Abstract

Dyes are significant components in Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) performance because they act as photosensitizers. Natural dye-based DSSC system fabrication innovations continue to be produced in an effort to improve DSSC performance efficiency. In this study, a DSSC system was developed using double components of natural dyes as natural photosensitizers to enhance DSSC efficiency. This method of making natural dye-based DSSC uses a combination of dye extracts from two different dye sources that have the potential as natural photosensitizers in DSSC. The research aims to investigate the impact of the combined use of two natural dyes and pH variations on DSSC performance. DSSC performance measurements encompass the short-circuit current (Isc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and DSSC efficiency parameters. The obtained results indicate efficiency values for dyes (a) sappan wood/ethanol and turmeric/methanol; (b) turmeric/methanol and beetroot/ethanol; and (c) beetroot/ethanol and turmeric/distilled water. At neutral pH, the efficiency values are 2.09%, 2.10%, and 2.19%, respectively. Meanwhile, at acidic pH of 2.59%; 2.39%; and 2.71%. Notably, the dye efficiency values at acidic pH surpass those found at neutral pH conditions. The highest efficiency is observed in the combination of dye (c) beetroot/ethanol and turmeric/distilled water with efficiency reaching 2.71% at acidic pH.

Abstract

Cassava can be processed into chips, which have a special appeal with their distinctive flavour and crunchy texture. Cassava chip production creates profits for cassava farmers and is a major industry in some regions. Improving product quality involves various control measures, including handling and packaging of the final product. The frying and draining process is an important factor in extending the shelf life and inhibiting oxidation of a product. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of appropriate technology (TTG) draining machines on the nutrition and shelf life of cassava chips products. The results showed that the total fat, saturated fat, protein and carbohydrate content of cassava chips products as a result of TTG were 4.91%; 2.26%; 3.11%; 81.01%, respectively. The shelf life of the chips was 5.25 months (157.5 or 158 days). The results of the organoleptic test of cassava chips in terms of colour, aroma, texture and overall liking level received a positive response from the community, both teenagers and adults. The aspects of aroma, taste, texture and colour as well as the overall level of liking with a percentage level of 80% (seblak daun jeruk), 58% (fried chicken), 61% (rendang), and 56% (grilled chicken).
