Abstract

Telah dilakukan pengawetan telur ayam ras dengan perendaman ekstrak daun jambu biji (Psidium guajava) pada suhu ruang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui umur simpan telur ayam dan mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi ekstrak daun jambu biji dan lama waktu perendaman pada pengawetan telur ayam ras. Kadar ekstrak daun jambu biji divariasikan mulai dari 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, dan 50%. Lamanya perendaman telur ayam ras dalam larutan daun jambu biji divariasikan dari 1 jam, 3 jam, 5 jam, dan 1 hari. Lama penyimpanan telur ayam ras selama 21 hari. Telur yang telah diawetkan dengan ekstrak daun jambu biji merah (Psidium guajava) dianalisis untuk menentukan pH telur, nilai haugh unit (HU) telur dan nilai IKT. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi konsentrasi ekstrak daun jambu biji maka semakin bagus digunakan sebagai pengawet telur ayam ras. Semakin lamanya perendaman telur ayam ras pada ekstrak daun jambu biji juga mempengaruhi kualitas telur.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cream made  of coconut oil as a raw  material and the active ingredients of soursop leaf ethanol extract  and bay leaf ethanol extract as sunscreens. The cream was made by mixing the hot (700C) water phase (glycerin, distilled water, methyl paraben, and triethanolamine = TEA) and the hot (700C) oil phase (s tearic acid, coconut oil, cetyl alcohol, propyl paraben, andlanolin). After the cream was formed, the active ingredients of soursop leaf ethanol extract and bay leaf ethanol  extract were added. A cream without an active ingredient was also made as a comparison.  The produced cream was determined to have ultraviolet (UV) radiation absorption by using a UV spectrophotometer. The resulting absorbance value was used to calculate the value of the sun protection factor (SPF) using the Mansur equation. The results showed that creams without active ingredients had the lowest SPF values. With an SPF of 3.048, the cream with 2% active ingredients and 2.5% bay leaf extract was labeled as a low-performance sunscreen cream

This study aimed to determine total phenolic and flavonoid contents of methanol extract of gorek C. bonduc seeds as well as antioxidant activity. Extraction of gorek C. bonduc seeds was carried out with methanol, then quantitative determination of total phenolic by the Folin-Ciocalteu method as Gallic Acid Equivalent (GAE)/gram of extract, flavonoid content by AlCl3 method as Quercetin Equivalent (QE)/gram of extract, and in vitro antioxidant activity with DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method was in IC50 (inhibition concentration). Based on the results of research, the phytochemical screening of methanol extract of gorek C. bonduc seeds showed alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and phenolics. The determination of the total phenolic and flavonoid content were obtained 0.55 ± 0.02 mgGAE/g and 0.50 ± 0.02 mgQE/g, respectively. The antioxidant activity of methanol extracts and ascorbic acid showed IC50 values were 3770.77 ppm and 3.36 ppm respectively.

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of variations concentration of Lactobacillus acidophilus in edible coatings and their antibacterial activity against E. coli using the well diffusion method. This study used an edible coating of Prebiotic from purple sweet potato starch and Lactobacillus acidophilus with dilution variations (10-6, 10-7, 10-8, 10-9) as probiotics. In this study physical properties were tested for edible coatings such as color tests with visual observations, water content by the gravimetric method and viscosity using Viscometer Ostwald. The content of organic acids in edible coating solutions was measured using the HPLC method. Organoleptic test was conducted with taste and color parameters on the A-E scale of 30 respondents. Research results showed edible coating discoloration before and after incorporation from deep purple to brown. The value of water content and viscosity also changed from 62,8% to 71,4% and 569,97 cp to 486,64 cp respectively. The best antibacterial activity of edible coating incorporation with Lactobacillus acidophilus was 263,76 mm2. Organoleptic test on grapes that have been coated with edible coating showed that covered with edible coating contains probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus) has no effect on respondents' perception. Lactic acid and acetic acid were exist in edible coating which were incorporated with Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Abstract

Chromium (Cr) compounds are found in nature in two forms, Cr (III) and Cr (VI). Analysis of Cr (VI) was determined using spectrophotometer UV-vis. A standard solution must be fresh as a standard that is usually not used repeatedly in the measurement. This study aims to determine whether the standard solution of Cr (VI) be used for a certain period until it must be disposed of. This idea is based on Cr (VI) compounds that were categorized as hazardous and toxic materials. In this study, the shelf life of standard Cr (VI) was carried out with controlled temperature and humidity in a refrigerator at 4 ℃ during the test period of two days. In this study, there was found that every hour of storage of standard Cr (VI) will observe a change in the gradient value of the regression. The model then compared with p-value resulted in only up to 7 hours of storage with a deviation of regression slope and intercept compared with initial time (T0–T7) is 0.0062 and 0.0019 which and its increases over time. From the result, it can be concluded that standard regression can be used as a model for determining the maximum storage time by comparing the regression values each time so that the seven hours storage time is the limit where the Cr (VI) that can no longer be used as a measurement standard. It concerned that standard regression could be used as a model for determining the maximum storage time by comparing the regression values each time.

Abstract

The world's population has reached 7 billion or doubled from the previous half-century and continues to increase every year. This increase in population is directly proportional to the increase in electrical energy consumption. Electricity needs in Indonesia are mostly met by Steam Power Plants. Unfortunately, the use of coal as an energy source in Steam Power Plants can cause environmental pollution, namely the waste generated by fly ash and bottom ash. However, even though it is classified as hazardous materials, silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) content in the waste are high enough so that it can be used for the synthesis of aluminosilicate-based materials. The ash waste in this study was obtained from the Steam Power Plant in Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan Province which was tested according to the ASTM D93-10 standard. The composition of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, and CaO in fly ash was 56.44; 31.31; 0.51; 0.78%. The compositions of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and CaO in the bottom ash were 66.66; 17.09; 0.31; 5.40%. Based on its composition, fly ash and bottom ash are classified as type F ash. In addition, fly ash and bottom ash have SiO2/Al2O3 ratios of 3.90 and 1.80, respectively. It can be concluded that fly ash and bottom ash has the potential to be used as basic materials for the manufacture of aluminosilicate-based materials such as geopolymers, zeolites, and others.
