Daniel’s update #1
Hi there! It has been 2 years since I graduated from the IPADS of The University of Tokyo. After leaving Araki’s Lab I returned to Bogor Agricultural University and helped my former supervisor, Prof. Armansyah, and friends do their researches. Well, it was more like I studied again than I really gave them. Some have now graduated from the bachelor and master programs, and some are still in the final year of Ph.D. I believe they are all doing well, especially since I know how capable Prof. Armansyah is. We had some hectic schedule at the end of the year, as we had to finish much paperwork required for research reports. I got a precious experience of how troublesome and tricky conducting research at a university in Indonesia could be. After spending about 6 months there, I got an offer from Department of Chemical Engineering, Bandung Institute of Technology, for a position of the so called “academic assistant”, which is a role of junior faculty member that is not yet given a status of full-time faculty member and It is much more like a structured trial and internship for a …

Research:Quality of Frozen Storage of Durian (Durio zibethinus Murray) Pulp Durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) is a native and highly priced fruit in Southeast Asia due to its seasonality, unique smell, taste and texture. Because of its seasonality, freezing is one of the means to preserve the excess supply and provide durian during off-seasons. Moreover, it contributes to the reduction of the bulk nature of the fruit and concealing its unique but strong and aroma during shipping and distribution. Freezing is well known for keeping the quality of foods at a longer period, however, there are still quality concerns associated with it depending on the type and characteristics of the commodity. In frozen storage of fruits, studies have been reported for the quality changes related to the chemical and physicochemical properties, texture, color, and volatile profiles. In durian, limited information is provided for the quality changes in the frozen and thawed durian hence, this study is carried out as my Ph. D study.
