Abstract

This research aimed to study the characteristics of carbonized durian peel biobriquette using tar as a binder. A 1:10 ratio of binder and carbonized durian peel was used. The 25, 50, and 75% (coded as P1, P2, and P3, respectively) tar were used as a binder alongside tapioca flour to produce a binder with different tar concentrations. The briquette characteristics determined moisture content, ash content, calorific value, density, and water-absorbing capacity. Moisture content ranged from 9.32% to 9,41% for treatments P1 to P3, while the ash content ranged from 12,29% to 13,09%, showing no significant difference among the treatments. Massive difference was observed in calorific value, as P1 gives 5106/35 cal g-1 calorific value while P2 and P3 give 9267.56 and 9694.53 cal g-1, respectively. The density observed was relatively low, ranging from 0.5029 g cm-3 to 0,5685 g cm-2. As for water-absorbing capacity, P3 absorbed the least amount of water, 29.43%. From this research, we can conclude that coconut shell tar has the potential to be utilized as a binder in forming biobriquette from carbonized durian peel.

Abstract

Red kidney bean tempeh production is generally made by beans without the epidermis, but in this study, the epidermis was removed from the red beans, dried and powdered, and then added back to the tempeh red beans. This research aims to determine the effect of adding red bean skin powder on the physical, chemical, and organoleptic properties of the tempeh produced. The design used in this research was a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications. The treatment in this research was wet peeled red beans without skin (control) and the addition of red kidney bean skin powder starting from 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% in red kidney beans before fermentation. Research data was analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% level. The results of this research showed that the treatments caused significantly different texture values, water content, ash content, protein content, crude fiber content, and iron (Fe) content, but no significant differences in fat content or carbohydrate content. The best treatment based on physical, chemical and organoleptic analysis was treatment C (addition of 30% red bean skin powder) with an average texture value of 2.01 N/cm2, water content of 61.63%, ash content of 0.72%, protein content of 15.83%, fat content of 1.51%, carbohydrate content of 20.30%, crude fiber content of 6.95%, iron content of 5.00 mg/g coliform content of 0.32 APM/g, and salmonella negative/g. The organoleptic test values were color 6.20 (preferred), texture 6.15 (preferred), taste 4.05 (less preferred), and aroma 4.45 (less preferred).

Abstract

An eggshell is estimated to have around 10,000–20,000 pores; this condition created a chance for the eggshells to be used as an adsorbent. This research aims to activate egg shells used as an adsorbent. Egg shells were applied as an adsorbent in solutions of lead (Pb) and iron (Fe). Test parameters for adsorption capacity were carried out on the optimum mass and absorption contact time with lead (Pb) and iron (Fe) while using the eggshell waste as an adsorbent. The adsorbent quality of egg shells was tested using parameters such as ash content, water content, and adsorption capacity towards methyl blue. This research aims to utilize egg shells as an adsorbent to absorb lead (Pb) and iron (Fe) content using an adsorption process. There are 3 stages of a method for this research to establish: adsorbent preparation, adsorbent activation, and the adsorption process. The adsorption process was carried out with variations of the mass sample, which are 0.75 grams, 1 gram, 1.25 grams, 1.50 grams, and 2 grams and time variations when contact occurred in 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes. The outcome of this research showed that the highest adsorption capacity at the optimum mass of Pb metal was 1.5 grams at 98.914% and for Fe metal at 96.386%. The highest adsorption capacity results were influenced by Pb metal contact time in 40 minutes, which was 99.30%, and the best capacity for adsorption of Fe metal was at a contact time in 50 minutes, which was 99.82%.

Abstract

Shrimp paste is a processed fishery product made from shrimp, fish or both. Food safety is the conditions and efforts needed to prevent food from three possible contaminations, namely microbiological, chemical and other contamination that can disturb, harm and endanger human health. This research aimed to determine the relationship between hygiene and sanitation and microbiological contamination (Escherichia coli and Salmonella); and determine the presence of contamination (rhodamine B and lead) qualitatively and quantitatively in shrimp paste circulating in Sidoarjo Regency. This research was carried out by taking 23 samples from 23 traders in the centre of Sidoarjo Regency using the purposive sampling method. This research consisted of an interview process, sanitation hygiene observations, microbiological contamination analysis (Escherichia coli and Salmonella) and chemical contamination analysis (rhodamine B and lead). The results of microbiological analysis on 23 samples of shrimp paste in Sidoarjo Regency were positive for the presence of Escherichia coli bacteria. Two samples of shrimp paste had values ??< 3.6 MPN/g, and data was obtained that environmental sanitation practices correlated with Escherichia coli contamination in shrimp paste samples in Sidoarjo with (p<0.05). The presence of Salmonella bacteria and rhodamine B chemical contamination was not detected in all samples of shrimp paste in Sidoarjo Regency. However, 14 samples of shrimp paste were identified as contaminated with the heavy metal lead >1.0 mg/kg. Based on the results of these four parameters, the "I" shrimp paste sample has fulfilled the SNI (2716:2016) criteria well when compared with 22 other types of shrimp paste in Sidoarjo Regency.

Abstract

Avocado starch has gained attention as a potential bio-based material due to its unique features that make it suitable for forming biofilms. This work thoroughly examines the changing field of research focused on using avocado starch for biofilm applications. It uses VOSviewer, a tool for analyzing bibliometric data, to uncover important insights using a database of Scopus-indexed journal publishers. This study aimed to determine research trends on the use of avocado starch for biofilm production. The Scopus database collected information on research trends in the use of avocado starch for biofilm production. To obtain search results, subject categories with titles, keywords, and abstract criteria from the use of avocado starch extraction, biofilm/bioplastic production, and biocomposite were used as a reference. Using VOSviewer, search result extraction was performed. The results of bibliometric mapping were then further evaluated. The findings of the bibliometric study are demonstrated through network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization. The findings indicate that starch produced from avocados has the potential to be a viable resource for manufacturing biofilms. However, further investigation is required to enhance the overall quality of the produced biofilm.
