Abstract

Energy sources from non-renewable materials such as petroleum are limited and will continue to decrease. Meanwhile, efforts to find renewable energy sources as reserves require quite expensive costs with a relatively long duration. Therefore, it is necessary to research renewable energy sources, such as corn stovers and coconut shells. This study is generally carried out by making charcoal or carbonization, briquetting, and testing the quality of briquettes. The variables used in this study are the composition of corn cob charcoal and coconut shells. The composition of the mixture used consists of 5 comparative variables, namely sample A = 1: 1, sample B = 1: 2, sample C = 1: 3, sample D = 2: 1, and sample E = 3: 1 with a drying temperature of 100 oC. This study aims to produce biobriquettes from variations in the ratio of good and quality corn cob and coconut shell so that they can be used as environmentally friendly alternative fuels. This study concludes that the optimal mixture variation to produce good quality biobriquettes is found in sample C with a water content of 2.20%, ash content of 3.22%, sulfur content of 0.07%, and a calorific value of 7339 cal/gram because it has a lower optimization compared to other samples and meets the specified standards.

Abstract

Matoa tree bark is a plant that contains flavonoid chemical compounds believed to be a traditional medicine in various alternative treatments. Therefore, it is important to measure its flavonoid content. Ethyl acetate extracts were prepared using the maceration method at durations of 3 x 24 hours. The aim of this study was to determine the flavonoid compound content and levels in matoa tree bark (Pometia pinnata) using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Qualitative analysis was carried out using NaOH reagent and the wilstater cyanidin test, both of which showed positive results for containing flavonoid compounds, indicated by an orange color change. Quantitative analysis using a regression quercetin standard curve with an R2 value of 0,9844 revealed a flavonoid content of 2.712%. These results indicate that matoa tree bark extract has a high flavonoid content and has the potential to be developed as a herbal medicine formulation.
