Judul: Pengaruh aspek hidrotermik terhadap susut kualitatif, mutu mikrobiologi dan teknologi dalam penyimpanan kedele
Abstrak: Penyimpanan adalah salah satu tahap kegiatan pas­ca panen selain penanganan (handling) dan peningkatan daya guna atau pengolahan (processing). Kegiatan pe - nyimpanan terutama ditujukan untuk pengamanan dalam arti pencegahan, penghindaran atau pengurangan kerugian dengan daya seoptimal mungkin. Penyimpanan pangan bagi sesuatu negara adalah mutlak karena keamanan dan kecukupan pangan, stabilitas harga, stabilitas POLEKSOS HANKAM (Politik, Ekonomi, Sosial dan Pertahanan Keamanan) bahkan kemantapan dalam diplomasi luar negeri bergantung pada stok pangan nasi­onal. Pada tingkat petani peranan penyimpanan penting untuk benih, pengamanan hasil, memperoleh keuntungan, cadangan untuk paceklik, pemupuk modal, dan secara ti - dak langsung merangsang kenaikan produksi. Selama penyimpanan, kualitas kedele .mengalami pe -nurunan dimana sering terjadi susut, baik susut kuanti­tas maupun susut kualitas. Makin lama penyimpanan, ma­kin besar pula susut yang terjadi. Untuk menekan susut selama penyimpanan, terutama penyimpanan jangka panjang diperluf<an metoda penyimpanan yang lebih baik.

Abstrak: Deterioration of quality soybeans was continued happen during the storage process. Packaging has important effect during storage. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of plastic packaging techniques against the change quality of soybeans during storage. Soybean was stored on three kinds of plastic packaging material they are hermetic, HDPE combined with nylon sack bag and vacuum pack. Sample was stored for 5 months in room temperature of 27-30oC and RH of 60-70% with 5 bags bonding pattern. Parameters were measured are: moisture content, weight change, the quality of soybean (damaged grain, split, discolored, wrinkled), and protein. Soybean which package in hermetic plastic was better in maintaining the water content (8.51%), split grains (3.17%) and wrinkled grains (4.11%) in the other side soybean which package in vacuum was better in weight change (0.96%) and damaged grains (45.36%) during the fifth month of storage. HDPE packaging was showing a little discolored grain (5.01%) and better in maintaining the protein content of soybeans in storage (41.28%).

Judul: The isolation and molecular identification of papillomavirus in macaca fascicularis and macaca nemestrina at animal facility of primate research centre – Bogor Agricultural University.
Abstrak: Cervical cancer is still regarded as a major cause of death in women world wide, hence research on papilloma viruses, their drugs and vaccines for the prevention are still continued. Papilloma virus is a DNA virus of the family papillomaviridae. Papilloma virions have no sheath, the diameter of 55 nm, and icosahedral capsid. The virus multiplies in the cell nucleus and causes chronic latent infection. The virus genome has a circular form, 8 kbp in length with 8 open reading frames. The genome is divided into early (E) and late (L) genes. The E gen synthesizes 6 E proteins, namely E1, E2, E4, E5, E6 and E7, which are linked into the process of viral replication and oncogenes. Meanwhile, the L gene synthesizes 2 proteins, the L1 and L2, which are related to the formation of the capsid (Hakim 2010). In order to obtain the best result of the cancer research, it is highly requested to obtain appropriate animal model that reflect aspects of human disease. Non-human primates have high similarity with humans, both in terms of the evolution of the genetic, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and organ systems, as well as in cancer genes. Non-human primates of the genus Macaca is a genus with the highest distribution worldwide, from Japan to Afghanistan. So far, there are 22 species are included in the genus Macaca. Originally rhesus monkeys or M. mulatta are widely used for biomedical research, but since the Indian government imposed a ban on importing these animals, then Macaca fascicularis (Long-tailed Macaque, cynomolgus) and Macaca nemestrina (Pig-tailed Macaque), which has high population in Southeast Asia, began to be used as research animal. Various medical aspects related to both species are commonly studied by many researchers as an animal model for human diseases. This study is using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and nucleotide tracking to identify papillomavirus tipes that infect the genital tract of Macaca fascicularis and Macaca nemestrina, which is kept in breeding facilities of Primate Research Center, IPB. The analysis of nucleotide sequences were performed using the Clustal W 2.1 and 5.1 Mega program. The establishment of phylogenetic tree using neighbor joining with 1000 times bootstrap repetition. The results showed that the papillomavirus that infect Macaca fascicularis was 32.7% (78/238) and Macaca nemestrina 12% (4/31). Both species were infected by Macaca fascicularis papillomavirus (MfPV) tipe 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, belongs to the genus Alpha papillomavirus with homology of 80 - 100%. Papilloma virus that infected the pig-tailed macaque was the same tipe of papillomavirus that infected the cynomolgus with similarity between 82% - 99% based on L1 region. To further explain the tipes of papilloma viruses that infected the pig-tailed macaque, it is necessary to identify the entire genome of the virus. To determine the tipe of the virus, it requires the identification of a more complete nucleotide sequence. It is interesting because papillomavirus that infected the pigtail macaques has 76% homology with the HPV tipe 52. This is the first report on the incidence of papillomavirus infection in the pigtail macaque genome that further analysis
