Judul: Karakterisasi Tepung dan Pati dari Ubi Jalar Cilembu dan Ubi Jalar Ungu Ayamurasaki
Abstrak: The objective of this study was to characterize starch and flour of Cilembu and Ayamurasaki purple sweet potatoes in order to determine their potential application in food processing. T-test statistical analysis showed that there were only a few characteristics of flour and starch of Cilembu and Ayamurasaki purple sweet potatoes indicating significant differences. For flour, the characteristics that are significantly different were water content, protein content, carbohydrate content, starch content, peak viscosity, setback viscosity, and breakdown viscocity. Furthermore, the significantly different characteristics in their starch were moisture content, ash content, protein content, carbohydrate content, gelatinization temperature, maximum viscosity, breakdown viscosity, setback viscosity, swelling power, and solubility.

Judul: Karakterisasi sifat fisikokimia tepung ubi jalar (Ipomea batatas)
Abstrak: Ubi jalar (Ipomoea batatas) merupakan salah satu tanaman pangan tropis yang banyak terdapat di Indonesia. Ubi jalar memiliki potensi yang sangat layak untuk dipertimbangkan dalam menunjang program diversifikasi pangan yang berbasiskan pada produk tepung dan pati. Metode pengeringan yang digunakan akan mempengaruhi mutu tepung ubi jalar yang dihasilkan. Menyangkut hal tersebut, perlakuan awal dan berbagai teknik pengeringan pada pembuatan tepung ubi jalar diperkirakan mempunyai pengaruh besar terhadap perubahan karakteristik fisikokimia tepung ubi jalar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh perlakuan teknik pengolahan terhadap karakteristik fisikokimia tepung ubi jalar yang dihasilkan. Penelitian diawali dengan analisis proksimat ubi jalar kemudian pembuatan tepung ubi jalar dengan enam teknik proses yang berbeda yaitu teknik 1 (disawut-tanpa dikukus-sinar matahari), teknik 2 (disawut-tanpa dikukus-oven), teknik 3 (diiris-tanpa dikukus-drum dryer), teknik 4 (disawut-dikukus-sinar matahari), teknik 5 (disawut-dikukus-oven), dan teknik 6 (kupas utuh-dikukus-drum dryer), dilanjutkan dengan analisis tepung ubi jalar yang dihasilkan serta aplikasi tepung ubi jalar pada pembuatan roti manis. Analisis fisikokimia yang dilakukan pada tepung ubi jalar yang dihasilkan tersebut adalah analisis fisik dan kimia meliputi analisis kadar air, densitas kamba, warna, sifat mikroskopis granula pati, indeks penyerapan air (IPA) dan indeks kelarutan air (IKA), derajat gelatinisasi, sifat amilografi tepung, stabilitas terhadap pembekuan dan thawing. Roti manis yang dihasilkan dianalisis secara visual dan organoleptik meliputi pengembangan roti, warna, rasa, tekstur, dan aroma.

Judul: Truncated Stop Loss as a Optimal Solution of Reinsurance Agreement in One-Period Model
Abstrak: Reinsurance is one of risk management efforts of an insurance company, which is called the cedent. Similar with insurance, reinsurance constitutes the cedent to pay the premium. We consider one-period reinsurance model and derive a rule which minimizes the ruin probability of the cedent for a fixed reinsurance premium. Therefore, it is needed to construct an optimal reinsurance agreement for the cedent. The premium is calculated according to four different principles, i.e. economic, generalized zero-utility, Esscher, and mean-variance principles. Stop loss is a reinsurance contract which protect the insurance company for losses that exceed a certain amount. The result of this research shows that a truncated stop loss is an optimal agreement in the class of all reinsurance contracts with various premiums calculated using above mentioned principles.
