Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of moist heat processing (boiling, steaming, autoclaving) on the physical properties of Moringa oleifera seed flour to determine the optimal pretreatment for product development. Exotesta of moringa seeds were removed, subjected to the treatments, oven-dried, grounded, and sieved (60 mesh). Moisture content, color (CIELab), bulk density, and angle of repose were analyzed. Results showed that all treatments increased moisture content compared to raw seeds (4,36–4,46%), with no significant difference among treatments. Autoclaving produced flour with the highest bulk density (0,4258 g/cm³) and lowest angle of repose (33,37°), indicating better flowability. Color analysis revealed darker flour in autoclaved and boiled samples due to Maillard reactions. Overall, autoclaving is the most effective pretreatment for producing denser, free-flowing Moringa seed flour suitable for functional food applications.

Abstract

This study evaluates the use of Paper Mill Sludge (PMS) waste as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in paving block production, focusing on compressive strength and economic feasibility. PMS was incorporated at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the total fine aggregate weight. Compressive strength tests followed the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 03-0691-1996), accompanied by production cost analysis. The results showed that 5% PMS achieved the highest compressive strength of 264.23 kg/cm², about 7.7% higher than the control 258.71 kg/cm², meeting the SNI quality class B (K200) standard. Meanwhile, 10% PMS reduced production costs by 6–8% while still satisfying the minimum requirement for K200 paving blocks (category B). This demonstrates a clear trade-off between mechanical performance and cost efficiency, where 5% PMS ensures maximum strength, while 10% PMS provides adequate strength with economic benefits. At lower levels, PMS fibers improved cement–aggregate bonding and reduced voids, whereas higher dosages (>10%) disrupted hydration and lowered strength. Practically, PMS utilization offers the paving block industry a sustainable and cost-effective alternative that reduces reliance on natural aggregates, supports waste valorization, and aligns with SNI standards for applications such as parking lots.
