Pembuatan Bioetanol Berbahan Baku Kertas Bekas menggunakan Metode Hidrolisis Asam dan Fermentasi
The enormous global daily consumption of liquid fuels is of the order of 80 million barrels/day (equivalent of 12.7 million m3/day). The sugar cane area required to produce the same volume of ethanol about 700 million hectares, assuming a yield of 6.5 m3/ha/year of ethanol. This study focus to use the second generation feedstock for bioethanol production. Waste papers have cellulose biomass in high percentage so that can be used as potential alternative biomass feedstock to convert bioethanol. Alkaline delignification was conducted by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and then hydrolyzed using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) diluted with various concentrations (2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, and 5% (v/v) and then fermentation was carried out by Saccharomyces cereviciae with the variation fermentation time (4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, and 8 days). Ethanol will be produced after separated using evaporation process. The results for the paper inked with the highest ethanol content of 6,12 % (v/v) was obtained at a concentration of 4% sulfuric acid (v / v) and 7 days fermentation time. While the paper without ink obtained the highest ethanol content of 8,13 % (v / v) sulfuric acid at a concentration of 4% (v/v) and 7 days fermentation tim
Toksisitas Oligomer Kitosan Derajat Deasetilasi Rendah Enzimatis Menggunakan Metode Brine Srimp Lethality Test (BSLT)
Chitosan oligomers or chitooligomer is a mixture of oligomers of D-glucosamine which are formed through a process of depolymerization of chitosan with cuting its β-glycosidic bonding. Chitosan oligomer has received much attention in various fields because of the specific biological activity 10 times greater than chitosan. Chitosan oligomer having biological activity as antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-tumor and anti-cancer. Before it is applied to humans, the bioactive compounds to be used as pharmaceutical products must pass a preliminary test using test animals. BSLT method is often used to praskrining against bioactive compounds. This method uses shrimp larvae are widely used in searches that are toxic bioactive compounds from natural materials. This study aims to determine the toxicity of chitosan oligomers enzymatic (crude) as a preliminary test before being used as a pharmaceutical product either as anti-cancer or anti microbial with BSLT method. The results showed chitosan oligomer (crude) hydrolysis of leather tiger shrimp chitosan (DD 60%) with chitosanase enzyme for each time of incubation has strong toxicity properties with a value of 36.90 ppm LC50 (1 hour incubation); 47.43 ppm (incubation 2 hours) and 104.86 ppm (incubation 3 hours)
