PENGARUH VARIASI JENIS ASAM TERHADAP RENDEMEN GELATIN DARI TULANG IKAN CAKALANG (Katsuwonus pelamis)

The research about “The Effect of Variation of the Type of Acid on Gelatine Yield from Cakalang Fish Bone ( Katsuwonus pelamis )”. The aim of this research was to determine the higher gelatine rendament using various of type of acid. This research used Completely Randomized Design (CRD), each treatment was done in duplo. The acid variation in this research were Chloride, Sulphate, Phosphoric, Acetic, Oxalate and Citrate acid respectively. The result showed that the highest rendament was 14,658% at 5% of phosphoric acid. The analysis of the treatment has fulfilled the standard. Keywords : Gelatine, Cakalang fish bone, Isolate, Yield

BIOSORPSI Hg(II) DENGAN KULIT BUAH KAKAO (Theobroma cacao L.)

ABSTRACT This study aims are determine the amount of biosorbent from cocoa fruit skin and required best interaction time to be able to adsorb Hg(II) in solution. This study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 variations of biosorbent amount is 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 grams and contact time is 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 minutes. Each treatment was repeated twice. The results showed that the best amount of biosorbent in the adsorption of Hg(II) is 99.11% with biosorbent weight 2 grams. Best contact time for the adsorption of Hg(II) is 90 minutes with the amount of adsorbed as much as 99.82%. K eywords : Biosorption , Cocoa fruit skin , Mer cury

PENGARUH WAKTU PROSES DEASETILASI KITIN DARI CANGKANG BEKICOT (Achatina fulica) TERHADAP DERAJAT DEASETILASI

ABSTRACT Research on the effect of chitin deacetylation processing times from shells of snails on the degree of deacetylation has conducted with a variations of 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes and 150 minutes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of times improvement in the chitin deacetylation process of the degree of deacetylation. The degree of deacetylation is determined using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show the degree of deacetylation increases with the length of time the process of deacetylation that is 60 minutes to produce the degree of deacetylation of 55.6%, a degree of deacetylation of 90 minutes produces 62.4%, 120 minutes produces 70.3% degree of deacetylation, and time 150 minutes to produce the degree of deacetylation of 84.3%. So that, the length of time spent on the process of deacetylation of chitin from a snail shells, can increase the degree of deacetylation.
