Abstract

Most mosquito repellent lotions available on the market today contain the active ingredient diethyltoluamide (DEET) which is very harmful to the skin. Natural mosquito repellent research using various essential oils (geranium oil, lemon oil, citronella oil and lavender oil) as the active ingredient and the addition of aloe vera gel as a moisturizer has been done on a laboratory scale. The purpose of this study was to compare the protection ability of the mosquito repellent plants in Indonesia. The results showed that geranium oil, lemongrass oil, lavender oil and lemon oil could act as mosquito repellent. Best lotion formula all containing 15% essential oils have the effectiveness above 50% until the sixth hour were geranium oil, citronella oil and lavender oil while lemon oil only giving effectiveness above 50% until the second hour.

Abstract

Corn starch-based films are inherently brittle and lack the necessary mechanical integrity for conventional packaging. However, the incorporation of additives can potentially improve the mechanical properties and processability of starch films. In this work sunflower oil (SO) and vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) at three levels each (0.05%, 0.1% and 0.15% (w/vtotal)) and (0.18%, 0.36% and 0.54% (w/vtotal)) were incorporated into corn starch films using a solution casting method to improve the mechanical and water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) properties. The addition of SO and vitamin E increased elongation at break of starch-based film while decreased tensile strength and WVTR of starch-based film. The best edible film obtained on addition of sunflower oil concentration of 0.15% and 0.54%, vitamin E with a value of 0.121 mm thickness, tensile strength of 65.38 kg/cm2, elongation at break 14.17% and WVTR 1144 g/m2 24 hours.

Abstract

Cellulase is an important enzyme for industry which can be obtained from cheap tropical agrowastes such as durian peel. West Kalimantan, in particular Pontianak city produces tons of durian peel waste during harvest season each year. This study used durian peel waste as substrates and A. niger to produce cellulase, The aim of this study is to determine the optimum incubation time in producing cellulase under solid state fermentation. Different incubation time (48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 hours) were applied for the production of cellulase. The optimum cellulase production was 120 hours of incubation, givingĀ  protein content of 0.3960% and enzyme activity of 1,069.01 ppm, respectively.
