Abstract

Hand sanitizer is an antiseptic in gel form. The gel texture in hand sanitizers is caused by the carbomer which acts as a gelling agent. Therefore, this research was done to observe the effect of carbomer on the value of pH, viscosity, and microbial activity in hand sanitizers. As for testing pH using pH meters, testing viscosity was carried out using the viscometer method, while microbial activity was carried out using the Total Plate Number, Yeast Mold Number and microbial pathogen tests. Based on the data obtained, the carbomer greatly influences the increase in the viscosity of the hand sanitizer gel, the pH value was obtained at 6.0 - 7.06, while in the microbial activity test none of the microbes grew in each medium. Therefore, it can be concluded that the hand sanitizer with code P3 is the best sample

Abstract

Agarwood is one of the forest products that can be utilized and has a high selling value. Agarwood contains essential oils which have many active compounds and contains a specific aromatic resin that is naturally formed as a form of defense against physical damage or microbial infection. Agarwood essential oil with good quality has a high economic value. This study aims to extract agarwood essential oil using ethanol as a solvent. The optimal yield of agarwood essential oil can be obtained by varying the particle size, the ratio of the weight of the agarwood biomass (kg) to the volume of the solvent (L), and the length of maceration (h). The results showed that the particle size of agarwood did notaffect the yield of agarwood essential oil. The results of the comparison of agarwood biomass with the volume of the solvent showed that the ratio of 1:9 (w/v) obtained the highest yield of 4.02% and the longest maceration time with the highest yield of 4.12% for 72 hours. However, 48 hours of maceration had a greater increase in yield compared to 72 hours of maceration. The increase in yield at 48 hours to 72 hours of maceration was only 0.22% when compared to the increase in yield at 24 hours to 48 hours of maceration, which was 0.56%.

Abstract

Nagari Sikucua, Kampung Dalam Subdistrict, Padang Pariaman produces nearly 800 tons of fragrant areca nut every year which is sent to Jambi to meet export needs. Areca nut contains tannins, substances that have many benefits, some of which are anti-inflammatory, corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants. This study aims to obtain tannins in areca nut extract through a kinetic maceration process with pre-treatment with ultrasonic irradiation wave. The dried areca nut was ground and sieved with various sizes of 20, 40 and 70 mesh and then extracted with ethanol as solvent. The concentration of ethanol used consisted of 35%, 50%, 65% and 80%. Ultrasonic irradiation waves were given for the initial 15 minutes of maceration and then continued with kinetic maceration for up to 4 hours in a water bath at 45°C. The extraction results were concentrated in a rotary evaporator and then tested for tannin levels using Follin Denish reagent in the standard series of tannic acid as a comparison with spectrophotometer UV-Vis. The highest yield of tannin content 11.10% was obtained in the 4-hour maceration process with pre-treatment ultrasonic irradiation at concentration of 80% ethanol with a size of 40 mesh.

Abstract

Corrosion is a decrease in the quality of a metal material caused by a reaction with the environment. Reducing the corrosion rate on steel can be done by adding an inhibitor. Papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya.L) can be used as a corrosion inhibitor by immersion method. The effect of inhibitor on corrosion rate had been studied using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization method, and observation of steel surface using photooptic. It was found that corrosion rate decrease with increase concentration of papaya leaves extract. The highest inhibiton efficiency is 87.8% in 0.2 M hydrochloric acid with 2% concentration of papaya leaves extract. Potentiodynamic polarization method showed that papaya leaves extract decrease corrotion current. Inhibiton efficiency reached 81.58% in 2% extract concentration in which corrosion current decrease from 0.0266 mA/cm2 to 0.0049 mA/cm2. Analysis of photooptic showed that there is difference on steel surface corroded in hydrochloric acid with inhibitor and without it.

Abstract

Aquilaria Malaccensis Lam. is one of the most popular plants contains essential oil, both of them used by pharmaceutical and also cosmetic industry. The plants used in this study came from Jambi, Indonesia which is known, It’s one of the best quality agarwood in the world. This study aims to determine the best conditions for the yield so that it can be produced on an industrial scale. The study reviewed the effect of yield based on size of particles, ratio of solvent, and the operating time, maceration. The research was carried out in three steps. The first, raw material preparation, fermentation and maceration, and then evaporation. Preparation of raw materials is prepared in three variables, 2-5 cm, ±2cm, and size <40 mesh. Methanol is the solvent that will be used in multiple ratio of solvent to agarwood, its 1:7, 1:9, and 1:11(gr/mL). In addition, the maceration time was varied for each sample, 1 day, 2 days, and 3 days. Based on the research variables, obtained essential oil of agarwood dark brown in colour, with a special fragrance of agarwood. Based on the difference in particle size, it is known that size <40 mesh, yield is 3.16%, while for the larger size, 2-5 cm, the yield is 3.12%. In the variable ratio of the amount of solvent used, it is known that 1:9 (gr/ml) is the best point for yield. At maceration step known that 2-3 days, it doesn’t gives a significant change, 2.12 g for 3 days, and 1.92 g for 2 days.
