Judul: Microbiological Characteristics of Chicken Meat Processed with Taichan chili using Retort Pouch
Abstrak: Daging ayam olahan sambal taichan merupakan makanan siap saji yang dikemas menggunakan retort pouch dan polypropylen yang direkatkan kemudian disterilkan pada suhu 135 °C selama 10 menit. Kemasan berfungsi untuk menyimpan produk agar tetap awet dan cita rasa produk tidak berubah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji sifat mikrobiologi daging ayam olahan sambal taichan yang dikemas menggunakan kantong retort pouch dan disimpan di suhu ruang. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap pola faktorial dengan faktor pertama adalah pengemasan terdiri atas 2 jenis, yaitu: retort pouch dan polypropylen faktor kedua adalah penyimpanan yang terdiri atas 3 taraf, yaitu: 0, 7, dan 14 hari. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deksriptif dengan acuan SNI 7388-2009 Batas maksimum cemaran mikroba dalam pangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa daging ayam olahan sambal taichan dengan kemasan retort pouch tidak melebihi batas maksimum SNI selama 14 hari penyimpanan. Sedangkan, produk dengan kemasan polypropylen melebihi batas maksimum SNI terhadap total plate count . Penggunaan kemasan retort pouch tidak melebihi batas makismum SNI selama 14 hari dan 7 hari. Sedangkan, kemasan polypropylen melebihi batas maksimum SNI terhadap Salmonella sp dan Escherichia coli . Secara keseluruhan, daging ayam olahan sambal taichan dengan pengemas retort pouch menunjukan hasil terbaik untuk pengujian mikrobiologi., Taichan chili processed chicken is a ready-to-eat food that is packaged using a retort pouch and glued polypropylene and then sterilized at a temperature of 135 °C for 10 minutes. Packaging serves to store the product so that it remains durable and the taste of the product does not change. This study aims to examine the microbiological properties of processed chicken meat with taichan sauce which is packaged using a retort pouch and stored at room temperature. This study used a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern with the first factor being packaging consisting of 2 types, namely: retort pouch and polypropylene, the second factor being storage consisting of 3 levels, namely: 0, 7, and 14 days. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively with reference to SNI 7388-2009 Maximum limit of microbial contamination in food. The results showed that the chicken meat processed with taichan sauce with retort pouch packaging did not exceed the maximum SNI limit for 14 days of storage. Meanwhile, products with polypropylene packaging exceed the maximum limit of SNI for the total plate count. The use of retort pouch packaging does not exceed the maximum limit of SNI for 14 days and 7 days. Meanwhile, polypropylene packaging exceeded the maximum limit of SNI for Salmonella sp and Escherichia coli. Overall, chicken meat processed with taichan sauce with retort pouch packaging showed the best results for microbiological testing.

Judul: Physicochemical and Organoleptic Properties of  Chicken Processed Meat Using Packaging Retort Pouch
Abstrak: Pengemasan menggunakan retort pouch dapat mempengaruhi sifat fisikokimia dan organoleptik produk olahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sifat fisikokimia dan organoleptik daging ayam olahan sambal taichan yang dikemas menggunakan kantong retort dan disimpan di suhu ruang. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial (2 x 3) dengan faktor pertama adalah metode pengemasan terdiri atas 2 jenis, yaitu: retort pouch dan polipropilen (sebagai pembanding). Faktor kedua adalah penyimpanan yang terdiri atas 3 taraf, yaitu: 0, 7, dan 14 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengemas retort pouch menghasilkan pH daging ayam olahan sambal taichan yang lebih tinggi (p<0,05) daripada yang dikemas polipropilen selama penyimpanan 7 dan 14 hari. Daging ayam olahan sambal taichan yang dikemas menggunakan retort pouch memiliki nilai aw dan kadar air lebih tinggi (p<0,05) daripada yang dikemas menggunakan polipropilen. Lama penyimpanan memberikan pengaruh nyata (p<0,05) terhadap kandungan malonaldehida pada daging ayam olahan sambal taichan. Hasil uji skoring menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan kemasan dan lama penyimpanan memberikan pengaruh nyata (p<0,05) terhadap kriteria mutu bau busuk daging ayam olahan sambal taichan. Berdasarkan mutu fisikokimia dan organoleptik produk daging ayam olahan sambal taichan yang dikemas menggunakan retort pouch lebih stabil daripada menggunakan kemasan polipropilen selama penyimpanan 14 hari., Packaging with retort pouch can impair the physico-chemical and organoleptic properties of the processed products. This study aims to investigate the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of processed chicken meat with Taichan sauce that is packaged in retort pouch and stored at room temperature. A fully randomized design (CRD) with a factorial pattern (2 x 3) was used in this study, the first factor being the packaging method, which consisted of 2 types, namely: retort pouches and polypropylene (for comparison). The second factor is the retention, which consists of 3 levels, namely: 0, 7 and 14 days. The results showed that the retort pouch packaging resulted in a higher pH of processed chicken with Taichan sauce (p<0.05) than the polypropylene that was packaged for 7 and 14 days of storage. Chicken processed with Taichan chilli that was packaged using a retort bag had a higher aw value and water content (p<0.05) than that packaged using polypropylene. Storage time had a significant impact (p<0.05) on malonaldehyde content in processed chicken with Taichan sauce. The results of the scoring test showed that package handling and storage time had a significant impact (p <0.05) on the putrid smell quality criteria of processed chicken with Taichan sauce. Processed chicken meat products with Taichan sauce packaged in retort pouch were more stable when stored for 14 days than in polypropylene packaging based on physicochemical and organoleptic quality.

Judul: Penggunaan Metode Homotopi untuk Menyelesaikan Persamaan KdV (Korteweg-de Vries)
Abstrak: Natural phenomena can be explained using nonlinear mathematical models. In this paper, we studied the solution of KdV equation using the Homotopy method. The KdV equation is used for describing both surface and internal waves. One of the solutions is called a solitary wave. The use of homotopy method to solve the KdV equation required a nonlinear operator which was determined by the nonlinear form of the KdV equation itself. Based on this operator, a recursive formula was obtained to get a sequence of the KdV solution. The higher the sequence order of the sequence used, the closer to the exact solution of the KdV equation.
