Judul: The Effect of Palm Sugar and Tamarind on The Quality of Tempe Orek During Storage
Abstrak: Tempe orek merupakan produk olahan tempe yang umum ditemui di Indonesia. Tempe orek umumnya dibuat dalam jumlah banyak untuk pemakaian berulang yang disimpan pada suhu ruang. Gula merah dan asam jawa yang merupakan bumbu utama dalam pembuatan tempe orek menjadi faktor penting dalam memengaruhi kualitas produk selama penyimpanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh interaksi perlakuan gula merah, asam jawa, dan lama penyimpanan terhadap mutu tempe orek, serta mengukur profil sensori, tingkat kesukaan, dan komposisi kimia dari tempe orek terbaik. Mutu tempe orek yang diuji, yaitu kadar air, pH, tekstur, angka lempeng total (ALT), dan angka kapang khamir (AKK). Perlakuan terbaik ditentukan dengan metode skoring serta pengujian sensori Rate-all-that-apply (RATA), rating hedonik, dan uji proksimat. Kombinasi perlakuan gula merah, asam jawa, dan lama penyimpanan berpengaruh nyata terhadap parameter kadar air dan pH. Perlakuan terbaik diperoleh pada konsentrasi gula merah 50% dan asam jawa 2,50%. Pada perlakuan tersebut diperoleh nilai kadar air, pH, kekerasan, ALT, dan AKK yang menunjukkan bahwa tidak terjadi penurunan mutu tempe orek yang signifikan selama penyimpanan. Namun, terjadi penurunan intensitas atribut dan tingkat kesukaan terhadap tempe orek dengan perlakuan terbaik selama penyimpanan., Tempe orek is a processed tempe product that is commonly found in Indonesia. Tempe orek is generally made in large quantities for repeated use and stored at room temperature. Palm sugar and tamarind are the main spices and the important factors in influencing the quality of product during storage. This research aims to analyze the interactions of palm sugar, tamarind, and storage time on affecting the quality of tempe orek, and to measure the sensory profile and chemical composition of the best tempe orek. Water content, pH, texture, total plate count (TPC), and the total yeast and mold count (TYMC) were tested as the quality parameters. The best tempe orek was determined using the scoring method, and Rate-all-that-apply (RATA), hedonic rating, and proximate were tested. The interaction of palm sugar, tamarind, and storage time had a significant effect on water content and pH. Sample with concentration of 50% palm sugar and 2,50% tamarind were the best tempe orek. In this sample, the value of water content, pH, hardness, TPC, and TYMC showed that there was no significant decrease in the quality of tempe orek during storage. However, there was a decrease in the attribute intensity and the preference of the best tempe orek during storage.

Judul: Physical, Chemical, Sensory Characteristics, and Shelf Life of Tempe Chips
Abstrak: Keripik tempe merupakan salah satu bentuk diversifikasi dari pengolahan tempe sehingga produk tempe lebih awet. Di Indonesia, jenis keripik tempe yang beredar di pasaran adalah keripik tempe konvensional dan keripik tempe tapioka. Penelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan karakteristik fisik, kimia, dan sensori serta menentukan umur simpan keripik tempe yang dikemas dalam kemasan standing pouch aluminum foil. Analisis dilakukan dengan membandingkan keripik tempe produksi Rumah Tempe Azaki dengan keripik tempe komersial yang sudah beredar di pasaran yang akan dijadikan sebagai kontrol. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi proporsi tapioka yang digunakan sebagai bahan baku, maka semakin tinggi nilai oHue, kerenyahan, kadar karbohidrat, dan penilaian panelis terhadap karakteristik sensorinya. Selain itu, semakin tinggi proporsi kedelai yang digunakan sebagai bahan baku, maka semakin tinggi kadar abu, kadar lemak, kadar protein, dan kadar serat kasar. Keripik tempe tapioka dengan perbandingan kedelai dan tapioka sebesar 50:50 (b:b) cenderung lebih disukai dari segi warna, aroma, rasa, tekstur, dan keseluruhan, sedangkan keripik tempe konvensional cenderung kurang disukai dibandingkan kontrol (komersial). Umur simpan keripik tempe tapioka dan keripik tempe konvensional ditentukan berdasarkan parameter kritis kadar asam lemak bebas. Umur simpan keripik tempe tapioka yang dikemas dalam kemasan standing pouch aluminum foil pada suhu 27 dan 30 oC berturut-turut selama 71 dan 69 hari. Umur simpan keripik tempe konvensional yang dikemas dalam kemasan standing pouch aluminum foil pada suhu 27 dan 30 oC berturut-turut selama 68 dan 66 hari, Tempe chips are one of diversification of tempe processing so that tempe products are more durable. In Indonesia, the types of tempe chips on the market are conventional tempe chips and tapioca tempe chips. This study examines to compare the physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics and determine the shelf life of tempe chips that packaged in standing pouch aluminum foil. The analysis was carried out by comparing tempe chips produced by Rumah Tempe Azaki with commercial tempe chips already sold in the market which will be used as control. The results of this study showed that the higher the proportion of tapioca used as raw material, increased oHue values, crispness, carbohydrate content, and panelists assessment of sensory characteristics. In addition, the higher the proportion of soybean used as raw material, increased the ash content, fat content, protein content, and crude fiber content. Tapioca tempe chips with a ratio of 50:50 (w:w) soybean and tapioca tend to be preferred in terms of color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall, while conventional tempe chips tend to be less favorable than control (commercials). The shelf life of tapioca tempe chips and conventional tempe chips was determined based on the critical parameter of free fatty acid content. The shelf life of tapioca tempe chips that packaged in standing pouch aluminum foil at temperatures of 27 and 30 oC was 71 and 69 days respectively. The shelf life of conventional tempe chips that packaged in standing pouch aluminum foil at a temperature of 27 and 30 oC for 68 and 66 days respectively

Judul: Dynamical System of Hepatitis B in Three Groups with Vaccination
Abstrak: The aim of this study is to modify the hepatitis B transmission model in three age groups involving vaccination from the model conducted by Zhoe and Zhang.The method used is to analyze the stability of the fixed point and its basic reproduction number (R_0). Performed stability analysis and numerical simulation to see population dynamics. Next, a sensitivity analysis of the parameters was carried out to see its effect on R_0. From the analysis obtained two fixed points, namely non-endemic and endemic fixed points. Non-endemic fixed points are locally asymptotically stable if R_0 <1 Meanwhile, the endemic fixed point is locally asymptotically stable if R_0 > 1. Hepatitis vaccination affects the number of susceptible population, because the more successful the vaccination, the smaller the number of susceptible populations so that the smaller the population will be infected.
