Tomatoes are by botanists called Lycopersicum esculentum Mill, is a plant of the Solanaceae family, which is blooming like a trumpet. Tomato plants, including one year (annual) which means that old one-time only for the harvest period. This plant shrubs or bushes shaped length can reach 2 meters. Stem form to a round square. Bercelah form pinnate leaves without penumpu leaves.

The shape, color, taste, and texture of tomatoes is very diverse. There is a round, round, flat, curly, or like a light bulb. Ripe fruit colors vary from yellow, orange, to red, depending on the type of the dominant pigment. It was also varied, from sour to sweet. The fruit-bunches are arranged in bunches. Overall fleshy fruits and are loaded with water.

Various varieties
Some basic varieties used to distinguish among them tomato shape, stem, thickness of meat, and water content. Based on the shape or appearance, tomatoes are classified as follows:

1. Ordinary tomatoes (Lycopersicum commune)
Form of flat round fruit, soft, irregular, and slightly grooved near the stem.
2. Apples Tomato (Lycopersicum pyriforme)
Shape of a round, compact, a little hard to resemble an apple.
3. Potato Tomato (Lycopersicum grandifolium)
Fruit is round, large, compact, with smaller sizes of tomatoes apples.
4. Curly tomato (Lycopersicum validum)
Slightly oval-shaped fruit, hard. The leaves are thick curly and dark green.

Must be cleaned
Newly harvested fruits are usually separated according to size and quality (grading). Determination of fruit quality based on health, toughness, cleanliness size, weight, color, shape, maturity, freedom from foreign substances and disease, and damage by insects and mechanical injuries. Quality categories used is an extra class, class 1 and class 2.
Once sorted, the tomatoes must be cleaned and washed to remove dirt on the fruit. Mainly dirt soil splash, dust, and chemical substances (drugs and fertilizer spray). Apart from giving the impression dirty, spray the soil can also carry diseases and some harmful microbes. Chemicals that attach to the fruit, especially pesticides, if present in excessive amount can cause poisoning.

Storage of tomatoes must be done at temperatures not too high, usually performed at room temperature. However, it would be much better if the tomatoes are stored at a lower temperature, ie in refrigerators. High temperatures can damage the quality of stored tomatoes. Cold storage process can be slow maturity, reduce vulnerability to microbial attack, reduce water loss, and maintain levels of vitamin C.

Utilization
Tomatoes can be used either in fresh or in processed form. In the form of fresh, tomatoes are often used as a food supplement ingredients (vegetables), for salads, sandwiches, chili, and so on.

In the form of processed tomatoes can be made into various kinds of canned products, such as whole tomatoes, tomato slices, sauce, and puree. In addition, you can make fruit juice and concentrated to produce tomato paste.

So far the results have been processed tomatoes are widely known by the public is fruit juice and tomato sauce. Fruit juice (fruit juice) is a liquid that does not undergo a process of fermentation, but obtained from the pressing process the fresh fruit and ripe. Processing of tomatoes into juice, but can produce a more durable product, is also a practical beverage, delicious and refreshing taste, is also beneficial to health.

Tomato sauce used for flavoring food. Making the sauce is done by evaporating some of the water from which the fruit juice viscosity desired. Into the fruit juice concentrates are added to a variety of spices to menyedapkan. In order to become more thick sauce, often also added starches and other thickening.

Rich in Vitamin C and A
Tomatoes, both fresh and processed form, has a nutrient composition of a complete and good enough. Tomato fruit consists of 5-10 per cent of dry weight without water and 1 percent of the skin and seeds. If dried tomatoes, about 50 percent of the dry weight of reducing sugars (mainly glucose and fructose), the remaining organic acids, minerals, pigments, vitamins, and lipids.

Tomatoes can be classified as a source of vitamin C are very good (excellent) for 100 grams of tomato filled 20 percent or more of vitamin C daily needs. Vitamin C to maintain healthy teeth and gums, speeding up wound recovery, prevent disease Scurvy (skorbut), and avoid the occurrence of smooth vascular hemorrhage.

