Willingness to Pay for Drinking Water and Sanitation Availability in Indonesia

When sustainability of access and quality, is the primary concern, water and saniatioan should be considered as economic goods. Therefore, we need more accurate information on the amount of people’s willingness to pay. This study attemp to (i) identify the effects of drinking water supply and home sanitation on the rent price of a house, (ii) calculating the value of marginal implicit price (marginal willingness to pay) for drinking water and sanitation, and (iii) examine factors that affects the availability of drinking water supply and sanitation. Using the hedonic price model, we conclude that: (i) the availability of water piped facilities or pump water affect rent price of houses in urban areas, while the availability of toilet facilitated with septic tank influences rent price of houses both in urban and rural areas; (ii) garbage handlings through collection by authorized agency influences rent price of houses both in urban and rural areas, (iii) the WTP for piped facilities or pumped water in urban area is Rp. 6,850 per month, while the WTP for toilet facilitated with septic tank is Rp. 15,800, and the WTP for garbage collection is Rp. 11,950 per month. The logistic model approach revealed that households’ economic and social conditions such as age, number of family members, breadwinner’s education, and expenditure per capita influence the availability of drinking water facilities in the form of piped water or pumped water, sanitation facilities in the form of toilet with septic tank, and garbage handling facilities. Human capital or the level of education is very crucial in the possibilities of ownership of drinking water and sanitation facilities.access to drinking water and sanitation, Willingness to pay, hedonic price model, logistic model

Lincomycin treatment: A simple method to differentiate primary and processed transcripts in rice ( Oryza sativa L.) chloroplasts

Visualizing full-length primary transcripts is helpful in identifying transcription initiation sites and mapping promoter regions of plastid genes and operons. Detection of primary unprocessed transcripts from certain regions of the plastid genome is difficult, and sometimes impossible, because of their rapid and extensive processing. We tested the effect of lincomycin, a prokaryotic protein synthesis inhibiter, on in vivo RNA processing activities in different types of rice plastid. Steady-state levels of RNA produced from the region of the rice plastid genome that includes thetrnV and 16s rRNA genes were analysed by using an RNase protection assay. Results show that sublethal lincomycin levels inhibit RNA processing in leaf chloroplasts and allow the accumulation of primary transcripts, easily distinguishable from processed and processing intermediates. These features were used to identify regions of the 16r andtrnV transcription start sites. This is the first report of the use of lincomycin for mapping plastidic transcript

PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI PENGOLAHAN BUAH TOMAT MENJADI PRODUK AGROINDUSTRI YANG BERNILAI EKONOMI DI DESA BAROKO KABUPATEN ENREKANG

Pengolahan tomat menjadi berbagai produk pangan, seperti saus tomat, merupakan salah satu alternatif untuk mengkonsumsi tomat dan memperoleh manfaat dari sifat fungsional tomat. Saus tomat terbuat dari pasta tomat, yaitu tomat yang dijadikan bubur kental (puree tomat) dan merupakan tomat konsentrat yang mengandung 24% atau lebih padatan terlarut tomat alami.

Elimination of toxalbumin in candlenut seed (Aleurites moluccana (L.) Willd) using wet heating at high temperature and identification of compounds in the candlenut glycoprotein

