Abstract

The investigation about the determination of the expired time of lycopene made from tomato (Lycopersicum pyriform) which was mixed with maltodextrin in capsule packaged has been done. The aim of the research is to determine the ratio of lycopene extract to maltodextrin for yielding lycopene with the highest purity degree and to determine the expired time. The applied ratio of lycopene to maltodextrin were 5:10, 7.5:10, 10:10, 10:7.5, 10:5 (w/w). Those samples were stored at room temperature for 10 weeks. Spektrofotometri UV-VIS was used to analyze the samples. The results showed that the highest purity degree was reached at the ratio of 10:10 (39.56%). The best expired time at the ratio of 5:10 was reached at 12.93 weeks.Keywords: Tomato, lycopene, lycopene mixed maltodextrin, purity degree, expired

Abstract

A research about antibacterial activity test of johar plant leaf extract (Cassia siamea Lamk.) using several levels of solvent polarity has been implemented. This study aims to determine whether the antibacterial compounds in the leaves is polar, non-polar or semi-polar, and to determine the highest inhibition level of johar leaf extract on both the gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus). The maceration method was used in this research with 3 levels of solvent polarity namely non-polar, semi-polar and polar. The bacterial activity test was done with diffusion method. The results showed that the johar leaf contains antibacterial compounds which are polar and semi-polar. The highest inhibition level was obtained at johar leaf ethanol extract for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteu and Shigella dysentriae of 14.9, 12.9, 12, and 7.2 mm, respectively.Keywords: Antibacterial, Inhibition Level, Johar Leaf Extract

Abstract

Tamoenju (Hibiscus surattensis L.) leaves are included in the malvaceae family which grows in the plateau and are known to have the antidiabetic activity that the standardization of the extract is needed to be conducted. The research aimed to discover the total level of secondary metabolites from ethanol extract. The extraction of Tamoenju leaves through maceration method with 96% ethanol was done to obtain the filtrate. The filtrate obtained was concentrated by using rotary evaporator at 40°C until the concentrated extract was obtained. The extract gained was then tested in a qualitative way with Alkaloid, Flavonoid, Saponin, and Tannin tests by using the suitable reagent for the test parameters. While in the quantitative test the method used was Gravimetric analysis on alkaloid and Saponin compounds, Permanganometry on Tannin compound, and UV-Visible Spectrophotometry on Flavonoid. The qualitative test results reveal that Tamoenju is positive for containing Alkaloid which was characterized by the presence of orange sediment, Flavonoid was characterized by the orange formation, Tannin was characterized by the dark blue and Saponin was characterized by the stable foam. The quantitative test results are Alkaloid by 305.181 g/g, Saponin by 371.112 g/g, Tannin by 55.417 g/g and Flavonoid by 14.999 mg/100 g.Keywords: Hibiscus surattensis L. , secondary metabolites, standardization

Abstract

Minyak goreng yang telah digunakan berulang kali akan mengalami kerusakan seperti peningkatan bilangan peroksida dan asam lemak bebas yang dapat menimbulkan bahaya bagi kesehatan. Penelitian ini memvariasikan aktivator pada proses pembuatan karbon aktif ampas tahu yaitu NaCl 10%, Na2CO3 5% dan H3PO4 1M untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap kadar asam lemak bebas dan bilangan peroksida dalam minyak jelantah. Minyak yang digunakan adalah minyak goreng kemasan yang digunakan untuk menggoreng ikan kering, ikan basah, tahu-tempe dan daging ayam. Tahapan pemurnian minyak yaitu proses despising, netralisasi dan bleaching. Pengujian mengacu pada SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) 7709:2012 sebagai syarat mutu minyak goreng. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kadar asam lemak bebas tertinggi dan terendah yang diperoleh yaitu 0,1925% dan 0,1473%, sedangkan bilangan peroksida tertinggi dan terendah yaitu 9,3203 meq O2/kg dan 4,3526 meq O2/kg. Aktivator yang paling berpengaruh pada penurunan kadar asam lemak bebas dan bilangan peroksida adalah Na2CO3 dimana diperoleh kadar rata – rata asam lemak bebas 0,1473% dengan persentase penurunan sebesar 57,68% dan kadar  rata – rata penurunan bilangan peroksida yaitu 4,3526 meq O2/kg dengan persentase penurunan sebesar 59,04%. Jadi, aktivator Na2CO3 merupakan aktivator yang paling baik digunakan untuk aktivasi karbon ampas tahu sebagai adsorben minyak jelantah.Kata Kunci:    Aktivator, Karbon Aktif, Ampas Tahu, Adsorben, Minyak Jelantah.
