Production of Nata De Coco Using Soaked Soybean Water as the Alternative Usage of Zwavelzuur Ammoniak (ZA)

Nata de coco is a biomass composed of cellulose, gelatin shaped and white, in which the mass is derived from the fermentation of Acetobacter xylinum in coconut water. During the fermentation, Acetobacter xylinum needs nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen to grow, where the carbon source is obtained from sugar and nitrogen source is obtained from ZA. The recently emerged case regarding the use of ZA fertilizers has raised many polemics in the urban community because of its nature for plants, making it a non food grade products. Therefore the alternative is needed to replace the role of ZA in nata de coco making process. The existence of nitrogen in soaked soybean water from Tempe “Kweni”, an industry in Bantul, has been proven through laboratory results, in which there is a 0,05% content of nitrogen, which had qualified the subtitutes of ZA. Soybean soaked water is also acidic (pH 4-5) so the addition of acetic acid in nata de coco production is unnecessary. The purpose of this study is to determine the formulation of helping materials as a replacement for ZA for making nata de coco, identify the characteristic of nata de coco without ZA from the sensory test results and determine the technical and financial feasibility of nata de coco without ZA production. In this research, trial production of nata de coco without ZA will use 5 variations of waste water concentrations, which is 20%, 25%, 30%, 40% and 50%. Results showed that after 8 days of fermentation the best concentration is obtained from 30% soaked soybean water adding, with 1,2 – 1,3 cm nata thickness. According to sensory response (aroma, texture and flavor) nata de coco without ZA had a better result compared to nata de coco with ZA Keywords: nata de coco, soybean, Zwavelzuur Ammonia

Background: Gandaria fruit on the island of Ambon has benefits if the sale value can be used as raw material for the manufacture of Nata products. The making of Nata Gandaria fruit with the help of Acetobacter xylinum microorganisms, the role of microbes to break down glucose into cellulose or fiber that is important for the human body. Methods: To know the length of fermentation to know the effect of fiber content of Gandaria nata, then tested on fiber content of nata Gandaria fruit that has been fermented for 10 days and 12 days. Result: Based on the test results using gravimetry fiber content method known nata fermentation time can increase fiber content. The highest increasing fiber content at nata occurred on day 12 with an average fiber content of 0.45% and the lowest occurred on fermentation day 10 with an average fiber content of 0.35%. Conclusion: The duration of fermentation has an effect on the fiber content of gandaria fruit (Bouea macrophylla griff). The duration of fermentation that produces gandaria fruit nata (Bouea macrophylla griff) with the highest fiber content is on the 12th day while the fermentation time that produces the gandaria fruit (Bouea macrophylla griff) with the least fiber content is the 10th day

AbstractMicrostructural changes that result in relevant improvements in mechanical properties and electrochemical behavior can be induced using different sintering conditions of ASTM F75 cobalt alloys during their processing using powder metallurgy technique. It has been observed that the increase in carbon and nitrogen content improves corrosion resistance and mechanical properties as long as the precipitation of carbides and nitrides is avoided, thanks to the use of rapid cooling in water after the sintering stage. In addition, the reduction of the particle size of the powder improves hardness and resistance to corrosion in both acid medium with chlorides and phosphate-buffered medium that simulates the physiological conditions for its use as a biomaterial. These results lead to increased knowledge of the role of carbon and nitrogen content in the behavior displayed by the different alloys studied.

Opening Up

The digital clock drawing test is a fielded application that provides a major advance over existing neuropsychological testing technology. It captures and analyzes high precision information about both outcome and process, opening up the possibility of detecting subtle cognitive impairment even when test results appear superficially normal. We describe the design and development of the test, document the role of AI in its capabilities, and report on its use over the past seven years. We outline its potential implications for earlier detection and treatment of neurological disorders. We set the work in the larger context of the THink project, which is exploring multiple approaches to determining cognitive status through the detection and analysis of subtle behaviors.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Role of chest CT in diagnosis of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of chest CT when utilizing COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS). METHODOLOGY: Retrospective study including consecutive patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test (initial or repeat test) and chest CT done in our institute between June and September 2020. Spectrum of CT ndings, CO-RADS score and 25 point CT severity score (CTSS) were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 300 consecutive patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the analysis. Out of the 168 patients who underwent CT prior to positive RT-PCR result, 125 (74.4%) had CO-RADS 3, 4 or 5 score on chest CT. 32 study patients (10.6%) had initial negative RT-PCR of which 24 (75%) had CO-RADS 4 or 5 score. Of the total patients with CO-RADS 3 to 5 score (227), 20 (8.8%) had severe lung involvement (CTSS 18-25), 83 (36.6%) had moderate lung involvement (CTSS 8-17) and 124 (54.6%) had mild lung involvement (CTSS 1-7). The mean CTSS was 7.9 with mean lobar score being higher in lower lobes (RLL=1.82, LLL=1.78) compared to the upper and middle lobes (RUL=1.61, RML=1.19, LUL=1.53). CONCLUSION:CT using CO-RADS scoring system has good diagnostic performance. In addition to assessing disease severity, it plays a vital role in triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 especially when there is limited availability of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests, delay in RT-PCR test results or in negative RT-PCR cases when there is high index of clinical suspicion.
