Partial transesterification of palm oil with ethanol in diglyceride production as emulsifierHigh growth rate of palm oil production has encouraged palm diversification to be other products with higher economic value, which one of them is emulsifier. Emulsifier based on vegetable oil is biodegradable so they won’t soil our environment. Besides that, its continuity of provisioning is also ensured because it is a renewable resource. In production of emulsifier based on palm oil, transesterification reaction is a first step that influences quality of emulsifier produced. The aim of this research is to determine the condition of palm oil partial transesterification. The partial transesterification process used NaOH as catalyst and palm oil. Variables varied were percent weight of NaOH (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 {mole NaOH/kg oil}), transesterification temperature (40, 50, 60, and 70oC), reaction time (15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes), ratio of reactant (1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and 1:6{mole oil:mole ethanol}),  to discuss these effects to diglyceride product activity. Diglyceride product was tested by its ability as emulsifier in system stability of oil/water emulsion and to decrease surface tension of water. Result of this research indicated that diglyceride product has optimum declining of surface tension of water on percent weight of NaOH of 0.3 mole NaOH/kg oil, transesterification temperature of 50 oC, reaction time of 30 minutes, and ratio of reactant of 1:6 mole oil: mole ethanol.Keywords: diglyceride, emulsifier, NaOH, palm oil, transesterification. AbstrakLaju pertumbuhan produksi minyak kelapa sawit yang tinggi mendorong perlunya diversifikasi minyak kelapa sawit menjadi produk lain dengan nilai ekonomis tinggi, salah satunya adalah sebagai agen pengemulsi.

There is a great potential for bamboo to be applied as a biofuel for the future due to its good fuel properties with low alkali index and fast growth rate. Torrefaction treatment can increase the fuel quality of biomass in terms of the calorific value, energy density and storability. The aim of this research was to explore the effect of torrefaction temperature and reaction time on the fuel properties of B. vulgaris and G. scorthecinii. The bamboos were treated at various torrefaction temperatures (200, 250 and 300˚C) and reaction time (15, 30, 45 mins). In overall, the highest higher heating value was obtained from bamboos torrefied at 300ºC for 45 mins. In general, the temperature used in torrefaction has a relatively stronger effect on the higher heating value while the impact of the residence time was considerably lesser.

The presence of glyceryl esters (GE) and 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE) in refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm oil is severely concerning to the palm oil consumer. In the present study, the influence of the phosphoric acid degumming process on the formation of GE and 3-MCDE and in the RBD palm oil was determined with varying the acid dose (0.03–0.06 wt%), temperature (70–100 °C), and reaction time (15–45 min). The experimental conditions of the acid degumming process were designed following the central composite design of experiments, and they were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on the minimal formation of GE and 3-MCDE in the RBD palm oil. The optimal experimental conditions of the acid degumming process were a reaction time of 30 min, phosphoric acid concentration of 0.06 wt%, and temperature of 90 °C. Under these experimental conditions, the minimal GE and 3-MCDE formation in RBD palm oil were determined to be 0.61 mg/kg and 0.59 mg/kg; respectively. Several analytical methods were employed to determine RBD palm oil quality, including color, phosphorus, free fatty acids (FFAs), peroxide values, and fatty acid properties. It was found that the phosphoric acid degumming of CPO effectively removed the phosphorus and hydroperoxide content without conceding the quality of palm oil.

