Extract on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in Mouthwash http://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/74611 <p>Infeksi rongga mulut yang diakibatkan bakteri menjadi perhatian dalam kesehatan masyarakat. Pemanfaatan <em>mouthwash</em> ekstrak daun salam sebagai antibakteri mampu menekan pertumbuhan bakteri, sehingga kesehatan rongga mulut terjaga. Daun salam diekstrak menggunakan metode maserasi dengan beberapa jenis pelarut seperti etanol 96%, etil asetat, n-heksana dan kloroform dengan nilai rendemen sebesar 4,6%, 4%, <br>3,6%, dan 3,8%. Ekstrak akan melalui uji fitokimia, identifikasi menggunakan FTIR dan GC-MS serta uji antibakteri terhadap bakteri <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> dan <em>Escherichia coli</em> untuk mendapatkan ekstrak daun salam terbaik. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dengan GC-MS, pelarut etanol 96% mampu mengekstrak 21 senyawa metabolit sekunder, sedangkan pada pelarut lain hanya mampu mengekstrak 16 senyawa. Hasil uji antibakteri menunjukkan diameter zona hambat ekstrak pelarut etanol 96% dan etil asetat terhadap bakteri <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> sebesar 12 mm, sedangkan pada bakteri <em>Escherichia coli</em> tidak muncul diameter zona hambat. Ekstrak daun salam pelarut etanol 96% dipilih sebagai bahan aktif pada sediaan <em>mouthwash&nbsp;</em>karena terkandung senyawa aktif antibakteri dari golongan alkaloid dan terpenoid. Hasil uji antibakteri terhadap sediaan <em>mouthwash</em> ekstrak daun salam diperoleh diameter zona hambat terhadap bakteri <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> sebesar 2 mm, sedangkan pada <em>Escherichia coli</em> tidak membentuk zona hambat. Hal ini disebabkan oleh penggunaan konsentrasi ekstrak daun salam yang rendah saat formulasi sediaan <em>mouthwash</em>.</p> Elisabeth Carolina Pangestu Samuel Budi Wardhana Kusuma ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2023-11-13 2023-11-13 12 3 225 236 10.15294/ijcs.v12i3.74611 Preparation of NaOH/CaO Superbase Catalysts from Limestone for the Biodiesel Production http://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/72750 <p>Kebutuhan energi yang semakin meningkat menuntut penemuan energi baru dan terbarukan, salah satunya adalah biodiesel dari minyak tanaman atau lemak hewan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan biodiesel alternatif dari minyak jelantah melalui reaksi transesterifikasi menggunakan katalis CaO modifikasi. Proses preparasi katalis CaO dari batu kapur melibatkan kalsinasi pada suhu 700°C, 800°C, dan 900°C. Katalis CaO superbasa diperoleh dengan perendaman dalam larutan amonium karbonat dan dipanaskan kembali pada suhu 900°C. Penelitian ini mencakup uji coba dengan variasi waktu dan suhu reaksi untuk memahami peran katalis dalam proses pembuatan biodiesel. Hasil analisis XRD menunjukkan bahwa katalis yang dikalsinasi pada suhu 900°C selama 4 jam memberikan hasil paling optimal, dengan intensitas 1656,88 yang mengindikasikan dominasi senyawa CaO. Penggunaan katalis CaO superbasa menghasilkan biodiesel dengan konversi mencapai 99,9% dan kadar ester mencapai 98,82%-99,07%. Biodiesel yang dihasilkan memenuhi standar SNI untuk densitas dan titik nyala, namun viskositas masih berada di bawah standar. Analisis kinetika reaksi transesterifikasi menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi reaksi dipengaruhi oleh penggunaan katalis CaO modifikasi. Prosedur percobaan juga meliputi penentuan kandungan asam lemak bebas pada minyak jelantah, yang berhasil memenuhi standar industri dengan FFA maksimal 1%. Selain itu, yield biodiesel dipengaruhi oleh perbandingan mol minyak terhadap metanol dan konsentrasi katalis.</p> Sintia Muharani Mustain Zamhari Erwana Dewi ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2023-11-13 2023-11-13 12 3 237 244 10.15294/ijcs.v12i3.72750 Effect of Alkaline Catalyst Concentrations and Weight Ratios of Oil to Methanol on the Biodiesel Production From Waste Cooking Oil http://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/72542 <p>The effect of alkaline catalyst and raw material ratio for the transesterification reaction of used cooking oil that has been previously processed has been investigated.

This study aims to determine the quality of the color test results, fastness to soap washing, dry rubbing and perspiration (acid and base) of the dyes indantren on fabrics after recovery process using the sedimentation method. The process of recovering indantren dyes is carried out by the method of sedimentation of indantren dyes in the residual waste of the dyeing process. The sediment obtained was dried at 80ºC using an oven to obtain the recovered indantren dye powder and then applied to dye cotton fabrics. The fabric color evaluation stage is carried out to test the aging and fastness of recovered indantren dyes if the dyes are reused in the batik process. The color intensity test was carried out using a UV-PC spectrophotometer, the color fastness test to washing soap and perspiration (acid and base) with the gray scale, and the color fastness test to dry rubbing using the staining scale. The results showed that the three types of recovered indantren dyes used in this study had good quality for reuse in the coloring process. Remaining indantren dyes that can be reused are 32,8% of the mass of indantren used in the initial coloring process. The color fastness test to soap washing, dry rubbing and perspiration of the indantren dyes yielded good scores.</p> Maghfiroh Maghfiroh Daru Anggara Murty Hutami Puji Lestari ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2023-11-13 2023-11-13 12 3 288 296 10.15294/ijcs.v12i3.75552 Potential of the Mangosteen Peel Extract (Garnicia mangostana L.) as a Bioreductor in the Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles http://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/72446 <p>The development of nanoparticle-based technology is currently of particular concern to scientists. This is because nanoparticles have many benefits in the health, industrial and food fields. The use of gold and silver metal-based nanoparticles has begun to be widely studied, but copper metal is still rarely developed. The manufacture of copper nanoparticles is carried out by synthesis using bioreductors derived from plants. Aquades extract of mangosteen rind (Garnicia mangostana L.) can be used as a bioreductor because it contains secondary metabolites that can reduce Cu ions during the synthesis process. This study aims to identify the secondary metabolites contained in mangosteen peel extract (Garnicia mangostana L.) and evaluate their potential as bioreductors through analysis using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Phytochemical test results of mangosteen peel extract (Garnicia mangostana L.) showed positive results for flavonoids, saponins, phenolics, triterpenoids, and alkaloids. Alkaloid and phenolic compounds play a role in the reduction process of Cu ions so that they can be used as bioreductors. The results of the UV-Vis measurements showed a 1:1 ratio of extract and precursor; 1:2 ; 1:3 and 1:4 have a peak wavelength of 278 nm, where copper nanoparticles can form at a wavelength of 200-800 nm. At a ratio of 1:1 has the highest absorbance, namely 0.394. So that a 1:1 ratio has the potential to form CuNPs.</p> Gladys Javani Suyatno Sutoyo ##submission.copyrightStatement## 2023-11-13 2023-11-13 12 3 297 304 10.15294/ijcs.v12i3.72446 Synthesis of Red Mud-Based SiO2 with Various NaOH Concentrations and Extraction Times http://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/74613 <p>Red mud adalah limbah dari proses Bayer yang berpotensi menjadi polutan bagi <br>lingkungan karena ukuran yang kecil serta memiliki sifat alkanitas yang tinggi.
