Fruits and other horticultural products are commonly harvested at high atmospheric temperatures. Since high temperatures significantly make the respiration rate increase and may reduce the quality of the products, the products are necessarily cooled as soon as possible. Accordingly, the objectives of the studies were to develop models for estimating temperature distribution on spherical particles stacked in pipe and cooled by water surface evaporation. The temperature distributions on particles were based on the transient cooling on spheres. The temperature gradient along the pipe was related to the pipe size, particle size, particle position, and air flow rate. Dimensional analysis was used to relate the particle average temperature to the pertinent parameters. The average temperature was calculated using the Heisler chart based on particle center temperature. The results indicate that the average temperatures of the particles can be estimated based on the pertinent parameters. The formulae of the exact solution of the transient heat transfer on spheres can be used to estimate the temperature of the particle during evaporative cooling

Knowledge of moisture diffusivity was important for water loss modelling during deep fat vacuum frying. The appropri- ateness of model depended on the accuracy of moisture diffusivity value. The objective of this research was to calculate carrot moisture diffusivity during deep fat vacuum frying. Moisture diffusivity was obtained from rate of water loss multiplied by L2/π2. The rate of water loss was determined from unsteady-state diffusion equation. The slope of the time vs. dimensionless concentration ratio plot was the rate of water loss. Carrot was used as a sample in this research. The rate of water loss was determined during deep fat vacuum frying with variation of absolute pressure, temperature and initial moisture content. The result showed that moisture diffusivity depended on absolute pressure, temperature and initial moisture content. The result indicated that an increase in the temperature of frying and initial moisture content caused an increase in moisture diffusivity. While an increase in the absolute pressure induced decreasing of moisture diffusivity. The moisture diffusivities were accurately predicted at absolute pressure range from 20 – 40 kPa, initial moisture content range from 198 % (db) to 940 % (db) and temperature range from 80 to 110 oC.ABSTRAKPengetahuan mengenai difusivitas air sangat penting untuk pemodelan kehilangan air selama penggorengan hampa udara. Kesesuaian model tergantung atas akurasi nilai difusivitas air. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menghitung difusivitas air sebagai fungsi tekanan absolut, suhu dan kadar air awal bahan selama penggorengan hampa udara. Difusivitas air diperoleh dari laju kehilangan air dikalikan L2/π2. Laju kehilangan air ditentukan dari persamaan di- fusi tak mantap. Kemiringan dari kurva lama penggorengan terhadap rasio konsentrasi merupakan laju kehilangan air. Penilitian ini menggunakan wortel sebagai sampel. Laju kehilangan air ditentukan selama penggorengan hampa udara dengan variasi tekanan absolut, suhu dan kadar air awal bahan.

Kata kunci: konstanta laju pengeringan, pengeringan bertekanan rendah, daun Sambiloto Herbs (traditional medicine) such as sambiloto leaves are senisitive to heat, therefore the drying process of herbs were performed at low-pressure. At low pressure, evaporation of water in the herbs can be carried out at a temperature below 100°C. The low temperature of drying may reduce the destruction of heat-sensitive chemicals inside the herbs. The present study aimed at analyzing the drying-rate constant of sambiloto leaves during low-pressure drying. Sambiloto leaves were dried at varied temperature of 30°C, 40°C, and 50°C, and varied pressure of 61 kPa, 48 kPa, and 35 kPa. The water content of sambiloto leaves was reduced from ± 70% to ± 10%. The change in water content was measured after 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 210 minutes, by using thermogravimetry technique. The drying-rate constant was calculated using the equation of thin films. The drying-rate constant was 0.01 – 0.0175 min-1. It was observed that the drying-rate increases as the pressure decreases. To predict the change of water content in sambiloto leaves during low-pressure drying process, an empirical equation for the drying-rate constant as a function of temperature and pressure was derived from the experimental data, kprediction= 0,00075T0,823P-0,021. Key words: drying-rate constant, low-pressure drying, sambiloto leaves

Sampel penelitian adalah buah nangka digoreng pada suhu70-100 OC, lama penggorengan 15-60 menit dan tekanan vakum 13-23 kPa. Parameter yang diamati adalah warna (L), warna (a), warna (b), kadar air dan kadar sukrosa sebelum dan setelah sampel digoreng. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perubahan warna L, a dan b dipengaruhi oleh penguapan air bebas dan penurunan kadar sukrosa di dalam padatan, sehingga secara empirik model matematik perubahan warna L, a dan b yang dikembangkan dapat digunakan dengan baik untuk memprediksi perubahan warna keripik buah selama dalam proses penggorengan secara vakum.

Kebutuhan akan keamanan sistem informasi merupakan hal yang sangat penting bagi suatu perusahaandalam menjamin kesuksesan proses bisnisnya. Hal ini mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan apabila dikaitkandengan meningkatkannya jumlah insiden keamanan komputer serta kerugian yang ditimbulkannya. Dewasa ini,konsep keamanan yang merupakan sebuah proses manajemen yang berkelanjutan dan melibatkan seluruhkomponen dari suatu perusahaan, telah meninggalkan cara konvensional yang hanya mengandalkan keamananpada kemampuan perangkat lunak atau perangkat keras. Salah satu alternatif solusi manajemen keamanantersebut adalah dengan membentuk CSIRTs (Computer Security Incident Response Teams) pada organisasi atauperusahaan. Penelitian tentang Model Organisasi CSIRTs telah dirintis oleh CMU/SEI (Carnegie MellonUniversity/Software Engineering Institute) sejak tahun 1998. Pada tesis ini, akan dilakukan suatu studikelayakan salah satu model organisasi CSIRTs tersebut, yang disegmentasikan pada perusahaan berskala besar.Studi ini, akan menggunakan metoda CBA (Cost Benefit Analysis) untuk pengujian dari sisi ekonomi, dan CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) dari sisi manajemen.Kata kunci: keamanan sistem informasi, CSIRTs, Model Organisasi CSIRTs, perusahaan berskala besar, CBA,CMMI.

Polyphenols play important roles in taste and flavour development as well as antioxidative property of cocoa products. Chemical changes of the polyphenols occurring during conventional roasting was due to exposure to the oxygen of surrounding air at high temperature(110-200oC) for 20 up to 60 min, depend on the degree of roasting. Shorter time was needed to roast the cocoa nib by using microwave energy. The objective of this research was to investigate changes of polyphenol compounds during microwave roasting of ground cocoa nibs. Deshelled and ground cocoa nib passing through 20 mesh screen was roasted using microwave oven at 20% power for 5 min. Conventional roasting conditions were also adopted for treating the sample using an electric oven at 140 oC for 40 min as comparison. The polyphenols was extracted with acetone 80% and then freez dried. The crude extract was characterized for total polyphenols. Polarity of the polyphenolic fractions was analyzed from the crude extract as well as the ethyl acetate soluble extract by HPLC. Chemical bond of the compounds were detected by Fourier Transform Infrared Spektrophotometer (FTIR). Results indicated that the conventional roasting tend to decrease the polyphenols content while microwave roasting was increase, though the data showed significantly no difference (p≤0,05) . HPLC separation suggested that the roasting of the sample increased in polarity, though FTIR spectra showed similarity in quantity of O-H, C-H, and C=C bonds respectively The microwave oven roasting gave one small additional fraction compared to both sample extracts from the conventional roasted and the unroasted samples which gave two fractions. Further, the ethyl acetate soluble extract from the microwave sample gave eight chromatographic fractions while from those conventional roasted and the unroasted gave two fractions and one fraction, respectively.
