Judul: Food Pairing Sensory Evaluation of Complimentary Food for Consuming Tea
Abstrak: Food pairing adalah metode ilmiah untuk mengidentifikasi makanan dan minuman mana yang cocok dikombinasikan. Penelitian secara formal mengenai food pairing di Indonesia belum dilakukan, termasuk mengenai makanan yang paling cocok jika dipadukan dengan teh sebagai minumannya. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan meneliti mengenai food pairing, menganalisis makanan yang paling cocok sebagai pendamping minum teh, dan mengidentifikasi profil sensorinya menggunakan panelis konsumen berbasis home use test. Penelitian dilakukan dengan tahapan antara lain survei online mengenai pola konsumsi teh dan screening makanan pendamping teh yang paling diminati, kemudian dilakukan focus group discussion (FGD) untuk menentukan atribut sensori yang diujikan, dan uji sensori menggunakan metode check-all-that-apply (CATA). Hasil survey menunjukkan masyarakat menyukai teh hitam manis hangat yang dipadukan dengan biskuit. Berdasarkan analisis CATA, atribut yang diinginkan konsumen pada perpaduan yang ideal adalah buttery, creamy, gurih kelapa, sandy, dan manis. Pasangan produk yang paling mendekati ideal adalah teh dengan biskuit Roma Kelapa yang perpaduanya dapat meningkatkan rasa manis, meningkatkan mouthfeel buttery dan creamy, serta menurunkan tekstur sandy., Food pairing is a research method for identifying the suitability of certain foods and drinks for each other. No food pairing research has been conducted in Indonesia, including concerning the most appropriate food when combined with tea. Thus, this study will investigate how many different food items can be combined with tea and the characteristics of those food items. The research was carried out by stages, including an online survey of tea consumption patterns, a screening of most popular tea companion food products, a focus group discussion to determine the sensory attributes tested, and sensory tests using the check-all-that-apply (CATA) method. The survey respondents liked the combination of tea and biscuits. Based on CATA calculation.

Judul: The Solution of Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equation using Linearization Method.
Abstrak: Many natural phenomena can be explained by mathematical models. One of those models is in the form of Volterra integral equation, which is usually nonlinear. Analitically, a nonlinear form is difficult to solve. Therefore, this research is aimed to discuss solution of Volterra integral equation using linearization method. Linearization is done to nonlinear integrand with Taylor series expansion. According to this linearization, a numerical solution of Volterra integral equation is obtained using MATLAB 7.0.1 software. Validity of this method is tested by comparing the approximate with the exact solution. The result of this research shows that the numerical solution agree with the exact solution quite well.
