Abstract

Taros  (Colocusiu  and  Xanthosoma  spp.) are tropical root crops commonly referred to as cocoyams, which have been used as subsistence staple foods in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics in Africa and Australasia. Proximate analysis of the taro corms has shown that it contains digestible starch, protein of good quality, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. However, one major limiting factor in the utilization of taros is the presence of oxalates which impart acrid taste or cause irritation when foods prepared from them are eaten. Ingestion of foods containing oxalates has also been reported to cause caustic effects, irritation to the intestinal tract and absorptive poisoning as well as disrupting the bio-availability of calcium. While several methods have been made to reduce oxalate content in taro corms, none has been reported to meet the satisfactory level of the consumers. Considering that calcium oxalate content in the skin is higher than in the tuber flesh and that physical (thermal and irradiation) degradation of calcium oxalate is more pronounced than chemical and biological degradations, a method to reduce the calcium oxalate content in the taro corms is proposed. The proposed method involves peeling, washing, steeping, boiling and drying, which is expected to remove about 93.14% of the original calcium oxalate content.

Abstract

Anthocyanins are widely used as a food additive, and further study in production process development is required in order to obtain an efficient and superior process. This article presents the anthocyanin extraction by ultrasound-assisted extraction and the characterization of solid form anthocyanin extract. In addition, a simple kinetic analysis for the extraction process is investigated. Extraction was conducted by ultrasound-assisted extraction with a solute-solvent ratio of 1:4 and 1:8 at a temperature of 30OC, 40OC and 60OC. Anthocyanin content was analyzed by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Drying process was performed by a freeze dryer with the addition of maltodextrin and followed by characterization of powder comprising moisture content, solubility and colour intensity. The result shows that the extraction temperature has an effect on anthocyanins extracted. Temperatures rise increased the diffusion coefficient and triggered the driving force of solids into the solvent. This result had a correlation with the second-order kinetic model where the rate of extraction increases along with temperature rise. Characterization of anthocyanin extracts in solid form showed that the addition of maltodextrin provided better results than the product without maltodextrin. The anthocyanin powder added with maltodextrin fulfils the Indonesian standards for food colouring powders, having a low moisture content (5.6%) and high solubility (91.4%). Moreover, colour intensity analysis of anthocyanin powder showed that the powder with maltodextrin has a tendency of a lighter colour with low value of L *, a * and b *.

Abstract

Salah satu sumber bahan pangan lokal yang belum banyak dimanfaatkan adalah buah sukun (Artocarpus Artilis) yang cukup banyak terdapat di Indonesia. Akan tetapi, pemanfaatan buah sukun terkendala pada kurangnya daya simpan buah segar. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan pemanfaatan buah sukun dengan mengolahnya menjadi produk yang lebih luwes dengan daya simpan yang lebih baik, yaitu menjadi pati sukun. Sifat-sifat pati sukun perlu diperbaiki agar dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti tepung terigu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memodifikasi pati sukun dengan cara oksidasi menggunakan larutan hidrogen peroksida. Dalam penelitian ini dikaji pengaruh konsistensi luluhan, konsentrasi hidrogen peroksida, waktu, dan suhu terhadap karakteristik fisikokimia pati sukun teroksidasi yang dihasilkan dan ditentukan kondisi optimalnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semua variable yang dikaji tersebut mempengaruhi reaksi oksidasi pati sukun. Oksidasi pada konsistensi luluhan 20%, konsentrasi hidrogen peroksida 2% dan suhu 50°C mampu menghasilkan nilai swelling power dan water solubility yang terbaik. Reaksi oksidasi tidak mengubah struktur dan morfologi pati sukun termodifikasi secara signifikan.   [Title: Modification of Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) starch through non-catalytic hydrogen peroxide oxidation] One of local source of food that has not been intensively explored is breadfruit (Artocarpus Artilis). However, the utilization of breadfruit is limited by the poor storage properties of the fresh fruit. Therefore, efforts should be made to improve the utilization of breadfruit to process it into more flexible products with better storability, suach as breadfruit starch. Breadfruit starch properties need to be improved so that it can be used to substitute wheat flour. The aim of this study was to modify the breadfruit starch by oxidation using hydrogen peroxide solution. This work studied examined the influence of consistency of starch slurry, hydrogen peroxide concentration, time, and temperature on the physicochemical properties of the oxidized breadfruit starch. The optimal conditions were also determined. The results showed that all of these variables affected the oxidation of starch breadfruit. The oxidation on starch slurry with consistency 20%, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide of 2%, and temperature of 50°C produced modified starch with best swelling power and water solubility. The oxidation did not significantly change the structure and morphology of the modified starch.