In addition, tomatoes are also a source of vitamin A is good (good) for 100 grams of tomatoes may contribute about 10-20 percent of daily vitamin A requirement. Vitamin A is necessary for the health of the organ of vision, immune system, growth, and reproduction. Vitamin A and C in tomatoes is also efficacious as an antioxidant.

Tomato juice contains vitamins and minerals are fairly complete. 100 grams of tomato juice will be obtained 7 mg of calcium, phosphorus 15 mg, 0.9 mg iron, 230 mg sodium, and potassium 230 mg. Vitamins contained in 100 grams of tomato juice is a vitamin A (1050 IU), vitamin B1 (0.05 mg), vitamin B2 (0.03 mg), and vitamin C (16 mg).

High lycopene content of
Tomatoes contain lycopene high. Lycopene is a pigment that causes red tomatoes. Like beta-carotene, lycopene belongs to the carotenoid group. There have been many studies that reveal the health benefits of lycopene.
Lycopene are known to have antioxidant capabilities and can protect the body against various diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Crushed tomatoes or cooked is the source of lycopene is better than raw tomatoes.
For example, the amount of lycopene in tomato juice can reach five times more than in fresh tomatoes. The researchers speculate, cooked tomatoes or destroyed may issue more lycopene, which is easily absorbed body.
Lycopene found in tomato cell wall. Therefore, with a little cooking oil could be released this component. In addition, cooking tomatoes with olive oil (olive oil) allows the body to absorb lycopene better (Ahuja et al., 2003).
Phenolic component is also important compounds in tomatoes potential, although in fewer numbers. This component provides a beneficial effect. Recently known that tomato puree (tomato destruction), contain small amounts of compounds called routine. Routine compounds can be absorbed and utilized properly by the body.

Indonesian society has known since the tomato sauce a few years ago. Tomato sauce is usually consumed as a food flavoring. Because it’s unique and much in demand by society in general. If we want to go to a restaurant that offers Chinese cuisine, especially the fans meatball noodles, usually at the dinner table has available a variety of bottles or places that used to contain tomato sauce, chili sauce, salt and vinegar. The function of the various items mentioned above is for seasoning food. Commodity is not sold on the market both in different traditional and super market. Center for Scientific Documentation and Information LIPI, in the year 2001 has been conducting Iptekda program, through the sauce-making business activities tomatdi Rao-Rao rural plains district, West Sumatra.

This area was chosen as the location of activities for various reasons, partly because the regional potential as producers tersebutmempunyai tomato tebuang not absorbed by the market, and rprice low so that not even very profitable. Production of abundant tomatoes at harvest and prices fell due to not absorbed by the market sold as fresh fruit and low price of tomatoes, caused the farmers are not able to close its production costs. These developments are a problem for local farmers. With the Iptekda activities through the creation of tomato sauce, which bertujuna to pursue post-harvest processing tomatoes, the problem can be overcome. This activity is expected also to increase knowledge and teknologhi in crop processing industry, opening jobs and help realize the Tanah Datar kabipaten agro-based industrial economy.

Making tomato sauce using the main raw material of tomatoes. Manufacturing process is quite simple, because the process is not too complicated and can be done using simple tools as well. Dalanm tomato sauce-making process, the most important thing is to maintain the quality of production. Similarly, efforts in anticipation of consumer tastes. Usually there are different kinds of taste of tomato sauce are sold in market. If the production of tomato sauce will be marketed in certain market segments, product packaging is very influential on the sale of production quality as well. Traditional Food Industry Development in Countryside Bantar Rubber, bear Bogor Kripik Process Cassava To make cassava chips required raw materials consisting of cassava, cooking oil, and spices. The production process is carried out cassava peeled and washed, then sliced, steamed and fried, after the packaging is cool. Washing process carried out to eliminate kotorang and choose the appropriate size of cassava is used. The process is done by using the slicing machine type pengiris straight and wavy.

