Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaf is a good source of phenolic compounds that are reported to exhibit antioxidant activity both in vitro and in vivo. This study investigated the extraction of phenolic compounds from Moringa oleifera leaf using subcritical water. Experiments were performed in a batch stainless steel reactor at temperature ranging from 100 to 300oC at residence time of 5 to 20 min. Subcritical water extraction resulted the highest yield of product, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity at temperature of 200oC at residence time of 15 minutes. The yield of product, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity obtained were 30.661%, 48.733 mg tannat acids/ g dry powder of extract and 45.863 mg ascorbic acid/L, respectively. Subcritical water at 200°C and 15 min might be a good substitute to organic solvents such as ethanol to obtain phenolic compounds from Moringa oleifera leaf.

Abstract

A modified in situ esterification was employed for the economic competitiveness of biodiesel production from rice bran.  The effects of methanol to rice bran ratio, acid catalysts, and reaction time on the biodiesel yield and purity were investigated. Biodiesel yield and purity of 17.99% and 67.04%, respectively, were obtained used acid catalyst (H2SO4) of 2.37%, ratio of methanol and rice bran of 15 (mL/g), and 5 h of reaction time.  Recovery of crude biodiesel obtained was 92.45%. Based on the proposed method, the production process of biodiesel could be simplified and improved; therefore, the production cost probably could be reduced further.
