Abstract

Mocaf (Modified Cassava Flour) is a modified cassava flour made through a fermentation process using microbes. One of the microbes that can be used for mocaf fermentation is Acetobacter xylinum . In this research, cassava tubers were fermented into mocaf flour with the help of a starter of Acetobacter xylinum bacteria. This research was conducted to determine the effect of starter A. xylinum's concentration and fermentation time on the characteristics of mocaf flour. The research method used OFAT (One Factor at A Time). The research consists of the making flour process (sorting, stripping, washing, slicing, fermentation, drying, milling, and sifting) and analyzing samples. The variations of starter A. xylinum concentration used were 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. While the variations of fermentation time were 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 60 hours, and 72 hours. The Parameters analyzed were % mass, moisture content, ash content, acid level, HCN content, and crude fiber content. The results showed that the starter concentration and fermentation time affected the percent mass (P-value <0.05). The mocaf flour that passes SNI is fermented cassava with a starter concentration of 15-25% and a fermentation time of 48-72 hours.

Abstract

Turmeric is commonly a spice with many benefits in improving health, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The preparation of turmeric crude drug usually uses conventional sun drying. However, the quality of crude drugs is uncontrollable. The alternative using a modern drying process may affect the antioxidant properties of the final crude drug. This research aims to investigate the effect of drying methods (cabinet drying at 30oC and 70oC, infrared (IR), and conventional sun drying) on the antioxidant activity of turmeric crude drugs. The moisture content and its chemical compounds, including Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC), were also investigated. Antioxidant activity was measured using DPPH free radical scavenging and Feri Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) method. The results showed that the moisture content of dried turmeric samples from cabinet drying at 70 C and sun drying was less than 10%. TPC of all dried turmeric from modern drying methods was significantly higher than conventional sun drying and the same as TFC results, except for the sample from the IR method. The antioxidant activity of dried curcumin from IR drying was significantly higher than that of another sample in the FRAP method. However, the higher antioxidant of dried turmeric using the DPPH free radical scavenging showed in dried turmeric from cabinet drying at 70 C and sun drying. The results of the antioxidant activity of the dried turmeric crude drug did not correlate with the TPC and TFC data as predicted using Pearson’s Correlation. Thus, it can be concluded that the drying methods influenced the antioxidant activity of turmeric crude drug, and it did not correlate with phenolic and flavonoid content.

Abstract

Rice bran oil is the result of oil extraction from rice bran. Extraction solvent proccessing conducted using ethanol. Rice bran oil can be used as a consuming oil and materials for making cosmetics.This research aimed to find effect of rice bran size, ethanol volume, extraction time and its interaction toward yield of rice bran oil. This research include pure experimental study based on explorative factorial design to find the most influencing factors. The low level of rice bran size is 0.014 mm, beside the high level is 0.085 mm. The volume of ethanol that are used in this research, 250 ml as low level and 400 ml as high level. And then 120 minute as low level of extraction time whereas 240 minute as its high level. Data analysis of yield was done with Minitab software Release 16 with 95% level of confidence.The results show that the size of rice bran was dominant in determining the most influencing factors.

Abstract

Based on data from the Indonesian Biofuel Producers Association 2022, biodiesel production will reach 10.8 billion liters, producing crude glycerol of 10-20% of the total product volume in the transesterification process. Crude Glycerol is a by-product of making biodiesel with low purity because it still contains impurities such as methanol, free fatty acids, KOH catalysts, and water. These impurity compounds must be removed so that the quality of glycerol increases and has a high selling value. Adsorption is one method that can be used to absorb these impurity compounds. This research aims to determine the effect of adsorbent weight, adsorption time, and temperature on glycerol purity levels. This experimental research uses an exploratory factorial design method to determine the most influential factors. The low level of adsorbent weight used is 9%, while the high level of adsorbent weight is 15%. The low-level adsorption time is 60 minutes and the high level is 90 minutes. The adsorption temperature used is a low level of 40℃ and a high level of 80℃. The research results showed that the weight of the adsorbent was the factor that had the most influence on the purity level of glycerol
