TITLE
Title of paper consists of no more than 20 words. Abbreviations are not permitted in the title.
Title is followed by the name of the authors and complete institution address. When a paper
has several authors from the different institution, contact author should be given. A running
head (an abbreviated title consisting of no more than 55 characters) should also be appeared
above the title.
ABSTRACT
Abstract is written in Indonesian and in English. The abstract consists of no more than 200
words. It starts with a clear statement of the objectives of the experiment that followed by
i
materials and methods, results and important conclusion. References are never cited in the
abstract. Abbreviations that appear in the abstract should be defined when they are first used.
At the end of the abstract, list up to 5 (five) keywords in alphabetical order that best describe
the nature of the research.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should provide the readers with information necessary for understanding
research presented in the paper. Previous work on the topic should be summarized and
objective of the current research should be clearly stated.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The section of materials and methods should include a discussion of the methods of
statistical analysis, and specify equipment source. All modifications of the methods should
be explained.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Results and discussion sections may be combined, or they may appear in separate section. In
case of being separated, the Results section should contain only the results of the current
author’s study. There should be no literature comparisons. Those comparisons should appear
in the Discussion section. The discussion should interpret the results clearly.
CONCLUSION
Conclusion should be written a maximum of 100 words. Recommendation can be added.
REFERENCES
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references in chronological
order. Use the following system for arranging the references:

TABLES
On tables, no vertical line is used and each term should begin with a capital letter. Any
important explanation to the understanding of the tables should be given as a footnote at the
ii
bottom of the table. All tables should be explained in the text. An example of constructing
table:

FIGURES
Figures should be drawn on white papers and lines should be less than 1 mm wide. The left
vertical and bottom horizontal lines is used. All the figures should be numbered in
consecutive order. Legends should be made outside of figure.
An example of constructing figure:

Storage time (Weeks)
Figure 1. The storage stability of immobilized whey stored in 10 mM PB
(pH 7.0) at 4˚C for 4 weeks. The immobilized whey was achieved by
circulating 100 ml of whey to 1.0 g of SP-FF and followed by washing to
remove unbound LPO. The 100% of relative activity means the initial
activity of immobilized whey right after immobilization process. The
symbols represent immobilized whey () and free enzyme (). Data
points are mean values based on triplicate determination. Error bars
represent standard deviation of the mean.
TEXT CITATION RULE
In the body of the paper, refer to author as follows: Smith and Jones (2005). If the sentence
structure requires the author’s name be include in parentheses, then the proper format (Smith
and Jones, 2005; McDonald, 2007) is used. Use “et al.” following the first author when there
are more than two authors but give all authors in the references. More than one article listed
in the same sentence of the text should be in chronological order first and alphabetical order
