Judul: Perbandingan Pengukuran Kadar Air Metode Moisture Analyzer Dengan Metode Oven Pada Produk Biskuit Sandwich Cookies Di PT Mondelez Indonesia Manufacturing
Abstrak: Biskuit merupakan produk kering yang memiliki kadar air maksimum 5%. Biskuit dapat menjadi mudah rusak jika terjadi migrasi uap air dari lingkungan. Oleh sebab itu pengukuran kadar air sangat penting pada saat dilakukannya kendali mutu (quality control). Pengukuran kadar air produk biskuit sandwich cookies di PT Mondelez Indonesia Manufacturing ialah dengan menerapkan metode oven. Dalam rangka mempercepat proses pengukuran kadar air produk tersebut, perlu dilakukan pengukuran dengan metode alternatif yaitu menggunakan Moisture Analyzer. Pengukuran kadar air pada penelitian ini dilakukan dalam dua tahapan yaitu tahap pre-study dan main study. Data hasil pengukuran kadar air diolah menggunakan software Minitab 16. Hasil penelitian di tahap pre-study menunjukkan bahwa suhu yang tepat untuk setting suhu alat Moisture Analyzer pada Line 1 105oC, Line 3 107oC, Line 4 107oC, Line 5 105oC dan Lab QS 105oC. Hasil tahapan main study menunjukkan bahwa hasil pengukuran kadar air dengan menggunakan Moisture Analyzer tidak berbeda nyata dengan hasil pengukuran metode oven. Hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan manfaat informasi mengenai studi validasi pengukuran kadar air dengan menggunakan metode alternatif Moisture Analyzer.

Judul: Validation of moisture content method in seasoning powder using moisture analyzer halogen HB-43S, as alternative of oven and karl fischer method
Abstrak: In seasoning industries, moisture content of the product is one of important parameters to be measured and reported to assure the food product quality. The common analysis method to measure it in the food industry is Loss on drying (LOD) method by oven and Karl Fischer method. The result of LOD method is recognized as moisture content, while the result of Karl Fischer method commonly known as water content. The method that preferably used by PT. Givaudan Indonesia is Loss on drying method. This research aimed to obtain the heating conditions (temperature) in Moisture Analyzer Halogen HB43-S which can make the analysis result of this equipment will close to the result of LOD method using oven UM-400. The data obtained will be tested statistically using Dunnett Test method that compare these with the control. The result revealed that the use of Moisture Analyzer HB43-S at 105oC provided similar result to oven UM-400 method, however the use of oven methods is still more efficient rather than using Moisture Analyzer for the higher number of samples that more than 30. Moisture analyzer efficiently used for the limited samples only. Base on this research result we will use Moisture Analyzer method for handling the urgent request only. Karl Fischer method suitable for derivate sucrose products, it is able to replace oven analysis to measure vanilla flavour. This validation is needed to give information and data that can be used to expedite the approval of products.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
