Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different coating materials on the efficiency of red ginger oleoresin encapsulation and characterization of microcapsule surface. The encapsulation process begins by dissolving chitosan with 1 % (v/v) acetic acid and dissolving sodium alginate using aquadest to be used as a coating material. Red ginger oleoresin alginate included in the solution was stirred. The mixture entered into the chitosan solution and added tween 80 was stirred using a homogenizer to emulsify. The emulsion that forms included in the spray dryer to be converted into a powder of microcapsules, and then analyzes the encapsulation efficiency and surface morphology of microcapsules using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differences in the coating material used were chitosan, mixture of chitosan-alginate and mixture of chitosan-alginate-sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). Weight ratio of red ginger oleoresin and the coating material were 1: 1, 1: 2 and 1: 3. The research results obtained were the highest encapsulation efficiency obtained from the coating material of the chitosan-alginate-sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at a ratio of 1: 3, namely by 85 %.

Abstract

Studi mengenai elektrokatalis untuk reaksi evolusi hidrogen (HER) dan evolusi oksigen (OER) sangat diperlukan terkait aplikasinya dalam pengembangan energi terbarukan berbasis hidrogen. Komposit perak nanowires (AgNWs) dengan polianilina (PANI) disiapkan dengan metode polimerisasi radikal dalam larutan matriks kitosan untuk menurunkan ukuran partikel PANI. Komposit disintesis dengan 3 perlakuan yang berbeda, yaitu perlakuan suhu ruang, suhu rendah, dan sonikasi. Aktivitas elektrokatalisis diukur dengan voltammetri sapuan linear (LSV). Informasi tentang densitas arus pertukaran dan overpotensial sebagai variabel utama pengukuran aktivitas elektrokatalisis diperoleh dari plot Tafel pada LSV. Semua komposit dengan perlakuan suhu dan sonikasi menunjukkan karakter katodik berdasarkan nilai overpotensialnya yang negatif (aktivitas HER), sedangkan komposit dengan perlakuan suhu rendah memiliki karakter anodik (aktivitas OER).A Composite of   Polyaniline/Chitosan/Silver Nanowires as Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalyst in Neutral Medium. Study on electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is urgently needed related to its application in hydrogen-based renewable energy development. A composite of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with polyaniline (PANI) was prepared by radical polymerization method in chitosan matrix solution to reduce the PANI particle size. Each composite was synthesized under three different treatment conditions, which are room temperature, low temperature, and sonication. Linear sweeping voltammetry (LSV) was conducted to measure electrocatalytic activity of the composites. Information about exchange current density and overpotential as important variables in this field were obtained from Tafel plot in the LSV. The temperature and sonication-treated composites have cathodic character due to its negative overpotential (HER activity), while low temperature-treated composites have anodic character (OER activity).

Abstract

Hidroksiapatit (HA) Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 merupakan senyawa kalsium yang digunakan pada bidang ortopedi dan periodontal karena mineral ini merupakan penyusun utama dalam jaringan tulang dan gigi. Untuk dapat digunakan sebagai graft tulang dan tambal gigi, perlu dilakukan pengaturan kemurninan, kristalinitas dan ukurannya baik sebagai senyawa tunggal (HA) atau kompositnya. Pengaturan tersebut dapat dilakukan melalui proses sintesisnya. Pada penelitian ini HA disintesis dari CaO yang diisolasi dari cangkang telur ayam dengan metode kalsinasi pada suhu 1000 °C selama 5 jam, kemudian ditambahkan diammonium hidrogenfosfat. Sintesis komposit HA-La2O3 dilakukan dengan dua metode hidrotermal dengan dua cara berbeda, yaitu secara in-situ dan ex-situ. Pada sintesis HA dengan metode in-situ dilakukan pencampuran bahan dalam satu tahap yaitu CaO, diammonium hidrogenfosfat dan 5% b/b lantanum oksida dengan perbandingan mol Ca/P=1,67 secara hidrotermal pada 230 °C selama 48 jam. Sintesis HA dengan metode ex-situ dilakukan dengan dua tahap yaitu mencampur CaO dan diammonium hidrogenfosfat untuk membentuk HA. Setelah HA terbentuk kemudian dilakukan sintesis komposit dengan penambahan lantanum oksida. Komposisi bahan dan kondisi reaksi metode ex-situ dilakukan dengan cara yang sama seperti metode in-situ. Hasil XRD dan FTIR menunjukkan terbentuknya komposit HA-La2O3 dari kedua metode yang dilakukan. Namun kemurnian, kristalinitas dan ukuran komposit menunjukan hasil yang berbeda. Karakteristik komposit yang dihasilkan dari metode in-situ lebih baik dibandingkan dengan metode ex-situ.

