Detoxification of 1,2-dihydroxy- 4-allylbenzene, a major phenolic compound in Piper betle, through glucuronidation using S9 protein of rat liver (Sprague Dawley)
1,2-dihydroxy- 4-allylbenzene (DHAB) is a major compound in Piper betle leaf and also a metabolite of safrole metabolism. Epidemilogic studies showed people who have betel quid chewing habit are related to the incidence of oral submucous fibrosis and/or tumor formation. The aims of this research was to study the detoxification through the glucuronidation of DHAB using S9 protein of male rat liver (Sprague Dawley) and a co-factor of uridin 5′-diphosphoglucuronide acid (UDPGA). The results showed that glucuronidation of DHAB using S9 protein of rat liver resulted two isomers of glucuronide metabolites due to the availibility of two active hydroxyl groups that one of them can bind glucuronide but not two of hydroxyl at the same time
IDENTIFIKASI MIKROBIA PADA FERMENTASI BIJI KOPI ARABIKA (Coffea arabica Linn)
Mucilage in coffee bean should be removed because it inhibits coffee bean drying. One way of removing mucilage is by fermentation. Microbes presented naturally during coffee fermentation can utilize organic substances in coffee bean and produces mucilage. During fermentation, pectin, the main component in mucilage, can be hydrolyzed by pectinolytic microorganism. The aim of this research is to identify the microbes involved during coffee fermentation. The fermentation was done in laboratory with 2 replications, and samples were analyzed for identifying the type of microorganisms. The analysis showed that the microbes found during Arabica coffee fermentation were bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and fungus. Kinds of bacteria group were Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Enterobacteriae and Moraxella. Type of the Lactic acid bacteria were Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Group of yeast were Zygoascus Hellenicus, Candida halonitratophila, and Torulaspora delbrueckii. Fungi group were Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium janthinellum, Aspegillus niger, Verticillium glaucum, Verticillium terrestre and Acremonium vitis. Bacillus sp and Enterobacteriaceae have an important role in pectin degradation. Possibly the fungus do not have roles in coffee fermentation since they grow at surface part during fermentation.

Leclercia adecarboxylata C12, The Newly Isolated Cellulose-degrading Bacteria from Indonesian Coffee Pulp
Culturable cellulose-degrading microorganisms were collected from Arabica coffee pulp in East Java, Indonesia. Fifty isolates were obtained, and thirty-three isolates showed hydrolyzing zone on Carboxy Methyl Cellulose agar plates after Congo-Red staining. The highest specific CMCase activity was observed by isolates C12, identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata based on 16S-rRNA gene sequence analysis. SDS-PAGE of Leclercia adecarboxylata C12 cellulase revealed two bands with a molecular mass of 95.49 and 81.28 kDa, respectively. Activity gel analysis showed the cellulolytic ability of Leclercia adecarboxylata C12 cellulase by clear zone formation. The optimal CMCase activity was achieved at 50°C and pH 9, and the activity retained 47% of its initial activity after incubation at 50°C for 90 minutes. The purified enzyme remains stable from pH 5 to 10, with 77% of its maximum activity. The activity of CMCase was stimulated by the presence of K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe3+, while SDS and EDTA reduced its activity. The current study shows that the thermostable-alkalophilic cellulase produced by Leclercia adecarboxylata C12 is very promising for industrial applications

PROFIL GLISERIDA, DAN KANDUNGAN EPA (EICOSAPENTAENOAT) DAN DHA (DOCOSAHEKSAENOAT) HASIL HIDROLISIS MINYAK HATI IKAN COD OLEH LIPASE TERAMOBIL DARI MUCOR MIEHEI
ABSTRACT
Hydrolysis of cod liver oil by immobilized lipase from Mucor miehei was studied to observe the hydrolysis level, glycerides profile and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) contents in the form of glycerides and free fatty acid on various hydrolysis temperatures.
Enzymatic hydrolysis of cod liver oil was carried out in a waterbath shaker at temperatures ranging from 30-60°C for 48 hours.
Up to 12 hours reaction time, higher temperature gave higher hydrolysis level. Reaction time longer than 12 hours did not improve level of hydrolysis and all of them beyond 67%. This result indicated that there was possibility of acyl migration during hydrolysis. Though the hydrolysis level was high, after 48 hours reaction, EPA and DHA contents in the form of free fatty acid were low

