturan pH 4.5, penambahan 0.5 g pupuk ZA dan 0.1875 g pupuk NPK per 250 ml medium, pasteurisasi pada suhu 85°C selama 5 menit, inokulasi Saccharomyces cerevisiae, fermentasi dan pasteurisasi pada suhu 60 65°C selama 30 menit. Kadar alkohol terbesar diperoleh pada interaksi konsentrasi khamir tiga persen dengan fermentasi hari keempat, yaitu 0.399 persen (v/v). Kadar alkohol dipengaruhi oleh perlakuan waktu fermentasi dan interaksinya dengan konsentrasi khamir, sedangkan perlakuan konsentrasi khamir tidak berpengaruh terhadap kadar alkohol yang dihasilkan.

Judul: Studi Pembuatan Alkohol dari Biji Nangka Menggunakan Khamir Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstrak: Buah Nangka (Artocarpus heterophyllus, Lmk) merupakan buah yang berasal dari India bagian selatan. Buah nangka terdiatas beberapa bagian, yaitu daging buah, kulit, jerami, dan biji nangka. Hingga sekarang biji nangka belum dimanfaatkan secara sempurna. Kandungan tertinggi yang terdapat pada biji nangka adalah air dan karbohidrat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan biji nangka sebagai bahan baku pembuatan alkohol. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan khamir Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Penelitian dibagi atas dua tahap, yaitu penelitian pendahuluan dan penelitian utama. Rancangan percobaan yang dilakukan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap percobaan faktorial dengan dua kali ulangan. Faktor perlakuannya adalah konsentrasi starter khamir (2%, 3% dan 4%) dan lama fermentasi (2 hari, 3 hari, 5 hari dan 7 hari).

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
