Isolates of Gliocladium KE gaves the largest degradation of starch on PDA-Starch medium (clear zone), and followed by isolates of Aspergillus GA; 2) Production of glucoamylase on sago hampas with modificated Danial medium (1992) gave the highest activity of Gliocladium KE  on the fifth day of incubation, namely: 10.72 U / mL of crude enzyme  from the supernatant of fermentation substrate (S), and 17.16 U / mL for crude enzyme from the extract of isopropanol isolation (E)
Statistic Correlation Technique, MEMCDM Non-Numerical and Fuzzy System for Collaboration Determining of Dominant Factors of National Palm Oil Stock
Palm oil is the strategic commodities of the world and domestic of Indonesia. Indonesia is the biggest exporter of palm oil since 2006. As the biggest exporter, Indonesia can not be a price maker in international market. Besides Indonesia palm oil factory can not absorb all of crude palm oil production. This condition can disturbed to domestic crude palm oil stock and national foreign exchange or dollar when crude palm oil export decline. Therefor finding dominant factors of detect variable of stock problems are very important. The dominant factors is found by literature study then be equipped by historical data of annual periods. Statistical Pearson correlation and multi-pexpert multi-criteria decision making (MEMCDM) non-numerical are used to test and to verify correlation the dominant factors of national crude palm oil stock, and then fuzzy system is used to judge the dominant factors. Keywords: Pearson correlation statistic, multi-criteria decision making non-numerical, fuzzy syste

The Heat Resistant Capabilities of Bioplastic Composites on Sago Hampas Starch-Al2O3
Sago hampas are a waste with a high starch content. The starch from sago hampas can be used as a raw material for bioplastics. However, because bioplastics have a lower heat resistance than conventional plastics, additives are required to increase heat resistance. Aluminum oxide can be used as a metal compound that acts as an additive to increase heat resistance. Bioplastics were created using a weight percentage of 0, 1, 3, and 5% Al2O3. DTA was used to determine the melting point of bioplastics, as well as their mechanical properties, density, and water resistance. The best results were identified using FTIR and SEM. The results showed that adding Al2O3 at 1, 3, and 5% increased the heat resistance of bioplastics with melting points of 270, 274, and 280 oC. Except for mechanical properties, the best results were obtained with a melting point of 280 oC, tensile strength of 3.41 Mpa, elongation of 38.66%, density of 5.52 g cm-3, and 80.28% water resistance for bioplastics with 5% Al2O3 that suitable on Indonesian National Standard 7188.7:2016. The FTIR analysis revealed that bioplastics containing Al2O3 experienced physical interactions. Morphological analysis revealed that Al2O3 was evenly distributed on the bioplastic's surface
STABILITAS EDIBLE FILM PATI SAGU (METROXYLON SAGU ROTTB.) ASETAT SELAMA PENYIMPANAN PADA BERBAGAI SUHU
The degree of stability of starch-based edible films during storage varies greatly compared to synthetic films. This work aimed to study the effect of storage temperatures on the stability of sago starch acetate edible film during storage. Edible films produced by casting and storage at 5, 30 and 40 oC temperatures for 34 days. The observed characteristics were crystallinity, contact angle, physical, mechanical and barrier (WVTR) film properties. Sago starch acetate edible films presented lower relative crystallinity (10,10%) and highest contact angle (51,04o) when compared with native starch edible films. The results indicated that sago starch acetate edible films were relatively stable when stored at low (5 oC) and high (30 and 40 oC) temperatures. Storage temperatures did not affect physical properties (solubility, transparency) and mechanical (elongation at break / EAB) of sago starch acetate edible films except tensile strength (TS) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). TS values ​​increased at temperatures 30 and 40 oC and WVTR values ​​increased at temperature 30 oC. Changes in physical and mechanical properties occur at the beginning of storage, but then tend to be stable until the end of storage. Sago starch acetate edible films had low physical and mechanical characteristics, that was TS (2.25–4.90 MPa), elongation at break (29.65–89.62%), solubility (15.01–29.61%), transparency (0.91–1.87) and very low WVTR value (0.07–0.33 g/m2.hour) and Ea (-8.6E-04 kJ/mol). Sago starch acetate edible films had good physical and mechanical properties and resistant to moisture, can be used for applications as edible films and coatings for foods that contain high water content.