The machine design is the result of the IPB. Steaming process undertaken with the aim to make cassava chips become soft. Frying process done once after a partially dried. Making Zeolite Granular Flour and Indonesia is known as a country rich in mineral resources and energy sources. However, utilization of natural resources is not optimal so that the natural wealth has not benefited the people and the state. In this case the use and application of science and technology have helped to transform resources into the production of efficient and effective. One example of mines owned by Indonesia and has a good prospect of zeolite contained in the Tasikmalaya district stretching from the sub region to region Cipatujah CIKALONG District. The region, zeolites have a large enough reserves of adequate quality. Unfortunately the quarry material utilization is not maximized. This is because zeolites are sold to other regions in the form of slabs Tasikmalaya, for further processing outside the Tasikmalaya regency. Based on such circumstances Geoteknologi LIPI Research Center, through IV Iptekda activities, carry out manufacturing activities zeolite powder and granular in Tasikmalaya District, right in the Village SINDANGKERTA, Cipatujah district, Tasikmalaya regency. Zeolites have teraktifitasi in powder and granular form, is a multifunctional goods. Zeolites can be used to bleach teeth in toothpaste, as a water purifying, detoxifying from the rest of the food on shrimp and fish ponds. Even that’s not the only benefit, for example, to mix ingredients in animal feed, as a filter in the plastic industry and the use of the most potensian is for plantation lands, especially oil palm plantations and the kelapan. Zeolite market not only for domestic but also the potential to be exported mainly to Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Australia. In general, these countries, used for oil palm plantations, pertambakan business, and coastal protection. To increase the added value of zeolite minerals in the area, should attempt to change the slab-shaped mine into powder and granular / split. This is done not only to increase the added value, but also opens the area of employment so as to improve the welfare of society. In this case Geoteknologi Research Center involved in the manufacture of zeolite powder and granular as well as fostering local SMEs.

Generally there are 3 to 4 stages to process raw materials into products zeolite zeolite powder and granular ready to use, namely the reduction of the size of the raw materials into powder and / or granular, making granular, zeolite and packaging activities. 1. Reduction of the size reduction of the size of zeolite is done by breaking machine. Stone zeolite minerals measuring 20-30 cm is split into 3-5 cm-sized zeolite. This stone is broken bait for penepungan engine. Production of machinery in the form of flour penepungan sized -4, -100, -200 and -325 mesh. Making 2 Making Granular granular granular done by machines with output feedback penepungan size -100 and -200 mesh 3 activation Activation of zeolites Zeolites done on the play of the furnace penepungan production, except for the -325 mesh size. 4. Product packaging packed zeolite activation results in a waterproof bag with 40 kg weight.

One of the ingredients in tomatoes is lycopene is most useful. Lycopene is one of the vital natural antioxidants. These antioxidants are part of the keluraga pigments called carotenoids. Carotene is a natural component of color to create fruit and vegetables. For example, beta-carotene is the orange pigment found in carrots.

Lycopene works against the formation of cancer cells and various types of complications and other health problems. Lycopene can fight free radicals that enter the body.

Lycopene is not produced naturally in the body. Thus, our bodies need food from outside sources.

This antioxidant can be found in species other pink fruits, watermelon and some other foods. However, lycopene content in food is only slightly compared with the amount found in tomatoes. Thus, tomatoes are the best friend to get lycopene.

Studies have shown that tomatoes are not only effective in preventing cancer but also prevents heart disease and high cholesterol. Cancers such as prostate cancer, rectal cancer, stomach cancer, mouth, esophagus has been shown to be prevented by consuming large quantities of lycopene

The researchers include lycopene into the culture of cancer cells. Lycopene proved able to prevent the growth of cell culture, these cancer cells. This is strong evidence showing the health benefits of tomatoes.

