Abstract

Preparation of cellulose film from nata de pina, a product of pinapple fermentation, using acetobacter xylinum was done at room temperature for 15 days. The aim of the research is to investigate the effect of sugar concentration and pH on film quality. The fermentation run at sugar concentration of 0, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5% and at pH of 3, 5 and 7. Results show that the best nata de pina was obtained at sugar concentration of 10% and pH 5. At these conditions, maximum nata precipitates rendemen was 26,80%, with a moisture content of 80,55%, and the thickness of 3,30 cm. The product nata then can be used to produce cellulose film. The characteristic of the produced film were 8,20 Kgf/mm2 and 11,71% for maximum tensile strength and elongation, respectively.Keywords: acetobacter xylinum, film, nata de pina, selulosa

Abstract

Water quality assessment in the tsunami-affected areas conducted in Meuraxa and Kutaradja sub-districts in the area of Banda Aceh City. Water samples were collected in October 2006 from dug wells of tsunami-affected areas. These were characterized for various physical and chemical parameters. Water quality in the selected areas has shown that the surface water was contaminated due to the tsunami. Total Dissolved Solid, Total Suspended Solid, Acidity, and salinity were high in the affected areas indicating saline water intrusion into surface water tables. Dug wells in the highly affected locations showed higher values of heavy metal ions like Mn, Pb, Cu, Fe, Zn, and Cu compared to the reference points. No ion Hg was found in all samples.
