Sosialization of Chitosan as Natural Preservation for Palm Tree’s (Arenga pinnata Merr.) Sap in Akelamo, Central Oba
Palm tree’s (Arenga pinnata Merr.) sap is the main ingredient for palm sugar. Palm tree’s sap is obtained by tapping the male flowers of palm tree. The sap is rich in sugar thus it is easy to be fermented. Palm farmers in Akelamo Village use soap as a preservation agent to prevent fermentation during the taping and loading period before the sap is cooked. Soap is a non-food product which is unsafe to be used in food product. Based on this fact, the community service program was designed to educate and share information about the danger of non-food preservation agent in food product, and also introduce chitosan as potential natural preservation to prevent fermentation process on palm tree’s sap among the palm farmers in Akelamo Village. There were four activities that had been done, such as discourse about food preservation and chitosan as natural preservation agent, workshop about how to apply chitosan to prevent fermentation during palm tree tapping, workshop about how to make palm sugar, and interactive dialogue with palm farmers. All the activities were done succesfully. The farmers were actively participated in every activity during the program
Mini Review: Hypocholesterolemic Potential of Unsaponifiable Matter from Palm Fatty Acid Distillate
Palm fruit as raw material of palm oil is the main commodity of Indonesian agriculture. Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) is a by-product of palm oil refinery process in deodorization stage. PFAD contained bioactive compounds such as vitamin E, phytosterols, and squalene. Vitamin E, phytosterols, and squalene have knows for its hypocholesterolemic effect and cardio protector. Bioactive compounds of PFAD can be separated from its fatty acid using saponification reaction. Saponification of PFAD produced unsaponifiable matter (USM) which was rich in bioactive compounds. Food fortification is aimed to enhance the nutrition quality of food for specific reason. The fortificant can be macronutrient or micronutrient. USM of PFAD potentially become food product fortificant which will give hypocholesterolemic effect. This review is discussed about hypocholesterolemic effect of each bioactive compounds in USM of PFAD and the potential of USM as food fortificant espsecially for food with hypocholesterolemic effect
User Interface and User Experience Analysis of Kejar Mimpi Mobile Application Using The User-Centered Design Method
User criticism on the Play Store revealed some flaws in the Kejar Mimpi App review. Observations were made on research that discussed the Kejar Mimpi Application, and it discovered that no prior research on User Experience and User Interface had been conducted. Interviews will be conducted to collect additional data, and the initial questionnaire will be distributed on May 6, 2022. Developers and designers use User-Centered Design (UCD) design methodologies to ensure that the product or system meets the users' needs. This study used the System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) methods or techniques to assess user interface and user experience. This research has produced as many as 24 design recommendations and a style guide. The final evaluation results measured using the SUS questionnaire increased the average value by 14,9% from a value of 67 (adjective rating Ok category, grade scale D, High Marginal category) to 77 (adjective rating Good, grade scale C, Acceptable category). The results of the UEQ also have gained an average increase in the ratio, where previously most were in below-average positions, now in good positions. Research on the user interfaces analysis and user experience of the Kejar Mimpi Application has the potential to be developed further. Therefore, the author has several suggestions that can be used for further research so that prototype part can be developed again to be more responsive and use different methods for evaluation of design results, such as Eye Tracking, Cognitive Walkthrough, and Heuristic Evaluation.User criticism on the Play Store revealed some flaws in the Kejar Mimpi App review.

