Industrial waste-water has become a serious problem nationwide. However, one type of waste-water, i.e. tofu waste-water (whey), can be utilized as the source of nata de soya production. This present research is attempts to reveal the effect of various concentrations of inocula and green-bean extracts on nata productions from tofu waste-water. Ten combinations of treatment were applied and coded as A1 – A10. The parameters observed included physical and chemical characters of nata and nitrogen (N) contents. The results show that the increase in concentration of N and inocula will follow by the increase of water content, fiber content, plasticity, and N content of nata de soya produced. Highest thickness of nata was gained at 200 g/L concentration of green-bean extract and 100 ml/L concentration of inoculum.

Flakes are ready to eat cereal product in order to provide a high caloric needs for those who consume them. Utilization of ganyong into flakes is one alternative that increases the diversification of processed ganyong prospects in the community. In order to improve the nutritional quality of flakes, especially fiber, other ingredients are added for flakes. Variety of vegetables and rice brand’s is used as the main raw material of flakes. Variety of vegetables is broccoli, spinach and carrots and with the addition of vegetables can be seen the influence of increasing the nutritional value from the resulting flakes. This research used completely randomized design (CRD). The results obtained in this study of flakes product are have variations of water content 0.03-0.36%, ash 2.69-3:09%, protein 5.72-6.36%, 0.96-3.08% fat, carbohydrate 87.47-90.61%, soluble fiber 1.59-4.4%, insoluble fiber 0.01-0.02%, total fiber 1.6-4.42%, texture 3349.8-3687.8 gf and microbiological tests such total plate count, molds and yeasts and Staphylococcus aureus that meets the ISO standard of cereal (SNI 01-4270 -1996). The results showed that the carrot flakes had the highest quality overall and flakes broccoli had the highest fiber content.Key words: Flakes, ganyong, variety of vegetables, rice bran’sAbstrakFlakes adalah produk makanan siap saji untuk menyediakan kalori bagi yang mengkonsumsinya. Pemanfaatan ganyong sebagai produk sereal adalah salah satu cara meningkatkan diversifikasi pangan di masyarakat. Dalam rangka meningkatkan kualitas gizi flakes, terutama serat maka bahan lain ditambahkan dalam pembuatan flakes. Variasi sayuran dan bekatul digunakan sebagai bahan baku utama pembuatan flakes. Variasi sayuran yang digunakan yakni brokoli, bayam dan wortel. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Hasil yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini yakni kadar air flakes 0,03-0,36%, kadar abu 2,69-3,09%, protein 5,72-6,36%, lemak 0,96-3,08%, karbohidrat 87,47-90,61%, serat larut 1,59-4,4%, serat tidak larut 0,01-0,02%, total serat 1,6-4,42%, tingkat kekerasan/ tekstur 3349,8-3687,8 gf dan tes mikrobiologi seperti angka lempeng total, kapang dan khamir, serta Staphylococcus aureus sesuai standar ISO sereal (SNI 01-4270 -1996). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa flakes wortel mempunyai kualitas gizi tertinggi dan flakes brokoli mengandung serat tertinggi.Kata kunci: Flakes, ganyong, variasi sayuran, bekatul

Perkembangan yang pesat di bidang industri kimia telah membuat Klaus Weissermel dan Hans-Jurgen Arpe membuat edisi baru dari buku Kimia Organik Industri. Buku ini merupakan revisi dari edisi pertama dan telah diterjemahkan ke dalam delapan bahasa. Pada tahun 1976, Weissermel dan Arpe menerbitkan buku ini pertama kali di Jerman. Buku tersebut mendapat sambutan positif dari para koleganya. Tidak lebih setahun kemudian edisi kedua telah diterbitkan dengan dilengkapi data terbaru dari berbagai industri kimia di dunia.

Pencegahan penyakit ternyata tidak terlepas dari diet beberapa makanan. Diet makanan yang kaya akan manfaat, seperti buah, sayur, dan biji-bijian telah diyakini berhubungan erat dengan pencegahan penyakit tertentu. Beberapa senyawa fitokimia yang terdapat dalam bahan makanan mempunyai aktivitas biologis dalam pencegahan penyakit, seperti kanker dan jantung. Buku PHYTOCHEMICALS AS BIOACTIVE AGENTS yang ditulis oleh Bidlack et al., ini menyuguhkan tentang aneka ragam senyawa organik yang dibentuk oleh tumbuhan, termasuk cara identifikasi dan evaluasi bioaktivitas fitokimia yang berperan dalam pencegahan penyakit tertentu.

Sausage is food product made from mix ture of minced meat (contain meat more than 75%), flour or starch with or without additional spices, and other allowed food additive. Sausage made from meat usually has a higher content of fat, which in many cases usually caused serious health problem. To reduce the fat content in sausages, the researchers try to combine cassava starch with soybean flour. Soybean flour was used in combination with cassava starch because it reduced of cholesterol in blood, reduced oil absorption while frying. Soybean flour is a kind of food material that has higher content of protein but low fat, and it has complete essential amino acids. This research was conducted to find out the influence of cassava starch and soybean flour combinations to produce good quality of seabass sausages. In this experiment, cassava starch and soybean flour combination were as follows 90:10; 80:20; and 70:30. The result showed that the combination of cassava starch with soybean flour increase water content, ash content, protein content and fat content but elasticity and carbohydrate content were decrease.
