Abstract

This community service aims to improve the quality of chemistry learning at SMA Negeri 45 Maluku Tengah, which has limited laboratory facilities. The majority of students come from farming and fishing families, offering potential for integrating local natural resources into contextual learning. The main challenge for the school is the scarcity of practical tools and materials, leading to difficulties for students in understanding abstract chemical concepts and reducing their interest in learning. Based on these issues, community service activities were designed to introduce simple laboratory tools and materials and develop students' experimental skills. The methodology included preparing materials and equipment (glassware, common reagents), forming a mentoring team consisting of chemistry lecturers and students, socializing the activities, conducting direct practical sessions in small groups with demonstrations, as well as analyzing results and discussions. The results showed an improvement in students' understanding and interest through active participation in practical sessions on introducing glassware, acid-base titration, hydrogen gas formation, and carbon dioxide gas identification tests. Direct observation and question-and-answer sessions indicated that students were able to understand the function of tools, perform titrations correctly, observe chemical reactions, and identify gases. The evaluation demonstrated the program's effectiveness in enhancing students' understanding and practical skills, bridging the theory-practice gap, and fostering interest in chemistry learning

Abstract

Banyak kandungan senyawa kimia bermanfaat dalam makroalga yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi tetapi belum diteliti secara luas, seperti pigmen fotosintesis. Peningkatan kebutuhan pigmen fotosintesis pada dunia industri menyebabkan pencarian sumber alternatif pigmen fotosintesis masih terus dilakukan diantaranya dari makroalga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahuipengaruh lama penyimpanan ekstrak kasar makroalga Ulva lactuca terhadap kestabilan pigmen fotosintesis. Tahapan penelitian meliputi, isolasi pigmen fotosintesis, pemurnian menggunakan kromatografi kolom silika, karakterisasi pigmen fotosintesis dengan KLT dan spektrofotometer UV–Vis. Hasil KLT dari ekstrak kasar Ulva lactuca menunjukkan perbedaan jumlah dan jenis pigmen fotosintesis yang mencolok antara ekstrak kasar Ulva lactuca yang lansung diekstrak dan yang dibiarkan kurang lebih 3 hari. Pada hasil kromarogram menunjukkan ada 7 fraksi pigmen fotosintesis dan memiliki warna yang sangat mencolok yang diekstrak secara langsung sedangkan ekstrak kasar yang dibiarkan kurang lebih 3 hari menunjukkan hanya 5 fraksi pigmen fotosintesis dengan warna yang pucat. Fraksinasi dengan kromatografi kolom silika gel menunjukkan adanya pigmen fotosintesis sebanyak 29 fraksi. Setelah diindentifikasi dengan spektofotometer UV–Vis ada 4 fraksi utama yaitu ß-karoten, fukoxantin, klorofil a,dan feofitin a. Lama penyimpanan terhadap ekstrak kasar Ulva lactuca mempengaruhi pigmen fotosintesis secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif.

Abstract

Maluku possesses substantial agricultural potential, particularly in peanut cultivation, which is extensively practiced in Uwen Pantai Village, East Taniwel Sub-district, West Seram Regency. Groundnut cultivation thrives due to favorable land conditions, minimal maintenance requirements, and relatively short harvest cycles of 3–4 months. The competitive market price positions peanuts as a promising commodity for enhancing community welfare. However, current peanut production and marketing practices remain predominantly traditional, operating at limited scales without adherence to market standards. This community empowerment program aims to enhance local capacity in roasted peanut processing through the introduction of modified rotating sand roaster technology. Employing a transformative learning approach, community members receive comprehensive training in technology application and market-oriented business management. The modified rotating sand roaster features innovative blunt blades positioned strategically within the sample tube to facilitate uniform heat distribution, ensuring consistent product quality with distinctive roasted flavor and aroma. The program encompasses socialization activities, participatory training, technology application, and continuous mentoring in production, packaging, and marketing. Initial implementation results demonstrate significant improvements: production capacity increased from small batches to 5–10 kg per cycle (2–3 hours), product packaging advanced from plain plastic to full-color labeled aluminum foil, and profit margins reached 84.48%. This initiative is expected to improve product quality and competitiveness, expand market access, facilitate business legalization, and ultimately contribute to post-pandemic economic recovery in Uwen Pantai Village.Abstract A maximum of 250 Indonesian words printed in italics with Cambria 10 point.

