Abstract

The aim of this research was to find specific activity of bromelain enzyme extracted from crude extract of pineapple fruit (Queen variety) by salting out method using three different salts, which were (NH4)2SO4, NaCl, and Kusamba traditional salt. Crude extract of bromelain enzyme was obtained by precipitation method using salt with different levels of saturation. This study included determination of total protein concentration by using Biuret method and protease activity by using Anson method to get the specific activities of the crude extract. The results showed that the highest specific activities of bromelain enzymes precipitated with the three salts (NH4)2SO4, NaCl and Kusamba traditional salt with the ratio of 1: 0.94: 0.56 were 0.2887 U/mg (at 20% saturation) ; 0.2705 U/mg (at 40% saturation) and 0.1623 U/mg (at 80% saturation). Fractination of enzyme with the NaCl and Kusamba traditional salt gave smaller specific activity value than (NH4)2SO4. This results may caused of NaCl had smaller ionic strength, the presence of other ions in Kusamba traditional salt and the different solubility of bromelain enzyme in different salts. However, due to the ratio of NaCl approached (NH4)2SO4 and the availability of Kusamba traditional salt they could be used as alternative salts to replace (NH4)2SO4 in fractination bromelain enzyme from crude extract of pineapple fruit

Abstract

Honey sweet substance naturally produced by bees. Good honey must meet the requiremends setby the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The aim of this research was to determine thequality of some branded honey samples sold in some markets around Denpasar and natural honey (local) collected from beekeepersby examining their electrical conductivities, ash contents, and ratio of potassium to sodium. The electrical conductivities were determinedby applying the standard procedures established by IHC (International Honey Commission), ash contents were quartified by following the procedures of standard SNI01-3545-2004, while the determination of potassium and sodium contents were carried out by the use of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The results showed that the electrical conductivities and ash contentsin all honey samples studiedmet the maximum limits of standard values which were of 0.8 mS.cm-1 and 0.50 %, respectively. The results also demonstrated that the value of electrical conductivities were proportional to the ash contents. The ratio of sodium to potassium of a good quality honeyis approximately 4 : 1. In this research, it was found that the ratio of Na : K for samples A (natural honey), B, C, and D, were of (3 : 1), (2: 1), (4 : 1), and (4 : 1), respectively, while for sample E was of 8 : 1. It was concluded that A, B, C, and D samples meet the criteria of good quality honey, while sample E (not branded honey) didnot meet the criteria.
