Abstract

The repeated use of cooking oil at high temperatures can significantly degrade its quality, as indicated by darkened color, unpleasant odor, elevated peroxide value (PV), and free fatty acid (FFA) levels. This deterioration can contribute to health risks such as obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease, and cancer. This study investigated the effectiveness of combined activated carbon and bentonite adsorbent in reducing peroxide value and free fatty acid levels in used cooking oil. The purification method involved an adsorption process using a combination of activated carbon derived from mangosteen peel waste and bentonite. The carbonization process was carried out at 600°C for 3 hours, followed by chemical activation with H?PO? at varying concentrations of 1M, 3M, and 5M. Bentonite was activated using 5M HCl. The results demonstrated that 5 grams of activated carbon from mangosteen peel, treated with 5M H?PO?, and bentonite activated with 5M HCl, were highly effective in lowering the peroxide value and free fatty acid levels in used cooking oil. Initially, the PV of the untreated used cooking oil was 16 meq O?/kg, reduced to 3.6 meq O?/kg after treatment with the combined adsorbents. Similarly, the FFA content decreased from 2.2% to 0.09%. Both peroxide value and free fatty acid levels met the standards set by SNI 3741:2013. In conclusion, using activated carbon and bentonite is an efficient method for purifying used cooking oil, as their strong adsorption capacity effectively reduces peroxide value and free fatty acid levels.

Abstract

A body scrub is a cosmetic formulation intended to exfoliate dead skin cells and enhance skin hydration. One promising natural ingredient for body scrub formulations is the rhizome of Java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.), which contains curcumin, a potent antioxidant known to support skin moisture retention. This study aims to evaluate the moisturizing efficacy of a body scrub formulated with Java turmeric rhizome extract. Methods: The rhizome was extracted through maceration using 96% ethanol and incorporated into body scrub formulations at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%. The formulations were assessed for organoleptic characteristics, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, oisturizing effect, and potential skin irritation on human volunteers. A commercial body scrub served as the comparator in a study involving 12 volunteers over four weeks, with applications performed once per week. Results: All Java turmeric body scrub formulations remained physically stable at room temperature and did not induce skin irritation. The physical characteristics of the formulations met standard cosmetic criteria, including consistent appearance, pH range of 6–7, spreadability between 5–7 cm, adhesion time above 4 seconds, and absence of irritation. Moisturizing effectiveness was evaluated using a skin analyzer, and data were statistically analyzed using SPSS. The p-value of 0.046 indicates that there is a significant difference between F1 and the commercial product, while for F2 and F3, there is no significant difference in moisturizing effectiveness between the temulawak formulations and the commercial product.. Among the tested formulations, the body scrub containing 20% Java turmeric extract exhibited the highest moisturizing effect. Conclusion: The body scrub formulated with Java turmeric rhizome extract, particularly at a concentration of 20%, is safe for use and shows potential as a natural moisturizing product comparable to commercial products on the market.

Abstract

Wastewater generated by the textile industry contains a variety of hazardous contaminants, including complex organic compounds, synthetic dyes, surfactants, heavy metals, and critical pollution indicators such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS). This study evaluates the efficacy of a dual-adsorbent system comprising hydrochloric acid-activated bentonite and phosphoric acid-activated carbon for the removal of BOD, COD, and TSS from textile effluents. The activation processes significantly altered the physicochemical properties of both adsorbents. The moisture content of activated carbon decreased from 18% to 3.10%, while ash content was reduced from 15% to 3.05%. The iodine number, indicative of adsorption capacity, increased from 650 mg/g to 810 mg/g. Additionally, the fixed carbon content improved from 55% to 80%. Surface characterization via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) confirmed substantial structural modifications, which enhanced the adsorption performance of the materials. Application of the combined adsorbent system resulted in substantial pollutant removal efficiencies, with reductions of 70.23% in BOD, 70.11% in COD, and 74.88% in TSS. These findings demonstrate that acid-activated bentonite and phosphoric acid-treated activated carbon represent a promising and efficient adsorptive treatment strategy for the remediation of textile wastewater.

Abstract

Skin damage is a common problem that can affect appearance and health. Excessive exposure to free radicals from UV rays is one of the main causes of skin damage, the use of body lotions containing natural antioxidant compounds is very important to protect the skin from these effects. Avocado leaves (Persea americana Mill.) have been known to contain antioxidant chemicals that are good for skin protection, one of which is flavonoids. The purpose of this study was to determine whether avocado leaf body lotion preparations can function as antioxidants and to develop body lotion preparations that meet the evaluation test requirements. The research stages included the preparation of simple drugs, the preparation of avocado leaf extract, the test of antioxidant functional groups with UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy, the preparation of avocado leaf ethanol extract body lotion, the evaluation of body lotion preparations, and the testing of antioxidant activity of body lotions using the DPPH method. The results of the phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids. Avocado leaf extract body lotion was formulated in four concentration variations (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%). All formulas meet SNI, with a pH of 7 and a spreadability of between 5-7 cm. Antioxidant activity tests showed a decreasing IC50 value with increasing extract concentration: 12.4643 µg/mL (2%), 4.6300 µg/mL (4%), and 1.1065 µg/mL (6%), which are categorized as very strong. The formulation with a concentration of 6% showed stronger activity. The conclusion of this study indicates that lotion made from avocado leaf extract has the potential as a skin care product with very strong antioxidant capabilities.

Abstract

Wastewater produced from tofu manufacturing typically contains substantial amounts of organic substances and suspended particles. The concentrations of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) frequently surpass the permissible thresholds established in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry (Permen LHK) No. P.16 of 2019. Such high levels of pollutants may degrade water quality and pose risks to both aquatic ecosystems and public health in nearby areas. This study investigates the efficiency of combining activated carbon and bentonite, in both raw and activated forms, for reducing BOD, COD, and TSS concentrations in wastewater originating from tofu industries. The BOD test was performed using a five-day incubation at 24 °C, COD was analysed via the closed reflux method, and TSS was quantified using the gravimetric approach. Adsorbent characteristics were examined in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), supported by functional group analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and morphological observation with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that activation enhanced pore development and improved the adsorption capability of both materials. The combined activated carbon and bentonite effectively decreased BOD from 3,600 mg/L to 140 mg/L, COD from 1,500 mg/L to 185 mg/L, and TSS from 320 mg/L to 270 mg/L. All treated parameters met the regulatory quality standards, indicating that the activated mixture of these adsorbents provides an efficient and environmentally sound method for treating tofu processing wastewater.