Abstract

Southwest Maluku, particularly Kisar Island, has abundant natural resources that can be optimally managed to address food shortages. Meeting food needs through local wisdom is an essential capital that must be strengthened by both the government and the community. One of the island’s local potentials is the koli tree (Borassus flabellifer L.), which grows widely in Oirata Village. Its sap can be processed into koli palm sugar, which is highly nutritious and economically valuable. Unlike other sugar sources, the koli tree grows naturally without cultivation and can be tapped at any time. However, its production has not yet been properly managed to meet market demand. Through the Community Partnership Program, we introduced appropriate technology in the form of palm sugar cooking equipment to improve both the quality and quantity of koli palm sugar. This innovation is expected to expand its market beyond Kisar Island. The program includes community socialization, training on equipment use, production assistance, and product packaging with proper labeling, aiming to empower the people of Oirata Village and enhance their local enterprises.

Abstract

West Seram Regency has a coconut plantation area of 8,326.10 hectares, with a total production of 7,390.5 tons and an average productivity of 0.89 tons per hectare. Nearly all parts of the coconut plant can be utilized, including the trunk, leaves, fruit, husk, and shell. The use of mature coconuts for copra production is one of the ways to increase the income of coastal communities, particularly in Saweli Village, located in West Seram Regency. However, copra production in Saweli Village, which is generally carried out using traditional or home-industry methods, has not yet reached optimal results in terms of production time and output quantity. One of the main challenges faced by the community is the lengthy process of removing the coconut husk and shell during copra production. The current pre-processing stage remains conventional, as coconuts are peeled manually using traditional tools. Therefore, through this Community Empowerment Program (PMS), we aim to introduce transformative learning to help develop and empower the local community, particularly in Saweli Village, Taniwel District, West Seram Regency, Maluku. This initiative focuses on supporting small-scale entrepreneurs whose production processes have not yet met market standards.

Abstract

This study evaluated the acid-catalyzed production of biodiesel from Calabash (Crescentia cujete) seed oil using sulfuric and nitric acids as transesterification catalysts. Oil extracted by Soxhlet extraction yielded 35.20% and was converted into biodiesel under various reaction conditions to determine the optimum catalyst loading, reaction time, temperature, and oil-to-methanol molar ratio. Sulfuric acid exhibited superior catalytic performance, achieving the highest biodiesel yield of 91.20% at 4% catalyst loading, 65 °C, 4 h, and an oil-to-methanol molar ratio of 1:12. Under optimum conditions, nitric acid produced a lower yield of 65.85% at 3% catalyst loading, 65 °C, 6 h, and a molar ratio of 1:9. GC-MS analysis identified seven methyl esters in the sulfuric acid-derived biodiesel, predominantly methyl hexadecanoate (16.93%), methyl stearate (15.07%), and methyl 9-octadecenoate (43.64%). Biodiesel synthesized using nitric acid contained eight methyl esters, with methyl hexadecanoate (16.55%), methyl stearate (26.90%), and methyl 9-hexadecenoate (21.51%) as the major components. The corresponding burning rates were 1.96 × 10⁻³ and 2.71 × 10⁻³ cm²/s for sulfuric and nitric acid catalysts, respectively. Overall, sulfuric acid proved more effective, producing higher biodiesel yield in a shorter reaction time and demonstrating the potential of C. cujete seed oil as a non-edible biodiesel feedstock.

Abstract

Activated carbon is a cheap carbon material with high specific surface area, porosity, and electrical conductivity. This fact makes the various applications of activated carbon as an adsorbent, water treatment, and energy sector. Activated carbon dispersion studies facilitate the application of activated carbon as a primary material in the design of electrodes in fuel cells and batteries. In this study, dispersion studies of activated carbon were carried out in an aqueous system using surface active agents (surfactants) Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), and Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80). The ratio of activated carbon to surfactants varies from 1:0–1:5 for each surfactant. The UV-Vis spectrophotometer measurements at a wavelength of 200–500 nm showed that Tween 80 surfactant with a 0,05 g activated carbon with 3 mL Tween 80 could disperse activated carbon in water solvents better than CTAB and SDS.
