Judul: Masalah infestasi ektoparasit pada reptilia di Kebun Binatang Ragunan Jakarta
Abstrak: Untuk memahami permasalahan yang ada di Kebun Binatang Ragunan tentang infestasi ektoparasit ini, telah dilakukan pengamatan pada satwa reptilia yang terdapat di dalam tiga lokasi terarium Kebun Binatang Ragunan selama bulan Oktober 1984. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengamatan secara langsung dan pengambilan data sekunder, berupa data dari laporan yang ada dan wawancara. Jenis ektoparasit yang terdapat menginfestasi reftilia di Kebun Binatang Ragunan ada empat jenis caplak, yaitu Aponomna lucasi, Aponomma barbauri, Amblyonuna helvolum dan Amblyomma cordiferum, Hasil pengamatan terakhir ditemukan Aponomma lucasi dan Amblyomma helvolum. Permasalahan yang dihadapi akibat infestasi caplak ini secara tidak langsung adalah kematian dari satwa reрtilia, juga infestasi caplaknya sulit untuk diberantas secara total.

Judul: Eksplorasi Cacing Endoparasit Saluran Pencernaan Satwa di Kebun Binatang Semarang
Abstrak: Zoo is the place where some animal species collected together in artificial environment. Parasites exploration in zoo needs to be done to monitoring of parasites spreading in animals zoo collection. This study aimed to explore the gastrointestinal endoparasitic worms of wild captive animals in Semarang Zoo. The flotation and precipitation methods were used to detecting presence or absence the gastrointestinal endoparasite of worm eggs in fecal samples. In Semarang Zoo there were 17 species (54.84%) out of 31 wild captive animals were found to be infected by parasites. Seventen genera of endoparasitic worms were determined after identification. The most common endoparasitic worms found in Semarang Zoo were Nematodes, followed by Cestodes and Trematodes. Endoparasitic worms found in mammals were Nematodes (Ascaris sp., Toxocara sp., Ancylostoma sp., Bunostomum sp., Oesophagostomum sp., Haemonchus sp., Cooperia sp., Trichostrongylus sp., Trichuris sp., and Capillaria sp.), and Cestodes (Spirometra sp., Taenia sp., Hymenolepys sp., Diphyllobothrium sp.). Meanwhile, in aves Nematodes (Amidostomum sp., Capillaria sp.) and Trematodes (Alaria sp.) were determined. Whereas only Nematodes (Rhabdias sp.) were determined in reptiles. Capillaria was the only parasite found in mammals and aves.

Judul: Development of ready-to-drink white tea shot.
Abstrak: White tea leaf has been shown to possess physiological activities and has catechin which is the most abundant antioxidant compound found. This study was conducted to develop white tea shot formulated with white tea extract (WTE), ascorbic acid (AA), and sucrose (SC) in order to get high stability of catechin in the product. The first part of the study was conducted to choose best formula of white tea shot. The amount of water was set at 50 ml while WTE was set at 0.4% water basis. AA and SC amount were varied at 0.02, 0.05, 0.10% for AA and 3.0 and 6.0% for SC. The formula chosen was consists of 50 ml water, 0.4 % WTE, 0.10% AA, and 6.0% of SC. The decision was based on the rating hedonic test and short time storage catechin stability analysis of six formulation which the chosen formula revealed the least catechin lost and acceptable overall product likeness. The study also revealed that addition of AA is significant to lower catechin loss (P<0.05) while addition of SC did not reveal any effect (P>0.05). Physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristic was also observed in this study.
