Abstract

Fermentation in coffee provides new modulation to the taste and sensory profile of coffee, thereby enhancing its flavor quality. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) strains are used for fermentation in the wet process and have been proven to improve the overall flavor of the coffee. Therefore, in this study, coffee fermentation will be carried out using Lactococcus lactis subsp. to improve coffee flavor quality. The study begins with preparing the starter medium, starter culture, and fermentation. Subsequently, proximate analysis and a cupping test are conducted to assess the flavor profile of the coffee. The results of this study show that coffee fermentation can increase the number of LAB with longer fermentation times. Furthermore, proximate results indicate that fermented Robusta coffee contains 7.86% less fat compared to non-fermented Robusta coffee, which has 15.02% fat. The cupping test results for fermented Robusta coffee reveal a total score of 81, with the clean cup and uniformity aspects scoring 10. This total is higher than that of non-fermented Robusta coffee, thus proving that fermentation using Lactococcus lactis subsp. can improve coffee flavor quality.

Abstract

This research was conducted to study the effect of pump speed on changes in fluid levels in the tank and linear regression analysis of fluid flow. The variation used is a 4 mm solenoid and a variable pump speed range of 30-50%. The results of increasing the level at a pump speed of 32% obtained a level of 82 mm and a pump speed of 50% obtained a level of 149.9 mm, with fluid flow rotation occurring in the first minute. In addition, the determination calculation uses actual fluid level data at time 0 seconds (n=1), time 60.27 seconds (n=30), and time 180 seconds (n=61), with a fluid level value of 1 mm, 118 mm, and 141 mm. So the determination evaluation (R2) obtained is 0.863, which indicates that the model is included in the high tolerance category.  So this indicates that the PID controller in this series of piping system equipment is still suitable for use because in the recording of the fluid flow data obtained no significant gaps were found. Apart from that, it can also be seen that the pump speed affects the fluid flow rate due to the change in mechanical energy into kinetic energy which pushes the fluid towards the tank. Process time also influences changes in fluid levels in the tank as a result.

Abstract

Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is an element that has an important role in energy efficiency in PT. XYZ. At PT. XYZ there is a problem with the PHE device, where the flow rate of the hot fluid in the device tends to decrease over time, this can cause the heat transfer between the hot fluid and the cold fluid to be sub-optimal resulting in a decrease in the performance of the device. The performance of PHE equipment can be seen from its effectiveness, if PHE performance decreases it can cause an increase in energy consumption so that the cost incurred also increases. This study aims to calculate the effectiveness of PHE type 605A used as a heat exchanger between crude palm oil and bleached palm oil refined at PT. XYZ and current effectiveness is around 81.77% - 86.13%. However, the efficacy of PHE decreases over time and is expected to decrease to 75% on day 11. Recommendations that can be given in this study are routine maintenance and cleaning, real-time monitoring of the performance of the plate heat exchanger, and a review of the workload of the plate heat exchanger system.

Abstract

West Sumatra has a high potential of coconut resources with most of it being processed for copra products. The pandemic situation in recent years has caused the price of copra products to fluctuate, so an alternative coconut processing is needed. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is an alternative coconut product that can increase economic value of coconut and is needed as a supplement that can strengthen the body's immune system during the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the efforts to train the community to be able to process coconut into VCO is to conduct training activities that are directly located in the coconut farmer cluster, which is carried out in Sungai Sirah Village, South Coast District, West Sumatra. This community service activity aims to increase the competence of farmers in the village so that they can process the coconut produced into VCO, hence help their economy when the price of copra drops. The stages of the activity start from socialization, presentation on production process, and continued with demonstrating how to make VCO. Participants were divided into several small groups where they could immediately practice how to make this VCO with the correct fermentation steps. After the manufacturing process is well understood, the next step was training of how to do packaging and marketing. Farmers were trained on how to package products in order to get good quality product and then trained to sell VCO through online shop such as Facebook, Instagram, Tokopedia, etc. This activity helps add more insight in terms of processing and marketing, in which participants increase their knowledge and competence to form the basis for entrepreneurship of coconut processed products.

