Abstract

Solketal is a chemical that can be made by combining glycerol with acetone. This compound can be used as a fuel oil additive to improve the cold flow properties of liquid transportation fuels, reduce specific emissions, aid in the reduction of gum formation (oil sap), increase oxidation stability, and increase the octane number by up to 2.5 points to accelerate the initiation process in motor fuel combustion. The addition of solketal, a bio-additive material in biodiesel, is expected to reduce emissions from diesel engines. Solketal can reduce glycerol waste created from biodiesel synthesis in addition to reducing resultant emissions because glycerol waste can be used as the primary raw material in the process manufacture of the solketal. The purpose of this research is to find out The catalytic process of glycerol and acetone using Amberlite IR 120 Na catalyst was traced using gas chromatography analysis. Solketal formation analysis using gas chromatography was used in this study. According to the results of gas chromatography analysis, the solketal produced without going through the distillation process has a purity of 23.54%, while the solketal produced after going through the distillation process has a purity of 38.94% when compared to the synthetic solketal produced by Sigma Aldrich, which has a purity of 95.67%. To manufacture solketal with a higher level of purity, the batch method was improved by adding a distillation process step to remove the water content and acetone that was still present in the sample.

Abstract

This study aims to identify student learning difficulties in physical chemistry lectures. The subjects are 61 students in the chemistry education study program from two different classes. The research method used is mixed. Data were obtained by using instruments in the form of structured and unstructured questionnaires. Based on the results of the data analysis, several student learning difficulties were identified. Based on unstructured questionnaires, students' learning difficulties in physical chemistry material based on internal factors are caused because students find it difficult to do calculation problems, formulate derivation, and use many formulas. Based on external factors, namely the learning method used. Students prefer learning that is carried out face-to-face in a class by doing a lot of practice questions connected with applying formulas to questions and in everyday life. 55.7% of students in the medium category in learning disorder, 72% of students in the high category in learning disability, 65.5% of students in the medium category in learning dysfunction, 57% of students in the medium category in slowly learner, and 54% of students in the medium category in lower achiever. According to many students, physical chemistry is difficult. In addition, some of the causes of physical chemistry being considered difficult are confusion in analyzing questions, and learning conducted online during the Covid-19 pandemic is considered less effective. Students expect the learning method used to provide many examples and practice questions.

Abstract

One of the problems with fast-growing wood is the low density, which causes poor mechanical properties, so a densification process is carried out to increase the wood's density, surface hardness, and strength. In this study, the delignification process using NaOH was carried out at variations of 12.24, and 48 hours and then continued with the thermomechanical densification process. This study decreased lignin content in delignification simalambuo wood from 30% to 4%. The value of the Modulus of Rupture, Modulus of elasticity, and surface hardness increases with increasing immersion time during the delignification process. The highest values of Modulus of Rupture, Modulus of elasticity, and surface hardness were obtained by simalambuo wood soaked for 48 hours, namely, 2828.23 kg/cm2, 97.47 kg/cm2, and 256.73 kg/cm2.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems are one of the problems that need attention. The oral cavity is colonized by various microflora and some bacteria, so it is necessary to develop additional oral cleaning methods besides brushing teeth. Mouthwash with natural ingredients, such as a combination of chitosan and Eucalyptus grandis, is the right choice. Chitosan is a type of water-soluble chitosan characterized using FT-IR. Meanwhile, Eucalyptus grandis was isolated using the Stahl method to obtain its essential oil. Mouthwash was evaluated through organoleptic testing, pH, viscosity, and antimicrobial testing. The most optimal formula is formula III, with an inhibition zone diameter of 11.9 ± 1.5 mm for Streptococcus mutans bacteria, 12.8 ± 0.9 mm for Staphylococcus aureus, and 12.2 ± 0.15 mm for Candida albicans.

Abstract

Virgin Candlenut Oil (VCdO) is carried out enzymatically without using high-temperature heating and does not use organic solvents so it produces an oil with good quality and low FFA levels. Bromelain enzyme is sourced from pineapple hump. This study aims to determine the optimal conditions of the characteristics of VCdO including yield and free fatty acid (FFA) levels. Analysis of the fatty acid composition of VCdO was characterized by Gas Chromatography (GC). The manufacture of VCdO was carried out using 3 parameters, namely variations in time, temperature, and the amount of catalyst (enzyme). Optimization of the yield and FFA levels was determined by the response surface method (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken experimental design with 3 factors and carried out as many as 15 experiments. The optimum yield of VCdO was 51.12% at 37 ℃, 34 hours, and enzyme volume 28 mL. The lowest level of FFA VCdO was obtained at 1.213% at 37 ℃, 12 hours, and enzyme volume 23 mL. The results of VCdO analysis with GC showed that the highest fatty acid content was linoleic acid at 43.73%. The FFA levels have obtained the quality standard of candlenut oil according to SNI 01 -4462 -1998.

Abstract

The edible film is an alternative to using synthetic polymer products because it is non-toxic, biodegradable, increases food safety, and extends food shelf life. The purpose of this study was to see how the effect of adding Moringa leaf extract on the antioxidant activity of CMC/Chitosan edible film. This study consisted of two stages, the first stage was extracting Moringa leaves using ethanol, and the second stage was making edible film CMC/chitosan with the addition of variations of Moringa leaf extract (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%). The results of the antioxidant activity test showed that the edible film with the best variation was EE with an IC50 value of 4.45 ppm which was categorized as very strong and physical properties such as absorption, solubility, and water vapor transmission were 72.19%, 92.04%, and 6.21 g/m2h.

Abstract

Antioxidants are substances that can reduce and prevent free radical damage or prevent oxidative damage. The combination of two or more plant species can result in a greater potential for antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the IC50 value of the combination of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl and Zingiber officinale Roscoe with a ratio of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1. Antioxidant activity was determined by the amount of DPPH absorption inhibition (% Inhibition) and the value (50% Inhibition Concentration). The IC50 value in antioxidant activity measurement of ethanol extract combination of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl and Zingiber officinale Roscoe in the ratio of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1, was 372.3078 ppm, 354,3077 ppm, and 344.0863 ppm respectively. The ethanol extract of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl and Zingiber officinale Roscoe at a ratio of 2:1 was the best combination with total phenolic content of 5.63 mgGAE/100 g and produced an IC50 value of 344.0863 ppm.
