Abstract

A group of protease enzymes such as papain and bromelain is able to decipher the molecular structure of the protein into amino acids which will be very useful in many fields, especially in food and pharmaceutical industries. The objective of this study to determine the molecular weight profile of enzyme bromelain from pineapple bark (Ananas comosus L. Merr) and papain (Carica papaya L.) from papaya latex with different varieties using sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method. The precipitation was performed with ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4)) 60 % addition and dialysized using a cellophane tubing with a pore size of 12,000 Dalton. The molecular weight of enzyme solution were determined using SDS-PAGE. The analysis results of molecular weight of enzyme bromelain of Subang and Bogor varieties were not different and were about 30.654 kDa, as well as the molecular weight of enzyme papain and Sukma California varieties were also not different and were about 23.485 kDa. It can be concluded that the different varieties of fruit of pineapple and papaya had no effect on the molecular weight of enzyme papain and bromelain.

Abstract

Telah dilakukan uji aktivitas katalis CoMo/USY pada reaksi desulfurisasi tiofen. Reaksi dilakukan pada reaktor sistem batch dengan tekanan gas N2 sebesar 1 bar gas N2 dan waktu reaksi selama 1 jam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variasi temperatur dan variasi karakter katalis pada reaksi desulfurisasi tiofen. Product desulfurisasi dianalisis dengan Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectra (GC-MS). Karakter kestabilan struktur katalis dilihat dengan analisis menggunakan instrumen Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Hasil analisis terhadap uji aktivitas desulfurisasi menunjukkan bahwa pada rentang temperatur 200-300°C, rendemen bertambah dengan meningkatnya temperatur. Pada penelitian telah berhasil menghidrogenasi tiofen, tetapi belum bisa menghilangkan kandungan sulfurnya. Adapun efek karakter katalis terhadap aktivitas katalitiknya menunjukkan bahwa karakter katalis yang paling dominan adalah sifat keasaman. Katalis dengan keasaman tertinggi, yaitu katalis CoMo/USY, memiliki aktivitas tertinggi dengan rendemen produk sebesar 2,88%. Hasil analisis FT-IR terhadap katalis bekas menunjukkan bahwa struktur cukup stabil dan tidak ada pengotor yang terikat pada katalis.Catalytic Desulfurization of Thiophene using CoMo/USY Catalyst in Batch Reactor. CoMo/USY catalyst activity has been tested for thiophene desulfurization reaction. The reaction was carried out in batch system reactor with N2 gas pressure of 1 bar and reaction time for 1 hour. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature variation and catalyst character variation in thiophene desulfurization reaction. The desulfurization products were analyzed by Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectra (GC-MS). The characters of structure catalyst were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results of the analysis of the desulfurization activity test showed that in the temperature range 200-300 °C, the yield raised with increasing temperature. The analysis results of the desulfurization activity test showed that in the temperature range of 200-300°C, the yield raised with increasing temperature. The study has successfully hydrogenated thiophene, but has not been able to eliminate the sulfur content. The effect of the catalysts character on its catalytic activity shows that the most dominant character of the catalysts was its acidity. The highest acidity catalyst, CoMo/USY catalyst, has highest activity with the product yield of 2,88%. The result of the FTIR analysis on the used catalyst show that the structure was stable and no impurities were attached the catalyst.

Abstract

Separation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) from ilmenite Bangka has been done byleaching processusing HCl. Before the leaching process, ilmenite was roastedat 900oC for pre-oxidation (preliminary - oxidation). Leaching process carried out by variation of HCl concentration and Fe0 reducing agents. While the re-deposition of dissolved Ti4+ ion achieved by hydrolysis - condensation using 2-propanol-H2O solvents. Leaching the pre-oxidazed ilmenite shows the phase change of  pseudobrokite (Fe2TiO5) into hematite (Fe2O3) and synthetic rutile (TiO2). Formation of the synthetic rutile was characterized by the loss of intensity of Fe2TiO5 at 26.65º and the increasing intensity of rutile TiO2 at 27.49º.The dissolution rate of both titanium and iron was found to be increased, generally, by increasing acid concentration in case of HCl as well as by increasing ilmenite: Fe0 ratio. Precipitation of the dissolved titania with 2-propanol -H2Oof 8:2(v /v) produced anatase TiO2 due to the hydrolysis and condensation of Ti-tetra isopropoxide complexes.

