Abstract

Pectin can be utilized in various industries of making jelly, jam, gelling, thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier. In this study the extraction of pectin from orange peel (Citrus sinensis) using ultrasonic waves and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) was conducted to determine the effect of variation in settling time and concentration of the alcohol as the pectin filtrate precipitating material on the characteristics of the pectin produced. The study was carried out with 30 minutes extraction time, extraction temperature of 70 oC using H2SO4. Variations carried out were settling time for 14 hours, 16 hours, 18 hours and 20 hours, and concentration of the alcohol ; 65%, 75%, 85% and 95%. Characteristics of pectin produced with successive characteristics: yield ranged from 16.44%-22.44%; moisture content from 4.0-9.45%; ash content of 2.34%-5.54%; equivalent weight of 510.20-865.07 mg; methoxyl content of 7.35%-10.79%; and galacturonic content of 63.71%-95.74%. The 18-hour settling time with 95% ethanol produced the most yield with the best pectin characteristics that met IPPA (International Pectin Producers Association) standards.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the effects of filler loading and pressure of hot press on tensile strength of zinc oxide (ZnO) filled polyester composites. The Composites were prepared by using polyester as the matrix, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) as the catalyst. The composites were filled by the zinc oxide at 0%; 1%; 3%; 5%; and 7% were molded by hot press with pressure variation of 50 psi, 75 psi, 100 psi, 125 psi and 150 psi. Composites have been molded, then tested for the characteristics Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and tests of tensile strength. The best result of tensile strength, impact and flexural were found on the addition of 3% ZnO at a pressure of 150 psi with a tensile strength of 55,12 MPa. SEM characterization showed a rough surface on the addition of 3% ZnO at a pressure of 150 psi because had a good wetting between matrix and filler ZnO.

Abstract

Anaerobic digestion is one of solution to environmental problems and energy sources for current energy needs. In anaerobic digestion, organic material is degraded by bacteria, which is carried out without oxygen, and converts it to a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide. POME can be degraded anaerobically in anaerobic digester to produce biogas. This study aims to increase the conversion of biogas produced using a 2 liter Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) type digester in the methanogenesis process by recycling the effluent produced through the ultrafiltration membrane in a transition condition (45oC). The process is carried out by varying the recycle ratio, which is 0%, 15% and 25% on HRT 6 days with a condition of pH 7 ± 0.2. The highest average biogas production was achieved at the 25% recycle ratio of 33.15 x 10-5 L / mg VS. day, with the composition of methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide each of 79%; 19%; and 0.006%, with degradation of VS and COD of 39.58% and 66.33% respectively. For the composition of the highest CH4 content obtained at a variation of the 15% recycle ratio which is equal to 85% while for the composition of carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide each is 14%; and 0.0076%.

Abstract

Jasmine flower (Jasminum sambac) contains essential oil compounds. Jasmine flower essential oil is a high-quality essential oil. Essential oils are volatile oils that have aroma similar to the original plant. Jasmine flower essential oil is sought due to its calming and anti-depression nature. In this study, the effect of extraction temperature, extraction time and solvent to jasmine flower ratio on jasmine oil was studied. The extraction was carried out at 30oC, 35oC, and 40oC for 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours by using n-hexane. The ratio of jasmine flower to n-hexanes were 1:3; 1:4; and 1:5 (w/v). Resulting jasmine oil was analyzed by GC-MS, and its quality was assessed according to SNI 06-2385-2006 which include colour test, refractive index analysis, acid number analysis, and ester number analysis. This experiment showed that increasing of extraction time, extraction temperature, and volume of solvent lead to increase of absolute yield of jasmine essential oil. The highest jasmine oil yield obtained at 11.69 %. The jasmine oil contained was 47.14 % benzyl acetate and had yellow color. Its refractive index, acid number, and ester number were 1.478, 20.92 mg KOH/gram jasmine essential oil, and 150.27 mg KOH/gram jasmine essential oil respectively.