In addition, tomatoes are also useful for:
• Eating large amounts of tomatoes can improve the texture and skin color
• Tomatoes are good for purifying the blood
• Tomatoes serves to protect the liver from cirrhosis and serves to destroy kidney stones
• Tomatoes are also a natural antiseptic to prevent infection, nicotine acid in tomatoes can lower cholesterol, thus can prevent heart disease
• Vitamin K is contained in tomatoes prevents bleeding.
If consumed when fresh, the tomato is very rich in vitamin C. However, better tomatoes consumed after cooking. Tomatoes contain a lot of water. At the time of cooking, this water will evaporate. That way, the concentration of lycopene in cooked tomatoes will be higher. When cooking, it helps to avoid too high temperatures because it would kill most of the vitamins contained in it.

100 grams of tomato nutrients as follows:

* Vitamin A: 1000 international units (IU)
* Vitamin B: Thiamine many milligrams 0:56
* Vitamin C: 23 milligrams
* Vitamin K: the number does not necessarily
* Calcium: 11 milligrams
* Iron: 6 mg
* Phosphorus: 27 milligrams
* Potassium: 360 milligrams

LIFE can not be separated from the Simplot potato. He called the potato as something real and large, not something trivial. For him, the attitude many people look down on the potato business is a big mistake.

“Potato is everything,” he explained. Simplot did not hide his identity as a potato farmer’s son. He’s just as proud when he called a potato farmer. Farmers are always dirty and covered in mud is a great thing. “I’m just an ordinary farmer. I’m rich because of good luck is believed kentang.Saya meaning a keberuntungan. lucky is a fact. In fact, I got lucky, “he explained.

With potatoes, at the end of 2006 Simplot managed ranked 278 of 400 richest people in the world according Forbes.Pada magazine Forbes List of Richest People 2007, released last month, warning Simplot occupies 284 of 400 people terkaya.Dia also became the richest man and the 29th anniversary employers of the oldest in America’s most successful with wealth UDS3, 8 billion. Remarkable success achieved Simplot is a fruit of hard work since the age young. Issued from school at the age of 14 years, Simplot escape from parents who are also farmers potatoes.

For the sake of survival, he chose a potato sorters lokal.Dia companies then seek additional money into the building workers. In the dormitory, Simplot met with a group of teachers who had been paid in the form of scripts (such shares). Simplot bought scripts were at 50 cents and sell it back to the bank at a price of 90 sen.Dengan profits buying and selling scripts Simplot teachers were finally able to purchase 600 trucks and piglet tails to open the ranch.

Two years later, precisely at the age of 16 years, he began farming business kentang.Tahun after year continues to grow and make it able to rent a larger area. In the 1930s, Simplot large and successful in Iowa Dubuque, Iowa, United States, was named the business as The Potato King.Saat that he produced about 33 million pounds of dried potatoes per year or one-third of the total consumption of U.S. troops during the war at that time.

Furthermore, the company managed to sell millions of pounds of high-quality potatoes sold at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC for fried potatoes materials. Although as a farmer, Simplot did not want to miss time with the rapid development of technology. In the 1950s, when many people are still reluctant to invest the money in the field of food preservation technology, Simplot dare to be pioneers. Apparently not salah.Justru investment, depending on the food industry is now with the technology.

Investment was successful because the market is responding and more proud of buying food that has been preserved. Simplot company’s management handed over to the children and grandchildren in the 1990s, while he was still the owner status. In the hands of his successors Simplot business expanded to other continents. Simplot Company with Nestle to acquire Pacific Brands Food residing in Australia.

He is also a joint venture in China to produce seed potatoes to meet the needs of potato in areas far tersebut.Lebih, he worked with Dutch-based company, Farm Frites beheer BV, to build a farm partnership. Without leaving the foundation of its business in agriculture, Simplot invested their capital into the business micron technology.

“I felt challenged to do business related to the future of technology,” he explained. He has invested millions of dollars and soon will reap success. On the other hand, the din of the U.S. political world has not caught his attention a little pun.Dia country thinks the country is potatoes, peasants who always led the campaign and election. “I do not care about politics, I also do not favor one party’s politik.Politik rough,” he said.

