Abstract

Psidium guajava has a high content of vitamin C as an antioxidant that is easily damaged. One way to make it stable with stabilizers in the form of hydrocolloids, which are commonly used is carboxymethyl cellulose (Na CMC). The study aims to determine the effect of CMC addition on guava juice drinks with variations in temperature and storage duration and determine the shelf life. Methods include characterization of CMC (water content, organoleptic and viscosity, pH, NaCl content and purity). Guava juice beverage formulation was made by varying CMC concentration (organoleptic, viscosity, pH and vitamin C content). The best result (0.5% w/b) was continued with temperature treatment of 26°C and 16°C, and observation for 25 days. The results showed that CMC had a purity of 98.54% with NaCl of 1.46% and other results showed that it met the SNI/FAO requirements. The test of CMC addition proved to be able to stabilize the juice based on the viscosity of each treatment, but reduced the level of acidity at 16°C. The 26°C treatment changed color and odor on day 10 while at 16°C it lasted until day 20. Vitamin C content showed that on days 10-15 the treatment stored at 26°C decreased to 0.1 mg/g while at 16°C it was stable until day 25. Determination of shelf life using a mathematical model of degradation kinetics.

Abstract

Nanomaterial telah banyak mendapat perhatian para peneliti dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, karena sifat fisika dan kimianya yang unik, yang berperan dalam meningkatkan performa dan keamanan penggunaan piroteknik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah sintesis nanopartikel besi oksida (Fe₂O₃) menggunakan ekstrak daun Salam (Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp.), dan penggunaannya dalam piroteknik Al/Mg/KNO₃. Nanopartikel Fe₂O₃ dikarakterisasi menggunakan Ultra Violet Visible-Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV Vis-DRS), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), dan Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Pengaruh penambahan nanopartikel Fe₂O₃ diuji menggunakan kalorimeter bom. Panas pembakaran piroteknik Al/Mg/KNO₃ hasil pengujian adalah sebesar 6,35 kJ/gr, dan dengan penambahan nanopartikel Fe₂O₃ adalah sebesar 7,12 kJ/gr.

Abstract

Used cooking oil (UCO) contains peroxide and FFA, which can impede UCO processing and lower the quality of downstream products. The majority of pretreatment techniques currently in use have drawbacks, such as excessive chemical use. An alternative that is more successful and efficient is photocatalysis. No research has been conducted on the photodegradation of UCO using TiO2/ZnO/CuO/HDTMA-Br composites. Precipitation was used to create the composite. The TiO2/ZnO/CuO composite has a high crystallinity, specifically 74.54% in the 1 CMC-modified catalyst, according to the characterization results. The spectrum of the synthesized TiO2/ZnO/CuO composite showed the presence of H2O and CO2 groups in addition to the primary groups of TiO2, ZnO, and CuO. Additionally, the 1 CMC modification increased pore volume and surface area. The surfactant-modified composite exhibited a more consistent morphology, as observed by SEM analysis. The best results from photocatalytic testing at different temperatures, times, and surfactant concentrations were obtained at 120 °C for an hour with a surfactant concentration of 1 CMC. These results show that degradation using TiO2/ZnO/CuO photocatalysts can lower the FFA and peroxide contents of UCO by 65% and 59%, respectively, under ideal conditions. This study focuses on FFA and peroxide value parameters as a preliminary investigation into alternative UCO pretreatment solutions. Copyright © 2026 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.
