Abstract

Isolation and characterization of hemicellulose from empty oil palm bunches have been carried out. The method used in the isolation is alkali extraction with NaOH solvent. Hemicellulose isolated from empty oil palm bunches was analyzed by organoleptic and solubility tests. Functional group analysis was carried out using FTIR, and morphology was performed using SEM. The highest yield of 12.84% was obtained from the variation of 0.5 N NaOH solvent. Organoleptic and solubility tests showed that the characteristics of hemicellulose isolated from empty oil palm bunches were by the characteristics of hemicellulose in general. The FTIR results of hemicellulose showed the specific absorption peaks of OH stretching, C-H stretching, C=O bending, C-OH bending, and C-C stretching. SEM photos show the rough and fibrous shape of the hemicellulose powder surface.

Abstract

As time goes by, technological development is becoming increasingly rapid. Many researchers, especially chemists, take advantage of this situation to advance their research. Furthermore, to support their research, it generally requires a significant amount of funding, because identifying a single compound necessitates numerous tools to determine whether it contains other compounds or their derivatives that can be used as potential drug candidates. Cataract drugs are not widely available in the world, therefore this article discusses cataract drugs. Docking computational methods and HKSA were used to identify a compound and its derivatives as drug candidates. The identified compound is campesterol and its derivatives. In the lanosterol protein, there are campesterol compounds and their derivatives that can be used for toothache medication. The results obtained through the HKSA process indicate that campesterol and its derivatives can be used as cataract medication.

Abstract

Oil palm bunches Empty fruit bunches are the main lignocellulosic solid waste that has not been optimally utilized, so many empty bunches are not processed. Unprocessed EFB causes a foul odor and becomes a place for flies to nest. Thus, it is considered as waste that pollutes the environment. Adsorption is a popular new method to reduce heavy metal content and waste in water, in addition the adsorption method is also effective and efficient in terms of the absorption process, and can also be a regeneration adsorbent. This study began with the preparation of empty oil palm bunches which were then carbonized and activated with H3PO4, then synthesized with MOFs-Cu(TAC). The final stage was tested for absorption by optimizing mass and time. The XRD pattern shows sharp peaks that appear on the graph indicating metal contact and the KA-Cu(TAC) composite has a good and regular crystal structure. The KA-Cu(TAC) composite has great potential as an alternative adsorbent to improve the quality of palm oil because it has good absorption.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest coffee producing and exporting countries in the world. One of the types of coffee that is famous in Indonesia is arabica coffee. This study examines the impact of different gas environments (open, semi-closed, and closed) on the fermentation process of Arabica coffee beans (Coffea arabica L.) at various temperatures (40°C, 60°C, and 80°C). The key factors analyzed were the moisture content and pH levels of the beans after fermentation and roasting. The findings revealed that both gas environment and temperature had a significant effect on the moisture content and pH of the beans, with higher temperatures (80°C) leading to a faster reduction in moisture. Additionally, the pH level was higher under open gas conditions. This research offers valuable information on how fermentation conditions influence the chemical properties and qualities of Arabica coffee beans.

Abstract

The Carnot cycle consists of four processes: two isothermal and two adiabatic, which increase efficiency by regulating temperature. In contrast, the Rankine cycle overcomes Carnot's weaknesses by using steam heating and condensation. In addition, making candles from used cooking oil is an environmentally friendly innovation that processes waste into useful products. This process involves heating the oil to remove odors, mixing it with paraffin, and adding aromas. Making lamps from cans also utilizes used materials, demonstrating creativity in waste management. The 1:3 ratio (paraffin:oil), which is more oil-dominant, results in the fastest and most efficient burn, with the highest amount of candle mass burned after 40 minutes. This is suitable for applications that require rapid burning, such as in the creation of a moving nightlight that utilizes the Carnot cycle to convert heat into mechanical energy for movement. In contrast, the 3:1 ratio (paraffin:oil) produces a harder and more durable candle, with less mass burned, making it more suitable for long-term use and stable movement. The 1:2 and 2:1 ratios provide a balance between burn duration and light intensity, allowing them to be chosen based on specific needs.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ice gel packs based on tapioca flour mixed with natural ingredients such as vinegar, lemon and lime as a cooling alternative. Ice gel pack is made through a process of mixing the ingredients until homogeneous, heating to form a gel, and freezing. Characteristic tests carried out include pH, freezing time, and temperature changes. The research results show that the acidity level of ingredients affects product performance. Ice gel packs with lime have the lowest pH (pH = 2) and show the best ability to maintain cold temperatures, while vinegar with the highest pH (pH = 4) freezes the fastest but is less effective in maintaining temperature. This research proves that a combination of natural ingredients can produce ice gel packs that are environmentally friendly, efficient, and have wide application potential as a modern cooling solution.

Abstract

The basic properties that need to be considered and maintained in the use of an ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations are: colloidal size, plasticity of crystal structure, mineralographic composition, high cation exchange capacity, development capacity, high specific surface area, and consequently strong adsorption and absorption capacity. Clay masks can contain active ingredients in the form of antibacterial with alternative natural ingredients such as babadotan leaf extract. The analysis of the functional cluster in the study was obtained using the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) method,Evaluation of clay mask preparations includes testing of physical and chemical properties. Testing of physicochemical properties consists of organoleptics, pH, homogeneity, dispersibility, adhesion and antibacterial test against bacteria p. Acnes. The stability of the preparation will be damaged if the mixing system is disturbed, mainly due to temperature changes and changes in composition due to excessive addition of one of the phases or if the emulsifying substances are not mixed with each other. The extraction results obtained from babadotan the yield produced is 17.63%. The FTIR spectrum obtained for the clay mask formulation shows the presence of new peaks at wave numbers 3310, 2120, 1430 and 2126 cm-1 where these peaks appear due to the additional ingredients used in the cosmetic formulation.The interaction between the components of the clay mask depends on the type of clay being applied. Interactions can be seen in FTIR with additional spectral peaks caused by other additives such as glycerin, In which the interaction shows the OH group involved in water absorption. This is because the results of all evaluations, Formula I tends to be stable close to the requirements of the clay mask preparation.