One of the philosophies of life which is always held Simplot is not to start something from the great. He looked at each other, step in life must start from a little one’s future because no one can know. “We just can not know the future and what happens tomorrow, next month, and next year,” said the honorary degree recipients from the University of Utah for his contributions in the agricultural industry.

Ray Kroc, the entrepreneur who makes membeliMcDonaldpada1955 and fast-food restaurants are the largest in the world, to comment on Simplot. For Kroc, Simplot was a successful farmer who can pound the world of agriculture in the U.S. and the world. “Moreover, the findings Simplot, potatoes for fries raw material, is something very sacred in the food business,” he said.

“Manufacture of potato chips was more the better. Marketing is no longer difficult as ever, “said Leni Kasiyanto that sell and produce potato chips with a scale household industries, Friday (22 / 3), in the Stone.

Leni says, potato chips making business started by his mother who since 20 years ago, was initially difficult marketing. However, recent buyers who travel to the Stone was often stopped and shopped at the store.
Potato chips into souvenirs typical of the Rock, in addition to the popular apple for a long time. However, the uniqueness of artificial stone chips as if the only people known to the middle layer of the economy. Therefore, the price of potato chips is now Rp 60,000 per kilogram (kg) for the quality of super chips. The most cost Rp 20,000 per kg.
The price of potato chips is influenced by the quality. Expensive chips are large, and after a clean white fried. Cheapest chips random-sized, but small white and brown.

Low cholesterol
This product became more popular because of relatively cholesterol lowest potatoes, but give enough calories.
Leni said, making it all the potato chips made from local materials from local stone. Seller agent now always put up the raw potato into the house. Each month he takes 2.1 tons of raw potatoes, and every day the amount of raw potatoes into chips though he average 70 kg.

Depreciation weight potatoes into potato chips is high enough. Of every 10 kg of potatoes, after processing only produce one kilogram of chips. This is what makes the price quite expensive chips.

Raw material prices of potatoes for the rainy season and dry season is also different. In the rainy season prices potatoes Rp 2,500 per kg, but in summer the price of potatoes Rp 4,000 per kg. Uniquely, the difference in price of raw materials did not affect the price of potato chips.

The price remains the same is true for potato chips immature or mature. Because, one kg of raw potato chips, after being fried weigh up to 1.2 kg.

Drying of potato chips from Leni home industry takes advantage of hot sun. The best drying period, the hot sun to reach the optimal three days. If less than that, potato chips will be white and less crispy brown.

To start the potato chips business, there are some machines that you can use, among others:

So that the reader more aware of how important the presence of traditional foods, our favorite SENIOR Tabloid has been several times to load the articles associated with it. On this occasion will be discussed on Karedok and gado-gado, two types of traditional foods which when viewed from the raw materials, they look similar, but different presentation.

Karedok is a typical food from West Java, while the gado-gado can be considered as typical food from Central Java and Batavia. This paper will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each of these foods. Furthermore how menyiasatinya, so that from both we always get the maximum benefit for the body.

Micro-laden substance Nutrition
Based on the edible parts of vegetables are grouped into five types, namely (1) root vegetables (carrots, beets, radishes, potatoes, onions), (2) fruit vegetables (peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, squash, pare), (3) vegetables legumes (beans, bean, Winged bean), (4) leaf vegetables (spinach, katuk, cassava leaves, mustard greens), (5) Vegetables flowers (cauliflower, turi).

Eating vegetables is the thing to do if we want to live a healthy life. Condition fit body and youthful could be achieved by eating vegetables regularly in sufficient portion. Because vegetables is a factory for micro nutrients, namely vitamins and minerals.
In addition, vegetables are also a storehouse of food antioxidants and fiber. All of these substances are needed to maintain a healthy body to keep fit.

