Karakteristik Kimia Minuman Sari Tempe-Jahe Dengan Penambahan Carboxy Methyl Cellulose dan Gom Arab pada Konsentrasi Yang Berbeda

Tempe dapat diolah menjadi produk  minuman dan dapat dicampurkan dengan bahan  lain, seperti jahe. Minuman sari tempe-jahe memiliki kandungan gizi yang cukup tinggi. Pembuatan minuman sari tempe-jahe memerlukan penambahan bahan penstabil untuk meningkatkan stabilitas dan viskositas produk. Bahan penstabil tersebut memiliki reaksi yang berbeda dengan bahan lainnya dan akan memberikan karakteristik kimia yang berbeda-beda pula pada minuman sari tempe-jahe, Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh penstabil (CMC dan gom arab) yang diberikan terhadap karakteristik kimia minuman sari tempe jahe. Perlakuan konsentrasi penstabil CMC dan gom arab yang diberikan pada penelitian yaitu sebesar 0%, 0,25% dan 0,5%. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa  CMC dan gom arab pada konsentrasi 0%, 0,25% dan 0,5% terhadap minuman sari tempe jahe memberikan pengaruh yang  berbeda nyata pada Sig. < 0.05 terhadap kadar protein (gom arab 0,5%) dan nilai pH (gom arab 0,5%), tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar abu dan kadar karbohidrat. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan menghasilkan mutu terbaik produk adalah penambahan gom arab pada konsentrasi 0,5%, dengan nilai kadar abu sebesar 0,41%, kadar protein sebesar 10,49%, kadar karbohidrat sebesar 3,44%, dan pH sebesar 6,83

PENGALIHAN KEWENANGAN ATAS HAK PENGUASAAN PERTAMBANGAN MINERAL DAN BATUBARA

The transfer of mining licenses with the birth of the work copyright law has shifted back to the central government. There are two issues studied, namely the main basis for the transfer of authority related to the control of mineral and coal mining and the impact of the Transfer of Authority related to the Control of Mineral and Coal Mining. The research method used is a juridical normative research method with a statute approach, data analysis using a descriptive method. The results of the research are aimed at reorganizing related to the regulation of authority affairs and improving the mechanism for granting mineral and coal mining business permits so that mine management is better in the future. In addition, the transfer of authority to issue permits is carried out to realize an efficient mining licensing system, but it cannot be denied that from the wide range of mining areas and the lack of authority possessed by the regional government as the 'host' party to supervise mineral and coal mining activities, it is not impossible. maybe this will actually have an impact on the non-intensive process of monitoring, fostering, and supervising mineral and coal mining activities

Impact of organophosphate exposure on farmers’ health in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta: Perspectives of physical, emotional and social health

Objective: The exposure of organophosphate could be caused by the absorption in some parts of the body like skin and breath. Toxicity may cause nausea, vomiting and dizziness which are not too specific related with the pesticide toxicity. The purpose of this study is to understand the association between organophosphate exposure and farmers’ health in Kulon Progo County from the perspectives of physical, emotional and social health. Methods: This study was conducted using descriptive observational design. The blood sample was collected during harvesting periods in 2016. The inclusion criterion of farmers was using organophosphate-contained pesticide during the planting period of red onion. The farmers who had renal disease, liver disease and cancer were excluded. The organophosphate exposure parameters were the duration and frequency of pesticide application, width of the area, serum cholinesterase activity and the completeness of personal protective equipment. Results: Among 84 farmers, most of them were male (85.7%), and the mean age was 49.1 (standard deviation: 12.5) years; 71.4% of the subjects experienced tremor, 17.86% experienced dizziness and 8.33% subjects experienced nausea–vomiting after pesticide application. According to the pesticide application, in average, subjects used pesticide 1.4 h/day with the area of 1.285 m 2 . The frequency of pesticide used is three times per week. Around 97.6% subjects used incomplete personal protective equipment. The average of serum cholinesterase activity in subjects with tremor is higher than subjects without tremor (p > 0.05). There is a significant association between serum cholinesterase activity and creatinine content (p < 0.05). The farmers’ quality-of-life domain scores are lower than the scores of the normal population in Yogyakarta. Conclusion: Organophosphate exposure may affect the farmers’ physical health and quality of life
