Abstract

Green spinach is one type of vegetable commodity that the people of Indonesia most widely consume because it has a relatively high nutritional content such as iron, vitamin C, protein, and carbohydrates. However, currently, there is a decrease in green spinach vegetable productivity in Indonesia due to several things, including cultivation techniques that could be more optimal, low seed quality, and limited application of agricultural technology. For this reason, agrarian intensification is needed by using natural plant growth regulators (PGR) to increase the growth of green spinach. Red onions and shallots are part of the allium genus, which has growth phytohormones, namely auxin and gibberellins, which have the potential to be natural PGR. This study aims to compare the use of red onion and shallot extracts in increasing the growth of green spinach plants. The research design used was a randomised group design (RGD) with variations in extract concentrations (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%). Parameters of observation of green spinach plant growth are plant height, number of leaves, leaf circumference, and wet biomass of harvested plants. The application of red onion and shallot extracts was carried out on green spinach plants aged seven days after planting (DAP) with a time interval of 1 week until 28 DAP. Observation of green spinach plant growth parameters began at the age of 14-35 DAP. Statistical analysis of the data using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and then the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) further t-test a 5% significance level. The results showed that red onion and shallot extracts affected all observed growth parameters of green spinach plants. Shallot extract with a concentration of 45% gave the best results on all green spinach plant growth parameters.

Abstract

This study evaluated laboratory skills among the students during biochemistry practicum activities and built laboratory information for the internal and external community of Universitas Negeri Surabaya in 2024. The habit of reusing cooking oil for the main reason of saving costs can cause health problems. Parameters used to determine quality cooking oils include content-free fatty acids and number peroxide. The research purposes for this experiment are to know the rate of free fatty acids and the number of peroxides in Branded and out-of-stock cooking oil used for now. Determination of free fatty acids was done with the method of alkalimetry and the determination number of peroxide was done with the technique of iodometry. Result of the study This shows average rate of sour fat-free oil frying before frying is 0.22% And after frying becomes 0.40% or enhancement amounting to 185.98 %. The average level of number peroxide oil fried before frying is as big as 1.11 meq O2 /kg and after frying to 3.52 meq O2 /kg or enhancement as big as 317.25%. Average rate sour fat-free oil fry before frying No exceed standard SNI 7702: 2012, namely maximum 0.3%. However, the average level of free fatty acids in cooking oil after frying exceeds the SNI 7702:2012 standard, namely above 0.3%. Whereas the average rate number peroxide oil fry before and after frying does not exceed standard SNI 7709: 2012 which is a maximum of 10 meq O2 /kg.
