Abstract

Research on studies analysis levels of vitamin C and β-carotene of the Tamarillo fruit shoot grafting between the Tamarillo plant and Lancing plant has been conducted. Analysis of vitamin C level was performed by iodometric method, and analysis of β- carotene levels were calculated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The research result showed that the level of vitamin C of Tamarillo fruit was 1.596%, the level of vitamin C of Lancing fruit was 0.401%, and the level of vitamin C of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes was 1.202%. While the level of β-carotene of Tamarillo fruit was 208.95 ppm, the level of β-carotene of Lancing fruit was 36.11 ppm and the level of - carotene of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes was 253.64 ppm. It can be concluded that the vitamin C levels of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes decreased slightly. While the β-carotene levels of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes increased.

Abstract

The utilization of used polystyrene as adhesive material for emulsion polymer asphalt has been carried out. Polystyrene foam was dissolved in toluene at the ratio of 30:70 mL, then the solution was mixed with aquadest at ratios of 90: 10 mL, 70: 30 mL, 50: 50 mL, 30:70 mL, and 10: 90 mL. Then added with 10 mL of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate solution at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The most stable latex polystyrene was mixed with 200 g of sand aggregate at volume ratios of 10 mL, 20 mL, 30 mL, 40 mL, and 50 mL. Then the mixture was pressed into a hotpress at 150ºC for 20 minutes. The mixture obtained was characterized using tensile strength testing, water absorption, and SEM spectroscopy. The results showed that the mixture of sand aggregate with 50 mL latex polystyrene has the best compressive strength and water absorption, at a load of 1606 Kg.f, a stroke of 14.93 mm/minutes, and a water absorption percentage of 18%. The morphology result showed that the surface of sand aggregate with 50 mL of latex polystyrene mixture contains smaller and least holes than the surface of sand aggregate with 10 mL of latex polystyrene mixture.

Abstract

Isolation of flavonoid compounds from Salam (Syzygium polyantha Wight) leaves has been done by maceration technique with methanol solvent. Methanol extract obtained was evaporated and dissolved with ethyl acetate. The solution was then concentrated and evaporated. The ethyl acetate fraction was dissolved with methanol and partitioned with n-hexane solvent. The methanol layer was evaporated and then tested with Benedict’s reagent and then acidified with HCl 6% while heated. It was then extracted partition with chloroform. The chloroform layer was separated using Column Chromatography with silica gel as the stationary phase and n-hexane: ethyl acetate 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40 v/v, respectively as the mobile phase. The pure compound was paste, brownish red, mass = 8.5 mg, and Rf=0.60. It was a positive reaction with flavonoid compound reagents. The compound was further identified by using UV-Visible, FT-IR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Spectroscopy data obtained indicated that the compound is a flavonoid.

Abstract

The liquid waste contained several metals such as Cr, Cu, and Ni in concentrations of 64 mg / L, 252 mg / L, and 125 mg / L, which may cause environmental pollution. The process of coating metal has resulted in heavy metal waste. The electrocoagulation process is a combination between electrochemical processes and coagulation-flocculation processes. This research aims to use the electrocoagulation method as an alternative for treating wastewater containing heavy metals in particular. The results showed a decreasing trend of percentage in metal content with decreased levels of 99.931%, 99.837%, and 99.994% for Cr, Cu, and Ni, respectively.

Abstract

Research on the determination of potassium in empty bunches palm oil have been done with the flame photometry method. The samples were taken randomly from five areas in Northen Sumatera with various heights in the range of < 25- 400 m above sea level. The first sampling was of Datuk Bandar district at Tanjung Balai < 25 m, Meranti district at Kisaran 50 to 100 m, Bosar Maligas district at Simalungun 150-200 m, Simarimbun district at Pematang Siantar 250 to 300 m, and the last Sari Matondang district at Sidamanik 350-400 m. The sample was digested using concentrated nitric aid and 30% hydrogen peroxide then heated with the addition of nitric acid concentrated. Potassium content was measured with a flame photometer at specific 767.5 nm by using calibration methods. The result obtained that potassium contents in the samples were 11.83%; 17.56%; 21.89%; 24.68%, and 25.14% for Tanjung Balai, Kisaran, Simalungun, Pematang Siantar, and Sidamanik respectively. The data obtained showed the higher area of the sea, the lower the temperature so the content of potassium increased in the palm oil empty bunches.

Abstract

Sulfated chitosan has been successfully synthesized through sulfation reaction between chitosan and chlorosulfonic acid using catalyst and N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. The first step was sulfation of chitosan with 4; 4.5; 5 mL of HClSO3. The formation of sulfated chitosan was supported by an increased solubility in water and the appearance of peaks at 1111 cm-1, which indicated the C-O-S group. Sulfated chitosan that has been produced, has a degree of sulfation of 5.6041%; 6.0045%; 6.8051%. Sulfated chitosan shows moderate antibacterial activity and a wide spectrum of antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacterias. The increase in the degree of sulfation was proportional to the increase in antimicrobial activity of both bacteria. The highest antibacterial activity based on inhibitory zone diameter was 10 mm for sulfated chitosan that has been produced from 1 g of chitosan with 5 mL of HClSO3 with a degree of sulfation was 6.8051%.
