Abstract

Milkfish (Chanos chanos) is famous for Indonesian and has high economic value. Milkfish bone can be processed into flour. A milkfish bone sample was obtained from the Sioyong Market in Dampelas, Donggala. The purpose of this study was to determine the calcium (Ca) levels in milkfish bone using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The sample preparation method used dry destruction with sample ignition. The results showed that the average calcium levels in the flesh and head bones of milkfish aged two months were 0.052 ± 0.0007% and 0.132 ± 0.0056%, while those at aged five months milkfish were 0.197 ± 0.0014% and 0.138 ± 0 0007%, respectively. This study concludes that the older the age of milkfish is, the higher the calcium levels in the bones.

Abstract

Tin fruit is an essential source of bioactive components such as phenol, benzaldehyde, and flavonoids due to the antioxidant properties. Analysis of flavonoid levels on Tin (Ficus carica Linn) fruit was carried out using Uv-Vis spectrophotometry. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid levels found in Tin (Ficus carica Linn) fruit with a variety of samples of raw, half-ripe, and riped. Extraction of chemical content in Tin (Ficus carica Linn) was carried out by maceration method with ethanol 70%. Total flavonoid levels of the extracts sample were determined through absorption measurements at a wavelength of 520 nm and 700 nm. The results showed that total flavonoid levels in raw, half-ripe, and ripe fruits are 5.778 × 103, 3.056 × 103, and 3.707 × 103 mg/L, respectively, or equivalent to 17334 × 103, 9.168 × 103, and 11.121 × 103 mg/100g, respectively.

Abstract

Rice husk is one of the by-products of the rice milling process that can be used as activated charcoal to adsorb metal ions. This study aimed to determine the optimum pH and adsorption capacity of Cd(II) ions by activated charcoal made of rice husk using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method. Determination of the optimum pH adsorption of activated charcoal was carried out by varying the pH of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Based on the analysis results of the optimum pH for metal adsorption, pH 7 with percent absorbed metal 99.94%, while adsorption of Cd(II) ions using activated charcoal was carried out with several variations of concentration to study adsorption isotherm. The adsorption isotherm model of activated charcoal adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm model. The results of this analysis obtained that the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of Cd(II) ions were 2.068 mg Cd/g.
