Mutu Sensoris Pada Mie Basah dengan Substitudi Tepung Almond (Prunus dulcis) dan Tempe (Glysine max) Sebagai Makanan Alternatif Dewasa Obesitas.
No full textObesitas adalah kelainan yang ditandai dengan penimbunan jaringan
lemak tubuh secara berlebihan yang dapat terjadi karena adanya ketidakseimbangan antara energi yang dikonsumsi dengan energi yang dikeluarkan. Data Riskesdas menunjukkan adanya peningkatan prevalensi obesitas pada penduduk berusia >18 tahun dari 11,7% (2010) menjadi 15,4% (2013). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis mutu sensoris (tekstur, rasa, aroma, dan warna) pada formulasi mie basah dengan substitusi tepung almond (Prunus dulcis) dan tepung tempe kedelai (Glycine max) sebagai makanan alternatif dewasa penderita obesitas. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah true experimental laboratory sebanyak 3 formulasi dan 1 kontrol. Formulasi tepung terigu, tepung almond, dan tepung tempe yang digunakan yaitu T0 (100%:0%:0%), T1 (50%:35%:15%), T2 (50%:25%:25%), dan T3 (50%:30%:20%). Penilaian sensoris menggunakan skala hedonik 1-? ?????? ? ????? ?????? ????? ????? ?????? ? ????? ?????? ????? ?????? ?????????? ?? ????? ??????? ???? ????????? Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu mie basah dengan tingkat kesukaan tertinggi adalah mie basah formulasi T0 (kontrol) dari semua parameter. Analisis statistik menggunakan Uji Kruskal Wallis menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan (P0,05) untuk parameter warna dan aroma mie basah substitusi tepung almond dan tepung tempe. Pemilihan perlakuan terbaik menggunakan metode Zeleny didapatkan bahwa T3 (tepung terigu 50% : tepung almond 30% : tepung tempe 20%) merupakan formulasi mie basah terbaik. Formulasi mie basah ini diharapkan dapat menjadi makanan alternatif bagi dewasa penderita obesitas

The Tragic Descent of Serious Reaction to Misplaced Sentiment
No full textThe paper examines the way society distorted tragedy into farce. Limiting the investigation to the first half of the nineteenth century it describes how Romantic artists developed an overly tragic sensibility in their work, persona and lifestyles as a reaction to the effects of the industrial revolution. It then examines how the early Victorians sentimentalisd this tragic attitude particularly in the exaggerated etiquette and artifice associated with mourning and death. Tragedy is the quintessential expression in describing excessive sadness or disaster, therefore it is the most dramatic, rendering it virtually impossible to exaggerate. Attempts at exaggeration have bordered on caricature or satire, that have distorted tragedy into travesty. Tragedy has manifested itself through various expressions in art, literature and reality yet only rarely, as in the Romantic Movement have all three mediums merged. This resulted in a histrionic tragicomedy of display that began as a serious reaction to social conditions and ended in sticky sentimentality
Development of sandwich ELISA and lateral flow immunoassay to detect almond in processed food
No full textAlmond (Prunus dulcis) represents a potential allergenic hazard that should be included in Allergen Control Plans. In this study, sandwich ELISA and lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), using amandin (Pru du 6) as the target protein, were developed to detect almond in processed food and validated according to international guides. ELISA could detect 2 ng/mL and LFIA 30 ng/mL of pure amandin. No cross-reactivity was found on a panel of 50 food commodities with the exception of Pecan nut, Brazil nut and chestnut for which the cross-reactivity was lower than 0.02%. Furthermore, ELISA and LFIA were able to detect 0.12 and 0.70 ppm of almond protein in foods spiked with almond extract whereas 0.20 and 2.0 ppm could be detected in baked cookies incurred with almond, respectively. Both techniques could be applied for food manufacturers and control agencies for monitoring the presence of almond traces in food and working surfaces. © 2021 The Author(s
BIOS and conventional almond orchard management compared
No full textConventional almond growers in Merced and Stanislaus counties who use organophosphate,
carb-amate and pyrethroid insecticides were compared with participants in the Biologically
Integrated Orchard Systems (BIOS) program, who do not use these broad-spectrum insecticides.
The results demonstrated consistent but not significantly lower infestation by navel
orangeworm and peach twig borer for growers who used broad-spectrum sprays. Infestation
by ants resulted in the most consistent difference between the two management practices,
with significantly less damage when broad-spectrum sprays were used. The differences
in overall pest damage were relatively minor, but the variation was greatest among
those not using broad-spectrum sprays. Winter survival of the navel orangeworm parasitoid,
Goniozus legneri, and parasitism by this beneficial insect were low in all orchards, sprayed or unsprayed.
Winter removal of unharvested almonds to fewer than two per tree reduced navel orangeworm
infestations in both treatments. Although many of the almond growers not using organo-phosphate,
carbamate or pyrethroid sprays had less damage than some who used these materials,
the greater range of damage experienced by these growers may explain why more almond
growers prefer to use them annually to combat insect pests
Nesting: short stories
No full textDavid Almond is now known around the world as the author of the novels Skellig, Kit's Wilderness and The Savage. His first two books - Sleepless Nights (1985) and A Kind of Heaven (1997) - were published by Iron Press. A selection of these short stories for adults appear in Nesting alongside two previously unpublished tales. The stories draw deeply from the Tyneside estate of Almond's childhood, exploring the themes that would inform his later work, and displaying all the rhythm, lyricism and drive for which he is acclaimed today
