Abstract

The use of synthetic dyes can be harmful to health. While natural dyes are non-toxic, easily degradable and environmentally friendly. Areca nut extract contains tannins and anthocyanins, which are natural pigments that have potential as natural dyes. Natural coloring from areca nut extract is applied to solid soap. Areca seeds are extracted and then dried with three different drying methods, namely the oven, dehydrator and Freeze dryer methods to produce powdered dyes. Different drying of areca nut extracts will produce areca nut extracts with different chemical content. This study aims to determine the results of chemical analysis of soap added with areca nut extract with several different drying methods and determine the best formulation of soap added with areca nut extract and SNI test of solid soap produced by using areca nut extract powder. The research method used is experimental laboratory. The analysis of solid soap preparations carried out includes pH test, water content, foam power and organoleptic test. The research results were processed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the pH of solid soap added with areca nut extract with different drying met the SNI requirements. The water content of areca nut extract solid soap meets SNI requirements, which is no more than 15%. And based on the results of the liking of solid soap according to the organoleptic results of areca nut extract soap with the treatment of drying areca nut extract with dehydrator formula 2 produces areca nut extract solid soap that is most liked by panelists.

Abstract

The processing of rice husk to obtain silica ash has been carried out and then from the results of the silica preparation, the actual silica content was determined. The purpose of this study is to determine the varieties that contain the highest silica from the existing superior varieties. The research method carried out is the experimental method. Sampling of rice husks from six superior rice varieties in West Sumatra was taken from several areas in Regency / City West Sumatra which has superior rice varieties. There are three stages carried out in this study. The first stage was the preparation of the husk for analysis by giving preliminary treatment, the second stage was processing the husk into silica ash and the third stage was determining the silica content of silica ash. The results showed that the superior rice variety with the highest silica content was the IR-42 variety at 95.759%, and the lowest silica content was the Junjuang variety at 93.27%. Meanwhile, based on the silica ash yield obtained, the superior rice variety that has the highest silica ash yield is the Bujang marantau variety which is 8.3%, while the lowest yield is found in the anak daro variety which is 5.5%. Then the variety that has the lowest specific surface area of silica ash is the junjuang variety and the highest is the Kuriak Kusuik variety which is 258.499 m2 /g.
