Judul: Analisis Proses Sertifikasi Halal dan Kajian Ilmiah Alkohol sebagai Substansi dalam Khamr di Lembaga Pengkajian Pangan, Obat-Obatan, dan Kosmetika Majelis Ulama Indonesia (LPPOM MUI)
Abstrak: Halal aspect is being developed today which are showed by the advancement of halal certification process, especially in Indonesia, and scientific study based on Islamic literature. The analysis of halal certification process is done based on product criterias and stages of halal certification process. In addition, scientific study about alcohol as a substance in khamr based on Hadis Rasulullah is done by analysis of simulated five successive days fermentation of fruit juice (nabidh). The results for analysis of halal certification process show that there are influence of product criteria and stages againts time (days) of certification process which are continue with Duncan method as further test. Average of certification time (days) which is appropriate with the target by LPPOM MUI is only in criteria low risk (LR) and risk (R). Average of certification time also show the longest and the shorthest time of the stages. On the other side, research of scientific study gives several compounds were detected in five succesive days fermentation of three fruit juices (nabidh), such as fructose, glucose, sucrose, ethanol, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, and acetic acid. The compound which has the strongest correlation and has the most significance with the time of fermentation is ethanol. Further more, the influence of the fermentation time againts ethanol concentration was gave in second day (grape juice), third day (date juice), and first day (apple juice). The fermentation patterns of ethanol in the three fruit juices (nabidh) are separate in two clusters that show the high similarities in level amounts 95.7563 and 99.7976. Mathematical model of fermentation also were done for sugar, ethanol, and acid of each fruit juice by dinamic system model. Ratio of sugar, ethanol, and acid fraction in three fruit juices have almost the same pattern.

Judul: Praktik Kerja Magang di Lembaga Pengkajian Pangan Obat-Obatan dan Kosmetika Majelis Ulama Indonesia (LPPOM MUI) dengan Topik Khusus : Kajian Ilmiah Istiĥālah (Transformasi ) Babi
Abstrak: The development of industry and food technology can not be avoided. The problem then arises when the products resulting from technological developments and the food industry is changing the food component that involves the halal status of food produced. Reviewing raw material is one of the LPPOM MUI strategy to protect the Muslim consumers. In Usl Fiqh, change can be identified as istiĥālah (transformation). Presently, it is not explicitly distinguished about changes including istiĥālah in the category criteria, limits, or a clear and measurable indicators. Therefore, scientific research is necessary to provide an explicit definition of the concept of istiĥālah. Changes that occur will be identified in terms of chemical, physical, molecular, and biochemical changes of components. This research will discuss about the change of pig collagen into gelatin refer to the change pattern of ethanol into acetic acid. There was descriptive research methode used, the non-experimental reseach when the object datas have been available. The datas are collected by studying the literatures and also by interviewing, discussing, and audiencing the experts. The result of ethanol into acetic acid changes are included molecular changes, physical changes, chemical changes, and biochemical changes. When the identified changes in transformation of collagen into gelatin are only include physical and chemical changes. It means the pattern of changes is different. The changes (istihalah) in food also can be classified info six models based on the halal-haram status of the raw materials, agents, and the 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.
