Abstract

Citronella oil (CTO) is extracted from citronella leaves by maceration or steam distillation process, which has antibacterial and insect-repellent activities. However, the use of CTO is limited and requires modification in other formulations, such as microemulsion (ME), to increase its bioactivities. ME consists of oil, water, surfactant and/or cosurfactant and is commonly applied in food and beverages, cosmetics, and carrier for drug delivery applications. CTO was used as the oil phase for ME with nonionic surfactant and ethanol as a cosurfactant for lowering interfacial tension between oil and water phase. Subsequent observations regarding stability and antibacterial tests were carried out on ME formulations with surfactant/cosurfactant mixture of 2 due to its largest ME area. A hydrodynamic diameter analysis was also carried out to see the stability of the ME within a period of 50 d. ME with 10% CTO, 30% surfactant mixture, and 60% water showed the best formulation observed from the consistent hydrodynamic diameter measurement. In addition, ME with different formulations could inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by more than 90%. From this research, CTO-based ME potentially improve and develop drug carrier applications, especially via topical route.

Abstract

MIL-100(Fe) was prepared and subsequently used to remove crystal violet dye from aqueous solutions simulating dye-containing wastewater in the environment. In the future, it is aimed that MIL-100(Fe) can be used in managing dye-containing wastewater in the environment and reducing the negative impacts it can cause. Here, MIL-100(Fe) fabrication needs to be optimized to obtain optimum process conditions, which are environmentally friendly and can produce MIL-100(Fe) with the best characteristics. This study focused on optimizing the fabrication of MIL-100(Fe), which is a type of MOF with good chemical stability, thermal stability, and flexible structure. In this study, the room-temperature fabrication of MIL-100(Fe) was established using a ligand-to-metal molar ratio of 0.95 and an acetic acid concentration of 5.1 vol% for 6.2 h. The optimum MIL-100(Fe) was tested for crystal violet removal and provided an optimum removal capacity of 182.66 ± 3.81 mg/g. Statistical approaches are used to investigate the independent parameters and their interactions contributing to MIL-100(Fe) formation.

Abstract

Indonesia's high population and rapid economic growth are driving a major transformation in the transportation sector, which is in line with the high increase in fuel demand. The need for biofuel as a substitute for conventional fuel is increasingly being prioritized by considering sustainable development goals (SGDs). Biofuel has safer health and environmental impacts than conventional fuel but still has fuel performance that meets fuel standards and engine performance. Biofuels can be derived from a variety of more sustainable and abundant raw materials, such as biomass and vegetable oils. In this review biodiesel, hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), and direct vegetable oil (SVO) are discussed in depth regarding the transformation of their production processes and their impacts on health and the environment. Biodiesel is one of the most widely developed and implemented compared to HVO and SVO to encourage the use of renewable energy in various aspects of people's lives in Indonesia. These three biofuels have different fuel characteristics and performance but can continue to be developed in the future to increase the implementation of renewable energy more massively.

Abstract

Abstrak: Porang merupakan komoditas alam dengan potensi yang besar dimana dapat terus dikembangkan mengingat kebutuhan ekspor yang cukup tinggi. Porang dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi berbagai produk turunan perantara maupun jadi, seperti mie, beras, tepung, dan keripik. Namun, nilai jual porang saat ini mengalami penurunan yang sangat drastis dimana berdampak negatif pada perekonomian petani porang. Berbagai trobosan diupayakan oleh pemerintah Desa Morang, Kecamatan Kare, Kabupaten Madiun untuk menyelamatkan pertanian porang dan perekonomian petani porang. Pemerintah desa menjalin kemitraan dengan Universitas Katolik Widya Mandala Surabaya untuk membuka peluang pengembangan teknologi pengolahan porang dan produk-produk turunannya. Kemitraan ini telah menghasilkan berbagai teknologi tepat guna untuk produksi produk-produk turunan porang dimana salah satunya yaitu mesin penepung porang yang dapat dipergunakan untuk produksi tepung porang. Dengan adanya fasilitas mesin ini, petani porang perlu diberikan wawasan dan keterampilan bisnis untuk memanfaatkan mesin tersebut dalam memproduksi tepung porang. Dalam kegiatan ini, pendampingan diberikan kepada kelompok petani porang di Desa Morang yang terdiri dari sekitar 30 petani dalam bentuk pelatihan penggunaan mesin, diseminasi produk turunan porang dan peluang bisnisnya, serta pendampingan produksi skala kecil. Kegiatan ini dievaluasi dengan sistem kuisioner terkait wawasan dan keterampilan yang diberikan serta pelaksanaan kegiatan ini dimana tingkat keberhasilan dari kegiatan ini mencapai lebih dari 75%.Abstract: Porang is a natural commodity with great potential which can continue to be developed considering the high demand for exports. Porang can be used to make various intermediate and finished derivative products, such as noodles, rice, flour and chips. However, the selling value of porang is currently experiencing a very drastic decline which has a negative impact on the economy of porang farmers. Various breakthroughs have been attempted by the government of Morang Village, Kare Sub-district, Madiun District to save porang farming and the economy of porang farmers. The village government has established a partnership with Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University to open up opportunities for developing technology for processing porang and its derivative products. This partnership has produced various appropriate technologies for the production of porang derivative products, one of which is a porang flour machine which can be used to produce porang flour. With this machine facility, porang farmers need to be given the insight and business skills to use this machine to produce porang flour. In this activity, assistance was provided to a group of porang farmers in Morang Village consisting of around 30 farmers in the form of training on machine use, dissemination of porang derivative products and business opportunities, as well as assistance with small-scale production. This activity was evaluated using a questionnaire system regarding the insights and skills provided as well as the implementation of this activity where the success rate of this activity reached more than 75%.
