Judul: Formulasi dan Karakterisasi Profil Sensori Produk Simulated Cassava French Fries
Abstrak: Singkong (Manihot esculenta Crantz) merupakan salah satu pangan lokal (local indigenous resources) yang memiliki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan. Singkong memiliki beberapa keunggulan, diantaranya adalah cara budidaya (penanamannya) mudah, toleran terhadap kondisi kering dan produksinya tidak tergantung musim tanam. Berdasarkan data FAO tahun 2004, Indonesia merupakan penghasil singkong urutan keempat terbesar di dunia. Mengingat potensi dan ketersediaan yang besar, sebaiknya singkong diolah menjadi suatu produk pangan baru, salah satunya adalah simulated cassava french fries yang belum dikembangkan. French fries merupakan produk dari potongan kentang (berukuran 1 x 1 cm2 dengan panjang 6-7 cm) yang diolah melalui proses penggorengan. Tingkat permintaan terhadap potato french fries (lazim disebut french fries) di Indonesia terus bertambah. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa produk french fries ini memang diminati.

Judul: Karakterisasi dan Analisis Kluster Tepung Singkong Terfermentasi Varietas Indonesia
Abstrak: Indonesia has various types of cassava with different physicochemical characteristics. Cassava can be processed into fermented cassava flour (FCF), which is an intermediate cassava-based product used as a raw material in food industries. To enhance the database of cassava varieties in Indonesia, this study aimed to characterize the chemical composition and pasting profiles of FCF produced from 28 different Indonesian cassava varieties. The FCF samples were analyzed in terms of chemical composition (moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, amylopectin, and cyanide content) and their pasting properties (peak viscosity, hot paste viscosity, breakdown viscosity, final viscosity, setback viscosity, pasting temperature, peak time, and gel strength). The chemical composition data were subsequently analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC). This research discovered that the 28 cassava varieties had a significant effect on moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, amylopectin, cyanide content, and gel strength (p<0.05). The highest productivity value of cassava was in UK 1. However, when combined with the FCF yield, the most efficient variety for FCF production was Barokah. The most potential cassava variety in FCF production had high cyanide and ash content that exceeded SNI. Thus, further decreasing method is needed. A decrease in ash content is needed for UK1, Darul Hidayah, Manggu Bogor, and Kubar B, while a decrease in cyanide content is needed for Barokah, Gajah B, Randu, and Genjah Bayam. Some varieties were potential for tapioca raw material, namely UK 1, Barokah, and Malang 4. The result of pasting properties showed a relatively wide range of each parameter, indicating a potential wide range of food application. The PCA of chemical composition visualized the relationships and similarities among the different cassava varieties based on their ash, starch, amylose, amylopectin, and cyanide content. Based on the same factors, three clusters of FCF were identified: the first cluster had the lowest level of ash, starch, and amylopectin content but has the highest amylose and cyanide content; the second cluster displayed demonstrated the highest ash content and the lowest cyanide content, and the last cluster exhibited the highest levels of starch, amylopectin, but intermediate ash, amylose, and cyanide content. These findings successfully identified cassava varieties with a potential application as a food ingredient., Indonesia memiliki berbagai jenis singkong dengan karakteristik fisikokimia yang berbeda-beda. Singkong dapat diolah menjadi tepung singkong terfermentasi atau fermented cassava flour (FCF) yang merupakan produk antara untuk bahan baku industri makanan. Untuk meningkatkan data varietas singkong di Indonesia, penelitian ini mengkarakterisasi komposisi kimia dan sifat pasta pada FCF yang dihasilkan dari 28 varietas singkong berbeda yang ada di Indonesia. Sampel FCF dianalisis kandungan kimianya (kadar air, abu, protein, lemak, karbohidrat, pati, amilosa, amilopektin, dan sianida) dan sifat pasta (viskositas puncak, viskositas jatuh, viskositas pasta panas, viskositas akhir, viskositas balik, suhu pasting, waktu puncak, dan kekuatan gel). Data komposisi kimia selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan Principal Component Analysis (PCA) dan Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC). Penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa 28 varietas ubi kayu berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kadar air, abu, protein, lemak, karbohidrat, pati, amilosa, amilopektin, sianida, dan kekuatan gel (p<0,05). Nilai produktivitas umbi singkong tertinggi ada di

Abstrak: This study was made to observe the effect of blood parasite (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., and Babesia sp.) on leukocyte value in horse. The blood samples were taken from 6 crossbred horses (3 male and 3 female) positively infected by blood parasite (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., and Babesia sp.) with variant age (2-10 years old) in URR, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Bogor Agricultural University. Blood samples were taken every 2 weeks for 2 months. The blood leukocyte value were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA). Average of Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., and Babesia sp. in those horses was 1.05%, 1.01%, and 0.68%, respectively. Horses with mild parasitemia were not show clinical sign and potentially become parasite carrier. Based on the research the mild infestation of blood parasite (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., and Babesia sp.) was not significantly influence the leukocyte value.
