Abstract

Bioethanol is a form of renewable energy that is used to reduce dependence on the use of fossil fuels which cause various negative impacts on the environment. Ulva sp. contains high carbohydrates so it has the potential as a raw material for bioethanol production. This study aims to determine the optimum conditions of the fermentation process with the variables used time, pH, and yeast concentration. This study used the results of hydrolysis of Ulva sp. with optimum operating conditions of 0.1 N HCl concentration, 80 mesh particle size, and 450 watt microwave power. Measurement of bioethanol levels was carried out using an alcoholmeter. The results showed that the optimal conditions for fermentation were 7 days of fermentation, pH 5.5, and yeast concentration of 1.5% which resulted in a bioethanol content of 7.55%.

Abstract

Argopuro Mountains, Tanah Wulan Village, Maesan District, Bondowoso Regency, East Java, Indonesia is one of the Robusta coffee-producing areas. Robusta coffee beans that are processed can produce quite a lot of by-products in the form of underutilized waste. It is known that coffee skin waste still has a lot of remaining content and it is possible to take these bioactive compounds using extraction methods. Bioactive compounds in natural materials can be done by extraction. Extraction is the process of separating substances in a sample based on different solubilities. The extraction method used is the ultrasonication method (nonconventional). Extraction of the ultrasonication method only requires a relatively shorter time with the help of an ultrasonicator. There is a lot of content in the coffee skin waste powder that needs further testing. The results of this study are expected to provide economic value to robusta coffee husk waste.

Abstract

The Pegagan plant has a scientific name in the form of Centella asiatica L. which is included in the Centella genus, Apiaceae family, and kingdom Plantae. Pegagan (Centella asiatica L.) has distinctive bioactive components, namely triterpene ester glycoside compounds in the form of asiaticoside and madecassoside, and triterpene group compounds in the form of Asiatic acid and madecassic acid. In this study, the extraction of bioactive components from pegagan was carried out using the Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) method and will study the effect of ethanol solvent concentration in the extraction of bioactive compounds. Analysis of the extracted bioactive content was carried out by analyzing the total phenol content using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and ANOVA analysis. The results obtained from the study were in the form of total phenol content as an indication of the presence of bioactive compounds, namely at operating conditions of 450 watts of power, 50% ethanol concentration with a radiation time of 15 minutes which resulted in a total phenol content of 21.9244 mg AGE/g sample. In the ANOVA analysis with ethanol solvent, variables that gave a significant response to the total phenol content were microwave power, radiation time, and ethanol concentration with an R-square value of 95.31%. The effect of ethanol concentration on the total phenol content produced, namely the concentration of pure ethanol solvent will produce extracts with the smallest total phenol content, the effect of extraction time on total phenol content, namely the longer extraction time will increase the total phenol content. Maximum total phenol content using ethanol solvent that is, at operating conditions of 450 watts of power, 10% ethanol concentration with a radiation time of 15 minutes which resulted in a total phenol content of 520 mg AGE/g sample.

Abstract

Chayote (Sechium edule) is a plant from the Cucurbitaceae family that contains several vitamins such as vitamins A, B, and C, and is often used for medicinal purposes. Based on phytochemical analysis, chayote extract contains bioactive compounds in the form of phenolics. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites and are used as cosmetic and medicinal ingredients due to their ability to reduce oxidative stress. This research aims to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of chayote (Sechium edule) extract using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Chayote extract was obtained using the Ultrasonic Assisted-Extraction (UAE) method with 96% ethanol solvent. The extraction variables used were time (15, 20, and 25 minutes), amplitude (45, 65, and 85%), and solvent ratio (1:5, 1:10, and 1:15). The determination of total phenolic content was based on the Folin-Ciocalteau method, while antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH. The determination of chayote extraction parameters for total phenolic content was carried out using the Response Surface Methodology with a Box-Behnken type. The optimal conditions obtained for chayote extraction were 1.327 mg GAE/g sample for total phenolic content and 29.45% for antioxidant activity under the conditions of 20 minutes extraction time, 65% amplitude, and 1:10 solvent ratio.

Abstract

Coffea sp. is one of the largest plantation commodities in Indonesia, especially coffee leaves containing phenolic compounds. This research was conducted to extract phenolic compounds using the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction method with ethanol solvent which aims to determine the optimum operating conditions of extraction as well as the influence of variations in amplitude, time, and ratio of solvents produced. The experimental design was carried out using Design Expert 13 software with the response surface method box-Behnken design. The research variables used were amplitude variations (50%, 60%, and 70%), time (10, 20, and 30 minutes), and solvent ratios (0.1; 0.15; and 0.2 g/mL).Based on our study, these parameters affect the total phenolic content. The model equation for the total phenolic content of coffee leaves obtained is Y = 0.1349 – 0.0016 A – 0.0505 B + 0.0010 C + 0.0018 AB + 0.0043 AC – 0.0018 BC – 0.0004 A2 + 0.0178 B2 – 0.0014 C2 (R2 = 0.9758) with the optimum total phenolic content located in the 17th running of 0.209 mg GAE/g under conditions of 20 minutes, the ratio of material to solvent is 0.2 g/mL, and an amplitude of 50%.

Abstract

The practical technique for membrane modification is dip coating. This study coats a PVDF hollow fiber membrane-based composite with a coating of zeolite. The composite is made of a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. During water filtering, the separation capabilities and propensities of composite membranes for organic impurities were examined. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of the findings demonstrated that the Zeolite coating was successfully deposited on the PVDF membrane. The flux recovery ratio increases from 69% to 80% while the relative flux drop decreases from 63% to 50%. A composite PVDF membrane dip-coating of Zeolite with a GA and H2SO4 ratio of 1:2 is needed to remove about 75% of humic compounds from effluent. The results of this study show that the addition of Zeolite with a GA and H2SO4 layer can greatly improve the hydrophilicity, selectivity, and anti-organic fouling of the PVDF hollow fiber membrane.

Abstract

Spent coffee grounds were used as the main ingredient for the composing of magnetic activated carbon/chitosan (MACC) composites and synthesized using the coprecipitation method. The SEM-EDX characterization was used to understand elemental identification and morphology of the adsorbent before the MACC was applied for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Magnetic activated carbon/chitosan was fabricated with the subsequent circumstances: the molar ratio of ferrous/ferric ions was 0.02 mol : 0.01 mol, coprecipitation temperature at 60°C for 5 h. Adsorption parameters for MB were investigated. The adsorption by MACC was evaluated thermodynamically for the discharge of MB from an aqueous solution as adsorption reckon on temperature. Calculations of thermodynamic parameters were conducted. Batch adsorption experiments were operated at 308 K; 318 K and MB concentration of 5-50 mg L-1 to investigate the adsorption behavior. According to the results, MACC has a porous structure. The adsorption process is more reactive upon raising the temperature, a process commonly known as endothermic. Based on R2values, the adsorption of MB onto MACC was found best fitted to Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of the MACC was counted as 24.5 mg/g. The adsorption process is spontaneous, which was concluded from the calculation of thermodynamic parameters.
