Abstract

The influences of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) conditions on phenolic compounds of Eucheuma cottonii seaweeed were investigated. The effects of temperature, time and liquid-solid ratio were evaluated based on the total phenolic content (TPC). The result showed a significant variability of effect of temperature, time, and liquid-solid ratio on TPC. Application of ultrasound reduced the optimum temperature, time and liquid-solid ratio of the extraction when compared to the conventional extraction. The highest phenolic content (4.44 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight) was obtained at 3:1(v/w) of liquid-solid ratio, 55oC of temperature and 35 min of extraction time. At this condition, the extract showed ability to scavenging 91% of 1,1-diphenyl 2 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH radical) and 10.9% of H2O2. High ability of the extract to scavenge DPPH radical but low in scavenging H2O2 indicated that the extract dominated by primary antioxidant compounds which work by donating hydrogen atoms to bind free radical.

Abstract

This study is aimed to develop a novel process scheme for hydrolysis of native cassava starch at high dry solids using an enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR). Firstly, liquefied cassava starch having solids content up to 50% by weight was prepared by three stage liquefactions in a conventional equipment using a commercially available heat stable a-amylase (Termamyl 120L). The liquefied cassava starch was further saccharified in an EMR using glucoamylase (AMG E). By using the developed process scheme, a highly clear hydrolysate with dextrose equivalent (DE) approximately 97 could be produced, provided the increase of solution viscosity during the liquefaction was precisely controlled. The excessive space time could result in reduction in conversion degree of starch. Moreover, a residence time distribution study confirmed that the EMR could be modelled as a simple continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Using Lineweaver-Burk analysis, the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and glucose production rate constant (k2) were 552 (g/l) and 4.04 (min-1), respectively. Application of simple CSTR model with those kinetic parameters was quietly appropriate to predict the reactor’s performance at low space time.

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of diesel fuel alternative made from renewable resources such as vegetable oils and animal fats. One of the natural ingredients that can be used as a material in the production of biodiesel is waste cooking oil (WCO). Biodiesel from WCO can be made through a transesterification reaction using a CaO catalyst. Free fatty acid (FFA) content in WCO needs to be reduced by activated charcoal adsorption. This research aims to determine the optimum time of adsorption by activated charcoal that made from salak peel and to determine the effect of transesterification temperature on biodiesel yield. The results showed that the FFA content of WCO decrease from 6.16% to 0.224% with adsorption time is 80 minutes and 10 gram of activated charcoal. Biodiesel yield increase by increasing transesterification temperature. The appropriate temperature is 50oC with 86.40% of yield, 887.2 kg/m3of density, 5.174 mm2/s of kinematic viscosity and acid number 0.421 mg KOH/gram sample. The composition of alkyl ester was obtained 65.54% with a FAAE yield of 56.63%.

Abstract

EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES TORREFACTION FOR HEMICELLULOCE CONTENT ANDWATER ABSORPTION TEST. Biomass is organic material resulting from the process ofphotosynthesis. Biomass can be produced directly as product or waste from the processing ofagricultural or plantation. Indonesia is a country that produces biomass in very large quantities. Oneof the largest biomass resulting from the proceessing of palm oil is oil palm empty fruit bunches(EFB). Basically, the EFB has a low energy content and easily absorbs water. With higher productionof palm oil, the EFB has potential as a good quality fuel and need early treatment to maintain thequality of the EFB. Torrefaction was one of thermal treatments with process temperature around200-350 ° C in the absence oxygen condition. By torrefaction, the EFB has a high energy content anddecrease the water absorption. With low water absorption, EFB will have benefit in the storage thathas high humidity such as Indonesia. The variables that varied for EFB torrefaction was thetemperature (250-350 ° C) and the holding time (15-60 minutes) to produce the high quality solid fuelfrom EFB. Analysis product in this study was proximate analysis, water absorption, and hemicelluloseand caloric value. The results showed that the higher temperature and longer time torrefaction hadhigher calorific value, the hemicellulose content decreased thereby increasing hydrophobicity. Also,the torrefaction EFB can increase the calorific value around 30%. Keywords: calorific value; empty fruit bunches (EFB); hemicellulose; hydrophobic; torrefaction AbstrakBiomassa merupakan material organik yang dihasilkan dari proses fotosintesis.

Abstract

Biofilms made from modified sago starch to improve the mechanical and physical properties have been studied.  This study aimed to prepare and characterize biofilms from sago starch and modified sago (acetylation, oxidation, cross-link and precipitation). Modified of sago starch was prepared by some methods: precipitation using ethanol as solvent, acetylation modified of sago starch using acetic anhydride, oxidation modification using hydrogen peroxide and cross-link modification using sodium acetate. Biofilms were made from modified sago using glycerol with a concentration of 1.0% weight, where glycerol acts as a plasticizer to impart the thermoplasticity of the starch film. Biofilm made from native sago was then compared to biofilm from modified sago starch. The effects of modified sago starch to the biofilm were measured on its moisture contents, contact angle value, mechanical properties such as elongation and tensile strength. The chemical structures were evaluated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and morphology of biofilm were measured by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The optimum condition of modified sago starch used in biofilm in this study is by acetylation. The result show that modified acetylation of sago starch can improve the properties of biofilm Keywords: biofilms, sago, acetylation, oxidation, cross link, SEM, FTIR

