In a world that is constantly evolving, our understanding of nutrition and its impact on human health has grown exponentially. Food, once merely a source of sustenance, is now recognized as a powerful tool for improving public health and well-being. Organized into four sections, Food Fortification: Trends and Technologies presents a comprehensive exploration of food fortification—from its historical roots to its modern applications. Part I introduces the concept of food fortification as a potential strategy for the control of micronutrient malnutrition and the role of micronutrients in human health, recommended dietary allowance, and source. It also details the deficiency, prevalence, popu...
Buku ini merupakan pemikiran secara individual berdasarkan kompetensi masing-masing guru besar Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). Dewan Guru Besar (DGB) menginisiasi penerbitan buku ini karena seorang guru besar UGM mempunyai nilai strategis bagi kemajuan bangsa. Seorang guru besar mempunyai kewajiban khusus membuat karya ilmiah dan menyebarluaskan gagasan pembangunan Indonesia atas dasar ilmu pengetahuan yang dimiliki. Oleh karena jabatan guru besar merupakan jabatan akademik tertinggi diharapkan pemikirannya sudah sangat mendalam dan visioner. Dalam kaitan itulah, DGB memrogramkan penulisan buku “Pemikiran Guru Besar UGM Menuju Indonesia Maju 2045”. Tahun 2045 bertepatan dengan 100 tahun I...
Nanomaterial adalah material berdimensi nano, yaitu dimensi antara 1 sampai dengan 100 nm. Ketika benda-benda diperkecil ukurannya memasuki dimensi nano maka sifat-sifat materi dapat berubah. Sebagai contoh, di ukuran meruahnya sebatang aluminium tidak dapat digunakan sebagai propellant. Akan tetapi, pada dimensi nanonya, serbuk nanoaluminium merupakan campuran propelant yang dapat meningkatkan kinerja bahan bakar roket. Karena ukurannya yang sangat kecil maka untuk dapat mempelajari nanomaterial secara lebih baik diperlukan pengetahuan kimia kuantum yang memadai. Kimia kuantum adalah salah satu cabang dari ilmu kimia yang mempelajari fenomena-fenomena kuantum material, mulai dari fenomena a...
Limbah plastik di Indonesia saat ini merupakan masalah yang harus diselesaikan. Peningkatan volume sampah plastik erat kaitannya dengan pertumbuhan penduduk dan jumlah kegiatan industri yang cenderung meningkat setiap tahun. Penggunaan plastik di Asia diperkirakan akan terus meningkat seiring tahun dengan rata-rata penggunaannya mencapai 20 kg per tahun perorang. Permasalahan di atas perlu diatasi, salah satunya dengan cara melakukan pengelolaan sampah plastik dengan baik untuk Konversi Sampah Plastik Menjadi Gasolin 3 meminimalisir dampak bahaya terhadap lingkungan. Salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut adalah sampah plastik dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber energi alternatif terbarukan.
