Abstract

Nitrogen is one of the macro nutrients to increase plant growth and production. Yogurt is a processed product which is a fermented milk product that has long been known and has a specific sour taste. Yogurt contains streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria that live in symbiosis. Sweet potato leaves Its nutritional value can be increased through fermentation because fermentation can increase protein digestibility, reduce crude fiber content, improve the taste and aroma of feed ingredients and reduce heavy metal levels. Sweet potato leaves contain crude fiber of 25.71%, 69.50% moisture content. Nitrogen 13.41% .. This research was conducted for 3 weeks. 2 weeks in the fermentation process of nitrogen fertilizer solution and 1 week of giving it to plants. The results showed that the stem height, leaf color of the chilies changed after giving nitrogen fertilizer.

Abstract

The study of pH and ionic strength on Pb(II) and Ni(II) sorption with AHUF adsorbent has been investigated. The AHUF was synthesized from humic acid (AH) with urea-formaldehyde (UF) and characterization by FTIR, SEM-EDX, total acidity content, and pH zero point charge (pHpzc). The study of pH and ionic strength using the batch system. The formation of AHUF was identified based on; decreases in total acidity (349.30 cmol/kg), emerging peaks at 3351, 1258, and 1049 cm-1 by FTIR, and increases of N atoms 21.06% by EDX. The results indicate the adsorption of Pb(II) and Ni(II) are strongly dependent on pH and ionic strength at pH < 6. The AHUF have a pHpzc value is 4.82 with optimum sorption on pH 5. The variations of NaCl to adsorption Pb(II) and Ni(II) caused a decrease in the value of ionic activity from 0.999 M – 0.309 M, the amount of adsorbed will decreased.

Abstract

Coffee drinks are drinks that come from the processing and extraction of coffee beans. One of which is caffeine. Coffee contains approximately 24 of the most important substances. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of caffeine in coffee drinks from various types of packaging. The research stages include sample collection and preparation; identification of caffeine content; and examination of caffeine levels using UV spectrophotometry. The results showed that the three samples of coffee drinks sold at the minimarket in Jermal, Medan contained caffeine, and the levels of caffeine in coffee drinks were 26,352±0,292 mg/100mL (Sample A), 15,179±0,286 mg/100mL (Sample B), and 7,965±0,98 mg/100mL (Sample C). The caffeine content obtained meets the requirements of SNI, where the maximum amount of caffeine that can be consumed by the public in a day based on SNI is 50 mg–150 mg.

Abstract

Biosorbent derived from agricultural waste as one of the widely used adsorbents has many applications in the environment to remove pollutants, one of which is heavy metal copper (Cu). In this paper, natural sources of agricultural waste materials have been reviewed and have potential as biosorbents for the absorption of heavy metal copper (Cu). The characteristics of the biosorbent that can be used for the absorption of heavy metal copper (Cu) depend on the surface area and pore structure made by the modified method. The biosorbent modification method depends on the precursor and the expected biosorbent characteristics. Natural biosorbents can be converted into modified biosorbents by chemical, physical, or physico-chemical modifications. Therefore, this paper aims to provide information about the absorption of adsorbents from agricultural wastes that have been reported for the absorption of heavy metal copper (Cu) in wastewater

Abstract

This study aims to determine the highest levels of bioethanol produced through the fermentation process, by looking at the effect of variations in the amount of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, immobilization, and fermentation time, as well as the effect of the amount of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fermentation time on the ethanol content produced. The highest ethanol content was 39.5 percent in the bioethanol test, with the amount of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 8 grams and fermentation time of 9 days. The treatment given to the number of immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and the length of time of fermentation had a major effect on the ethanol content produced, as shown by Anova.

Abstract

Cholesterol in the blood is a form of sterol derived from a lipid molecule that serves as the main structural component of plasma membrane. Atherosclerosis is a change characterized by thickening of the arterial walls due to the accumulation of cholesterol in the intima of blood vessels. By using SPSS analysis, it was found that the Shapiro-Wilk Normality Test with a sig value > 0.05, the data were normally distributed. The results of the analysis in the Test of Homogeneity of Variences table obtained a Sig Value 0.106. This the value of Sig = 0.106 > 0.05, them ho is accept. Thus the ethanol extract of ginger, pandan leaves, citronella, cinnamon, has the potential to reduce cholesterol levels. By using four different doses, the rat group at a dose 100mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 90,75(mg/dl) ± 11,58, the rat group at a dose 200mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 95,5(mg/dl) ± 6,80, the rat group at a dose 300mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 75,75 (mg/dl)± 2,06, the rat group at a dose 400mg/kgbw showed cholesterol levels of 67,5mg/dl ± 2,64.
