Abstract

Shallot is one of the kitchen spices that is often used by the community. Shallot contains several useful compounds and one of them is phytosterol. Along with the development of science and technology, phytosterol can be used to reduce blood cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease, so it is very beneficial for human health. In this study, phytosterol compounds were identified and isolated. The dried onion is then pureed and sifted to 100 mesh. The sieved powder is then extracted by reflux extraction method within 6 hours. The results of the extract were then isolated by column chromatography and identified by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The TLC test uses -sitosterol as a standard and anisaldehyde reagent as a stain appearance. The TLC plate which had stained appearance was then analyzed using the TLC Scanner method. The results of the TLC test showed that the extract of positive red onion was purple and contained fitosterol. The results of the TLC Scanner also show that the peak and spectrum of the samples are the same as the standard -sitosterol and positively contain fitosterol.

Abstract

Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) is a type of polymer that is widely researched because it can meet the requirements for biodegradable polymers and can be used in several of applications. Making PLA using the direct polycondensation method is carried out in 3 process stages, namely dehydration, polycondensation and recrystallization. Dehydration was carried out at 130℃ for 1 hour. Polycondensation was carried out at varying temperatures of 160℃, 180℃ and 200℃ with a concentration of 0.15% for 6 hours. In the meantime, 50 ml of methanol was added, and vacuum conditions were used to carry out the recrystallization process. After that, the viscosity method was used to determine PLA's molecular weight. The highest molecular weight and other properties of PLA, such as its functional groups and thermal behavior, are the aim of this study. The findings of the study indicate that PLA has its maximum molecular weight at 180°C, where it is 15576 gr/mol for PLA+Al(DS)3 and 10771 gr/mol for PLA+AlCl3. The PLA+Al(DS)3 and PLA+AlCl3 spectra display the same bands in the stretching and bending vibration modes, according to the FTIR test. Meanwhile, in the TGA analysis, the highest decomposition was shown by PLA+Al(DS)3 at a temperature of 365℃.
