Abstract

Investigation on microwave technique to extract pectin from cocoa pod husk in this study carries out using citric acid and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Extraction proceeds at various microwave powers (180, 300, 450, 600 Watt) and irradiation periods (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes). This study observed effect of power and time to yield and quality of pectin.  Yield of pectin increased at elevated power and time either with citric acid or HCl solvent. Overall pectin quality in this study meet the IPPA quality factor exclude water content which relatively higher. MAE treatment with citric acid using microwave power of 300 Watt for 30 minutes resulted yield of 42% and high pectin quality as compare to MAE treatment with HCl. The best pectin product in this study has moisture content of 8%, ash content of 10%, equivalent weight of 714.29 mg, methoxyl content of 4.8% and galacturonate level of 43%. ©2020. CBIORE-IJRED.

Abstract

Indonesia still relies heavily on fossil energy, therefore, the development of renewable alternative energy sources is essential. Biomass is one of the potential renewable energy sources that can be further developed, including rice husk and teak wood sawdust waste. Both materials contain cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which can be converted into tar through the pyrolysis process. This study aims to determine the characteristics of tar produced from the pyrolysis of rice husk and teak wood sawdust as an alternative energy source. The pyrolysis process was conducted at a temperature of 600oC with varying durations of 60, 120, and 150 minutes. The analyses included yield, density, viscosity, calorific value, acid number, moisture content, and chemical composition of the tar. The highest yield obtained was 7.98%; moisture content 9.22%; density 0.893 g/mL; viscosity 3.90 cSt; acid number 2.90%; and calorific value 4.329,485 kal/g. The GC–MS analysis results showed that the tar compounds derived from the mixture of rice husk and teak wood sawdust were predominantly composed of phenolic compounds.
