Abstract

We previously produced tannase from Aspergillus niger using solid state medium. In the present study the enzyme used cashew apple juice. The aim this research was to know effect of tannase on chemical parameters of cashew apple juice. The concentration of tannase used was 0%; 0.02%; 0.04%; 0.06%; 0.08% and 0.1% (v/v). The chemical properties of the juice produced by enzymatic method were compared with the juiced produced through high temperature treatment (100oC).  This research showed that the addition of 0.1% of tannase enzyme provide the best product according to the lower content of tannins than the content of tannins in the juice produced with high temperature treatment. The tannase treatment did not change the vitamin C content, content of protein and pH. Meanwhile, high temperature treatment decreased the content of vitamin C and protein.

Abstract

Dammar Asphalt (Daspal) is expected to be used as a bio-asphalt renewable binder for road construction. It is made with a modification of the "Jabung", which is the dammar gum based material mixed with grounded red brick debris and low quality cooking oil at a certain ratio. Dammar gum is obtained from the Dipterocarpaceae family of trees in India and East Asia, most are produced by tapping trees. The gum varies in color from clear to pale yellow. Dammar gum is a triterpenoid resin, containing a large number of triterpenes and their oxidation products. Many of them are low molecular weight compounds. The objective of this research is to analyze the chemical properties of Daspal uses a Resonance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) method to compare with conventional asphalt. The investigation using spectral data showed that all types of Daspal have similar functional groups of Saturate, Aromatic, Resins, and Asphalten as the 60/70 penetration conventional bitumen, so that based on its chemical properties Daspal can be considered as bioaspal.

Abstract

Research on the preparation and characterization of sulfonated polystyrene (PST) /chitosan vanillin (KV) composite as electrolyte membranes has been conducted in order to investigate the effect of PST and KV composition  to its chemical and physical properties. Polystyrene was modified by sulfonation reaction to produces PST, meanwhile chitosan was modified by schift base reaction to produces KV. The composite membranes were prepared by casting method and were characterized in order to identify the functional groups contained in the composite, the cation exchange capacity (CEC), the Swelling Degree (SD), the thermal properties and the morphology. The peak of imine vibration in the FTIR spectrum indicates that the chitosan vanilin was succesfully synthesized. Meanwhile, the peak of sulfonate vibration indicates the product of sulfonation on polystyrene. The result of CEC analysis shows that the addition of sulfonate groups on polystyrene and the addition of phenolic groups on chitosan increase the CEC value. The increasing of PST and KV concentration in membrane enhance the CEC value. However, the increasing of PST concentration in membrane composition even decrease the Swelling Degree of membranes. Meanwhile, the increasing of KV concentration increase the swelling degree of membranes. Thermal analysis shows that the thermal decomposition of membranes occurs in three stages i.e. the dehydration of water molecules, the degradation of the subtituen groups and the plasticizer and the degradation of the back bone of chitosan and polystyrene.

Abstract

Electropolymerization of polypyrrole for determination of hydroquinone on screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was performed using cyclic voltammetry. Electropolymerization of polypyrrole on SPCE begins with determining the optimum conditions of cyclic voltammetry (working potential, scan rate, number of cycles) and the conditions of solution (pyrrole and KCl concentrations).The working potential were varied at 0 – 0.8; 0 – 0.9; 0 – 1 V. The variation of scan rate were 50, 100, 150 mV/s and number of cycleswere 5, 10,15 cycles. The influence of pyrrole concentration was studied by providing variation of 5, 50, 100 mM. Meanwhile, the KCl concentration were at 0.1; 0.5; 1 M. The SPCE modified with polypyrrole was washed with deionized water and was dried at room temperature. The prepared polypyrrole was analyzed and based on the high anodic and cathodic peak current of the hydroquinone, it is confirmed that the preparation was succefully conducted. The optimum conditions on electropolymerization of polypyrrole areat the working potential of 0 – 0.9 V; the scan rate 100 of mV/s; the number of cyclesis 10, and at thepyrroleconcentration of 50 mM and KCl concentration of 0.5 M. SPCE modified polypyrrole can determine the hydroquinone at the concentration range of 5 – 100 μM with the sensitivity of 0.120 μA/Μm and the detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.8 μM.
