Abstract

The aims of this research are to study the production process and the chemical composition of three traditional Sumbawa oils from Benete Village (BT), Batu Dulang Village (BD), and Hutan Sumbawa (HS). A survey was conducted to learn the production process and the chemical composition of the Sumbawa oils was determined by fractionation method using three solvents with different polarity (methanol, dichloromethane (DCM) and n-hexane), followed by GC-MS analysis of each extract. In general, the three Sumbawa Oils were traditionally produced by mixing various species of medical plants into the coconut oil through heating process. Based on GC-MS analysis, the constituents of the Sumbawa oils are mainly fatty acid, fatty acid ester, monoterpene and sesquiterpene. Three major identical compounds were identified in all three products with different percentages of abundance namely Octadecanoic acid/stearic acid, Hexadecanoic acid/palmitic acid, and methyl palmitate. Furthermore, there were other major compounds such as Linoleic acid, Lycopersene, and Dodecanoic acid/lauric acid. The non-natural product compounds found in Sumbawa oil extracts and the biological activities of major compounds are discussed in this article.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of various reaction temperatures on the hydrocracking of Cerbera manghas oil to produce biofuel as a paraffin-rich mixture of hydrocarbons with Co-Ni/HZSM-5 catalyst. Co-Ni/HZSM-5 catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 physisorption according to the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method, and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The hydrocracking reaction was carried out in a pressure batch reactor, reaction temperatures of 300-375 oC for 2 hours, reactor pressure of 15 bar after flowing H2 for at least 1 hour, and a catalyst/oil ratio of 1 g/200 ml. The hydrocarbon composition was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). With the Co(0.88%)-Ni(3.92%)/HZSM-5 catalyst, the highest yield for gasoil was 46.45% at temperature of 350 oC. At this reaction temperature condition, the main abundant hydrocarbon compounds in gasoil-like hydrocarbon were n-paraffin, i.e. pentadecane of 20.06 area% and heptadecane of 14.13 area%. Biofuels produced showed that abundant hydrocarbon compounds were different at different reaction temperatures. Iso-paraffin with low freezing point and good flow property were not found in gasoil-like hydrocarbon. Isomerization depends on reaction condition and type of catalyst.

Abstract

Chemical composition of compost is an important indicator that determines the quality of compost. This study compared the chemical composition of vermicompost resulting from the process of vermicomposting alone with combined vermicomposting and composting with addition of egg shells flour and fish meal. Organic wastes used were the mixture of spent mushrooms waste, coconut husks, cow dung, vegetables residue, and leaf litter. Lumbricus rubellus was the species of earthworm used in the vermicomposting process. In the composting process, egg shells flour and fish meal are added into the vermicompost as additives materials. The results indicate that the combined vermicomposting and composting process with addition the additives materials improves the chemical composition of vermicompost compared to using vermicomposting process alone. The change of chemical composition was indicated by a decrease in C-organic content and C/N ratio by 29% and 99%, respectively, while the content of N, P, K and S increased by 52%, 67.5%, 29% and 25%, respectively due to the addition of additives material in the composting process. The largest increase of vermicompost nutrient content occurred in the Ca content by an average of up to 7-fold. While polyphenols, lignin and cellulose content of vermicompost decreased slightly. The treatment of two mixture (a) spent mushrooms waste, cow dung and vegetables residue, and (b) spent mushroom waste, cow dung, vegetables residue, and leaf litter gave the best chemical composition. However, to determine the quality, we need to test the product in a plant growth bioassay as a follow-up study.

Abstract

Xylanase is a hydrolase enzyme that can hydrolyze hemicellulose into xilo-oligosaccharide and xylose. This research is aimed to investigate the in vitro and in silico xylanase (isolated from the fungus Trichoderma viride) immobilized on the zeolite matrix activated with HCl 0.4 M solution. The study was performed using in silico docking molecular methods to investigate the interaction between the xylanase primarily to its ligand. Xylanase activity was determined by reducing sugar produced (xylose) by 1 mL of enzyme per minute. The optimum conditions of immobilized xylanase were measured according to the time agitation and concentration of xylanase. The time variation agitation used were 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours, while variations in the concentrations of a xylanase used were 11.500, 15.653, 20.444, 25.875, and 31.944 mg/mL. The optimum conditions of immobilized xylanase was obtained in the shaking time for 3 hours at a concentration of xylanase 15.653 mg/mL and immobilized xylanase activity generated at 46.755 μg.g-1.min-1. Immobilized xylanase activity was greater than the purified xylanase (15.976 μg.mL-1.min-1). These results were due to the cofactors Al (AlO4) and Si (SiO4) of zeolite was able to increase the kinetic energy caused the reaction rate between xylanase with the larger substrates. Cofactor also increased the kinetic energy and can enhance the rate of reaction between a xylanase with its substrate, in order to give greater activity. Immobilized xylanase was stable and its reusability as much as 6 times which afforded the activity 21.331 μg.g-1.min-1 and the efficiency of 56.77%.

Abstract

Bacteriorhodopsin is a retinal protein located in purple membrane of Halobacterium salinarum which acts as light-dependent proton pump. Bacterioruberin is a by-product in bacteriorhodopsin biosynthesis pathway in Halobacterium salinarum. In order to study the effects of bacterioruberin deletion on quantity of active cellular bacteriorhodopsin production, random mutation by UV radiation on Halobacterium salinarum R1 has been carried out. Afterwards, mutated strains which lacked bacterioruberin were selected and production of cellular active bacteriorhodopsin in both mutated and normal (with bacterioruberin) strains were evaluated. The results of this study indicated that the bacterioruberin deletion had insignificant effects on bacteriorhodopsin production. Hence, the biosynthesis pathway of bacteriorhodopsin basically has to be considered independently from the bacterioruberin synthesis.

Abstract

Abundant and inexpensive Indonesian natural bentonite was activated by thermal activation at 500 oC for removal of procion red dye as one of the most used synthetic dye in the traditional songket fabric production around Palembang city. Activated bentonite product was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, and thermal analysis. The adsorption process was conducted in batch adsorption system by applying various adsorption parameter condition including, initial pH condition, contact time, and initial dye concentration. The activated bentonite characterization indicates that during the activation process, the structure of the original bentonite was not changed significantly and the result of the thermal analysis revealed that thermal activation at 500 oC was draining the water content without destructing the silica-alumina framework of bentonite. The adsorption kinetics study shows that the procion red adsorption into the activated bentonite follows the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The isotherm adsorption study revealed that procion red adsorption into activated bentonite adapted the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
