Abstract

SYNTHESIS OF ANATASE TITANIUM DIOXIDE (TiO2) NANOFIBER BY ELECTROSPINNING METHOD. This research reported the synthesis of nanofiber anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) using electrospinning. To produce nanofiber, the precursor solution was passed through a capillary of syringes given a positive DC voltage of 13 kV and then as-prepared nanofiber annealed at temperature of 500°C for 1 hour. The annealed samples were then analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD). In this study, the effect of changes in the flow rate of the precursor solution and the weight of raw material of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) to the crystallinity and morphology of the sample were systematically investigated. This research resulted that the TiO2 nanofiber have a mixed phase between anatase and rutile. The amount of rutile TiO2 could be reduced by increasing the flow rate of precursor solution. The optimum flow rate to obtain the pure anatase TiO2 was adjusted at 2.0 mL/h. In addition. TTIP weight affected the morphology of nanofiber which by increasing the amount of TTIP resulted morphological change to become more dense and uniform in shape and size. Keywords: anatase; electrospinning; nanofiber; rutile; titania Abstrak Pada penelitian ini telah berhasil dibuat nanofiber titanium dioksida (TiO2) anatase dengan menggunakan metode electrospinning. Nanofiber TiO2 dihasilkan dengan cara melewatkan larutan prekursor pada jarum suntik yang diberi tegangan DC positif 13 kV pada ujungnya. Fiber hasil spinning kemudian dikalsinasi pada suhu 500°C selama 1 jam. Sampel yang telah dikalsinasi kemudian dianalisis menggunakan scanning electron microscope (SEM) dan x-ray diffractometer (XRD). Pada penelitian ini pengaruh dari perubahan laju aliran larutan prekursor dan berat material baku titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) terhadap sifat kristal dan morfologi sampel dikaji secara sistematis.  Dari penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa TiO2 yang dihasilkan memiliki fase campuran antara anatase dan rutile, namun dengan menaikkan laju aliran prekursor mampu menurunkan jumlah fase rutilenya sehingga pada laju aliran 2,0 mL/h diperoleh nanofiber TiO2 dengan fase anatase murni. Berat TTIP sangat mempengaruhi morfologi nanofiber yang diperoleh dimana dengan menaikkan jumlah TTIP morfologi fiber mangalami perubahan menjadi lebih padat (dense) dan lebih seragam baik bentuk dan ukurannya.

Abstract

BIOSYNTHESIS OF PHENOLIC ANTIOXIDANT COMPOUNDS FROM KEPOK BANANA PEEL WASTE (Musa acuminata balbisiana C.) USING SUBMERGED FERMENTATION  BY RHIZOPUS ORYZAE. Phenolic antioxidant compounds can be formed through a process of biosynthesis with the help of microorganism. Kepok banana peel waste contains nutrients that support the growth of Rhizopus oryzae producing phenolic antioxidant compounds through its secondary metabolism. The objective of this research was to study the effects of fermentation time, concentration of Kepok banana peel extracts, and concentration of (NH4)2SO4 on Total Phenolic Content (TPC) of extracts substrate. Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of extracts with the highest TPC value was also measured. TPC of extracts were analyzed by Folin-Ciocalteu method whilst TAC by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Rhizopus oryzae was grown on a substrate containing kepok banana peel extract (500 g of kepok banana peel/L of water and 1000 g of kepok banana peel/L of water), (NH4)2SO4, and other nutrients. Results showed that extracts with the highest phenolic content were obtained after 72 hours fermentation on substrate containing 32.69 mg/mL of glucose (concentration of kepok banana peel 1000 g/L of water) and 0.25% w/v (NH4)2SO4. The substrate had TPC of 582.07 mg Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE)/L extract with TAC of 88.37%. Keywords: biosynthesis; kepok banana peel; phenolic antioxidant; Rhizopus oryzae Abstrak Senyawa fenolik antioksidan dapat terbentuk melalui proses biosintesa dengan bantuan Rhizopus oryzae menggunakan substrat limbah kulit pisang kepok. Limbah kulit pisang kepok belum banyak dimanfaatkan dan memiliki nilai ekonomi rendah. Di sisi lain, kulit pisang kepok mengandung sejumlah nutrisi yang dapat mendukung pertumbuhan Rhizopus oryzae dalam memproduksi senyawa fenolik antioksidan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh waktu fermentasi, konsentrasi ekstrak kulit pisang kepok, dan konsentrasi (NH4)2SO4 terhadap perolehan senyawa fenolik, serta mempelajari Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) untuk ekstrak dengan perolehan senyawa fenolik tertinggi.

Abstract CHITOSAN ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS USING A COMBINATION OF ENDO-GLUCANASE AND CELLOBIOHYDROLASE. Chitosan is very promising in various fields including medicine, pharmacology, and the food industry. However, the application of this polysaccharide is limited by its high molecular weight resulting in its low solubility in aqueous media. In this respect, the chitosan with shorter chain length, display a reduced viscosity and are soluble in aqueous media at pH values close to neutrality. The aim of this study is the hydrolysis of chitosan to obtain a low molecular weight chitosan using enzymes endo-glucanase and cellobiohydrolase. The hydrolysis of chitosan was carried out under a temperature of 40° C and pH 5. Chitosan degradation was monitored by the analysis of reducing sugars and viscosity, whereas the chemical characterization of chitosan is done by using test FTIR (infrared spectroscopy). The results showed that enzyme treatment resulted in a substantial loss in viscosity of the chitosan solution shows depolymerization. Depolymerization using endo-glucanase took place very quickly during the initial 15 minutes. The rate of viscosity decrease on chitosan degradation using cellobiohydrolase is lower than using endo-glucanase. When the reaction time was 4 h, the lowest  viscosity is showed by cellobiohydrolase, and the highest solubility is showed by combination of endo-glucanase and cellobiohydrolase. Keywords: endo-glucanase; cellobiohydrolase; chitosan; hydrolysis Abstrak Kitosan dapat dimanfaatkan di berbagai bidang seperti kedokteran, farmasi dan industri makanan. Aplikasi kitosan sering dibatasi oleh berat molekul kitosan yang tinggi sehingga viskositasnya tinggi dan kelarutannya rendah. Kitosan dengan rantai polimer pendek, akan mempunyai viskositas rendah, dan mudah larut pada larutan/air dengan pH mendekati netral. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghidrolisis kitosan secara enzimatis menggunakan enzim endo-glucanase dan cellobiohydrolase. Hidrolisis kitosan dilakukan pada suhu 40 °C dan pH 5. Degradasi kitosan dipantau melalui analisa gula reduksi dan viskositas, sedangkan karakterisasi kimia kitosan dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji FTIR (infra red spectroscopy). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hidrolisis enzimatis kitosan dapat menyebabkan terjadinya penurunan berat molekul yang ditandai dengan adanya penurunan viscositas larutan kitosan. Pada 15 menit awal hidrolisis terjadi penurunan viskositas yang sangat besar. Laju penurunan viskositas enzim cellobiohydrolase lebih rendah dibanding dengan enzime endo-glucanase. Setelah waktu reaksi 4 jam, viskositas terendah diperoleh pada enzime cellobiohydrolase, sedangkan kelarutan tertinggi diperoleh pada kombinasi enzime endo-glucanase dan cellobiohydrolase.
