Bursamin Bursamin — 2024-12-28

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the drying factor (DF) of crumb rubber products based on dry rubber content (DRC), time, and dryer temperature. Methodology: The study employed a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors: temperature (80°C, 90°C, 100°C, 110°C, 120°C) and time (2, 4, 6 hours), each with 3 replications, and a control (100°C for 2 hours). Results: The results showed a significant interaction between time and dryer temperature. Temperatures of 90°C (4-6 hours), 110°C (2-4 hours), and 120°C (2-6 hours) can replace the standard 100°C for 4 hours without significant differences in DF. Finding: A temperature range of 110°C to 120°C for 4 hours prevents deviations in DRC standards.

Surya Christien Manurung — 2024-12-29

Purpose: This research aims to prove the effectiveness of colorimetric labels based on teak leaf and ketapang leaf extracts as freshness detectors for ground beef. Methodology: The study was conducted through 3 stages, namely characterisation of natural extracts, manufacture of colorimetric labels and determination of the effectiveness of colour change of colorimetric labels. Characterisation of extracts through pH, TPT and RGB value test using image J software. The effectiveness of label colour change through colour test (L*, a*, and b*). The colour change was adjusted to the quality change of pH, total acid, and beef colour. Results: The pH, and colour values of teak leaves of 3.42; 81.17 were greater than ketapang leaves of 2.64 and 42.06. The TPT (̊ Brix) value of teak leaf extract (3.00) was lower than ketapang leaf extract (4.95). The results of colour parameter analysis L*, a*, and b* of teak and ketapang leaf colorimetric labels had no significant effect between 0, 3, and 6 hours. Ground beef experienced significantly different pH and total acid quality changes during storage with final values of 5.29 and 0.82%. Novelty: Research on the concept of colorimetric labels as freshness indicators based on pigments from teak leaves and ketapang leaves has not been widely studied, and this study shows the effectiveness of label colour changes with Whatman No. 1 paper carriers. Conclusion: The results showed that colorimetric labels based on old teak leaves and ketapang leaves were not effective in detecting the state of ground beef. Optimisation of the extraction method or the use of a different type of carrier is required. Paper Type: Research article

Comparative Study Of Solar Drying And Freeze Drying Methods In Amino Acid Content Of Crude Ficin Enzyme From Ficus Aurata (Miq.)

Ismed Ismed — 2024-12-30

Purpose: This work aimed to analyze the profiles of amino acids in the ficin enzyme isolated from Ficus aurata (Miq.), and to determine the efficiency of these amino acid concentrations under two types of drying – solar drying and freeze drying. Methodology: The enzyme ficin was obtained from fig tree, and the presence of amino acids was determined by UPL chromatography. The applied methods of drying were solar and freeze. However, the primary objectives were aimed at investigating the influence of these treatments on the level of amino acids present in all the samples. Results: The findings indicated that freeze drying techniques retained more amino acids in figs than was observed in the case of solar drying. In particular, the amount of L-glutamic acid in freeze drying was 2.39 mg/g, while that of solar drying was 1.43 mg/g. Similar results were observed in L-lysine and L-aspartic acid, which were relatively higher in freeze drying than solar drying, with concentrations of 2.43 mg/g and 2.55 mg/g, respectively, as opposed to 0.99 mg/g and 1.76 mg/g in solar drying. Besides, freeze drying showed better L-serine, L-phenylalanine, and L-histidine preservation. Findings: It was observed that freeze drying gave the best opportunity to reduce the loss of amino acid of the ficin enzyme. The drying method, in particular, resulted in a concentration of some important amino acids like L-glutamic acid, L-lysine, L-aspartic acid, L-serine and L-phenylalanine, and L-histidine as compared to solar drying. Novelty: This study focused on different types of solar energy and freeze energy economic systems in enzymatic activities in the ficin enzyme extracted from Ficus aurata (Miq.). The novel contribution of this research lies in its objective, which is to show how the drying methods used affected the retention of the most influential and critical amino acids in the enzymatic processes. Originality: The novel aspect of the study was the attachment of ultra vortices to different drying techniques, such as solar drying and freeze drying in select ficin enzymes from Ficus aurata. It opens up a new perspective toward the development of drying parameters for the enhancement of important enzymatic characters from this particular variety. Conclusion: This research considers the changes in amino acid content during the drying of ficin enzyme from Ficus aurata through different drying methods. It is shown that freeze drying enhances the retention of critical amino acids and is thus one of the most efficient methods for the enzymatic processing of this plant species. Type of Paper: Empirical research paper.
