Hedonic test and chemical organoleptic and chemical characteristics of cork and toman fish emping

Local fish species from the waters of South Kalimantan that are a source of protein and high in albumin are cork fish and toman fish. In an effort to increase the value added and consumption of both fish, it is necessary to diversify the product, for example by processing them into fish emping. Emping is a type of round and thin snack generally made from melinjo seeds, which are flaked, dried and then fried.  The aim of this study was to determine the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of cork and toman fish emping. This study consisted of 2 treatments, namely the cork fish puff and the toman fish puff. To determine the difference between the two treatments, data analysis was carried out using independent t-test with test parameters including yield calculation, hedonic test (taste, colour, aroma and texture) and chemical test (water, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, fibre, energy, TKE and TKP). Based on the results of the t-test, it is known that the organoleptic characteristics of the two empings show a significant difference, with the cork emping being more favourable than the toman emping. The chemical characteristics did not show any significant difference. In conclusion, the yield characteristics, moisture content, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, fibre, energy, energy sufficiency level (TKE) and protein sufficiency level (TKP) of cork fish cake were 4.07%, 66.66%, 2.67%, 7.22%, 0.95%, 319.52 kcal, 20.97% and 202.00% respectively with a yield of 10.10%. For toman, the values were 19.29%, 4.31%, 66.89%, 2.55%, 6.96%, 1.02%, 318.37 kcal, 20.54% and 202.69% with a yield of 10.83%. Thus, both cork and toman fish cake are high protein products

Efek Antiplasmodium Ekstrak Kulit Batang Asam Kandis (Garcinia Parvifolia Miq) Yang Diberikan Secara Intraperitoneal Pada Mencit Yang Diinfeksi Dengan Plasmodium Yoelii

This study is trying to assess the effect of the stem bark extract of Garcinia parvifolia Miq on Plasmodium yoelii infected mice. Thirty mice, all male, were inoculated by Plasmodium yoelii.  They were randomly allocated into 6 groups of 5 mice and each  group was treated with G. parvifolia¢s extract of 100 mg/kgBW/day, 300 mg/kgBW/day, 500 mg/kgBW/day and 1000 mg/kgBW/day respectively.  Each groups was treated for the periode of 4 days after inoculation of P. yoelii.  The degree of parasitemia were examined daily using thin blood smears up to 4 days from the inoculation and were analyzed by log-probit method. The results showed that the ethanol extract displayed ED50 value less than 100 mg/kgBB/day

Distribusi Parasit Usus Protozoa di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara Kalimantan Selatan

The intestinal infection disease caused by protozoa: amoeba is one of the public health problem with high incidence in the community. From the research activity conducted in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency in the year 2002, to obtain of prevalence of protozoa infection from stool examination from resident in 6 villages at 3 subdistrict in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency. The research has conducted to be carry out survey parasite to the community. Sample size will be examination are 230 persons per village, so that to 6 villages will be examed as 1.600 persons. The examination directly by using lugol 2% and checked on the microscope with magnification 10x10 and 10x40. For resident which its sample stool is positive the protozoa to be given a treatment by metronidazol. From stool examination result obtained prevalence resident which are positive the amoeba intestine protozoa is Entamoeba coli 19,8%, Endolimax nana 15,8%, and Entamoeba histolityca 15,4%. While prevalence resident which are positive the intestine flagellata/B. hominis is Blastocystis hominis 25,5% and Giardia lamblia 11,6%. From 5 micro-organism on the intestine. Entamoeba histolityca, Blastocystis hominis and Giardia lamblia are cause diarrhoea because having the pathogenic. From survey ot socio-cultural, known also the resident percentage which drinking no safe water 43,3%, source of drinking water obtained from river or swamp is 67,7%, human waste disposal in river and swamp is 79,5%, and take a bath and brush the teeth with water of river and swamp is 78,6%; showing bad condition of environmental sanitation, personal hygiene, and life behavior. Good personal hygiene and environmental sanitation practices are the major factors of this disease prevention. The main principle to prevent the spreading of protozoa infection is to cut off the link of infection sources to human beings. Personal hygiene is focused on the management of individual behaviour, meanwhile environmental sanitation prevention focus lies on the better environment management to cut off the link of disease cycle as like water supply and human waste disposal wich good condition. For this matter is Governmental role, in this case the health office and with local elite figure, important and absolute so that to a period to coming of prevalence intestine infection caused a protozoa can be depressed as low as possible

PENGARUH KITOSAN DARI KOMPOSIT CANGKANG KEONG SAWAH (Pila ampullacea) DAN KERANG DARAH (Anadara granosa) SEBAGAI BIOKOAGULAN DALAM MENURUNKAN KADAR KROMIUM DAN TDS PADA LIMBAH CAIR BATIK

Limbah cair batik menjadi salah satu masalah di lingkungan khususnya di perairan sungai. Banyak industri batik yang relatif masih lemah dalam hal penanganan limbahnya. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Kitosan dari kombinasi Cangkang Keong Sawah (Pila ampullacea) dan Cangkang Kerang Darah (Anadara granosa) sebagai Biokoagulan dalam menurunkan kadar logam Kromium dan TDS pada limbah cair batik.Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 1 kontrol P0 dan 3 perlakuan larutan Kitosan dengan perbedaan dosis yaitu : P1(150mg/25ml), P2 (200mg/25ml), dan P3 (250mg/25ml). Masing-masing perlakuan diulangi sebanyak 3 kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kitosan berbahan dasar komposit Cangkang Keong Sawah dan Kerang Darah mampu memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda nyata dalam menurunkan kadar Kromium dan TDS pada limbah cair batik. Perlakuan Kitosan terbaik berdasarkan Uji Jarak Ganda Duncan untuk menurunkan kadar Kromium adalah P1(150mg/25ml) dan untuk kadar TDS adalah P3 (250mg/25ml)

Analisis Kepuasan Pengunjung Menggunakan Second Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis Pada Structural Equation Modeling (Studi Kasus: Pengunjung Pemandian Air Panas (Pap) Guci)

Pemandian Air Panas (PAP) Guci is one of the famous natural destinations in Tegal regency. The visitors are fluctuated. Therefore, the writer carried out an analysis of visitor satisfaction using Stuctural Equation Modeling (SEM). Confirmatory factor analysis using in the reseach is second order. The construct used are the service quality (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, insurance, and empathy), product quality (facilities, accessibility, source human and hygiene), price (affordability, suitability, and price comparisons), visitor satisfaction (overall satisfaction, satisfaction as expected, and the employee), and the interest reset. Choosing variables based on justification theory. Significant parameters, namely the quality service to the quality products by 50,8%, the quality product to the prices by 89%, the price to the visitor satisfaction of 91,4%, visitor satisfaction to the interest reset of 55%. Parameters were not significant, envelop service quality to price, quality service to visitor satisfaction, and quality product to visitor satisfaction
