Business Owner’s Expertise and Business Performance of the Finalists of the Young Entrepreneurs Competition and the Role of Employee Skills Training as a Moderating Variable

The problem of unemployment is still a crucial issue in Indonesia. Lack of jobs that exist today is the main reason of the increasing unemployment in this country. This condition can be reduced if all job seekers try to create jobs rather than looking for a job. Entrepreneurship is an attractive option, but the presence of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in December 2016 is also a challenge for businesses in Indonesia. Competition does not only occur among domestic businesses, but also businesses throughout ASEAN. Enactment of AEC decreases the chance of SMEs to survive.

The sample collection is done by giving questionnaires to 31 finalists of the competition. This study uses Partial Least Square as statistical tool. The results of this study show the existence of significant relationship and direct influence of business owners’ expertise on business performance. The significant results are also obtained with moderating effect of employee skills training on the relationship between the business owners’ expertise and business performance.     Keywords: business owners’ expertise, business performance, employee skills trainin

EVALUASI DAMPAK PENGUKUSAN TERHADAP KANDUNGAN ASAM LEMAK JENUH DAN TAK JENUH SOSIS JAMUR TIRAM

Sosis jamur tiram merupakan produk emulsi minyak dalam air (oil in water atau o/w). Produk pangan olahan jamur tiram (Pleurotus ostreatus) ini memiliki kandungan protein yang tinggi, namun bahan baku produk ini memiliki kandungan lemak yang rendah. Dalam produk emulsi, kandungan minyak, air, dan pengemulsi harus seimbang agar terbentuk sistem emulsi yang stabil sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui jumlah penambahan minyak nabati terbaik secara fisik dan organoleptik.Minyak nabati yang ditambahkan dalam pembuatan sosis jamur tiram dan telah melewati proses pengukusan bisa mengalami perubahan kandungan asam lemak. Oleh karena itu, perlu diketahui derajat ketidakjenuhan asam lemaknya dan mempelajari komposisi asam lemak sosis jamur tiram dengan derajat kejenuhan tertinggi (bilangan iod terendah) sehingga dapat diketahui efeknya bagi kesehatan. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 2 tahap penelitian. Penelitian tahap I untuk mengetahui jumlah penambahan minyak terbaik. Penelitian tahap II untuk mengetahui derajat kejenuhan asam lemak dan mengetahui komposisi asam lemak sosis jamur tiram yang mengandung asam lemak jenuh tertinggi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam tahap II, yakni Rancangan Acak Lengkap pola faktorial yang terdiri dari 2 faktor,yakni jenis minyak nabati (minyak goreng curah, minyak kelapa sawit, dan minyak kedelai) dan lama pengukusan(30 menit, 45 menit, dan 60 menit) dengan 3 kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian tahap I menunjukkan bahwa sosis jamur tiram dengan penambahan jumlah minyak 44% (b/b) memiliki aroma (5,05/agak suka), warna (5,62/suka), dan rasa (5,57/suka) serta stabilitas emulsi terbaik (80%). Hasil penelitian tahap II menunjukkan bahwa interaksi antara perlakuan jenis minyak dan lama pengukusan memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap derajat kejenuhan asam lemak sosis jamur tiram.Sosis jamur tiram dengan penambahan minyak goreng curah dan mengalami pengukusan selama 60 menitmerupakan sosis dengan bilangan iod terendah atau memiliki derajat ketidakjenuhan terendah. Kandungan asam lemak tak jenuh sosis tersebut sebesar 49,208%, sedangkan kandungan asam lemak jenuh sebesar 50,694% dan kandungan asam lemak trans sebesar 0,515%. Sosis jamur tiram dengan bilangan iod terendah ini masih memenuhi standar angka referensi diet (DRV) untuk asam lemak sehingga masih baik untuk dikonsumsi. Kata Kunci: Asam lemak jenuh, asam lemak tak jenuh, sosis jamur tiram, pengukusa
