Pengaruh Suhu dan Waktu Pemanasan terhadap Kandungan Vitamin A dan C pada Proses Pembuatan Pasta Tomat

Buah tomat (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) termasuk sayuran buah yang banyak disukai karena rasanya enak dan segar. Kualitas tomat dapat ditinjau dari rasa manis, asam, kekenyalan, dan jumlah air buah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari hubungan suhu dan waktu pemanasan terhadap kadar vitamin A dan C dan untuk mengetahui suhu pemanasan yang optimum serta mempelajari kinetika degradasi termal pada pembuatan pasta tomat. Metode penelitian ini sebagai berikut mula-mula tomat yang sudah diblender dipanaskan dengan suhu tertentu, tiap selang waktu tertentu sampel diambil untuk dianalisis kadar vitamin C, A dan kadar padatan terlarut. Selain itu juga dianalisis konsentrasi vitamin C dalam tomat. Analisis ini dilakukan dengan beberapa metode antara lain titrasi iodometri, dan analisis dengan spektrofotometer. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa: 1. semakin lama waktu pemanasan kadar padatan terlarut dalam pasta tomat semakin besar sehingga dan nilai kadar tersebut sesuai dengan SNI 01-3546-2004 yaitu minimum 24%. Untuk pengaruh suhu pemanasan yang semakin tinggi maka penurunan kadar vitamin C semakin besar, dan juga penurunan kadar vitamin A semakin besar akibat terdegradasi oleh panas; 2. reaksi degradasi termal vitamin C dalam pasta tomat mengikuti reaksi orde satu, sehingga diperoleh nilai ko dan E untuk reaksi tersebut adalah ko=0,6126 menit -1dan E=3.292,08 cal/mol

Combinatorial hydrogel library enables identification of materials that mitigate the foreign body response in primates

The foreign body response is an immune-mediated reaction that can lead to the failure of implanted medical devices and discomfort for the recipient. There is a critical need for biomaterials that overcome this key challenge in the development of medical devices. Here we use a combinatorial approach for covalent chemical modification to generate a large library of variants of one of the most widely used hydrogel biomaterials, alginate. We evaluated the materials in vivo and identified three triazole-containing analogs that substantially reduce foreign body reactions in both rodents and, for at least 6 months, in non-human primates. The distribution of the triazole modification creates a unique hydrogel surface that inhibits recognition by macrophages and fibrous deposition. In addition to the utility of the compounds reported here, our approach may enable the discovery of other materials that mitigate the foreign body response.Leona M. and Harry B.

Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ):Rationale and Study Design of the Largest Global Prospective Cohort Study of Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

This article describes the rationale, aims, and methodology of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ). This is the largest international collaboration to date that will develop algorithms to predict trajectories and outcomes of individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis and to advance the development and use of novel pharmacological interventions for CHR individuals. We present a description of the participating research networks and the data processing analysis and coordination center, their processes for data harmonization across 43 sites from 13 participating countries (recruitment across North America, Australia, Europe, Asia, and South America), data flow and quality assessment processes, data analyses, and the transfer of data to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Data Archive (NDA) for use by the research community. In an expected sample of approximately 2000 CHR individuals and 640 matched healthy controls, AMP SCZ will collect clinical, environmental, and cognitive data along with multimodal biomarkers, including neuroimaging, electrophysiology, fluid biospecimens, speech and facial expression samples, novel measures derived from digital health technologies including smartphone-based daily surveys, and passive sensing as well as actigraphy. The study will investigate a range of clinical outcomes over a 2-year period, including transition to psychosis, remission or persistence of CHR status, attenuated positive symptoms, persistent negative symptoms, mood and anxiety symptoms, and psychosocial functioning. The global reach of AMP SCZ and its harmonized innovative methods promise to catalyze the development of new treatments to address critical unmet clinical and public health needs in CHR individuals.</p

Observation of WWWWWW Production in pppp Collisions at s\sqrt s =13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

International audienceThis Letter reports the observation of $WWW$ production and a measurement of its cross section using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two same-sign leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two jets, as well as events with three charged leptons, are selected. A multivariate technique is then used to discriminate between signal and background events. Events from $WWW$ production are observed with a significance of 8.0 standard deviations, where the expectation is 5.4 standard deviations. The inclusive $WWW$ production cross section is measured to be $820 \pm 100\,\text{(stat)} \pm 80\,\text{(syst)}$ fb, approximately 2.6 standard deviations from the predicted cross section of $511 \pm 18$ fb calculated at next-to-leading-order QCD and leading-order electroweak accuracy
