Judul: Rekayasa proses penggorengan vakum (Vacuum Frying) dan pengemasan keripik durian mentawai
Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan negara yang terletak di wilayah tropis, serta beriklim basah. Daerah seperti ini memungkinkan tumbuhnya berbagai macam tumbuhan dengan subur. Keanekaragaman jenis buah-buahan merupakan sumber genetik yang sulit ditemukan di daerah lain. Pada saat musim panen raya, harga buah menurun secara drastis dikarenakan kelebihan produksi. Hal ini tentu saja akan merugikan para petani buah tersebut, sehingga diperlukan suatu proses pengolahan pasca panen buah-buahan tersebut menjadi penganan dengan nilai jual yang lebih tinggi, salah satunya adalah produk keripik.

Abstrak: Vacuum frying is a new technology that can be used to improve quality attributes of fried food because of low temperatures process. The objectives of this study is to assess the effects of oil temperatures and exposure time of frying on physic-chemical and organoleptic properties of banana chips to get a better quality products, to determine packaging material that can extend shelf life of banana chips, to predict shelf life of banana chips using the method of acceleration and to calculate production costs and the business feasibility of vacuum fried banana chips. The quality parameters tested include water content, fat content, colour, thickness and organoleptic test. Banana chips were fried in oils with temperature of 60, 70, 80, and 90 °C and time of frying 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes. The result showed that the temperature and frying time is significantly influence the quality and characteristics of the products. The best quality of banana chips obtained at frying temperature of 80 ˚ C for 60 minutes. Aluminum foil can maintain the shelf life of banana chips for 115 days of storage, while the PP is only for 70.6 days of storage based on water content parameter . Banana chips business eligible to run if production capacity is 4 kg or more.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