There is lots of vitamins in vegetables is vitamin C and vitamin B complex. Some vegetables are also a source of vitamins A, D, and E. Carotenoids (precursor of vitamin A) and vitamins C and E are natural antioxidants which is very useful for attacks against free radicals, causes premature aging, cancer and other diseases. There is lots of minerals in vegetables are iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, and phosphorus.

Compared to other sources of fiber, vegetables are the best sources and the main. Fiber in vegetables is very beneficial in the prevention of various degenerative diseases, such as colon cancer, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disease, diabetes, gallstones, and others.

Many Advantages
Must be recognized that the processing of vegetables into Karedok and gado-gado has many advantages compared with the processing of other types of cuisine. Some of these advantages are as follows:

Food taste very unique and interesting. Each ingredient has a taste that is very distinctive, like sweet, slightly bitter, sepat, and others. The combination of vegetables in the form of Karedok and gado-gado will provide tastes very specific, delicious, and interesting, so not easy to forget and even make people become addicted.

An interesting texture. Each type of vegetable has its own texture, such as spinach and squash is soft, hard carrots, kale fibrous, crunchy cucumbers, and others. The combination will provide great sensation when Karedok and gado-gado chewed in the mouth.

Interesting color. Each type of vegetable has a specific color, so perpaduannya each other will provide its own appeal. Karedok colorful and gado-gado is a combination of orange-yellow color combination of corn and carrots; green color of spinach, pariah, beans, squash, and kale; white color of the cabbage, potatoes, sprouts, and cucumber; and color Brown ground peanut sauce.

Full nutritional value. Every food has advantages and disadvantages of one or more specific nutrients. Mix several types of food in one type of cuisine (such as the Karedok and gado-gado) will produce a complete nutritional value and optimal. In nutrition, the concept of fusion is known as complementation. Biological availability values (such as absorption capacity and efficiency) of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, protein) of a food will increase with more complete combination of ingredients in the cooking of food in it. Nutritional composition Karedok and gado-gado is very different from each other, depending on the constituent materials.

Crude, But Fun
Imagine if one day you are in a cool location with a very sunny weather. Breezy wind gemericiknya voice chimed in from the shower water, while from a distance came the faint sound round bamboo blades wind accompany direction.

If later on you’re served a plate before Karedok, salted fish, emping melinjo, and hot rice scented pandan leaves, what will happen? You certainly would eat up the food and feel satisfied that delicious. That’s the charisma of Karedok.

Culture Karedok very good eating to be developed for easy presentation and a lot of benefits. Materials used to manufacture Karedok is raw vegetables, usually consisting of long beans, cabbage, sprouts, lettuce, basil, cucumbers, and green eggplant.

Because the vitamin is a nutrient component very easily damaged, the main keywords that must be considered in selecting the level of fresh vegetables. In addition, the origin and hygiene material is also an absolute thing that must be considered.

The materials are presented in the raw state. Therefore, if you are not careful in choosing raw materials, we will be confronted with several possible risk of harm.

The factors that need to be suspected of taking Karedok are:

Pesticide residues. Vegetable cultivation can not be separated from the problem of pests and plant diseases. To keep pests, farmers use pesticides of different brands. Harvesting vegetables should not be done when the vegetables sprayed with pesticides discharged because the residuals are still left until a few days after spraying, especially during drought. According to some studies, the waiting period between the last time the use of pesticides with a time of harvest of about 1-5 weeks. The waiting period depends on the type of pesticide used. The waiting period in which pesticides are systemic (absorbed into the material) longer than the pesticide nonsistemik (just stick to the surface). Pesticides are difficult to dissolve in water has a longer waiting period than with soluble pesticides in the water.

Washing is not perfect. Various studies show that some chemicals in pesticides that are not lost due to washing, especially if not done with proper technique. Because of that, do washing vegetables as clean as possible with running water.

Washing water quality. Clean water is water that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and free of microbial pathogens. Source of clean water that is not often contaminated by various contaminants, especially bacteria that cause infectious diseases such as typhus fever by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysentery by dysentriae, Vibrio cholera by colerae and by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For more on the safe side, wash vegetables with boiled water or a solution containing a disinfectant compounds specifically for vegetables and fruits.

