Abstract

Cempedak peel contains 38.85% pectin compounds and has the potential to become biofilm raw material. The characteristics of pectin-based biofilm can be improved by the addition of a glycerol plasticizer. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in glycerol concentration (0%; 3%; 5%; 7% and 9%) on biofilm charactersitics and biofilm application on the shelf life of mango fruit. Pectin was extracted using 5% citric acid at 85°C or 90 minutes. Biofilms were applied on mango fruit for 8 days. Analysis of pectin compounds showed a yield 22.09%; ash content 7.40%; equivalent weight 588.235 mg; methoxyl content 6.20%; galacturonic acid content 36.12%. Analysis of physical properties and biofilm application on mango fruit showed a density value of 2.833 g/mL; water solubility 79.41%; mango weight loss of 33.47%; and a deacrease in vitamin C of 5%. SEM-EDX analysis showed the pectin particles were homogeneous fine grains and dominated by the element of oxygen (O) 88.84%. FTIR analysis of cempedak fruit peel pectin and biofilm showed functional groups of O-H; C-H (methyl); C=O; C-O; C-C.

Abstract

Edible coating is a thin layer that can be consumed which protects the surface of the fruit from environmental influences. This study evaluates the effectiveness of shrimp shell chitosan-based edible coating with tamarind leaf extract as an antimicrobial, along with glycerol and tween 80, in preserving mango quality during 15 days of storage. The variables evaluated were the concentration of tamarind leaf extract (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%) and mango storage duration (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days). While the amount of chitosan used was constant. The parameters measured included total microbial count, weight loss, fruit skin color, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and vitamin C content. The results showed that the combination of shrimp shell chitosan and tamarind leaf extract as an antimicrobial significantly reduced the degradation of mango quality, with the 0.5% concentration of tamarind leaf extract being the most effective in maintaining quality and extending shelf life of mango until 15 days.

Abstract

The bio-oil from bagasse has poor physical characteristics, so it requires a combination with other materials, such as durian peel. This study aims to produce high-quality bio-oil from the best composition ratio of bagasse and durian peel. The study used variations of sugarcane bagasse and durian peel compositions (0:1; 1:0; 1:1; 2:1; 3:1) at a pyrolysis temperature of 400 °C for 5, 6, and 7 hours using an 83.1 L upright cylindrical reactor. The bio-oil with the best characteristics was found at a 1:1 ratio, with yields of 32.28%, 38.82%, and 40.8%, pH values of 2.7; 2.8; 2.9, and viscosities of 0.952 cSt, 0.928 cSt, and 0.908 cSt. The results show that adding durian peel improves the bio-oil characteristics.

Abstract

The characteristics of tofu wastewater in Polonia-Medan contain a high organic load and an acidity degree of between 4-5 so it needs to be treated appropriately. The initial processing technique has been carried out anaerobically, but the NH3-N content is still high so it is necessary to carry out a nitrification process. Biofilters are widely used as a medium for the growth of microorganisms in waste processing.  Bio balls as a medium for the growth of microorganisms have been previously carried out in anaerobic processing of tofu wastewater. This bio ball biofilter is capable of providing optimal growth of microorganisms, so this research also uses bio balls as biofilter media.  Aerobic process in the biofilter nitrification reactor with variations in hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24, 12, 6 hours and substrate concentrations of 50% and 100% for the acclimatization process. Acclimatization shows that HRT influences the acclimatization process to variations in substrate concentration. The highest removal process results were at 24 hour HRT, 100% substrate concentration, which resulted in NH3-N removal of 86.95%, COD 77.97% and nitrate production of 103.25 mg/L.

