Abstract

Durian (Durio zibethinus) peel is a major agro-waste with high lignocellulosic content and functional groups, making it a promising precursor for activated carbon. This study synthesized and characterized activated carbon from South Lampung durian peel using potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation at 0 M, 1 M, and 2 M. Proximate analysis (moisture and ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon) was conducted, and exponential regression models were developed to examine the effect of KOH concentration. Results showed significant effects (p < 0.05) of KOH on all parameters. Moisture decreased from 59.23±2.02% to 7.19±3.27%, ash from 6.29±0.31% to 1.45±0.52%, and volatile matter from 7.81±0.45% to 2.09±0.02%, while fixed carbon increased from 84.88±0.31% to 89.72±0.52%. All parameters followed exponential trends with high R² values, indicating strong model fit. These findings confirmed that KOH activation improves activated carbon quality, and exponential models provide predictive insight. Therefore, durian peel from South Lampung is promising for high-quality activated carbon production.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) are one of the food ingredients that have complete nutritional content at an affordable price. These leaves are found in several regions of Indonesia, including Lampung Selatan. However, a notable drawback of MOL is its limited shelf life, and it is commonly transformed into Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) to enhance longevity. This study aims to explore the physicochemical properties of MOLP from Lampung Selatan, which has not been widely examined. This approach used in this study was quantitative descriptive. The results showed that the MOLP from Lampung Selatan had showed  L* value of 59.36, a* value of -8.05, and b* value of 23.36. It additionally revealed 21.10% protein, 3.49% fat content, 0.73% ash content, 5.83% moisture content, 68.84% carbohydrate content, 6.87% crude fiber content, and 15.47% starch. These results indicate that the MOLP from Lampung Selatan had a green colour, high in protein and crude fiber content, and low in fat and starch content. Therefore, MOLP from Lampung Selatan exhibits encouraging potential as a functional food ingredient in the development of food products requiring a high protein and fiber content at an affordable price.
