EFFECT OF COOKING METHODS AND RICE VARIETY ON THE SENSORY QUALITY AND CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE

Rice is the staple food of Indonesian which has superior taste which made it rooted in the eating culture in Indonesia. Nowadays, there is still limited research comparing cooking methods in various rice varieties. This study aim to analyze the eff ect of various cooking methods and rice variety on sensory quality. There were two cooking methods tested, traditional method that combines boiling and steaming, and rice cooker steaming method. Sensory test (quality characteristic) and acceptance test were measured using hedonic scale on 30 semi-trained panelist to evaluate the eff ect of cooking method on four rice variety, that are white rice Berlian Sae, white rice Super Slyp, brown rice, and black rice. Statistical test used was ANOVA and continued with Duncan test. Results showed diff erences in ratio of water and cooking time of various types of rice with diff erent methods. White rice (Slyp Super) with conventional cooking methods was more acceptable to panelist with the characteristics of bright colors, smell, neutral taste, and delicate texture. There was a signifi cant diff erence in panelist acceptance based on type of rice (p<0.05) which brown rice and black rice had lower acceptability than white rice. There was no signifi cant diff erence in acceptance by cooking method (p>0.05), but there was a tendency that traditional method has higher acceptability. Color indicator became main indicator for panelist determined overall acceptability, so that it can be considered in the development of rice cooking methods.

PENAMBAHAN IKAN LELE (CLARIAS GARIEPINUS) DAN ISOLATED SOY PROTEIN TERHADAP DAYA TERIMA DAN KADAR PROTEIN CILOK

Some research found that p rotein adequacy from snack for elementary school children are still lacked. Snacks availability at schools have an important role to fulfi ll protein requirement for students. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of catfi sh (Clarias gariepinus) and Isolated Soy Protein (ISP) addition on acceptance level and p rotein content of c ilok (snack). Research methods used for formula development was experimental research with completely randomized design. Repetition was performed four times on fi ve treatments (one control and four modifi cations, those are F1 was added ISP, F2 was added c atfi sh, F3 was added c atfi sh fl our, and F4 was added c atfi sh and ISP). Assessment of a cceptance used hedonic test. Variable in this research was a cceptance level (color, aroma, texture, and fl avor) and p rotein content. Hedonic test was performed to 71 students. The difference of a cceptance (color, aroma, texture, and fl avor) between 5 formulas was tested used Cochran’s Q; the difference within formula then analyzed by Mc Nemar test. Hedonic test result showed that panelists preferred F0. F4 had highest p rotein level based on DKBM and laboratory analysis found protein level (9.4 g/ 100 g) higher than recommended value. Cochran’s Q test showed signifi cant difference a cceptance on color (p = 0.002) and taste (p = 0.047). Mc Nemar test showed the difference within formula on the color was F0 with F3, F1 with F3, and F2 with F3, while difference fl avor formula found in F0 with F3. This research concluded that F4 had the highest p rotein level but the a cceptance was still low, it is recommended to modify F4 so that it become more acceptable but did not change the protein content.

Birth Order, Sibship Size and Social Class as Antecedents of Adolescents' Acceptance of Parents' Authority

On the basis of past theory and research concerning social-structural differences in acceptance of parents' wishes, it is hypothesized that the legitimacy of parents' authority will be more fully accepted by firstborn middle-class adolescents from small families than *by later-born working-class adolescents from large families, and alternative theoretical interpretations of the predicted differences are developed. Questionnaire data from 1,415 tenth grade public school students and university freshmen indicate that: (a) parents' educational authority is accepted more fully in the middle than in the working class, (b) male adolescents from small families accept the father's educational and heterosexual authority more fully than male adolescents from large families, and (c) the authority of parents is accepted more fully by first-born than by later-born male adolescents. The alternative interpretations of the findings are assessed. In the nuclear family, the parent occupies a position of authority over dependent offspring; but the parent's authority-especially over adolescents-rests, in large part, upon offsprings' acceptance of the legitimacy of parental control. Two studies by the author (Smith, 1970a; 1970b) have indicated that a substantial proportion of the variance in parental influence upon adolescents may be accounted for by variability in adolescents' acceptance of the legitimacy of parental authority. At this point, an effort to identify some of the antecedents which might determine adolescents' acceptance of parents' authority would seem to be in order. Past theory and research relevant to differences in the extents to which children and adolescents follow parents' wishes suggest that birth order, sibship size, and social class might appropriately be investigated as possible antecedents of adolescent acceptance of parental authority.