Abstract

Empty Fruit Bunches of Oil Palm (EFB) represent one of the most problematic biomass wastes in Indonesia due to their massive volume, inefficient management, and underutilization of their chemical potential, leading to significant environmental, economic, and technical impacts. The degradation or processing of such large-scale waste generally requires a long period of time. This study focuses on converting the cellulose content in EFB into dialdehyde cellulose (DAC), which can be applied as a wet strength agent. The aim is to reduce EFB waste by isolating cellulose from EFB biomass and subsequently converting it into DAC, which can be utilized as a wet strength additive in paper or tissue products. The oxidation of EFB cellulose into DAC was optimized using sodium periodate (NaIO₄) as the oxidizing agent, with varying reaction times of 3, 6, and 9 hours. The synthesized DAC was qualitatively analyzed using the Fehling’s test and solubility observations, followed by functional group identification via FTIR and morphological characterization using SEM. Among the samples, DAC-6 exhibited the most optimal characteristics, with a degree of oxidation reaching 82.1% and a carbonyl content of 52.8%. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of carbonyl functional groups in all DAC samples, indicating successful oxidation of hydroxyl groups in cellulose. DAC-6 showed the most prominent carbonyl absorption peak at a wavenumber of 1748 cm⁻¹.

Abstract

Holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum, L.) is one of the aromatic herbs that grows in empty or abandoned areas. Previous studies used conventional methods, including maceration and hydrodistillation, to extract Ocimum tenuiflorum, L. Genetic variation, plant phenology, geographical conditions, and extraction techniques affect the yield and variability of essential oil phytochemical composition. Here in, we report essential oil extraction of Ocimum tenuiflorum green and purple using solvent-free microwave extraction. The yield calculation obtained from purple and green O. tenuiflorum essential oils was 2.25 and 2.17%, respectively. GCMS data shows that the phytochemical compounds in Ocimum tenuiflorum essential oils, purple and green leaves, are dominated by sesquiterpene and phenylpropene groups. In the essential oil of purple Ocimum tenuiflorum leaves, the major phytochemical compound components are methyl eugenol, β-Caryophyllene, and Germacrene-D.  Antibacterial activity showed that Ocimum tenuiflorum purple essential oils a more preeminent effect against Escherichia coli than green.

Abstract

Patchouli leaves (Pogostemon cablin) are known to contain flavonoid compounds with potential antioxidant properties. However, comparative data on flavonoid content and antioxidant activity across different extract fractions of patchouli leaves remain limited. To address this gap, the present study was conducted to analyze the total flavonoid content and evaluate the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract and three solvent fractions—n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and wáter using the DPPH method as an indicator of free radical scavenging activity. The extraction was carried out through maceration, followed by fractionation. The determination of flavonoid content employed a colorimetric method based on the aluminum chloride reaction, while antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH assay. The results revealed that the ethyl acetate fraction contained the highest flavonoid concentration (1.615 ± 0.0591%) and exhibited very strong antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 17.3909 ± 0.1327 μg/mL. These findings suggest that the ethyl acetate fraction holds significant potential as a natural antioxidant agent, with possible applications in the pharmaceutical field or nutraceutical-based health products.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of banana stem powder (SPP) addition on the thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) composites with the addition of stearic acid. The composites were made with variations of PP:SPP of 100:0%, 98:2%, 96:4%, and 94:6% by weight. Differential Scanning Calorimetry testing showed the highest melting temperature of 165.4°C at 4% SPP, while the highest crystallinity of 42.64% was obtained at 2% SPP. The highest flow rate was obtained at 2% SPP of 8.83 g/10 min, and there was a decrease in the flow rate at 4% and 6% SPP. The tensile strength test results showed a decrease, from 30.10 MPa in pure PP to 23.40 MPa at 2% SPP. The results indicate that SPP can improve the thermal and rheological properties of the composite within certain limits, but excessive addition decreases the mechanical strength.

Abstract

The urea–silica nanohybrid is an innovative slow-release fertilizer designed to enhance nitrogen use efficiency in agriculture. This study synthesized the nanohybrid using silica sourced from bagasse ash via the sol-gel method. Silica was extracted by reacting the ash with sodium hydroxide to form sodium silicate, which was then converted into silicic acid through ion exchange using a cation resin. Ammonium hydroxide was added to adjust the pH to 5, forming a gel at room temperature. The gel was aged for 18 hours to strengthen its structure, then freeze-dried to produce hydrophilic silica aerogel. To form the nanohybrid, 1 g of silica aerogel was mixed with urea at varying concentrations, stirred for 24 hours, filtered, and dried at 40 °C. Characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the presence of Si–O–Si and Si–OH groups, along with urea-specific bands (C=O and N–H), indicating successful integration of urea into the silica matrix.
