Judul: Analisis Determinan Status Gizi Balita di Permukiman Padat Penduduk Bantaran Sungai Kelurahan Paledang
Abstrak: This study aimed to analyze nutritional status determinant of children under five years old in densely populated riverbank area. A cross sectional study of 64 subjects was conducted. Data was collected by questionnaire through interview and was analyzed by descriptive and inference. The result showed there was significant correlation between house characteristics and health parenting with nutritional status, but there were no significant correlation between parents’ education, length of family, outcome, nutritional knowledge of mothers, eat parenting, morbidity score and dietary allowance of energy-protein with nutritional status. Result of multiple linear regression analysis showed that there was real positive effect between characteristics of house and health parenting to nutritional status (p<0.1) and there was no effect between parents education, length of family, outcome, nutritional knowledge of mothers, eat parenting, energy and protein dietary allowance to nutritional status (p>0.1).

Abstrak: This study aimed to analyze the impacts of parenting practices (feeding and home health practices) on underfive children’s nutritional status in different level of household food security. The study design was a cross-sectional study. The locations were purposively selected at the rural food insecure area in Banjarnegara (Kecamatan Pejawaran and Kecamatan Punggelan). Total samples of the study were 300 children and their families. Data on parenting practices were collected through personal interviews used questionnaire and nutritional status was calculated by using WHO-NCHS z-score. The study showed that 37.3 percent of households were categorized as very food-insecure, while 31.7 percent and 31.0 percent categorized as food-insecure and food-secure, respectively. The average scores of feeding and home health practices among samples were categorized as low (49.0%) and middle (73.1%) respectively, and children of group very food-insecure had the lowest score of parenting practices. There was a significantly difference among the groups in the scores of sample’s feeding practices. The study showed that about 86 percent of children were categorized as normal (BB/TB indicator), but there were 11.6 percent categorized as wasting, while 32.0 percent and 54.3 percent categorized as underweight and stunting, respectively. Statistical analyses showed significant difference in term of nutritional status. There was a significant correlation between child’s nutritional status (BB/U and TB/U) and home health practices, and between child’s nutritional status (BB/U, TB/U and BB/TB) and household food security. The study showed that child’s nutritional status (TB/U) was influenced by feeding practices, home health practices, household food security and father’s occupation.

Judul: Pembuatan Isoeugenol dari Eugenol Menggunakan Pemanasan Gelombang Mikro
Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan salah satu penghasil minyak cengkeh terbesar di dunia. Pasokan minyak cengkeh Indonesia ke pasar dunia mencapai 60% kebutuhan dunia. Pada tahun 2000, dari 2,080 ton minyak cengkeh yang dipasarkan, Indonesia memasok 1,317 ton (Deptan, 2005). Di negara-negara industri seperti Amerika Serikat, Perancis, Jerman, Italia, dan Inggris, minyak cengkeh digunakan sebagai bahan baku untuk membuat isolat eugenol dan derivatnya seperti isoeugenol dengan nilai tambah yang lebih tinggi. Harga eugenol sebesar Rp 75 000/kg, harga isoeugenol sebesar Rp 95 000/kg (Indesso, 2006) sedangkan harga minyak daun cengkeh Indonesia di pasar Internasional sekitar Rp 25 000/kg (Deptan, 2005). Isoeugenol merupakan senyawa yang banyak digunakan sebagai campuran dalam fragrances dan dalam produk-produk konsumsi harian seperti parfum, produk perawatan kulit, deodoran, sabun, shampo, deterjen serta sebagai bahan intermediet dalam produksi vanilin sintetik. Isoeugenol dihasilkan dari reaksi isomerisasi eugenol. Reaksi isomerisasi eugenol umumnya dilakukan dengan cara mereaksikan eugenol dalam larutan basa KOH atau NaOH pada suhu tinggi selama 5 – 7 jam (Cerveny et al., 1987). Lamanya waktu pemanasan konvensional ini diduga dapat dipersingkat dengan menggunakan pemanasan gelombang mikro. Aplikasi katalis basa yang membutuhkan jumlah yang berlebih dalam reaksi isomerisasi juga dapat digantikan dengan menggunakan katalis RhCl3.3H2O dalam jumlah yang lebih rendah (Chalk, 1977).
