Abstract

A study has been conducted which aims to synthesize chitosan-citrate using ionic gelation method and its characterization with FTIR, SEM, SAA and PSA, as well as solubility and swelling tests. The results showed that chitosan reacted with sodium citrate produces chitosan-citrate particles. The product of chitosan-citrate has a rough and thickened surface morphology. Surface area of chitosan-citrate obtained is 35.233 m2/g and pore size is 0.027 cc/g, smaller than chitosan. Based on solubility and swelling tests in acidic, alkaline, and neutral media, chitosan-citrate has good resistance and low swelling effect.

Abstract

The carrageenan can be isolated by combining alkaline KOH, NaOH, and Ca(OH)2 solutions. Alkaline solutions of KOH: NaOH, KOH: Ca(OH)2, and NaOH: Ca(OH)2 were combined to extract carrageenan. The amount of the solution was varied, the carrageenan groups were characterized using FTIR, and the carrageenan’s gel strength was tested. The extraction results obtained the highest yield in the combination of alkaline solutions Ca(OH)2 80%+KOH 20%, which is equal to 70.18% FTIR test results for carrageenan produced from the extraction of Eucheuma cottonii seaweed showed absorption showing the type of kappa (κ) carrageenan. The highest gel strength test results were obtained in an alkaline solution of Ca(OH)2 80%: NaOH 20%, which was 252.5 g bloom, and the lowest was made in a solution of Ca(OH)2 80%: KOH 20%, which was 21.0 g bloom.
