Abstract

Indonesia is the 4th largest coffee-producing country in the world. One of the coffee producers in the Bondowoso area of ​​East Java is Tanah Wulan Village. This village is located in the Argopuro Mountains Cluster, which produces coffee, especially Robusta coffee. In processing coffee cherries into coffee beans, the husk of the coffee cherries becomes the most significant waste from this process, reaching 40%-45%. However, the use of coffee husk waste is still limited as fertilizer and animal feed. So that there is a need for research to explore the potential of abundant coffee husk waste, one of which is about the antioxidant potential of robusta coffee husk produced in Tanah Wulan village. This study aimed to determine the percentage yield of robusta coffee husk extraction with ethyl acetate solvent and analyze its antioxidant activity. The robusta coffee husk extraction with ethyl acetate produces a dark green solid with a yield of 1.09%. From the analysis of antioxidants using DPPH, the IC50 was obtained at 96.5 mg/L with a strong category of antioxidants. However, the antioxidant activity of coffee husk extract is still much lower than the comparison compound for vitamin C, with an IC50 value of 3.68 mg/L (powerful category). So that, further research needs to be done to increase the antioxidant activity of coffee husk waste.

Abstract

Tobacco is one of the abundant biomass resources, especially in Jember Regency. Tobacco stalk has potential as a raw material for bioethanol and has more economic value than just being used as firewood. One of the new renewable energy that comes from biomass is biofuel. The currently developed biofuels are biodiesel and bioethanol. Compared to fuel oil, bioethanol's advantages include having a high octane number (106-110), increasing combustion efficiency, and reducing pollutant emissions. Besides being used to fulfill energy needs, bioethanol can also be used as a raw material in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and various alcohol derivatives industries. The Covid-19 pandemic has also made the need for ethanol increase. The scarcity of hand sanitizer products has made the price soar. The raw material for the hand sanitizer is ethanol, so the need for ethanol also increases. Bioethanol production, in general, has a 4-step process. The processes are pretreatment, hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation. This study focused on the fermentation process with the aim of knowing the effect of microorganism nutrition on the concentration of bioethanol from tobacco stalks. Fermentation is done with the yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. The addition of nutrients in the fermentation process greatly affects the concentration of ethanol that will be produced. The addition of optimal nutrients in this study was shown in the addition of 1.3% of the total initial volume of the sample or 0.325gram with a concentration result of 23.9%.
