Abstract

Water is the source of life on the surface of the earth. But often the water used for life contains many organic compounds that are harmful to life. This is due to contamination of water sources by compounds from many places, one of which is waste from the tapioca industry. One method that can be used to reduce water pollution is the coagulation process using certain coagulants. The ability of Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) and aluminum sulfate as coagulant is utilized in the processing of tapioca wastewater to reduce COD and TSS levels. This study aims to determine the effect of coagulant dose and flocculation time on decreasing COD and TSS levels in tapioca wastewater from Purbalingga Aci Factory. The method used is coagulation using PAC and aluminum sulfate as a coagulant with a variation of the coagulant dose of 2000; 4000; 6000; 8000 and 10,000 mg/L as well as variations in flocculation time 25; 30; 35; 40 and 45 minutes. The results showed that the coagulant dose and flocculation time had an effect on decreasing COD and TSS in tapioca wastewater. The best use of PAC coagulant at a dose of 6000 mg/L with a flocculation time of 45 minutes, namely the COD value of 375.2 mg/L and TSS 110 mg/L. While the best use of aluminum sulfate coagulant at a dose of 8000 mg/L with a flocculation time of 45 minutes, namely the COD value of 203.2 mg/L and TSS 590 mg/L

Abstract

Food foams provide texture and structure for many food products, such as meringues. Meringues, a fundamental of culinary arts,  commonly consist of whipped egg white and sugar and have about most of the air phase. These types of composition allow for making different products with the same ingredients; thus, meringue design is essential to investigate foam stability and ability. This study aims to examine the foam stability of meringue using the different components such as protein as emulsifiers (egg white and gelatin) and the composition of sugars (icing and granule) on the foam stability and formation of meringue. Using gelatin as an emulsifier showed the foam more stable than egg white (>24 h), and adding the icing sugar with gelatin made the foam texture smoother. On the other hand, foam formation was faster when using emulsifier egg white, but stability was less than gelatin. The more stable foam produced by the combination of emulsifier and sugar ingredients would provide a better texture of meringue after baking, a smooth surface, no hole, and a more crunchy sweet taste. It was concluded that the composition of the ingredients and type of emulsifier would affect the stability and ability of foam, resulting in the character of the meringue after baking.

Abstract

Plastic waste in Indonesia has an impact that has caused high levels of environmental pollution. The use of plastic in everyday life as a packaging continues to increase, causing plastic waste to increase day by day. Plastic waste derived from petroleum raw materials is difficult to decompose by microbes in the soil. Biodegradable plastics are plastics that can be degraded by microorganisms and are made from renewable materials. Research on the use of biodegradable plastic synthesis has been developed because it is environmentally friendly and renewable. Biodegradable plastic is an alternative material to replace conventional plastic packaging so as not to pollute the environment. Biodegradable plastic is made with natural polymers as the main ingredient so that it is easily digested by microorganisms. Corn starch is a waste from corn processing used by the food industry. The starch content in corn starch can be used to make biodegradable plastic. In this study, biodegradable plastic was synthesized from corn starch with chitosan and calcium silicate as filler and then glycerol as a plasticizer. The purpose of this study was to determine the variation of filler on the results of biodegradable plastics made.  The characteristics of biodegradable  were  marked  by  the  presence  of  Tensile Strength, Elongation and Biodegradibility tests according to SNI Standards. The highest Tensile Strength value was obtained for the Chitosan variation of 2.62 Mpa and for the Calcium Silicate Variation of 2.8 Mpa, then for the Elongation Value for the Chitosan and Calcium Silicate Variations in accordance with SNI standards, which was 10-40% and for the Biodegradability of Chitosan and Calcium Silicate Variations.

Abstract

Curcumin has been identified as the most abundant bioactive constituent in turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract (2 - 8% w/w). Curcumin is used as a preservative, flavoring, and yellowish colorant agent in the food industry. Modern scientific studies have confirmed its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and antimicrobial properties. Curcumin is easily oxidized and light-damaged, and it is insoluble in water. This product's shelf life should be increased. Curcumin microencapsulation into powder solves these issues. This process has been used because of its low cost, equipment availability, continuous production, and ease of industry. Curcumin powder in food could be crude turmeric powder (0.58 - 3.14%w/w), curry powder (0.11 - 0.58%w/w), or spray dried turmeric oleoresin curcumin powder (40 - 50%w/w). Spray drying coats the curcumin core material into the matrix powder, improving stability. The wall material (gum arabic, maltodextrin, or chitosan) and emulsifying agent were dispersed in continuous phase with the curcumin core material to prepare the microencapsulated flowing powders. Several formulation modifications in spray drying methods, such as co-dried and binary blend materials, have been investigated to improve the stability of curcumin. Curcumin powder is becoming more popular as a treatment for a variety of ailments, as well as a compound that is generally regarded as safe. As a result, its application as a nutraceutical or functional food has the potential to be expanded further.

Abstract

Reduction of Food Losses and Wastes (FLW) through the use of cold chain is one strategy applied in accelerating the SDGs goals of zero hunger. The application of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) based on PCM (Phase Change Material) is considered as one of best efforts for the simultaneous reduction of food losses and wastes, reduction of energy consumption as well as preserve the right temperature for food product. This paper presents the review of phase change material for thermal energy purposes and its bibliometric analysis. Bibliometric analysis on term of cold chain logistics show that there is correlation between cold chain and terms of optimization, vehicle routing, carbon emission, refrigeration, and phase change materials. The definition of TES and PCM, as well as the advantages of TES based on latent material are described in this paper. PCMs is classified into solid-solid, solid-liquid, solid-gas and liquid-gas based on its phase. The potential generation of gas and larger volume on solid-gas and liquid-gas PCMs limits the application of those two types of PCMs. PCMs is also classified according to the phase change temperature in which low, medium and high temperature PCMs. Organic, inorganic and composite based PCMs are the classification of PCMs based on the chemical composition. Among the types of PCMs, this paper present a deep review of paraffin based organic PCMs. The appearance of term of thermal conductivity in bibliometric analysis on term of organic phase change materials is due to organic PCMs commonly have low thermal conductivity
