The lifestyle of people who tend to be unhealthy causes a lot of free radicals in the body which can cause various diseases, especially degenerative diseases. To protect the body from attacks by free radicals, the body needs antioxidants such as β-carotene. One of the vegetables containing β-carotene is “wortel” Daucus carota, that  is very large in agriculture. The spread of beta carotene from carrots with chemical solvents has been done a lot, but without chemical solvents it has never been done. Based on the color, the content of β-carotene contained in carrots determines the content of beta carotene. The juice obtained by calcium salt was then centrifuged for 3000 rpm 15 minutes. The pellets are separated from the solution, evaporated to dryness, measured at a wavelength of 450-460. Pellets as beta-carotene calcium salts were analyzed by U-HPLC. The next pellet is measured at 460 wavelengths. The levels are determined by high performance liquid chromatography using C18 column and the mobile phase of chloroform-methanol (95:5) with a flow rate of 1 ml / minute at a wavelength of 460 nm. The content of β-carotene in the examination is up to 92,5%. The retention time obtained is 1,903 minutes. The results showed that this method can be used for the withdrawal and determination of β-carotene levels without organic chemical solvents.Pola  hidup masyarakat yang cenderung tidak sehat menyebabkan  banyak radikal bebas di dalam tubuh yang dapat mengakibatkan berbagai penyakit terutama penyakit degeneratif.

ABSTRACTThe reaction chamber in the arc production of fullerenes was redesigned with a nozzle surrounding the decomposition zone to allow for clean collection of soot in a filtering cartridge. Quantitative analysis in the region of 300–430 nm in UV-visible spectra permits determination of the abundance of C60 and C70 in the soot. Calibrated curves of absorptivity for both pure fullerenes were employed. In equivalent conditions of current and pressure, electrographites of different origins have different decomposition rates and yields. A mechanism to interpret the cathodic deposit formation is proposed. Decomposition inside a closed cathodic cylinder yields 100% deposit.

Abstract Two sample preparation procedures for determination of total β-carotene and (all-)-β-carotene were tested in a collaborative study involving 14 laboratories and using 4 commercial products containing supplemented or natural β-carotene. One assay used classical sample preparation, consisting of saponification, extraction, washing, and drying ofthe extract and redissolution of residue for liquid chromatography (LC). The other assay used simple extraction without saponification. LC conditions were left for the analysts to decide as long as aclear separation of lycopene and ϑ-carotene from Bcarotene was achieved. Mean contents of test samples ranged from 0.3 to 18 mg/100 g for total β-carotene and from 0.2 to 16 mg/100 g for (all-)-β-carotene. Repeatability relative standard deviations (RSDr)for total B-carotene ranged from 2.9 to 5.6% and relative reproducibility standard deviation (RSDR) ranged from 6.5 to 15%. Corresponding values for(all-)-β-carotene were 3.3-5.1 % for RSDr and 8.4- 14% for RSDR. Excluding the (Z)-isomers from uantitation of β-carotene can result in significant underestimation of the effective β-carotene content especially if the LC systems used is high quality.

ABSTRACTPumpkin (Cucurbita moschata (Duch.) Poir ) is one of the vegetables that is rich in β-carotene as a precursor of vitamin A and has a fairly high carbohydrate content. Pumpkin processing can be done to produce various kinds of products, one of which is cake. Cake is a baked dough and liquid dough made from flour, sugar, salt, ingredients, shortening, milk, eggs, and aroma enhancer. This study aims to determine the levels of β-carotene contained in pumpkin cake and to determine the acceptability of β-carotene in pumpkin cake. This research is an experimental research. The experimental design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 1 control 4 treatments and each treatment was repeated 3 times. The research phase consisted of making flour and making cake. Data collection methods include organoleptic tests and β-carotene tests. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance / ANOVA to determine differences in quality, and if there is an influence then proceed with the Tukey test. Organoleptic test results show that the best treatment of pumpkin cake in terms of color is A1 with a value of 3.88, in terms of aroma namely A0 with a value of 3.92, in terms of texture is A0 with a value of 4.28 and in terms of taste is A0 with value of 4.16. As for the β-carotene test, the treatment of pumpkin cake with the highest β-carotene content was found in A4 with an average of 0.262 and the lowest level was in A0 with an average of 0.018. Based on research data, pumpkin flour is worthy of being used as an alternative source of flour because the resulting cake meets SNI quality standards both in terms of color, taste, aroma, texture and β-carotene content.Keywords : Cake, Pumpkin, β-Carotene, Organoleptic
