Abstract

This research aims to utilize the coconut-palm shell waste to be processed as liquid smoke grade I, used for natural preservative of tofu. The process used to produce the liquid smoke is by using pyrolysis method. The pyrolysis temperatures used ware 300 oC, 340 oC, and 380oC, with liquid smoke concentration of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, and 6%. Purification of liquid smoke from grade III to grade I was made through two distillation phases at temperature of 200 oC. The produced liquid smoke grade I was then utilized to preserve the tofu in order to increase its storing period. The testing towards durability of the preserved tofu was done by Total Volatile Base (TVB) and Organoleptic. Based on the TVB values test, the tofu can last for 56 hours when it was soaked in liquid smoke, while the durability of the tofu without soaked in liquid smoke was only 16 hours. Results of the organoleptic test showed that 90% of respondents favor the taste, flavor, and texture of the liquid smoke-soaked tofu, which was pyrolysed at 340oC and at concentration of 0.5%. the TVB Value at these condition was 19.61mg N%.

Abstract

A study on wasted polypropylene/modified bagasse fiber flour/E-type glass fiber flour with maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene addition hybrid composite was performed and its impact properties and water absorption ability was analyzed. Glass fiber flour and maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene compositions were made constant at 10 wt.% and 2 wt.% respectively, and modified bagasse fiber flour composition was varied from 10-40 wt.%. Surface modification on bagasse flour with 1% sodium hydroxide was also conducted. The composites were prepared in an extruder. The result showed that the maximum impact strength of 46,6 J/cm2 was obtained in addition of modified bagasse fiber flour of 30 wt.%. Impact strength result was also supported by Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis. Water absorption test showed that the increase of modified bagasse fiber flour content resulted to the increase of water absorbance and composites with maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene addition had lower ability to absorb water when compared to composite without maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene addition in the same fillers content.

Abstract

This research was aimed to study the effect of feed and solvent ratio (f/s), antisolvent variety and solvent variety to the extraction of lycopene from tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum)by using single solvent and antisolvent crystalization method. The solvent that used was hexane and ethyl acetate and also methanol and ethanol as the antisolvent. Tomatoes was milled and then extracted. Antisolvent then added to the extract which was obtained. The results show that the more feed and solvent ratio (f/s) the more lycopene obtained. At the ratio of 1:4,5 with hexane as the solvent obtained the highest lycopene yield were 2,7 mg/150 ml and 2,2 mg/150 ml. Whereas at the ratio of 1:4,5 with ethyl acetate as the solvent obtained the highest lycopene yield were 3,2 mg/150 ml dan 2,8 mg/150 ml. By using methanol as an antisolvent, much lycopene would be obtained. By using ethyl acetate as a solvent, much lycopene would be obtained.

Abstract

Bioplastics are plastics which can be degraded by microorganisms and is made from renewable materials. Plastic film is made from potato starch (contain of starch that founded in potatoes is 22-28%), glycerol as a plasticizer and acetic acid as a catalyst. The purpose of this reasearch is to determine glycerol variation and starch weight effect on the characteristics of potato starch plastic films. Manufacture of plastic films use blending starch method with potato starch weight variations (10 g, 15 g and 20 g) and glycerol volume variations (0 ml, 1 ml, 2 ml and 3 ml). Bioplastic analysis are FTIR test, tensile strength that is supported by SEM analysis. The results obtained in the FTIR analysis does not form a new cluster on potato starch plastic film, neither on the plastic film with or without glycerol. FTIR results obtained in two plastic film are the change of OH, C = C, and CH groups strain. The strain value of OH group on potato starch is 3579.88 cm-1 turned into 2978.09 cm-1 for plastic film without glycerol while the plastic film with glycerol to be 3541.31 cm -1 and 2970.38 cm-1. C = C group is 1635.64 cm-1 turned to 1697.36 cm -1 and 1697.36 cm -1. As for CH group is 2873.79 cm -1 turned to 2877.79 cm -1 and 2870.08 cm -1. And tensile strength of plastic film decreased with increasing glycerol volume. Maximum tensile strength of plastic film occurs when potato starch weight is 10 g and glycerol volume is 0 ml is 9.397 MPa.