Toxalbumin is a toxic glyprotein contained in candlenut seeds. This toxic compound can be removed by heat treatment before the candlenut is used in processed food products. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of wet heating at high temperatures on the toxicity of candlenut toxalbumin by examining protein profiles, amino acid and carbohytrate contens in the candlenut extract. The material used in this study was unbroken candlenut seeds. This research apply Randomize complete design. The wet hight temperature treatment of candlenut seeds in this study was carried out in autoclave followed by drying in an oven. The wet heat tretment was performed at several conditions, namely without heating as control (P0), drying in oven at 70oC for 7 hours (P1), wet heating in autoclave at 121oC for 5 minutes (P2), 10 minutes (P3), 15 minutes (P4), and 20 minutes (P5). The P2, P3, P4 and P5 treatments were respectively followed by oven drying at 70oC for 7 hours. The results showed that treatment P5 reduced toxicity of candlenut toxalbumin as has been shown in other research through hemaglutination assay which indicated the abcence of aglutination of blood cells. The protein profile of candlenut extract revealed four protein bands with molecular weight of about 18-60 kDa. The reduction of toxicity has also been indicated by the lowest intensity of the bright blue color band on the P5 treatment compared the intensities of the other bands from the other treatments. Reduction of toxicity of the toxalbumin of candlenut seeds after 20 minutes of wet heating (P5) was caused by changes in the polarity of the amino acid glycoprotein. The reduction of non polar amino acids in toxalbumin (glycoprotein) occurred during wet heating, in particular, valine and proline. The increase of glucose and fructose contents was due to the breakdown of glycosidic bonds in glycoprotein molecules

Utilization of black rice (Oryza sativa L. indica) extract in making sarabba as functional drink

Indonesian traditional drink such as Sarabba is generally consumed for its taste. However, this drink has certain functional properties which originated from its basic ingredients. To enhance its functional properties, other natural ingredients such as black rice extract can be added to the basic ingredients. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to obtain the best treatment for the use of black rice extract in producing of Sarabba and to determine the effect of drying time on proximate value, anthocyanin, and thiamine contents; and solubility level of the product. The black rice used in this study was a local type variety that contains high amount of anthocyanins, a group of flavonoids, which is beneficial to health. Black rice was mixed with water at different ratios, grinded, and filtered. The filtrate obtained was used in formulation and the drink obtained was analyzed organoleptically. The best result of sensory evaluation based on color, taste, odor and texture was found in treatment 70% rice: 30% water. The treatment with the highest organoleptic score was used in this second stage of this study which involve drying of the Sarabba drink for 1, 1.5, and 2 hours. Proximate, anthocyanin, thiamine contents and solubility of the powder were determined. The result showed that best content of water (1.67%), carbohydrate (0.11%) and solubility level (20 seconds) were obtained at two hours drying. The best content of ash (2.3%), anthocyanin (11.83%), thiamin (0.056%) and fat (0.03) were obtained from one hour drying. The highest protein content (4.78%) was obtained from 1.5 hours drying treatment

Antioxidant, Nutrition, and Crystallinity Properties From Three Kind of Glutinous Rice of Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi Indonesia

This research was carried out using a laboratory experiment method, which analyzed the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, total anthocyanin, vitamins and the degree of crystallinity with XRD (X-ray Diffractometer), as additional data, analyzed all the elements contained in rice using the X-ray Fluorescence method. The research results showed that the total of Mandoti Kendenan glutinous rice phenol is higher than the other two glutinous rice, respectively 6.88 mg / g (MKR) and 6.74 mg / g (MSR) and 6.24 mg / g (BGR). Glutinous rice from Mandoti Salunkanan and Kendenan has an anthocyanin total of 5.03 mg / g sample and 3.96 mg / g sample is lower than black glutinous rice ie (119.42 mg / g sample).  Evaluation of physicochemical properties obtained 11.6-15.01% moisture content, average protein content of 7.98-8.36%, fat content of 1.74-2.25%, total carbohydrates of 88.07-88.49%, and ash content of 0.86-1.15%. Vitamins obtained in all three types of rice showed vitamin B1 in black glutinous rice, namely (0.22) and Mandoti Salunkananglutinous rice of 0.45 but were not detected in the type of Mandoti Kendenan glutinous rice, vitamin B3 was found in all three types of black glutinous rice with values (2.15, 1.63, and 2.76) average total minerals of Cu (0.11), Fe (0.26) and Zn (0.86) (P ≤ 0.05).  The conclusion of this research is that the three types of glutinous rice has antioxidant activity and important components of vitamins and minerals.
