Abstrak: Recently, obesity has become a global problem that occurs not only in developed but also in developing country. One of the options to prevent obesity is by controlling bodyweight, which can be done by inhibiting the action of pancreatic lipase (anti-lipase) and resulted in reducing the absorbed lipid. Black tea is one of the food products that have anti-lipase activity. This study aims to determine the effect of time (5, 10, and 15 minutes) and temperature (70, 85, and 100 oC) of black tea brewing and in vitro digestion on lipase inhibition. The research method is divided into two stages, black tea brewing and in vitro gastrointestinal pH simulation. Beside anti-lipase activity, black tea extract is analyzed for the total phenol and condensed tannin level. The results showed that the brewing temperature, time, and the combination of them both influence the level of lipase inhibition, total phenol, and condensed tannin. Simulation of gastrointestinal pH on the extract caused decrease of lipase inhibition, total phenol, and condensed tannin level. The highest value of lipase inhibition by black tea extracts after subjected to gastrointestinal pH simulation, which show an overview of inhibition that actually occur in the small intestine, are black tea brewed at 70 °C for 5 minutes (47.91%) and 10 minutes (46.38%), and 100 oC for 15 minutes (54.23%). The activity of lipase was estimated to be inhibited by phenolic compound and condensed tannin in temperature of 70 oC brewed tea. Meanwhile, when brewed at 85 oC and 100 oC, only condensed tannin positively correlated with lipase inhibition. Based on overall results, it can be concluded that in order to reduce the absorption of lipids is advisable to drink black tea which is brewed at 70 °C for 5 min and 10 minutes, or 100 oC for 15 minutes.

Abstrak: Obesity will lead to many other degenerative diseases. One of the alternative solutions to prevent obesity is by inhibiting the digestion of lipids. Green tea extract has anti-lipase activity. This research aims to determine the effect of time (5, 10, and 15 minutes) and temperature (70, 85, and 100˚C) of green tea brewing and in vitro digestion on lipase inhibition. The research method is divided into two stages, green tea brewing and in vitro gastrointestinal pH simulation. Green tea extract is analyzed for anti-lipase activity, total phenol, and condensed tannin level. The results showed that the temperature and time of brewing influence the level of lipase inhibition, total phenol, and condensed tannin of green tea extract. The total phenols and condensed tannin level have a strong correlation with the lipase inhibition. The green tea initial extract (before in vitro digestion) in 85˚C for 5 min and 100˚C temperature in all the time showed the highest inhibition activity. But, after in vitro digestion, only green tea which brewed in 100˚C for 5 minutes and 10 minutes which had the best inhibition of lipase. There are no difference in significant level for inhibition activity between green tea brewed in 100˚C brewing temperature for 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

Judul: Konsep Taman Rumah Adat Bagas Godang Berbasis Budaya Mandailing, Kabupaten Mandailing Natal, Sumatera Utara.
Abstrak: Kekayaan suatu bangsa tidak terbatas pada kekayaan sumber daya alamnya akan tetapi juga kekayaan budayanya. Taman rumah tradisional merupakan salah satu kekayaan budaya di Indonesia yang dapat menjadi identitas dari suatu budaya tersebut. Budaya Mandailing sudah dikenal sejak abad ke-14 M. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan penyebutan nama Mandailing di kitab Negara Kertagama, karangan Mpu Prapanca. Budaya Mandailing awalnya banyak dipengaruhi oleh kepercayaan animisme dan dinamisme yang disebut sipelebegu. Kemudian perkembangan selanjutnya budaya Mandailing bersinggungan dengan Hindu- Budha. Akan tetapi Islam membawa pengaruh yang sangat besar terhadap budaya Mandailing. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan adanya filosofi hombar do adat dohot ibadat yaitu adat tidak boleh bertentangan dengan agama. Dalihan Natolu merupakan konsep kekerabatan yang banyak mempengaruhi nilai-nilai kehidupan masyarakat Mandailing. Konsep Dalihan Natolu menjadi konsep dasar yang mempengaruhi pola permukiman adat Mandailing. Dalihan Natolu terdiri dari mora, anak boru, dan kahanggi. Hubungan antara ketiga komponen ini menentukan jarak antar rumah di permukiman adat. Suatu permukiman terdapat Rumah tinggal yang merupakan landmark dari berdirinya suatu permukiman. Rumah tinggal ini disebut Bagas Godang. Bagas Godang bagi masyarakat Mandailing bukan hanya sebagai rumah tinggal seorang raja atau tunggani huta. Godang bermakna sebagai rumah bagi seluruh marga di huta adat tersebut. Bagi masyarakat Mandailing raja tidak hanya berperan sebagai penguasa huta adat, akan tetapi mereka adalah orang yang dituakan yang dapat menyelesaikan berbagai masalah di permukiman adat tersebut. Komplek Bagas Godang terdiri dari Bagas Godang atau kediaman raja, Sopo Godang yaitu tempat peyimpanan instrument alat music dan musyawarah, serta biasanya memiliki Sopo Eme atau lumbung padi, serta Alaman Bolak Selangseutang merupakan halaman.
