Abstract

Reactive black 5 (RB5) is an azo dye widely used in the textile industry for dyeing fabrics. It is categorized as a recalcitrant dye that is hard to degrade and an environmental pollutant. Therefore, textile waste effluents containing this dye must be treated to remove or degrade the dye, before being released into the environment. One method that can be used to degrade synthetic dyes such as RB5 is to use biological methods, by directly using live fungal cells or using laccase enzymes. Trichoderma asperellum LBKURCC1 is a filamentous fungus isolated from cacao plantation soil in Riau, Indonesia, and it is a laccase enzyme producer. To be able to determine the ability of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 life cultures to decolorize RB5 dye, several RB5 dye removal tests were carried out. Incubation of 50 ppm RB5 with life cultures of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 at room temperature (30°C, pH 6.5) for 24 hours resulted in 22% bioremediation, 3.2% biosorption and 19.1% biodegradation of the RB5 dye.  The results of this study show that the live culture of T.asperellum LBKURCC1 is capable of biodegrading RB5. This is indicated by the degradation of RB5 by extracellular enzymes produced by these filamentous fungi.

Abstract

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a plant that provides various health benefits due to its pharmacologically active compounds. Nevertheless, the community’s limited knowledge and skills in utilizing and processing butterfly pea into herbal tea bags underline the importance of this community service activity. Processing butterfly pea into herbal tea serves as an effective approach to make its health benefits more accessible for daily use. This program aimed to enhance community knowledge about the health properties of butterfly pea, improve their skills in producing herbal tea bags, and encourage its development as a household-scale product with market potential, given its simple and low-cost processing method. The target beneficiaries were residents of Dayang Suri Village, Bunga Raya Subdistrict, Siak Regency with 55 participants. Program achievements were measured by determining the increased knowledge and skills in processing butterfly pea into herbal tea bags, as well as growing interest in its commercialization. Pre- and post-test results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ average scores from 45% to 87%, with a statistically significant paired t-test result (α=0.05).