Daun tumbuhan hijau juga berpotensi menjadi bahan baku nori tiruan. Bahan baku yang berbeda menyebabkan adanya perbedaan cara pembuatan nori tiruan. Kajian pustaka ini membahas jenis-jenis rumput laut dan daun tumbuh-tumbuhan yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku nori tiruan serta metode pembuatan nori tiruan.Kata kunci: nori tiruan, rumput laut, metode pengeringa
Analisis pertumbuhan alga merah (Ptilophora pinnatifida) yang di budidaya pada skala laboratorium
Ptilophora pinnatifida termasuk dalam genus alga merah yang tersebar di Indo-Pasifik Barat, terutama dihabitat subtidal pada kedalaman lebih dari 100 meter. Genus ini jarang ditemui, 3 dari 14 spesies yang telah dikenali hanya dapat dikumpulkan dari arus atau aliran air. Spesies Ptilophora umumnya berasal dari perairan beriklim sedang (hanya 2 spesies yang diketahui berasal dari perairan beriklim tropis) dan secara biogeografis area penyebarannya masih terbatas. Laju pertumbuhan rumput laut umumnya mengalami peningkatan pesat pada periode tertentu tergantung pada umur tanaman tersebut dan setelah mencapai puncak, laju pertumbuhan akan menurun. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pertumbuhan harian dan pertumbuhan spefifik alga merah (Ptilophora pinnatifida). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan rumput laut Ptilophora pinnatifida yang dibudidaya pada bak selama 10 minggu (70 hari) mencapai rata-rata berat 3 gr dan panjang 1,138 cm. Hasil analisis laju pertumbuhan spesifik menunjukkan pada umur 43-57 hari terjadi pertumbuhan rumput laut yang pesat, yaitu 1,63%.Kata Kunci: rumput laut; Ptilophora pinnatifida; pertumbuhan; budidaya skala laboratoriu

Salah satu hasil samping pemurnian minyak sawit adalah distilat asam lemak
minyak sawit (DALMS). DALMS memiliki kandungan bioaktif berupa vitamin E,
fitosterol dan skualen yang berpotensi memiliki efek hipokolesterolemik apabila
dikonsumsi. Saponifikasi pada DALMS akan menghasilkan fraksi tidak tersabunkan
(FTT) yang kaya akan vitamin E, fitosterol dan skualen. Mi instan, roti tawar dan
biskuit merupakan produk pangan pengganti nasi yang jumlah konsumsinya terus
meningkat setiap tahunnya. Fortifikasi FTT DALMS pada produk pangan tersebut
dapat menjadi alternatif pangan yang memiliki efek hiperkolesterolemia. Penelitian
ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh mi instan, roti tawar dan biskuit yang
difortifikasi 1% FTT DALMS terhadap profil lipid, kadar kolesterol feses dan hati,
kadar asam empedu feses dan hati, serta gambaran histopatologi dan ketebalan
intima media aorta tikus hiperkolesterolemia.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental laboratorium dengan
rancangan percobaan tersarang (Nested Design) dengan 2 faktor (kelompok
perlakuan dan waktu pengambilan sampel darah) dan 5 ulangan serta metode
Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) untuk pengelompokan obyek penelitian.
Kandungan bioaktif dianalisa menggunakan HPLC dan GC-MS. Analisa profil lipid
darah menggunakan metode enzimatis. Analisa kadar kolesterol feses dan hati
menggunakan metode Liebermann-Buchards. Analisa kadar asam empedu
menggunakan metode enzimatis dengan bile acid assay kit. Dilakukan pewarnaan
H&E pada aorta tikus dan pengukuran ketebalan intima media aorta dilakukan pada
empat sisi yang berbeda. Analisa data menggunakan analisa ragam (ANOVA) dan
uji lanjut DMRT.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan biskuit memiliki kadar vitamin E (409,53 ppm)
dan fitosterol (51.558,89 ppm) tertinggi dibandingkan dengan roti tawar dan mi
instan. Kadar skualen (1.935,44 ppm) tertinggi ada pada mi instan. Kadar total
kolesterol turun 48,45%, trigliserida turun 40,90%, LDL turun 57,64%, dan HDL naik
186,76% pada kelompok tikus hiperkolesterolemia yang diberi pakan roti tawar
fortifikasi 1% FTT. Kelompok tersebut juga memiliki kadar kolesterol feses (55,58
mg/100g) tertinggi, kolesterol hati (34,20 mg/100g) terendah, asam empedu feses
(35,94 μM/100g bw) tertinggi dan asam empedu hati (39,07 μM/100g bw) tertinggi
dibandingkan dengan kelompok tikus hiperkolesterolemia yang lain. Gambaran
histopatologi aorta tikus hiperkolesterolemia yang diberi pakan mi instan, roti tawar
dan biskuit yang difortifikasi 1% FTT DALMS memiliki gambaran aorta yang
menyerupai kelompok tikus normal. Ketebalan intima media aorta tidak berbeda
nyata antara tikus normal dan tikus hiperkolesterolemia kontrol. Pemberian diet