Abstract

Catechins are a major components in the plant gambier. Beside catechins, there are several other components such as acid catechu tannat, quersetin, red catechu, gambier flouresin, fats and waxes. More than 80% of gambier production in Indonesia comes from the province of West Sumatra and North Sumatra, mainly in Limapuluh and Pakpak Bharat. Extraction of catechins from gambir leaf was performed by means of maceration that is soaking with a solvent polar. Maceration is carried out by temperature variations, 30°C, 40°C, 60°C and 80°C; maceration of time that is 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours; and the type of solvent is aquadest, 96% ethanol, 95% ethyl acetate, and a mixture of 96% ethanol and 95% ethyl acetate (1:1). The results were filtered to obtain the filtrate which is then concentrated by rotary vacuum evaporator to test the levels of catechins, moisture content, and ash content. Based on this research the highest levels of catechins obtained the maceration temperature operating conditions of 60 ° C with a time of 6 hours maceration and used 95 % ethyl acetate as solvents in the amount of 87.14 % to 0.925 % moisture content and ash content of 0.04 % .

Abstract

Glucose syrup is a trade name of hydrolysis of starch solution. The purpose of this research is to produce glucose syrup from banana peel and examine the variables that affect the hydrolysis process. The process of making glucose syrup in this study through a series of treatment until the resulting slurry is ready to be processed banana peel. Hydrolysis process is then performed using α-amylase and glucoamylase enzyme. This process is carried out in four phases: liquefaction, saccharification, purification and concentration. In the liquefaction process to vary the weight of raw materials: water (10% w / v, 20% w / v, 30% w / v and 40% w / v) and heating temperature (60oC, 70oC, 80oC and 90oC). In this research shows that the best glucose syrup is in the variation of glucose syrup raw materials: water 10% w / v at a temperature of 90oC which produces reducing sugar 9.86% and 98.56% DE value.

Abstract

Bioplastics are a type of plastic made ​​from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable oil, corn starch, pea starch, and microbiota. Starch from tubers of talas (Colocasia esculenta) as a potential raw material for bioplastics by using glycerol as plastizicer. The purposes of the research are to know effect of adding glycerol to the properties of tensile strength and elongation at break bioplastic from starch taro tubers. In this research, the manufacture of bioplastics using casting methode with variations of starch solution (0,2 w/v, 0,3 w/v, and 0,4 w/v). The next additions to vary the volume of glycerol (1 % v, 2 % v, and 3 % v) and heating temperature of gelatin formation (60oC, 70oC, and 80oC). The results showed that bioplastics made ​​from taro tuber starch has gelatinization temperature of 70oC. The addition of glycerol volume effect value of tensile strength and elongation at break of bioplastics. Increasing volume of glycerol will decrease tensile strength but increase elongation at break value. The best of bioplastics in this research is a variation of starch bioplastic 0,3 w/v, addition of 1 % v glycerol at a temperature of 70°C with a value of tensile strength is 18,4992 MPa and elongation at break value is 2,1290%.

Abstract

Adsorption capacity was calculated in Eichornia crassipes adsorbent. In several areas of Aceh province such as Meulaboh, Takengon, and Tamiang, people extirpate Eichornia crassipes because it is considered disturbing water flow. Therefore, this research tries to investigate the utilization of Eichornia crassipes so that it could be used as bioadsorbent in order to reduce heavy metal from waste water. The main obejctive of this research is to reduce lead content, and to determine the best condition of lead adsorption in solution by using Eichornia crassipes powder. The analysis is conducted by using Atomic Adsorption Spectrophotometer. Research result indicates that optimum adsorption occurs at solution with pH of 4.4, lead concentration of 40 mg/L, and contact time of 75 minutes. Lead adsorption by Eichornia crassipes biomass follows adsorption isotherm of Langmuir and pseudo-second order with capacity of adsorption (am) of 27,78 mg/g, and adsorption constant (K) is 12 L/mg.
