Acceptability of cookies substituted with mocaf flour and varied with red bean flour and herbal chicken gizzard

Acceptability is an important factor in the success of additional feeding programs in the form of cookies in malnourished toddlers. The purpose of this study was to find out the acceptability of cookies that are substituted with mocaf flour, and varied with red bean flour, and herbal chicken gizzard. This experimental study was conducted using a completely randomized design using 3 factors and 3 treatments (C1, C2 and C3), namely each treatment used the same amount of mocaf flour, namely 120 g, red bean flour each 110 g, 100 g, 90 g and herbal chicken gizzard 20 g, 30 g and 40 g. Acceptance test was conducted on 30 toddlers aged 2-5 years in the Medan Tuntungan Health Center Work Area. The data were analyzed using the Krusskal-Wallis test and continued with the Mann-Whitney test. Based on the results of data analysis, it shows that organoleptic assessment based on flavour, color, taste, texture and form of treatment C1 is classified as favorable, while treatment C2 and C3 is classified as less favorable. The results of the Krusskal Wallis test proved that there were differences between the three cookie treatments (p< 0.05), and the Mann-Whitney test results showed that the C1-treated cookies were significantly different from the C2 and C3 treatments (p<0.05). In conclusion, cookies with mocaf flour substitution (120g) which were varied with more red bean flour (110g) and less gizzard (20g) had the best acceptability, so that it can be used as an additional food for the improvement of nutrition of toddlers with less nutrition.

Rapid assessment of the knowledge about Coleoptera (Arthropoda: Insecta) of forensic importance in an urban fragment of the Atlantic Forest in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

Forensic Entomology can be defined as an area of Biological Sciences that uses the knowledge about insects and other Arthropods in criminal investigations, since decomposing corpses are sources of resources for arthropods, including insects belonging to the Coleoptera order. The objective of this work was to carry out a rapid assessment inventory of beetles of forensic importance in an urban fragment of the Atlantic Forest (Parque Metropolitano de Pituaçu) located in the city of Salvador, State of Bahia, Brazil. We conducted a collection in the dry period (January 2013) and another collection in the rainy period (July 2013). The capture of coleopterans took place through the use of “Pitfall” traps, stocked with a mixed bait (chicken gizzard and sardines). A total of 239 were collected, distributed in three families: Scarabaeidae (96.1%), Staphylinidae (3.0%) and Histeridae (0.9%). The morphospecies Dicothomius sp. 1 (Scarabaeidae), was more abundant with 94.1% of the specimens sampled. The dry period was more representative for both richness and abundance. All species/morphospecies sampled already have previous records as belonging to forensic importance according to previous studies.

Quality and Acceptability of Pickle from Chicken and Turkey Gizzard

Gizzard pickles prepared from chicken and turkey gizzard were studied for various physicochemical, microbial, and sensory qualities. Significantly (p 0.05) higher pH and titrable acidity (% acetic acid) values were observed in chicken gizzard pickle as compared to turkey gizzard pickle. The product yield (%), TBA value (mg malonaldehyde/kg), moisture (%), protein (%) and fat (%) were significantly (p 0.05) higher in turkey gizzard pickle as compared to chicken gizzard pickles. Total plate counts of gizzard pickles did not differ significantly. No coliform and yeast and mold counts were observed in gizzard pickles. All sensory scores were significantly (p 0.05) higher for chicken gizzard pickle as compared to turkey gizzard pickle and were rated moderately to highly acceptable. Therefore, it can be concluded that highly acceptable pickle can be prepared from chicken and turkey gizzard had better physicochemical, microbial qualities, and sensory acceptability.

PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN AMPELA AYAM PADA KOMPOSISI PAKAN TERHADAP PERFORMA REPRODUKSI INDUK IKAN LELE

The effect of adding chicken gizzard in the composition of the feed on the reproductive performance of the catfish spawners Currently catfish farming is one of the people's choice, because it is triggered by a number of catfish demand. But in farming activities carried out by people sometimes do not pay attention to the quality aspects of the parent catfish. Parent quality also depends on the quality of the feed given. Therefore, it is needed feed with good quality in order to produce a good quality catfish broadstock. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum dose of chicken gizzard in feed to the reproductive performance of the catfish spawners. Feed given during gonadal maturation of spawners was floating feed of commercial brands of Hi-Pro-Vite 781 with a protein content of 30% -33% combined with boiled chicken gizzard. The treatment combination of feed used is: 1. Control (Pellet), 2. 25% pellets, 75% gizzard, 3. 50% pellets, 50% gizzard, and 4. 75% pellets, 25% gizzard. Parameters measured were fecundity, length of rematurasi, hatching and larval survival degree. The results showed that the combination of feed pellets ampela 50% to 50% is the right combination for catfish spawners could increase fecundit, hatching and larval survival degree. While the combination of feed pellets ampela 75% to 25% is the right combination to increase length of rematuration of catfish spawners.Key words: chicken gizzar, catfish spawners, pellet ABSTRAK Saat ini budidaya ikan lele merupakan salah satu pilihan masyarakat, karena dipicu oleh banyaknya permintaan ikan lele. Namun dalam kegiatan budidaya yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat terkadang tidak memperhatikan aspek kualitas induk ikan lele tersebut. Kualitas induk ini juga tergantung dari kualitas pakan yang diberikan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pakan dengan kualitas yang baik agar menghasilkan induk lele yang berkualitas baik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dosis optimum komposisi penambahan ampela ayam dalam pakan terhadap performa reproduksi induk ikan lele. Pakan yang diberikan selama pematangan gonad induk ikan lele adalah pakan apung komersil merk Hi-Pro-Vite 781 dengan kandungan protein 30%-33% yang dikombinasikan dengan ampela ayam yang direbus. Perlakuan kombinasi pakan yang digunakan adalah: 1. Kontrol (Pellet), 2. 25% pellet, 75% ampela, 3. 50% pellet, 50% ampela, dan 4. 75% pellet, 25% ampela. Parameter yang diamati adalah fekunditas, lama rematurasi, derajat penetasan, dan derajat kelangsungan hidup larva. Hasil yang diperoleh memperlihatkan bahwa pakan kombinasi ampela 50 % dengan pellet 50 % merupakan kombinasi yang tepat untuk dapat meningkatkan fekunditas induk lele serta derajat penetasan dan derajat kelangsungan hidup larva yang dihasilkannya. Sedangkan pakan kombinasi ampela 75 % dengan pellet 25 % merupakan kombinasi yang tepat untuk meningkatkan rematurasi induk lele.Kata Kunci: ampela ayam, induk ikan lele, pellet
