Abstract

This research focuses on the use of tannin components in tamarind seed coats as a mordant and natural dye in cotton fabrics. Tannins were extracted from the tamarind seed coat by boiling method and then the tannin content was determined. The tannin extract was then used as a natural mordant with the addition of metallic copper sulfate (CuSO4) mordant. Tannin extract is also used as a dye on fabrics with the addition of sodium sulfate (NaSO4). The color strength of the tannins in the fabric was analyzed using a spectrophotometer from the rinse water. The results showed that the cloth that had been given the mordant had a stronger color strength than the cloth without the mordant. The use of mordant was varied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%-owf. The results of the analysis showed the most optimum tannin concentration at 15%-owf. The concentration of tannin used in the coloring process was also varied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%-owf. The results of the analysis show that the concentration of tannin used in the dye does not affect the strength of the color, but only affects the brightness of this color.

Abstract

As the demand for fatty acids increases, the enzymatic process of triglyceride hydrolysis emerges as a promising technology. Compared to microbial lipase, utilization of plant lipase is more practical due to its ease of preparation and cost-efficiency. This work aimed to verify the degree of lipolysis of several novel lipase sources from plants. Novel lipase sources investigated were seeds of kapok (Ceiba pentandra), java almond (Sterculia foetida), pongam (Milletia pinnata), sea mango (Cerbera manghas), tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum), latex of sea mango, aveloz (Euphorbia tirucalli), and jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Several acknowledged plant lipase sources were also compared, i.e. seeds of castor bean (Ricinus communis), physic nut (Jatropha curcas), rice bran (Oryza sativa), latex of frangipani (Plumeria rubra) and papaya (Carica papaya). Plant lipase was utilized in the hydrolysis of olive oil at room temperature. Results for seed and latex lipase were compared and technical issues were reported. Several plant lipases are remarkably active and potential to compete with microorganism lipases in industrial applications.