Abstract

Analisis rheologi perlu dilakukan terhadap slurry propelan untuk mengetahui viskositas dan castability-nya. Hal ini berpengaruh pada tingkat homogenitas dan nilai Isp sebagai karakteristik utama propelan padat komposit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik rheologi slurry propelan berbasis HTPB dan DOA menggunakan analisis viskositas.  Metode pengukuran viskositas dilakukan dengan parameter suhu, waktu curing dan shear rate. Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa viskositas menurun dengan kenaikan suhu dan juga sebaliknya, viskositas meningkat dengan bertambahnya waktu curing. Melalui persamaan Power Law, diperoleh Koefisien konsistensi (K) antara 2,1148-2,2877 yang nilainya meningkat seiring dengan turunnya temperatur. Bertambahnya nilai K mengartikan energi yang dibutuhkan oleh unit operasi untuk mencetak propelan ke dalam tabung cetakan juga semakin meningkat. Sedangkan nilai indeks sifat alir (n) antara 0,1535 - 0,5128 menunjukkan bahwa slurry propelan merupakan fluida Non-Newtonian dengan perilaku shear-thinning (pseudoplastik) karena n<1

Abstract

[Title: Mechanical Properties and Morfology of Biodegradable Plastic from Steamed Rice Waste and Cassava Flour with Glycerol as Plasticizer] The annual consumption of plastic packaging has increased significantly as a response to the increase of people’s need and buying power. As a packaging material, plastic is light, flexible, practical and inexpensive. Unfortunately, if the plastic is not biodegradable and dumped irresponsibly to the ecosystem may cause serious environmental problems. The objective of this research was to study the effect of glycerol on the characteristic of biodegradable plastic from steamed rice waste and cassava flours composites. The biodegradable plastic was manufactured by casting the warm solution of flours composite with addition of glycerol as plasticizer. The results showed that biodegradable plastic obtained from steamed rice waste and cassava flours composites has limited mechanical stress, but remains flexible in nature. Good quality biodegradable plastic was obtained when 15% weight of glycerol in addition to 30:70 ratio of steamed rice waste flour to cassava flour with tensile strength 20.65 MPa, elongation at break 4.7% and Young Modulus 1138 MPa. The biodegradable plastic exhibits discontinue microstructure, rough and porous. Fourier transform infrared analysis proved the existence of OH, CH2, amide III and amida I groups in the biodegradable plastic.

Abstract

Within 20 years, Indonesia should find another energy alternative to substitutecurrent fossil oil. Current use of renewable energy is only 5% and need to be improved up to 17%of our energy mix program. Even though, most of the area in Indonesia is covered by sea, howeverthe utilization of microalgae as biofuel production is still limited. The biodiesel from currentsources (Jatropha, palm oil, and sorghum) is still not able to cover all the needs if the fossil oilcannot be explored anymore. In this paper, the potency of microalgae in Indonesia was analysed asthe new potential of energy (biodiesel) sources.

Abstract

Alginat merupakan polimer polisakarida linier yang sangat mudah larut dalam air dengan densitas dan viskositas yang dapat diatur sesuai keperluan. Sifat khas ini membuat alginat banyak digunakan dalam industri pangan maupun non pangan. Seperti pada kebanyakan bahan alam lainnya, densitas larutan alginat pada umumnya juga dipengaruhi oleh temperatur, konsentrasi dan waktu pengadukan. Karenanya, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kepresisian densitas larutan alginat dengan pengaturan temperatur (30, 45, 60 dan 75°C), konsentrasi alginat (1, 2, 3, 4 dan 5% massa) dan waktu pengadukan (15, 30, 45 dan 60 menit) menggunakan metode piknometri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi temperatur maka densitas akan semakin rendah, sebaliknya semakin tinggi konsentrasi dan waktu pengadukan maka densitas larutan alginat akan semakin meningkat. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan apabila menginginkan densitas larutan alginat 0,9228 g/ml maka konsentrasi alginat yang digunakan 2% dengan suhu 30°C dan waktu pengadukan 30 menit.

Abstract

The use of petroleum-based plastics has raised environmental issues as more plastic waste enters and accumulates in the environment. It has led to the development of biodegradable plastics. Starch is one of the potential materials to make biodegradable plastic, but starch-based plastic has poor mechanical strength. Blending starch with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and lignin is expected to improve the mechanical properties of the plastic. Biodegradable plastic films from PVA/starch/lignin blends with glycerol as a plasticizer were prepared using an internal mixer for compounding and a hot press molding machine for film making. The percentage of lignin (2-10%), glycerol (25-65%), and mixing temperature (190-230 oC) were varied according to the three levels of the Box-Behnken design. The ANOVA evaluation revealed that glycerol had the most significant effect on the mechanical properties of the film. Then, three models for the estimation of tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear resistance were developed. As expected, the models satisfactorily predict the effect of all input variables on the response variables. The optimum conditions for preparing the film were acquired from the equations, namely 197.6 oC for the temperature, 10% for lignin, and 45.1% for glycerol. The biodegradable plastic prepared using the optimum conditions possessed a tensile strength of 8.46 ± 1.08 MPa, an elongation at break of 139.00 ± 8.59%, and a tear resistance of 69.50 ± 2.50 N/mm. These values are in good agreement with the predicted values. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-02-03 Full Text: PDF
