Abstract

The problem of fossil energy crisis and the increasing carbon emissions have encouraged the search for environmentally friendly alternative energy sources, one of which is through the utilization of biomass into solid fuels such as bio-char. This study aims to optimize the pyrolysis process conditions to produce high-quality bio-char from Acacia crassicarpa bark, a lignocellulosic waste from the forestry industry. The pyrolysis process was carried out in a batch reactor with variations in temperature (400–500°C), residence time (30–60 minutes), and NiMo/NZA catalyst concentration (2–6%) as independent variables. Optimization was carried out using the Response Surface Methodology approach with a Central Composite Design experimental design to obtain the optimum conditions. The results showed that the optimum conditions were obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 400°C, residence time of 30 minutes, and catalyst concentration of 2%, resulting in a bio-char yield of 33.8% with a desirability value of 0.876. Meanwhile, the highest calorific value of 28 MJ/kg was achieved at the same temperature with a residence time of 90 minutes. This value exceeds the minimum standard for solid fuels according to the International Biochar Initiative and the European Biochar Certificate, which are generally in the range of >20–25 MJ/kg. Thus, the resulting bio-char not only has potential as an alternative energy source but also meets quality standards as an efficient and sustainable solid fuel.

Abstract

Noodles are one of the most popular processed foods due to their convenience, affordability, and ease of preparation. However, conventional noodles are primarily made from wheat flour, which lacks dietary fiber and micronutrients. Therefore, this study aims to develop a more nutritious vegetable-based noodle by incorporating local ingredients such as sago flour and pakcoy. The objective was to evaluate the effect of flour ratio (wheat:sago), drying temperature, and time on the chemical and microstructural properties of pakcoy-based dried noodles using infrared tray drying. The experimental design applied Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD). Responses measured included moisture content, protein content, carbohydrate content, FTIR spectral analysis, and surface morphology via SEM. The optimal condition was achieved at a flour ratio of 85:15, drying temperature of 80°C, and 2 hours duration, resulting in 9.66% moisture, 11.79% protein, and 76.41% carbohydrates. FTIR analysis confirmed the preservation of key functional groups of carbohydrates and proteins, while SEM analysis revealed a more compact and uniform surface structure in noodles containing pakcoy. This study recommends the application of infrared drying technology in vegetable noodle processing to improve nutritional value and structural integrity
