Sago starch has potential as source of flour for noodle. However, noodle made of sago starch has only been limitedly utilized due to the absence of gluten and lack of desired functional properties. Heat moisture treatment (HMT) is a promising technique for improving quality of sago noodle. The objectives of the present work were to study the effect of HMT of sago starch on its noodle quality. Four different origins of sago starch, i.e. Tuni, Ihur, Molat, and Pancasan, were treated with HMT method. HMT was performed by exposing the starch to high temperature (110 o C for 16 hours) at moisture content of 25%. Sago starch was then processed into noodle. It was prepared by mixing the sago starch with binder (completely gelatinized starch and additive) into dough. The dough was pressed manually through a container with holes in the base. Noodles strains were steamed for 2 minutes and dried at 50 o C in a convection drier. As the control, non-HMT sago starch was used and evaluated. Parameters evaluated were starch properties, physical strength, and cooking and sensory quality of the noodles. Analyses of variance was subjected to all parameters. Research results showed that the starch exposed to HMT changed its pasting profile from initial type A before treated to type B after treated. The noodle quality was also improved. Noodles resulted from starch treated with HMT showed higher firmness and elasticity, but they have lower stickiness compared to those of non-HMT. Less cooking loss and rehydration weight were also found, however, HMT increased cooking time of the noodles. HMT on Pancasan sago starch resulted in noodles which were preferred most by panelists. However, consumer testing is recommended to further validate consumers' preferences to the sago starch noodles. The study indicated that sago starch could be potentially used as raw material for noodles to increase the consumption of sago-based food.

Faktis coklat merupakan hasil reaksi vulkanisasi minyak nabati (jarak kepyar) pada suhu 130-160oC. Faktis coklat utamanya berfungsi sebagai bahan bantu olah kompon dan bahan penstabil dimensi pada barang jadi karet. Bahan bantu olah dapat mempermudah pencampuran dengan cara meningkatkan laju dispersi bahan pengisi dan menurunkan energi pengkomponan. Selain itu, faktis coklat dapat mempertahankan dimensi terutama pada barang karet hasil ekstruksi. Pada penelitian akan dipelajari ujicoba faktis coklat dari minyak jarak kepyar dalam pembuatan selang gas LPG. Kompon tanpa dan dengan penambahan faktis coklat komersial digunakan sebagai pembanding. Tahapan penelitian diawali dengan penyusunan formula kompon selang gas LPG kemudian pembuatan kompon selang gas LPG dalam mesin giling terbuka. Kompon yang diperoleh diperam sebelum dibentuk menjadi selang dalam mesin ekstruder. Kompon dicuplik ±150 g untuk uji karakteristik vulkanisasi dan sisanya divulkanisasi dalam autoclave. Selang  LPG hasil vulkanisasi diuji sifat fisika sesuai dengan SNI 06-7213-2006/Amd 1:2008. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktis coklat dari minyak jarak kepyar dapat berfungsi dengan baik sebagai bahan bantu olah tetapi belum mampu mencegah terjadinya dies swell pada selang. Faktis coklat dari minyak jarak kepyar tidak berpengaruh nyata pada hasil uji karakteristik vulknisasi kompon dan sifat fisika selang gas LPG. Hal ini memperkuat fungsi faktis coklat sebagai bahan bantu olah. Secara umum, faktis coklat dari minyak jarak kepyar memiliki kinerja yang setara dengan faktis coklat komersial. Diterima : 12 Maret 2012; Disetujui : 9 Juli 2012 How to Cite : Puspitasari, S., Muslich., & Syamsu, Y.

Pulutan leaf (Urena lobata Linn) is a type of plant that has long been used by the community as a remedy for various diseases. This research was conducted to determine the components of active compounds contained in the ethanol extract of pulutan leaves using GC-MS. The identification results showed that 50% ethanol extract of the pulutan leaves contained 5 compounds dominated by carbonic acid,monoamide,N-(2-ethylphenyl)-,propyl ester, Stigmasta-3,5-diene, and n-Hexadecanoic acid. Whereas 70% ethanol extract contained 18 compounds dominated by 4h-pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, phenol, 2,6- dimethoxy-, and n-hexadecanoic acid.

The supply chain in the 4.0 era wanted consumers to be closer to producers. Problems that occur in the supply chain are supply chain information flow is still long, there is no transparency, marketing coverage is less extensive, and documentation of activities is not good. The purpose of this study is to analyze the condition of the Kelompok Tani X cocoa supply chain and to identify the attributes of the blockchain based group cocoa supply chain farmers. The method used is the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The results obtained are that the supply chain information flow in the X farmer group is still overlapping, and has not been systematic. Actors consist of farmers, farmer leaders, processing factories (Kelompok Tani X), and retailers. Activities that occur are signing up, logging in, filling content, transactions, shipping, validation, and returning goods.

Abstract. The Council of Indonesian Muslim Scholar (MUI) has strategic position in Indonesia. It becomes the big umbrella of Islamic Mass Organiation in Indonesia. MUI was designed by Soeharto’s era as the media of the communication between Government and Ulama in one side but in other side to support the policy of the government in Soeharto Era. This paper wants to examine and explore related to the role of MUI in the process of positivisation of fatwa in Indonesia. Indonesia is not an Islamic country but also not a secular country, but the presence of MUI as a ”semi-government institution” is enough to give color to the process of forming rules and public policies in Indonesia. The MUI fatwa often contains an appeal to the central and regional governments to make policies in accordance with the main content of the fatwa. For example, the issuance of East Java Governor Regulation Number 55 of 2021 is part of responding to the East Java MUI fatwa related to Shia heresy. This shows that the Fatwa has structurally played a strategic role in the production of state policies both at the central and regional levels. This paper is part of a qualitative research using a type of library research, where one of the samples is the East Java MUI Fatwa regarding the Shia deviant fatwa which was later accommodated into East Java Governor Regulation number 55 of 2012. This paper proposes at least two questions important in this paper: first, why is a fatwa produced by MUI? What is the background, as well as the second question: How far is the influence of the fatwa in the process of forming public policies or government regulations that bind its citizens. To answer this problem, this paper uses Fairclough’s theory of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This theory wants to help uncover the process of publishing, using, and distributing fatwas and public policies, as well as their discourse and practice. This paper wants to reveal how the process of producing a fatwa from a religious instrument is transformed into a state instrument which I call ”fatwa positivization.” The positivization of a fatwa is a process of transformation from a fatwa with moral power to a binding and coercive legal force. From here, it can be explored how the role of the MUI in the process of positivizing Islamic law in Indonesia through the issued fatwas. Keywords: MUI; Fatwa; Positivisation of Islamic Law