Various blanching methods and drying temperatures were applied to bell pepper (Capiscum annum) to investigate the effect on its drying characteristics. Pepper (Capiscum annum) is an abundant and cheap source of vitamins, minerals and fibre. However, its high moisture content makes it susceptible to deterioration. The most common method of preservation is drying but the dried products obtained are of reduced nutritional qualities. Pretreatment of pepper before drying improves the quality of the dried pepper and increases its drying rate. Steam and water blanching as a form of pretreatment has been reported to increase drying rate and improve the quality of dried products but there is not much information on other types of oil/water blanching methods. The effect of blanching (steam, water, palm oil/water and groundnut oil/water) as a pretreatment on the drying kinetics of bell pepper dried at temperatures of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90o C, was studied. Drying of raw untreated bell pepper was taken as a control. The results indicate that water removal at the initial stage of the drying process was highest and there was a rapid decrease as drying continued until equilibrium was reached at the end of process. The blanched samples generally had higher drying rates (at p<0.05) than the untreated samples. The values for the drying rate for steam and water blanched samples were higher (but not at p<0.05) than the drying rates for samples blanched in oil/water mixtures. The drying rate as well as effective moisture diffusivity, Deff, increased with increasing drying temperature. Values of Deff varied from 3.55 x 10-9 m 2/s to 2.34 x 10-9 m 2/s with the highest being SB (steam blanched) at 80oC and the lowest UB (unblanched) at 50oC. The drying process took place mainly in the falling rate period. The activation energies varied from 39.59 to 83.87 kJ/mol, with PB (palm oil/water blanched) samples having the lowest and UB having the highest Ea value. The lower values for pretreated samples imply that water movement from the internal regions is faster in pretreated samples. This suggests that blanching as a method of pretreatment generally increases water diffusion.

The present paper investigated the influence of the reaction time on the quality (physical-chemical properties) of biofuels obtained by catalytic cracking of crude palm oil (CPO). The influence of the reaction time (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min) on the quality of crude biofuels denominated organic liquid products (OLP) was investigated through experiments carried out in a cracking pilot plant with capacity of 143 L in the following operating conditions: 20 wt% sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) as catalyst, 450 °C, 1 atm and batch mode operation. The quality of the biofuels produced was certified through physical-chemical analyzes (acid value, saponification value, specific gravity, refractive index, kinematic viscosity, corrosiveness to copper, and flash point). The results show that the physical-chemical properties of OLP decrease as the reaction time increases, in such a way that, catalytic cracking process occurs efficiently in the interval of 10 to 20 min after its start, which can be finalized when it reaches 30 minutes of reaction. In addition, Na2CO3 was essential as a catalyst in the cracking reaction to reduce the physical-chemical properties of OLPs obtained at different times, allowing the specific gravity, kinematic viscosity and corrosivity to copper to be within or very close to the limits established for Diesel S10.

<p>Cultivation of porang plants now has a promising prospect because it has a high<br />economic value. Glucomannan content in porang is quite high (15-64% dry base).<br />Glucomannan, the natural polymers contained in porang corms, can be modified by<br />carboxymethylation. The synthesis of carboxy methyl glucomannan took place over two<br />steps, alkalization and carboxymethylation. Alkalization was conduct using NaOH in<br />ethanol 70% as the medium. The carboxymethylation steps was conducted by adding<br />sodium chloroacetate as the reagent. The quality of carboxy methyl glucomannan was<br />determined from its Degree of Substitution (DS). The results showed that the highest<br />degree of substitution was 0.47 with 70% ethanol as medium and at temperature 65<br />o<br />C for <br />150 minutes reaction time. From the data obtained, it can be seen that the reaction of<br />glucomannan carboxymethylation proceeded at 1<br />st<br /> order reaction, with the collision factor<br />value (A) of 491.227 J/mol.K and its activation energy (Ea) of 30,994.59 J/mol.K.</p>

ABSTRACTThe effect of fermentation on cassava meal diets supplemented with 0, 2, 4 and 6% levels of palm oil on the performance, carcass characteristics and economic value of broiler chickens was studied. During the growing phase, fermentation had no influence on growth rate, but resulted in reduced mortality and improved efficiency of feed utilization in the chickens. However, there were greater intakes of fermented cassava meal diets, higher efficiency of feed utilization, better growth rate and reduced mortality during the finishing phase. Abdominal fat was lower during both phases in chickens given the fermented cassava meal diets than those given the cassava meal diets. There was evidence of economic benefits in reduced feed cost, increased gross revenue and higher revenue less feed cost values in fermented cassava meal than in cassava meal diets. There were non-significant reductions in feed intake, mortality rate, daily rate of gain, final body weight and carcass quality, but significant economic benefits during both growing and finishing phases as the level of supplementary palm oil increased in the diets. The results suggest that while about 2% palm oil might be required in fermented cassava meal diets, 2 to 4% would be needed in cassava meal diets by broiler chickens for comparable performance.

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