Optimasi Proporsi Tepung Kelapa dan Waktu Proofing Terhadap Karakteristik Fisik Roti Tawar Menggunakan Metode RSM (Response Surface Methodology)
Produksi kelapa yang besar tidak diimbangi dengan pemanfaatan kelapa
yang baik. Pembuatan roti tawar membutuhkan tepung terigu yang masih
diimpor. Salah satu upaya pemanfaatan kelapa adalah dengan mensubstitusikan
tepung kelapa dalam pembuatan roti tawar. Selain dapat menurunkan
persentase penggunaan terigu, hal ini juga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan
kadar serat dalam produk roti. Namun, penambahan tepung kelapa pada
pembuatan roti tawar menyebabkan kemunduran pada daya kembang roti. Oleh
karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk optimasi proporsi tepung kelapa dan
waktu proofing untuk mendapatkan roti tawar dengan karakteristik fisik memiliki
volume spesifik yang baik.
Rancangan penelitian menggunakan Response Surface Methodology
(RSM) Central Composite Design (CCD), dengan faktor jumlah proporsi tepung
kelapa:tepung terigu (gram) dan waktu proofing (menit). Respon yang diamati
adalah berat roti dan volume roti. Roti hasil optimasi dilakukan karakterisasi
volume spesifik (cm3/gram), porositas (mm2), dan brownnes index (BI) dan
dibandingkan dengan roti tawar roti kontrol yang tanpa dilakukan penambahan
dengan tepung kelapa.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan titik optimal proporsi tepung kelapa:tepung
terigu dan waktu proofing pada pembuatan roti tawar yaitu kombinasi proporsi
tepung kelapa 3 g dengan waktu proofing 100,823 menit. Karakteristik fisik roti
tawar yang dihasilkan pada perlakuan optimal yaitu berat roti 326,82 gram;
volume roti 1351,67 cm3; volume spesifik roti 4,13 cm3/g; nilai porositas 4,54; dan
brownness index (BI) 34,94. Roti perlakuan optimal dibandingkan dengan roti
kontrol menggunakan uji T (p<5%) didapatkan hasil porositas roti perlakuan
optimal (p=0,024) memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap roti kontrol,
sedangkan volume spesifik (p=0,093) dan nilai brownness index (p=0,318) roti
perlakuan optimal tidak memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap roti kontro
Hasil Cek Similiritas Cyanogenic compounds removal and characteristics of non- and pregelatinized traditional detoxified wild yam (Dioscorea hispida) tuber flour
The presence of cyanide compounds restricts the utilization of wild yam (Dioscorea hispida) tubers for food or food ingredients. Traditional detoxification, usually used in wild yam chips processing, has not been evaluated for its effectiveness in reducing cyanogenic compounds. Processing into flour will increase wild yam tubers utilization and pregelatinization usually improve flour functional properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 4 traditional detoxification methods and pregelatinization
on cyanogenic compounds removal and wild yam tuber flour characteristics. The different methods were in rubbing ash, soaking
time, and pregelatinization methods by boiling or steaming. The duration of a particular step was also different. The results showed that traditional detoxification methods reduced total cyanides 97%, cyanogenic glycosides 98-100%, acetone cyanohydrin 89-97%, and HCN 94-95%; also affected degree of cyanogenic compounds removal. Pregelatinization also reinforced the degree of cyanogen removal. Tuber flour physicochemical properties were affected by detoxification methods and regelatinization. Modification of starch might occur due to the presence of SiO2 and calcium in rubbing ash and affected functional properties of wild yam tuber flour. Starch granule morphology appeared not to be affected by detoxification methods. Traditional detoxification
methods could be used to make a safe wild yam tuber flour
