Abstract

Biodiesel obtained from vegetable oils and animal fats, is a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Biodiesel production through esterification and transesterification processes with an emphasis on the role of catalysts in increasing efficiency. The use of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. Homogeneous catalysts, such as NaOH and KOH, are effective in increasing the reaction, but face challenges in product separation and soap formation that can reduce biodiesel yields. In contrast, heterogeneous catalysts such as CaO and zeolites offer advantages in terms of reuse and waste reduction, although with slightly lower efficiency. In addition, important factors such as catalyst concentration, alcohol to oil ratio, and reaction temperature are also reviewed to maximize biodiesel yields. Optimal catalyst concentration is essential to increase conversion efficiency, as inappropriate concentrations can slow down the reaction. The importance of choosing the right catalyst and process conditions in producing biodiesel efficiently, while considering the environmental impact of using raw materials, especially palm oilContribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 13: Climate ActionSDG 15: Life on Land

Abstract

Strawberries are a fruit widely consumed globally, but they have a short shelf life. Consequently, maintaining and storing strawberries is quite challenging. Fruit preservation using edible coatings has gained significant attention due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of preparation. In this study, we compared an edible coating made from potato peel starch to pure starch (Merck), using a mix that included 4% starch, 50% extract from sungkai leaves, and 34% glycerol based on the total starch. An edible coating formulation was applied to strawberries, and physicochemical analysis was carried out on days 0, 2, 4, and 6. The results showed that strawberries coated with edible coating showed more optimal results than strawberries without edible coating on day 4. Strawberries with an edible coating of potato peel starch with the addition of extract from sungkai leaves had the best results: a weight loss of 82.15%, total soluble solids of 9.67 brix, total titratable acid of 1.18%, total antioxidants of 149.3 mg AAE/gFW, and total phenolics of 206,56 mg AAE/Gfw.

Abstract

Banana wine has high nutritional content and relatively high antioxidant levels. Thisstudy aims to test and analyze sugar concentration and the effect of optimal dilution toobtain banana wine with good characteristics and by SNI standards. The method used toachieve the objectives is the sugar content in the fermentation media and the amount offermentation media dilution. In this study, several sugar levels were tested (10%, 15%,20%, and 25%) and diluted fermentation media (1:3, 1:4, and 1:5). The data obtainedwere then analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Based on the results of objectiveobservations of the banana wine produced, treatment with 20% sugar content producedthe best banana wine with the characteristics of total sugar 10.66%, alcohol content8.03%, total acid 0.26%, acidity level (pH) 2.37, and total microbes 1.4 x 101 CFU/g,with the highest panelist assessment and typical odor and taste. Subjective researchresults with organoleptic tests showed that the treatment of sugar content and dilutionamount did not change the color and aroma of banana wine. The highest wine tasteassessment was obtained in treating 20% sugar at a dilution of 1:4, which was 5.67(somewhat like it). The highest overall wine acceptance assessment was obtained in thetreatment of 20% sugar at a dilution of 1:4, which was 5.73 (somewhat like it). Themethanol content test results were <0.0036% so in making banana wine from localbananas, it is recommended to use 20% sugar with a dilution of 1:4 fermentation media.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 2 – Zero HungerSDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being|SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic GrowthSDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

The reduction of petroleum reserves is a severe problem faced by many countries. With the help of the rapid development of science and technology, vegetable oil can not only be consumed but can also be processed into something that has more value, one of which is biodiesel. Biodiesel is a clean renewable fuel and can be used as the best substitute for diesel fuel. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of research related to the production of biodiesel from sunflower oil using base catalysts. This research was conducted using the transesterification reaction method with the help of catalysts. Then the biodiesel yield from sunflower oil can be influenced by several factors, including the amount of catalyst, reaction temperature, reaction time, stirring speed, and molar ratio between methanol and oil. Based on the research, several tests were carried out. The first test was based on the influence of stirring speed, the results showed that the faster the stirring, the more biodiesel yield. The second test was based on the effect of reaction time; the results indicated that the reaction time could not significantly increase the biodiesel yield. The third test was based on the effect of the molar ratio of methanol and oil, the results showed that the optimum ratio could help drive the transesterification reaction towards the product. The fourth test looked at how the concentration of KOH solution affects the amount of biodiesel produced; the results showed that using the best amount of catalyst can make the transesterification reaction work better. The fifth test was based on the effect of reaction temperature; the results showed that at high temperatures (60°C) methanol mixes more easily with oil so that the biodiesel formation reaction takes place faster. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that sunflower oil can be used as one of the ingredients in making biodiesel.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 7: Affordable and Clean EnergySDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 13: Climate Action