Abstract

Bleaching Earth (BE), primarily derived from Bentonite, is widely used in the bleaching process of Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Its efficiency depends on the proportions of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃, which enable effective pigment absorption. This study evaluates the performance of unmodified Bentonite, nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite, and commercial BE in producing Bleached Palm Oil (BPO). The novelty lies in the nano SiO₂ modification, designed to enhance the structural properties and absorption capabilities of Bentonite. Characterization of BE was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), while BPO quality was assessed through parameters like moisture content, acid value, Free Fatty Acid (FFA) levels, (Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI), and β-carotene concentration. The results showed that BPO processed with nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite had the lowest β-carotene concentration (443%) and a DOBI value of 1.453, demonstrating superior bleaching performance compared to unmodified and commercial BE. Other parameters, including FFA levels and moisture content, exhibited minimal variation. Color analysis revealed that BPO processed with nano SiO₂-modified Bentonite achieved a comparable color value (1.5/15) to commercial BE. These findings highlight the potential of nano SiO₂-modified bentonite for improving oil quality by reducing FFA and acid value while maintaining optimal moisture content, offering a novel and effective alternative to unmodified bentonite in oil refining.

Abstract

The efficiency of β-carotene removal is a critical parameter in commercial refining, as it directly influences the overall process effectiveness; therefore, the selection of appropriate bleaching agents is crucial. The limited effectiveness of Bleaching Earth (BE) in refining crude palm oil (CPO) to meet color standards poses a challenge. To improve BE's performance, natural bentonite was modified with nano-SiO₂ through a facile-mixing method. Bentonite was modified with nano-SiO2 in concentrations of 5, 10, and 15% w/v, to assess the effectiveness of this modified bentonite in the CPO bleaching process. Bleaching was conducted at 90°C with a BE concentration of 0.5% w/v for 30 minutes. Characterization confirmed successful integration of modified Bentonite indicated by enhancing surface area. Bentonite modified with 15% nano-SiO2 showed a significant improvement in bleaching performance, reducing β-carotene content to 553.84 ppm compared to 630.36 ppm with unmodified bentonite. The red/yellow color value also decreased to 1.5/15 from the original CPO value of 2.1/21, along with a reduction in FFA value. The results of this study indicate that modifying bentonite with nano silica oxide offers a solution to reduce the amount of bentonite used in the bleaching process.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the leading Pulp and paper producers globally, with an estimated annual growth rate of 3.5%. However, domestic production has not yet fully met the domestic needs and export demand for paper. Currently, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are the primary bleaching agents used in Pulp and paper production. This research aims to evaluate the effects of H2O2, ClO2, and temperature on product quality parameters, specifically the tensile and tear indices. The variations of ClO2 used are 2%, 0.4%, and 0.7%; H2O2 concentrations are 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4%; and the temperatures used are 75°C and 85°C. The study found that the addition of ClO2 at a concentration of 0.7% resulted in the highest tensile index of 76.9 N.m/g and a tear index of 3.5 m.N.m²/g. The addition of H2O2 at a concentration of 0.1% resulted in a tensile index of 83.9 N.m/g and a tear index of 9.4 m.N.m²/g. Temperature variations did not significantly affect the tensile and tear indices, with the tensile index reaching 9.35 m.N.m²/g. The addition of H2O2 is essential as it enhances the bleaching process and improves the mechanical properties of the Pulp, which is beneficial for optimizing bleaching conditions to enhance product quality, thus meeting both domestic needs and export demands

Abstract

SMA Yadika 5 has one of the goals, namely "Providing knowledge and skills in the field of entrepreneurship and plant cultivation that are beneficial for students and the surrounding environment". In cultivating plants, supporting materials such as organic fertilizer are needed. Coconut juice is often used as a cooking ingredient in household activities, where the pulp from coconut juice that is no longer used can generally be reprocessed into organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer can improve the chemical, physical and biological fertility of the soil, in addition to being a source of nutrients for plants. Organic fertilizer made from coconut pulp waste for plants can be one way to carry out the goals of SMA Yadika 5. In addition, it can be a solution for agriculture or plantations for housewives or family members of SMA Yadika 5 students in urban areas. Based on the analysis of the situation around us, it turns out that teenagers are interested in learning this knowledge but have not had the opportunity because there has been no training and counseling in managing waste. The target of this training in managing household organic waste from coconut pulp is male and female teenagers at SMA Yadika 5, Kembangan District, West Jakarta.