Abstract DENSITY, HARDNESSAND THERMAL EXPANSION COEFFICIENTOF Ca2+-SUBSTITUTED LaCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (La1-xCaxCo0,8Fe0,2O3-δ) OXYGEN ION TRANSPORT MEMBRANE. A dense oxygen ion conductive membrane such as LaCo1-yFeyO3must be hard and has a low thermal expansion coefficient to survive harsh reaction condition in its application. Substitution of La3+ with Ca2+ is expected to improve both properties. Ca2+ substituted LaCo1-yFeyO3 powders were prepared from their respective metal oxides to become La1-xCaxCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (LCCF), where 0.1≤x≤0.4, using the solid state method. X-ray diffraction data indicates that the LCCFs are highly crystalized. The LCCF was then made into a membrane by pressing the powder in a stainless steel mold by applying 6 tonnes load for 10 minutes, followed by sintering the product at 1250°C. SEM analysis results showed that the densities of all LCCF membranes are very high. Average hardnesses of LCCF 9182, 8282, 7382 and 6482 membranes, as measured by the Vicker method,are 902.08, 915.42, 1093, and 1178.6 HV, respectively. Thermal expansion tests showed that LCCF 6482 is a membrane with the lowest thermal expansion coefficient. In addition, it is also evident that the higher the number of Ca2+substituents, the higher the hardness and the lower the thermal expansion coefficient. Substitution of La3+ by Ca2+ produced denser and harder membranes, as well as low thermal expansion coefficient, which are preferable when they are applied as oxygen ion conductive membranes. Keywords: dense membrane; La1-xCaxCo0.8Fe0,2O3-δ; oxigen ion transfer; perovskite  Abstrak Kekerasan tinggi dan koefisien muai panas rendah adalah sifat mekanik yang perlu dimiliki oleh membran rapat penghantar ion oksigen seperti oksida perovskit LaCo1-yFeyO3, agar dapat bertahan ketika digunakan. Substitusi La3+ oleh Ca2+ diperkirakan dapat memperbaiki kedua sifat tersebut. LaCo1-yFeyO3 tersubstitusi Ca2+disintesis dari oksida-oksida logamnya sehingga memiliki komposisi La1-xCaxCo0,8Fe0,2O3-δ (LCCF) dengan 0,1≤x≤0,4 dengan metode solid state melalui kalsinasi pada suhu 1000°C. Data difraksi sinar-X menunjukkan bahwa serbuk LCCF yang dihasilkan memiliki kekristalan yang tinggi. LCCF tersebut selanjutnya dibuat menjadi membran yang diawali oleh pencetakan melalui penekanan serbuk LCCF dengan beban 6 ton selama 10 menit di dalam cetakan  baja tahan karat dan dilanjutkan dengan sintering hasil pencetakan pada suhu 1250°C. Hasil pengamatan dengan SEM menunjukkan bahwa kerapatan semua membran LCCF yang dihasilkan sangat tinggi. Kekerasan rata-rata membran yang diukur dengan metode Vicker adalah 902,08;  915,42; 1093; dan 1178,6 HV masing-masing untuk LCCF 9182, 8282, 7382 dan 6482. Pengujian muai panas menunjukkan bahwa LCCF 6482 adalah membran dengan koefisien muai panas tekecil. Selain itu terlihat pula bahwa semakin tinggi jumlah substituen Ca2+, semakin tinggi pula kekerasannya dan semakin rendah koefisien muai panasnya. Substitusi La3+ oleh Ca2+ menghasilkan membran dengan kerapatan tinggi serta kekerasan dan koefisien muai panas yang lebih baik dalam aplikasi LCCF sebagai membran penghantar ion oksigen. Kata kunci: membran rapat; La1-xCaxCo0,8Fe0,2O3-δ; penghantar ion oksigen;  perovskit

Abstract

The conditions for protein hydrolysis were optimized to prepare Reutealis trisperma cake for potential animal feedstock. The cake’s content was 34.03 % protein, 6.32 % moisture, 18.56 % total sugar, 15.58 % lipid and 25.51% others. Other components in cake could be fibre and lignin. The cake is a byproduct of mechanical pressing process of the seeds and contains high protein content (34.03%). It was ground prior the hydrolysis process. A central composite design including concentration of NaOH, ratio of cake to NaOH, time and temperature were used to develop second order model to predict protein content under various experimental conditions. Protein yield was primarily affected by ratio pressed cake to NaOH and concentration of NaOH. Based on the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) model, maximum yield of protein was 11.33% which was obtained at cake/solvent ratio 1: 50; 1.5 % w/v NaOH; 15 minutes of hydrolysis at 40oC. The actual maximum protein yield from the experiment was obtained at cake/solvent ratio 1: 40; 1.5 % w/v NaOH; 20 minutes of hydrolysis at 45oC which was 21.28 %.Keywords: animal feedstock; protein hydrolysis; response surface; Reutealis trisperma
