Liquid smoke is a natural food preservative which can be made of coconut shells through the pyrolysis process. This study aimed to design a pyrolysis reactor and utilize the coconut shell waste to produce liquid smoke as a natural preservative of tofu. 1.5 kg of chopped coconut shell was pyrolyzed at 400C for 5 hours and produced 488 mL of grade 3 liquid smoke with a yield of 34.23%. The liquid smoke was then purified by extraction using ethyl acetate (1: 1 ratio) solvent and 70C temperature for 2 hours. The extract was then distilled at 80C and produced grade 1 liquid smoke. This liquid smoke had an acid content of 12.26% and a phenol content of 0.73%. This liquid smoke was then applied to tofu for 3 days and analyzed the microbial contamination. The smallest amount of microbial contamination was found in the samples of yellow tofu and white tofu coated with liquid smoke and stored in the refrigerator for 1.4 × 105 CFU / mL and 8 × 103 CFU/ml.

Utilization of liquid smoke products from oil palm empty fruit bunches (fibers) is currently in West Kalimantan is not optimal, and only used as a substitute for rubber coagulant formic acid. Actually liquid smoke can be upgraded into a natural food preservative. This is due to liquid smoke has the ability to preserve foodstuffs because of the acidic compounds, phenolic and carbonyl, but the scale is very small. Research on processing of liquid smoke ever done is intended for rubber farmers as a coagulant and its scale is still very small. In this research, the processing of liquid smoke with redestilation way to get a product that further adds to the benefits of liquid smoke itself as a naturally preservative.Tahu a high protein foods perishable. To inhibit such damage is often added chemical preservatives that are harmful to human health. is one type of food product that does not hold up when stored without treatment / addition of preservatives. Usually know will only hold for 1-2 days. It required a preservative that can add shelf life to know that. Chemical preservatives are relatively expensive, so we need a natural preservative that does not significantly affect health. One of these is a natural preservative liquid smoke. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the composition of most of the content of liquid smoke such as acetic acid and phenol. The conclusion of this study is derived liquid smoke containing 6.38% acetic acid and phenol 1.125 mg / ml.

Abstract Objective Distilled liquid smoke (DLS) is a result of coconut processing by-product that not only serves as a natural food preservative but also has a promising therapeutic effect. The healing potential of DLS derived from coconut (Cocos nucifera L) shell was investigated on a traumatic ulcer with the diabetic rat. Materials and Methods DLS was analyzed the component by gas chromatograph mass spectrometry. Diabetic condition was induced by alloxan in 55 male Wistar rats. Ten mm of traumatic ulcer was made along the labial fornix incisive inferior after the diabetic condition was confirmed. Then DLS coconut shell, benzydamine hydrochloride, and sterile distilled water were applied topically for 3, 5, and 7 days. The potential healing was evaluated based on the expression of nuclear factor kappa beta (NFκB) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) on macrophages using immunohistochemical staining and the amount of collagen using Masson Trichome staining. The difference between each group was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. The least significant difference test is used to determine the significant difference (p < 0.05). Results The major compounds found were phenol (36.6%), 2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol) (25.2%), furfural (17.8%), and 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol (3.5%) with 28 other minor constituents. The lowest NFκB and TNF-α expression on macrophage was observed by topical application of DLS derived from coconut shell for 3, 5, and 7 days of treatment. The amount of collagen was increased and indicated by the highest result of DLS compared to others. Conclusion The DLS derived from coconut (Cocos nucifera L) shell was able to improve traumatic ulcer healing in a person with diabetes.

Background: Durian peel is a type of biomass waste that contains cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. The pyrolysis of these compounds results in production of liquid smoke which can be used as a natural preservative to replace current synthetic preservatives. This research assessed the ability of liquid smoke produced during pyrolysis of durian peel to preserve fish. Methods: Dry durian peel waste underwent batch reactor pyrolysis at 340°C and 380°C, resulting in production of liquid smoke (grade 3), charcoal, and tar. This liquid smoke was then distilled at 190°C to produce grade 1 liquid smoke, which was used to preserve mackerel. The preservation process was conducted by soaking the mackerel samples in liquid smoke at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3% concentration levels followed by observations every 6 hours. Tests to determine the total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) content, antibacterial quality of the liquid smoke and organoleptic quality of the fish were conducted in order to assess the preservation properties of the liquid smoke. Results: Tests on the antibacterial effects showed that the liquid smoke inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus on fish even at low concentrations. At 54 hours, the TVB-N values remained below 30 mg nitrogen/g, indicating that the fish was still safe for human consumption. Results from the organoleptic tests showed that the concentration of liquid smoke influenced the preservation effects. Conclusions: At a concentration of 2–3%, the fish samples possessed acceptable flavor, taste, color and texture for up to 48 hours of soaking. However, the best conditions were obtained with a 3% concentration of liquid smoke (produced with 340°C pyrolysis), as the fish was still considered acceptable for up to 42 hours.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>Bio-musical instruments can be defined as musical instruments made from plant wastes in the surrounding environment. One of the plant waste that is easily found in the community is coconut shell. Coconut shells are often overlooked for their use as a creative medium, especially in the field of music. Musical instruments are the main media for creativity in the art of music. The rise of musical instruments or musical instruments with high prices has become one of the inhibiting factors for young people to be creative in the field of music. Seeing this phenomenon, it is deemed necessary to develop people's creativity in making their own musical instruments at economical prices but still able to compete with manufactured musical instruments. In making this bio-instrument, the method used consists of problem identification, preparation, application, and evaluation. Through this method, the results obtained in the use of coconut shell waste into creative media are the Kalimba instrument played by plucking the iron keys as the source of the tone, while the coconut shell is used as the main medium for the sound resonance of the Kalimba instrument. Kalimba is classified into a type of lamellophone instrument, which is a musical instrument that has a tongue or a thin plate. In addition to the easy-to-use manufacturing process, the tools and materials in making these instruments are also easy to find and can even take advantage of used materials. The results of making bio-musical instruments are expected to become a reference and reference for academics and non-academics, regarding how to make musical bio-instruments using coconut shell waste. </span></p></div></div></div>

The use ofMoringa oleiferaas natural food preservative has been evaluated in the present study. In addition, for quality assurance, the study has also been focused on the shelf life of product to authenticate the identification of plant by development of DNA based marker. Among the different extracts prepared from flower pods ofMoringa oleifera, methanol and aqueous extract exhibited high antibacterial and antioxidant activity, respectively. The high phenolic contents (53.5±0.169 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid contents (10.9±0.094 mg QE/g) were also recorded in methanol and aqueous extract, respectively. Due to instability of bioactive compounds in aqueous extract, methanol extract is considered as potent natural preservative. The shelf life of methanol extract was observed for two months at 4°C under dark conditions. The developed SCAR primers (MOF217/317/MOR317) specifically amplified a fragment of 317 bp from DNA ofMoringa oleiferasamples collected from different regions of Punjab province of Pakistan. The methanol extract ofMoringa oleiferaflower pods has great potential to be used as natural preservative and nutraceutical in food industry.
