Abstract

The red fruit (Pandanus conoideus) is an endemic plant from Papua, known for its distinctive color and shape. This fruit is recognized for its bioactive properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihyperglycemic effects. Its high pigment content is believed to have potential as a sensitizer in DSSC applications. However, research on this topic remains underexplored. Therefore, the aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the potential of red fruit pigments for DSSC. The characterization of red fruit pigments was conducted through phytochemical screening, FTIR and UV-Vis spectral analysis, as well as literature reviews. Pigment extraction was carried out using maceration without involving drying or grinding processes. Phytochemical screening results revealed that the macerate contains flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics and terpenoids, compounds commonly used as natural pigments in DSSCs. FTIR analysis showed the presence of functional groups such as carboxyl (-COOH), carbonyl (C=O), and hydroxyl (-OH), which can act as effective anchoring groups when interacting with nanosemiconductor surfaces. Meanwhile, UV-Vis analysis showed absorption peaks in the UV region (wavelength 204–399 nm) and the visible region (wavelength 400–550 nm). Based on literature studies and research findings, it can be concluded that the pigments in red fruit have potential applications as DSSC sensitizers.

Abstract

Renewable energy (RE) is a solution to the threat of the upcoming energy crisis. The increasingly massive energy transition is expected to significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels. Microalgae are one of the potential sources of RE for bioenergy (biodiesel) production due to their lipid content. This research was conducted to determine the percentage of lipid components; free fatty acids (FFA), monoglycerides (MAG), diglycerides (DAG), and triglycerides (TAG) in Chaetoceros calcitrans microalgae and to compare lipid yields using two extraction methods: Bligh-Dyer (wet samples) and Soxhlet extraction (dry samples).The results for C. calcitrans extracted using the Bligh-Dyer method showed that the percentage of lipid components (FFA, MAG, DAG, and TAG) ranged from 5.44% to 17.10%, with a total of 47.92%, and the lipid yield from 6 g of wet sample was 5.07%.Meanwhile, for the C. calcitrans extract using Soxhlet method, it was found that the percentage of lipid components (FFA, MAG, DAG and TAG) ranged from 6.79 to 18.01% with a total of 63.08% and the lipid yield from 20 g of dry samples was 0. 44%.
