Abstract

Research on the effect of acidity level (pH) and sucrose levels of palm sugar has been successfully carried out. This study aims to determine the effect of acidity level (pH) and sucrose levels of palm sugar on the quality of brown sugar produced. The level of acidity (pH) of palm sugar is set at pH (3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). The quality of brown sugar is divided into three categories, namely quality 1 (high), 2 (moderate), and 3 (low). The sucrose content of palm sugar at pH (3 – 7) was determined by the Luff Schoorl method. The quality of brown sugar was determined organoleptically. The results of determining the sucrose content of palm sugar by Luff Schoorl method at pH (3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) were respectively (11.30, 12.25, 14.17, 15.10 and 16.42%). The results of organoleptic determination of brown sugar quality showed that: (1) palm sugar with sucrose content of 11.30% (pH 3) and 12.25% (pH 4) produced low quality brown sugar; (2) palm sugar with sucrose content of 14.17% (pH 5) and 15.10% (pH 6) produced medium quality brown sugar; (3) palm sugar with a sucrose content of 16.42% (pH 7) produces high quality brown sugar. So, the level of acidity (pH) and sucrose levels of palm sugar affect the quality of brown sugar. The lower the pH and sucrose content of palm sugar, the lower the quality of the brown sugar produced. Conversely, the higher the pH and sucrose content of palm sugar, the higher the quality of the brown sugar produced. Therefore, the quality of palm sugar needs to be maintained so that the pH and sucrose content do not decrease so that the brown sugar produced is of high quality. The results of testing the quality of brown sugar based on SNI-01-3743-1995 show that brown sugar produced from palm sugar at pH 5 – 7 meets SNI requirements. Meanwhile, brown sugar produced from palm sugar at pH 3 and 4 does not meet SNI requirements.

Abstract

Research on the extraction of chemical components of Dengen (Dillenia serrata Thumb) leaves using the MAE (microwave-assisted extraction) method and activity as an antioxidant and toxicity test has been carried out. This study aimed to extract the chemical components of Dengen leaves using the MAE method and to test the antioxidant activity and toxicity of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves. The chemical components of Dengen leaves were extracted by the MAE method and obtained ethanol extract with a yield of 47%. Dengen leaves ethanol extract was partitioned with n-hexane and ethanol as solvents and obtained yields of 5% (n-hexane) and 65% (ethanol). The chemical components of Dengen leave ethanol extract were identified by phytochemical screening. The results of phytochemical screening showed the presence of secondary metabolites of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, polyphenols, terpenoids, and steroids. The antioxidant activity test of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves was carried out using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrihydrazil) method and obtained the value of IC50 = 100,363 ppm (strong antioxidant). A toxicity test of the ethanol extract of Dengen leaves was carried out using the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method and obtained the value of LC50 = 18.3443 ppm (very toxic).

Abstract

The degradation of environmental quality has become a global problem today. One way to address this is by providing green open spaces that help maintain environmental quality. Kendari city has a number of green open spaces (RTH) including, RTH in Baruga sub-district, Kendari mayor's office area and in Nanga-nanga botanical garden of Kendari city. This study aims to determine the density and ecological role of ants (Odontomachus sp.) in green open spaces in Kendari city. The method used in this study was hand sorting using ring samples with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 15 cm in a plot measuring 25 m x 25 m consisting of 25 sampling points with a distance of 5 m per point. Data analysis was carried out by calculating the density at each research location, namely Baruga green space, mayor's park and Nanga-nanga botanical garden. The results showed that the highest density of ants (Odontomachus sp.) was found in the mayor's park with 16 ind/m2. The ecological role of ants (Odontomachus sp.) in Kendari city green open space is an important role in bioturbation and natural predators of soil fauna such as termites and earthworms.
