Judul: Pengujian staphylococcus aureus pada daging ayam beku yang dilalulintaskan melalui pelabuhan penyeberangan Merak
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji Staphylococcus aureus pada daging ayam beku sebagai indikator kualitas daging dan penanganan yang higienis di rumah potong unggas. Sebanyak 32 sampel daging ayam beku yang dilalulintaskan melalui pelabuhan penyeberangan Merak diambil dari Balai Karantina Pertanian Kelas II Cilegon. Sampel tersebut berasal dari DKI Jakarta (11 sampel), Bekasi (6 sampel), Bogor (4 sampel), dan Serang (11 sampel). Pengujian S. aureus dilakukan dengan metode hitungan cawan menggunakan media baird parker agar (BPA). Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sampel yang berasal dari Serang memiliki rataan jumlah S. aureus tertinggi yaitu sebesar 5.46x102±6.73x102 cfu/g, sedangkan sampel dari Bekasi memiliki rataan jumlah S. aureus terendah yaitu sebesar 0.60x102±0.38x102 cfu/g. Pada keempat daerah terdapat sampel yang melebihi batas maksimum jumlah S. aureus yang diperbolehkan dalam SNI 01- 7388-2009 (1x102 cfu/g) dengan proporsi rata-rata 35.42%.

Judul: Cemaran Staphylococcus aureus pada Daging Ayam yang Dijual di Pasar-Pasar di Tangerang Selatan
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to observe the total of Staphylococcus aureus in chicken meat sold in markets in South Tangerang City. This study was conducted using survey method by interviewing the vendors of chicken meat as respondents and observation the condition of marketplaces using questionnaires and sampling the chicken meat for laboratory examination. Total of 24 chicken meat samples was obtained purposively from 3 traditional markets, i.e., Pasar Modern, Pasar Bukit, and Pasar Jombang, and was examined with the spread plate method (the plate count method). The result of observation showed that Pasar Modern had the best criteria of general hygienic practices. Nevertheless, the laboratory result found that the chicken meat samples from Pasar Modern showed the highest amount of S. aureus (1116.0 + 1461.0 cfu/gram) and it was followed by Pasar Bukit (618.2 + 1045.8 cfu/gram) and Pasar Jombang (433.3 + 665.8 cfu/gram), with the mean of 802.5 + 1194.2 cfu/gram. Compared to the maximum limit of microbial contamination according to the Indonesia National Standard (SNI 7688:2009), 80% of chicken samples from Pasar Modern were higher than the standard (maximum limit = 100 cfu/gram), and then 66.7% of samples from Pasar Jombang and 54.5% of samples from Pasar Bukit were higher than the standard. The high number of S. aureus contamination in chicken meat was supposed in relation with inadequate personal hygiene practices and lack of cold chain from poultry processing plant until marketplace. This condition should be considered as a risk of food intoxication for the consumers since the presence of S. aureus in food in high number could produce the toxin which is heat-stable.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