Abstract

The use of TiO2  powder  as photocatalyst still provides some disadvantages such as the difficulties in regenerate ion, the low adsorption and turbulence . These problems can be overcomed by providing the photocatalyst as a composite of ZnO-TiO2. This research aims to  investigate  the  effect  of  composition  of  solvent  and  temperatureof  synthesis  on  the quality  and  photocatalytic  activity  of  ZnO-TiO2  which  was  prepared  by  sol-gel  method. The  photocatalytic  activity  was  determined  by  applying  the  composite  in  degradation  of Procion  Red  MX-8B  under  irradition  of  UV  light  for  24  hours.  The  procion  red concentration after degradation was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Meanwhile the effect of synt hesis temperature on crystal structure  of composite  was studied by XRD. The results show that the composite which was prepared by PEG 1500 at 1:4 of moles ratio and at 70  °C of  synthesis temperature has  highest degradation  percentage,  i.e. 55.375 % and photocataltic activity of 3.561 x 10-7mg/cm2s.

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous coordination polymer containing bi-or polidentate organic linker coordinated with inorganic part, such as metal oxide cluster or metal cation as node which called as secondary building unit (SBU) to form infinite structure. Due to high porosity and surface area, good thermal stability as well as the availability of unsaturated metal center or the linker influence attracts the interaction with gases, thus MOFs have potential to be applied as hydrogen storage material. One type of MOFs that have been widely studied is [Zn4O(benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate)3], namely, MOF-5.Various synthesis method have been developed to obtain optimum results. Characterization of MOF-5 from various synthesis method such as crystallinity, capacity, stability, and quantum dot behavior of MOF-5 have been summarized in this review.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe aim of the research is to determine the effective storage technique between the air cooling and vacuum cooling technique during storage process (0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks) and to increase the shelf life of kabocha pumpkin. Parameters measured during storage process were β-carotene and proximate content (water, pH, protein and sugar). β-carotene content was analyzed by Spectrophotometer UV-VIS followed by validation method, water content by Gravimetric method, pH by pH meter, protein by Makro Kjehldal method, and sugar by Luff Schrool method.  The validation method showed good result which is proved by linearity, accuracy, precission, LOD, LOQ, and recovery values were 0.988, 98.8%, 3.39-7.73%, 0.011 ppm, 0.016 ppm, and 112% respectively. During storage process, β-carotene content was greater decreased on air cooling storage. For proximate content showed that water content was greater decreased on vacuum cooling storage. pH and the protein content was decreased on  air cooling or vacuum cooling storage, but on air cooling was greater. Sugar content was increased during eight weeks and decreased on last week. From the result it can be seen that vacuum cooling storage was better technique for kabocha pumpkin. Keyword: β-carotene, air cooling, proximate, vacuum cooling

Abstract

Study of the theoretical  approah to calculate the band structure and density of states (DOS) of vanadium-doped TiO2 of both anatase and rutile have been done. The first-principle calculations were done using supercell (2x1x1) method. The first-principle calculation of V-doped TiO2 of both anatase and rutile were analyzed by density-functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation from Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (GGA+PBE), Perdew-Wang’s 1991 (GGA+PW91) and local density approximation (LDA) for exchange-correlation functionals. The calculation of electronic structures show that the V-doped TiO2-anatase with high concentration (7.93%) in 24 atoms are direct- and indirect-gap semiconductor, whereas the V-doped TiO2-rutile with high concentration (15.79%) in 12 atoms is direct-gap semiconductor. The V-doped TiO2 of both anatase and rutile produce the intermediate bands in the upper states. Ihe V-doped anatase produces intermediate band, which is 2.05, 2.04, 2.06 eV above the valence band for GGA+PBE, GGA+PW91 and LDA, respectively. Meanwhile the V-doped rutile producesintermediate band, which is 1.76, 1.82, 1.74 eV above the valence band for GGA+PBE, GGA+PW91 and LDA, respectively.
