As a fermentation method, the utilisation of starter culture is a common practice in industrial manufacturing, although spontaneous methods have been employed since ancient times. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different production methods on red beetroot juice (RBJ). For this purpose, as a starter culture, the probiotic Lactibasillus paracasei (Lc. paracasei) was inoculated into the RBJ samples after pasteurization. Also, the growth of cells, acid production, and substrate utilisation were monitored throughout the fermentation process of RBJ under two different methods of fermentation.The samples produced by the addition of Lc. paracasei demonstrated a slightly lower decrease in pH values in comparison to the samples obtained by the spontaneous method. The concentration of lactic acid (LA) and acetic acid (AA) at the end of fermentation reveals that Lc. paracasei exhibits a greater capacity for both LA and AA generation compared to the spontaneous method. The ratios of LA and AA molar concentrations of RBJ were determined to be 1.7 and 3.6 for the samples produced by adding Lc. paracasei and the spontaneous method, respectively. The samples produced by adding Lc. paracasei exhibited a greater consumption of sucrose. Both fermentation methods provide LAB counts exceeding 8 log CFU/mL at the end of fermentation.Time demonstrated a significant correlation with LA and AA in the method by adding Lc. paracasei (r = 0.942 and 0.745), respectively (p

Diabetes mellitus, which is caused by high blood glucose, is increasing from time to time due to an unhealthy modern lifestyle. Diabetes can cause complications in many parts of the body and increase the risk of death. So far, glucose assay often used glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzymatic system that requires special treatment and other high-cost resources. Thus, developing a simple non-enzymatic analytical method to determine the glucose content in body fluids is necessary. Here, a novel and straightforward method for glucose sensing was developed based on digital image colorimetry (DIC) combined with smartphone detection. Small amounts (< 1 mM) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) which has a violet-blue color were employed as colorimetric biosensors that selectively change their color to violet-red upon the addition of glucose. The addition of glucose concentration is linearly proportional to the light absorbance and blue color intensity. These AuNPs color changes were captured as a digital image using a smartphone which then undergo data processing using an application attached to the smartphone. The accuracy of the proposed DIC-smartphone was tested with standard addition (recovery 99.5–103%) and validated with the UV–vis spectrometer. The method has good selectivity and sensitivity, with a detection limit of 0.043 μM and a linear range from 0 to 40 μM (R 2 = 0.9984). The method was successfully applied to quantify the glucose concentration in real samples, i.e., urine samples of normal people and diabetic patients that give satisfactory accuracy (< 3.0%) and precision (< 4.2%).

According to Permenkes RI nomor 15 tahun 2013 on How Providing the Special Facility for Breastfeeding and or breast milk, Lactation Room or Nursing Room is a special room equipped with facilities for breastfeeding directly to the baby or breast milk and keep the milk, and or a counseling room for breastfeeding. Availability of lactation room is increased the positive image of University of Bengkulu in level of local, national, and international community as one of efforts to reach the quality of world class university. University of Bengkulu should be the pioneer of such this program in Bengkulu Province. Lactation room, called Bilik Laktasi, is 4.5 m x 8.5 m’s room that accommodate of maximum of 10 infants and breastfeeding mothers. This room is equipped with mattresses and toys, a refrigerator, cooling box, fan, dispenser, and other supporting facilities. A trained nanny will manage the room and standard operational procedurals are set for services. Keywords: Lactation Room, Breastfeedind, breastfeeding milk, working women, employer

Trashion is the activity of turning trash into fashion goods. The utilization of waste into valuable recycled products is an activity that should be done to save the environment and income generating. This activity introduces how to process waste, designing, and making products from plastics waste. This activity invites society to make use of waste, honing skills to design and sew and look at business opportunities from Trashion products.

ABSTRAK Kambing kacang dikenal sebagai kambing lokal dan merupakan salah satu plasma nutfah ternak ruminansia Indonesia. Kambing lokal ini lazim dipelihara oleh peternak dan menjadi salah satu pensuplai kebutuhan protein hewani masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh dari suplementasi tepung katuk (Sauropus androgynus) dengan level pemberian yang berbeda terhadap profil komponen leukosit dan deferensiasinya pada kambing kacang betina fase prasapih. Rancangan percobaan yang dipergunakan adalah Bujur Sangkar Latin (Latin Square). Sebanyak 9 ekor kambing kacang betina prasapih (umur 4 sampai 6 bulan, berat rerata 8,45 ± 1,00 kg) selama 7 minggu dipelihara dalam kandang individu dan mendapat perlakuan 3 aras suplementasi tepung katuk (A: pakan hijauan dan konsentrat ad libitum (HK) + non suplementasi, B: HK + suplementasi 3% dari berat hidup, dan C: HK + suplementasi 6% dari berat hidup) masing dengan 3 ulangan. Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan bahwa bahwa perlakuan suplementasi tepung katuk berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap profil komponen leukosit dan deferensiasinya yaitu limfosit, monosit, netrofil dan eosinofil (P > 0,05). Kondisi (umur, berat badan, seks) kambing betina prasapih yang seragam dalam penelitian ini diperkirakan sebagai penyebabnya. Kondisi individu yang seragam berakibat pada kondisi fisiologis tubuh serta kemampuan produksi antibodi yang sama pula. Kata Kunci: Kambing kacang betina prasapih, Leukosit, Suplementasi tepung katuk
