Abstract

Fatty hydroxamic acids (FHAs) have been successfully synthesized from coconut oil by a one-step lipase catalyzed reaction. FHAs are theacids that are based on fatty acids. Their hydrophobicity can be use for some applications such as surfactant and metal ions extraction fromaqueous media. This paper describes enzymatic synthesis of FHAs from coconut oil by reacting hydroxylamine with the substrate catalyzedby a lipase. The lipase used was Lipozyme, a commercially lipase of Mucor meihe fixed on a polymer anion exchange resin. The use ofimmobilized lipase as the catalyst for the preparation reaction provides an easy isolation of the enzyme from the products and othercomponents in the reaction mixture. In addition, it also allows the reaction to be carried out under mild conditions, which reduces thereaction’s side products. The optimum preparation conditions obtained were as follows; the reaction temperature was 30 oC, the reactiontime was 30 h, the ratio of coconut oil : lipozyme (g : g) was 29.5, and the ratio of hydroxylamine : coconut oil (mmol : mmol) was 6. Thesolvent used was hexane. The purified products were characterized by qualitative test, such as FTIR spectroscopy and HPLC.

Abstract

Isomerization and oxidation has been known as the major factors of the degradation of carotenoid compounds.The carotenoid compounds in oil palm fruit are dominated by - and -karoten. Result of this experiment showedthat the isomerization of the - and -karoten during the process productions of crude palm oil (CPO) indicated bythe reducing of trans ? and trans -caroten concentrations and followed by the increasing of cis - and cis ?-caroten concentrations. Isomerization promote to increasing the concentration of cis - and cis -carotenapproximately 40 ppm and 19 ppm on the sterilization process, then 79 ppm and 134 ppm on the extraction andclarification process of crude oil. On the other hand, the purification process just only increased the concentrationof cis ?-karoten about 19 ppm. The Oxidation of the - and -caroten caused to the increasing of lutein andzeaxantin as the degradation product. The - and -caroten oxidation can be increasing the amount of lutein andzeaxantin approximately 1 ppm and 5 ppm on the sterile fruit, 22 ppm and 14 ppm on the extract crude oil, 1 ppmand 3 ppm on purifying oil. The oxidation process of oil palm extract in the vacuum drier tank can be increased thelutein concentration about 6 ppm.

Abstract

The highest content in rice husk is ash with its main component of silica. Silica in ash causes the low adsorption capacity. Activated carbon from rice husk can be obtained by lowering the ash content. The aim of this study is determine the effect of particle size of charcoal and reflux time the ash content using a solution of potassium carbonate. The activation of rice husk char was carried out by using reflux methods with a potassium carbonate solution. The resulted carbon was washed using hydrochloric acid tested using iodine and methylene blue to examine of its adsorbance. The particle size of rice husk and reflux time decrease ash content in rice husk. In general, husk with the size of 80 mesh can produce carbon with low ash content and high absorption using reflux time at least for 120 minutes. Rice husk size of 100 mesh refluxing with potassium carbonate for 150 minutes can reduce the ash content as 91.85% and adsorptivity of the iodine at 331 mg.g -1 .

Abstract

The Centella asiatica is an important herbal plant in Indonesia. The research was done to describe severalagronomic traits that related to yield of the plants grown at regions with different altitudes. The research wascarried out at three different regions of highland, midland, and lowerland, each at >500m, 250-500m, and < 250mabove sea level. The research location was Pagar Alam, Musi Rawas, and Ogan Ilir, respectively. Research indicatedthat the agronomic traits of the plants grown at highland, midland, and lowerland, regions were about the same forgeneral appearance of leaf shape and flower color. The leaf size, number and length of stolone, number of rossets,length of rhizomes, and number of flower were varied depending on the region. The plants grown at highland andmidland region tend to have larger leaf size, shorter petiole and stolone, more number of rossets and stolone,longer rhizomes, and more number of flowers per plant, compared to the plants of lowerland region. This could beindication that Centella asiatica plants grown on midland, and highland were more productive than plants oflowerland region.

Abstract

The contamination of toxic heavy metal Cadmium (Cd) in soils will be endanger the human health because it ismore available comparing to another toxic heavy metals. One method of Cd-contaminated soil bioremediation isusing exopolysachharide-producing bacteria Azotobacter. Exopolysachharides (EPS) can mobilize Cd through theformation of complex Cd-EPS which sequentially can increase the availability of Cd for plants uptake. A laboratoryexperiment has been done to study the EPS production and the viability of six Azotobacter isolates in the liquidculture containing 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mM CdCl2. The bacteria were cultured in liquid medium with and without CdCl2 for72 hours at room temperature. The EPS production was determined by gravimetric method after precipitationusing acetone and centrifugation at 7000 rpm. The result was that all of Azotobacter isolates produce EPS in thepresence of CdCl2. In the culture with 1 mM CdCl2, the density of Azotobacter sp. isolate BS3, LK5, LKM6 increasedsignificantly, and that of isolate LH16 decreased. No significant effect of CdCl2 on the density of isolate BS2 andLH15. This research suggested that some Azotobacter isolates were relatively resistence to the Cd and could bedeveloped as biological agents in Cd-contaminated soil bioremediation.
