Judul: Pembuatan dan Penentuan Umur Simpan Minuman Hidrolisat Daging Kambing Kacang (C. aegragus hircus)
Abstrak: Goat is one of farming commodity that has considerable potential and opportunities to be developed in Indonesia. Hydrolysis of protein in goat’s meat will produce meat hydrolyzate with better solubility and digestibility than goat meat. Meat hydrolizate has been used for making beverage. The problem that occurs is the smell of goat meat which less preferred. In this study, beverage products will be made from goat meat hydrolyzate with the addition of orange essens. The most preferred formula is by addition of 0,09% fruit essens. This product was made by two heat treatment, sterilization and pasteurization. This product has 7,1 of pH value, 8,0 brix of total soluble solid, and Yellow Red in colour. Meaty flavor that still appears on this product causes the lacking of acceptance in taste parameters, but overall, this product is acceptable by the panelists (overall score of 5.03 for sterilized product and 5,00 for pasteurized product). The protein digestibility of sterilized product is 10,11%, whereas the pasteurized product has 1,52% protein digestibility. The protein digestibility of this product was count relatively to the digestibility of casein (100%). The self life of sterilized product is 164 days in chiller storage and 43 days in room storage based on total plate count of the product.

Judul: Karakterisasi Peptida Inhibitor Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Hidrolisat Daging Kambing Kacang (Capra aegagrus hircus Linn) dalam Potensinya sebagai Ingredien Pangan Fungsional
Abstrak: The kacang goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is indigenous to Indonesia and Malaysia, and is common throughout in Southeast Asia. The negative issue facing Indonesian people is that consumption of goat meat can lead to hypertension. Natural angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from animal protein are considered as an alternative antihypertensive agent. ACE inhibitory peptide could be generated by hydrolysis the protein sources by using the proteolytic enzymes. The purpose of this research was to obtain the water soluble fraction of protein hydrolysates derived from kacang goat in their inhibition of ACE and antihypertensive activities. This study used ten male of kacang goats aged 8-24 months from a local farm in East Java were brought to Bogor by Mitra Tani Farm, West Java Indonesia. The goats divided into two slaughter ages, namely < 1.5 years old and >1.5 years old. Kacang goats are generally slaughtered for consumption at these ages. The body part used for this research was the carcass leg. The contents of protein, fat, moisture, ash, and amino acid in the goat meat were not different on both of slaughter ages. The dominant amino acids found in the goat meat were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucyne and lysine. Protein hydrolysate of kacang goat meat was generated by adding endoprotease into homogenate (minced meat to distilled water, 1:3) with several concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% w/w of the total substrate) and hydrolyzed for 60 min. The next hydrolysis was conducted by adding protease complex at several concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% w/w of the total substrate) to the first hydrolysate. Digestion proceeded for 1, 3, and 5 h. The pH of homogenate was kept constant by addition of 6 N NaOH and was monitored every 30 min during hydrolysis. The water soluble fraction (WSF) of hydrolysate was obtained by separating the supernatant and its residue. The crude hydrolysates were charactherized by analysis the ACE inhibitory activity, degree of hydrolysis, soluble protein content, peptide content and yield percentage. The ACE inhibitory activity of crude hydrolysate at 0.5 mg/mL and 1.0 mg/mL ranged between 21.2-45.2% and 48-58%, respectively. The crude hydrolysates had degree of hydrolysis ranged between 10.4-26.3%, soluble protein contents ranged between 534.7 - 579.9 mg/g, peptide contents 400.4-520.8 mg/g and the yield percentage ranged between 49.9-76.0%. The highest ACE inhibitory activity resulted from a hydrolysate digested for 4 h with 5 g kg-1 of both enzymes. The hydrolysate was further fractionated gradually to determine the sequence of ACE inhibitory peptide. Fractionation of protein hydrolysate was started by concentrating the hydrolysate through ultrafiltration system by using centrifugal filter membrane (molecular weight cut-off, MWCO; 3 kDa). Furthermore, an active fraction was separated on a Sephadex G-10 column. The most active fraction was then purified by high performance liquid chromatography- reversed phase (HPLC-RP) gradually with two different types of columns and was obtained an ACE inhibitory peptide with a molecular weight of 478 Da. The ACE inhibitory peptide from most active fraction with IC50 : 12.91 mg/mL (27.0 μM) was identified as tetra-peptide, Phe-Gln-Pro-Ser. Protein hydrolysate and Phe-Gln-Pro-Ser demonstrated the potent antihypertensive activities in spontaneous hypertensive

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