Contamination of harmful bacteria. To improve the fertility of agricultural land as a medium for the growing of vegetables, farmers often use organic fertilizer in the form of humus or manure (and often mixed with human excrement). Farmers as a lavatory habits (bowel movement) in the fields, go exacerbate the possibility of contamination of harmful bacteria into the vegetables, especially vegetables, which runs along the ground or the height close to ground (short). Sprinkling of rain bouncing off the agricultural land is often the cause of contamination. Examples of pathogenic bacteria from feces is Eschericia coli can cause diarrhea, Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratypi causes typhoid fever. Salmonella can also cause upset stomach with symptoms of poop-poop, headache, vomiting, and fever that lasts for 1-7 days.

Compounds of natural toxins. Several types of raw food materials containing natural toxic compounds, such as saponins in soybean, peanut, spinach, and asparagus; goitrogen (cause goiter) in cabbage and radishes; cyanide in cassava leaves; solanine in potatoes; and others. These toxic compounds can only be eliminated through the process of washing and cooking with the right temperature.

Mature and Ah!
Judging from the raw materials and ingredients used, very similar Karedok gado-gado. The most striking difference between the two is in terms of processing process, which is material in the cooking process making gado-gado.

The purpose of cooking vegetables is to (1) Outlining the pectin contained in the cell wall to the soft texture, (2) kill germ, (3) made inactive toxic natural compound, (4) Outlining the pesticide residues that are not harmful to the body, (5 ) Changing the complex compounds into simpler, so easily digested and absorbed by the body.

To create a gado-gado, vegetables should be cooked first. Cooking vegetables for gado-gado to be done so that texture is not destroyed. Compared with the fresh ingredients, cooking processes can reduce the nutritional content.

The process of cooking should be able to combine the two kinds of interests, namely the fulfillment of tastes and nutritional needs. Thus, the cooking should be regarded as a work of art so that the cooked material was not destroyed and lost Khasiatnya for the body.
Here are some tips to minimize damage to nutrients in the preparation of materials for making gado-gado:

Stripping (potatoes and carrots) should be kept to a minimum so as not remove the nutrients that are very much in the near skin.

Washing should be done before the cut-poton vegetables so as not many nutrients are water-soluble part washers.

Cutting should be done with a rather large size. The smaller the size of the material, the more vitamins and minerals are dissolved when washed.

Cooking done with minimal water. The more water used, the more vitamins and minerals that dissolve during the cooking process

Entering the vegetables into the pot should be done if the water has boiled to shorten the contact time with the heat. Cooking steamed by eliminating fewer nutrients than boiling

Leave the pan is open during the boiling process lasted for evaporating acids, so the vegetables stay green, not brown.

Listen to information from the local health office and the prevention of spread of this information to the public.

Some experience I do in terms of investigation and observation of this disease there are several conclusions that I caught, one of the main of which are:

Some people consider this disease mediocre. This is seen when there are dead birds in their environment to feel mediocre, despite being assured that these dead birds with H5N1 positive.

My conclusion above indicated that the community may have less schools of the dangers of this disease or because their neighbors have not affected this disease. So, naturally we are to remind each other.

In an environment, such as a village with a potentially contagious disease in village poultry or poultry contained H5N1 positive I suggest doing the following things:

1.Don’t panic.
Monitor developments

2.Keep poultry deaths.

3.Quick report to RT, the Village Head to the level of the relevant office.

4.Execute a village meeting to address this, can also invite resource persons from relevant parties.

5.Coordinated to the village midwife, health center or to make a postal center and early detection information.

6.For still maintain a healthy environment to work together

7.Cari correct information about it as much as possible. Including ways of prevention against this H5N1 disease.

8.Quick report if there are people who suffer from overcrowded, high fever and cough after contact with poultry.

9.Keep maintain personal hygiene by washing hands after contact with poultry.