Abstract

Metode Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) digunakan untuk mengekstraksi senyawa flavonoid dari simplisia alga coklat Padina australis. Sampel diperoleh dari Pantai Bayah, Banten Indonesia. Kondisi optimal ekstraksi ditentukan dengan Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Desain Box-Behnken (BBD) digunakan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh 3 faktor dengan 3 level yaitu daya microwave (300, 450, 600 watt), konsentrasi etanol  (30, 50, 70%), dan waktu ekstraksi (7, 8 dan 9 menit) dengan 15 perlakuan yang berbeda. Hasil disain eksperimen dengan BBD menunjukkan kondisi ekstraksi optimum yaitu pada daya microwave 414 watt, konsentrasi etanol 50,33% dan waktu ekstraksi 7,89 menit menghasilkan kadar prediksi flavonoid sebesar nilai 0,2963%. Nilai ini mendekati nilai kadar flavonoid yang diperoleh secara eksperimental sebesar 0,2961%, pada kondisi menggunakan daya microwave sebesar 450 watt, konsentrasi etanol 50% dengan lama ekstraksi 8 menit. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, kadar flavonoid total dapat meningkat secara signifikan dengan melakukan optimasi proses MAE menggunakan RSM.Optimization of Microwave-Assisted Extraction for Total Flavonoid Content of Padina australis Brown Algae.  Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) was done to extraction flavonoid from Padina australis brown algae simplicial.

Abstract

Ketersediaan biomassa yang melimpah berpotensi menjadi bahan baku dalam pembuatan bahan bakar atau senyawa kimia lain. Salah satu senyawa penyusun biomassa, yaitu glukosa, berpotensi diubah menjadi berbagai senyawaan kimia melalui pembentukan senyawa antara furan. Senyawa furan yang menjadi sasaran pada penelitian ini ialah 5-hidroksimetilfurfural (HMF) yang juga memerlukan katalis dalam proses pembentukkannya dari glukosa. Katalis yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah katalis heterogen dari zeolit alam Ende yang mengemban lima jenis ion logam dengan konsentrasi 1 − 3% (b/v). Pengembanan logam dilakukan untuk melihat perbedaan aktivitas katalitik zeolit dengan dan tanpa ion logam, dan sebagai model pemanfaatan zeolit alam yang telah difungsikan sebagai adsorben logam. Pengembanan logam dilakukan dengan metode pertukaran ion sebagai representasi dari proses adsorpsi. Transformasi glukosa menjadi HMF dilakukan menggunakan metode hidrotermal pada suhu 180 °C dalam pelarut aseton:air (2:1) (v/v) dengan perbandingan substrat:katalis 15:1 (b/b). Zeolit alam Ende dalam bentuk asam dapat membantu transformasi glukosa dengan rendemen HMF 24,86%, sementara logam Cr saja menghasilkan rendemen 44,37%. Zeolit yang diembankan logam Cr menghasilkan rendemen 32,78%, dan semakin banyak logam yang diembankan dalam zeolit menunjukkan penurunan aktivitas katalitiknya. Rendemen HMF tertinggi ditunjukkan pada penggunaan katalis Mn-zeolit dan Ni-zeolit dengan rendemen berturut-turut 35,17% dan 38,68%.

Abstract

Endo-β-1,4-D-xylanase is a hydrolytic enzyme that breakdown the 1.4 chain of xylan polysaccharide. We have succes to transform the plasmid pET-Endo gene encoding endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase from Bacillus sp. originally from termites abdominal to E. coli BL21. The clone was ready for large scale of enzyme production. To reduce production cost, we look for subtitute media for the expensive Luria Berthani broth. Chicken guts broth is good alternative while rich of protein and very cheap. The content of N dissolved chicken guts broth reaches 87 % of LB broth. Growth of E. Coli BL21 in Chicken guts broth and LB broth (as control) was observed by Optical Density (OD) using spectrofotometer. Concentration of glucose added in broth and incubation temperature was varied. The result showed that optimal growth was in addition of 1.5 % glucose and incubated at  37 oC for 16 h. This optimal condition was used to grow E. coli BL21 pET-Endo for xylanase production. Enzyme purification was done by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Highest protein yield was 0.076 mg/mL obtained in 100 mM imidazole elucidation. The activity and specific activity of xylanase were estimated as 0.042 U/mL and 0.556 U/µg, respectively. The purification factor was 3.16 time and the molecular weight of enzyme was ± 30, 000 Dalton
