Abstract

This study aimed to optimize the ultrasonic–cellulase extraction (UCE) method for recovering polyphenolic compounds with high antioxidant activity from pineapple peel waste. Pineapple peel is an abundant agro-industrial byproduct containing valuable phenolic compounds with potential applications in functional foods. The extraction process was optimized by varying several parameters, including the solvent-to-sample ratio (10–50 mL/g), enzyme concentration (5–25%), pH (3–7), temperature (30°C–70°C), ultrasonic amplitude (30–70%), and extraction time (30–150 min). The optimal conditions were achieved at a solvent-to-sample ratio of 50 mL/g, enzyme concentration of 15%, pH of 6, temperature of 50°C, ultrasonic amplitude of 70%, and extraction time of 120 min, yielding the highest total phenolic content of 37.80 ± 4.21 mg GAE/g. Comparative analysis showed that the UCE method produced higher polyphenolic content (28.04 ± 1.08 mg GAE/g) and stronger antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ = 9.27 µg/mL) than enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) or ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) alone. These findings confirm the synergistic effect of ultrasonic cavitation and enzymatic hydrolysis, which enhances the release of bioactive compounds. This study highlights UCE as an effective, green, and energy-efficient technology for transforming pineapple peel waste into natural antioxidants, contributing to sustainable food processing and environmental conservation.

Abstract

This study explores the potential of tofu waste as a cost-effective alternative growth medium for cultivating Spirulina sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata, addressing the high costs of traditional nutrient media that limit large-scale applications. Despite the nutrient richness of tofu waste, its use as a sustainable growth substrate remains underexplored. This research aims to fill this gap by evaluating the growth performance and nutritional suitability of these microalgae in tofu-based media compared to standard controls. The cultivation process was conducted in a closed photobioreactor system, with harvesting methods including flocculation, centrifugation, and filtration. Results showed that tofu waste media supported biomass production comparable to standard cultivation media, with the highest biomass concentrations recorded at the 20% tofu waste treatment, yielding 0.23 ± 0.05 g L-1 for Spirulina sp. and 0.53 ± 0.2 g L-1 for Nannochloropsis oculata. At this concentration, the final COD levels were 840.84 mg L-1and 825.90 mg L-1, respectively. The lipid and protein contents were 2.44% and 1.71% for Spirulina sp., and 1.21% and 1.50% for Nannochloropsis oculata, respectively. These findings demonstrate that tofu waste can serve as an effective and low-cost growth substrate for Spirulina sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata, promoting circular economy principles within many sectors such as energy, food, and agriculture. This study underscores the potential of waste utilization to enhance the sustainability and economic viability of microalgae cultivation.

Abstract

The process of processing batik liquid waste using membrane technology has been implemented to overcome the problem of batik waste in the Sekar Buen Batik IKM Area through a community service program. The method used is the batik liquid waste filtration technique using a membrane. This community service activity is an effort to help strengthen the human resources of the batik industry community in the liquid waste processing process at the Sekar Buen Batik IKM located in North Penajam Paser. The activity has been carried out in several stages, including a preliminary survey, a discussion forum on batik waste problems with a partner team, making a design for a waste processing system based on membrane technology and working practices for the tool. This program can help partners in processing batik wastewater so that it can reduce its negative impact on the environment. The results of the program show that partners have an understanding of the technique of processing batik liquid waste based on membrane technology. Thus, industrial activities at the Sekar Buen Batik IKM can support the green industry area and be more environmentally friendly.
