Besides having great benefits, porang tubers contain calcium oxalate which causes itching if consumed directly, irritation and kidney stones. The purpose of this study was to make porang tubers free from oxalate content by using various concentrations and types of immersion media on porang. The types of immersion media are water, salt, alcohol, and vinegar. Oxalate rates were analyzed by permanganometric titration method. The results of the diced porang immersion in this study showed that water with a temperature of 70°C with an immersion time of 120 minutes, salt solution at a concentration of 14% with an immersion time of 90 minutes, alcohol with a concentration of 40% with a soaking time of 30 minutes, and vinegar with a concentration of 30% with an immersion time of 150 minutes is the optimal result. While the porang immersion with long slices obtained optimal results in water with a temperature of 50°C with an immersion time of 150 minutes, salt solution at a concentration of 14% with an immersion time of 150 minutes, alcohol with a concentration of 60% with an immersion time of 150 minutes, and vinegar acid with a concentration of 20% with an immersion time of 150 minutes.

Banana peel powder was through a delignification process with the addition of NaOH and bleached with NaClO to took only the cellulose of the banana peel. The mixture of banana peel cellulose-acrylamide-potassium peroxodisulfate powder through the grafting process was repeated with variations in KPS concentration and microwave power. The reaction was terminated with a hydroquinone solution, washed with acetone, and then precipitated. The precipitated solid was dried to a powder called cellulose-g-PAAM.

Entrepreneurship is one of the required competencies for students' graduation at SMK Negeri 1 Mojosongo. Thus, this competency is one of the indicators to determine the quality of graduates from SMK N 1 Mojosongo. The School management has been trying to improve the quality of students and teaching staff. Collaboration between SMK N 1 Mojosongo and Diploma 3 of the Chemical Engineering Study Program of Universitas Sebelas Maret is one of the breakthroughs to increase students' insight. The concept of this collaboration is in the form of knowledge transfer which is packaged in community service activities. This activity begins with identifying the problems experienced by partners such as the need to understand the concept of entrepreneurship, business plans, grant funding, design concepts, product innovation, and business marketing. Before the main agenda begins, students are asked to take a pretest to determine their initial level of understanding. After a presentation on entrepreneurship, the students practice making food product innovations from Nypa fruticans. Finally, the students took the post-test and gave testimonials on the results of the activities. The results of this activity indicate that there is an increase in participants' understanding of entrepreneurship and product innovation with simple technology.","PeriodicalId":11866,"journal":{"name":"Equilibrium Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72565793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CV Plantanesia merupakan industri penghasil minyak dari biji nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum) yang dikenal sebagai Tamanu oil. Minyak tersebut dijual sebagai bahan baku kosmetik untuk produk skin care dan obat tradisional seperti luka, penyakit kulit, rematik, minyak untuk urut maupun obat gatal. Produksi Tamanu oil menghasilkan limbah hasil pengepresan minyak dari bijinya yang berupa bungkil/ampas biji dan cangkang/kulit buah nyamplung. Limbah tersebut dihasilkan dalam jumlah besar dan belum dimanfaatkan sehingga hanya dibuang sebagai sampah dan dibakar. Cangkang biji nyamplung mengandung resin senyawa fenolik yang memiliki sifat antioksidan, anti inflamasi, anti kanker, dan anti mikroba sehingga dapat dimanfaatkan untuk pengobatan Tujuan pengabdian pada masyarakat ini adalah memberikan pelatihan pengolahan limbah pengepresan minyak biji nyamplung, khususnya cangkang biji dan pengolahannya untuk menjadi resin. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di CV. Plantanesia yang berlokasi di Tasikmadu, Kecamatan Jaten, Kabupaten Karanganyar. Pelatihan diberikan dalam bentuk penyuluhan, diskusi dan pelatihan pengambilan (ekstraksi) resin dari cangkang nyamplung.

CV Plantanesia is a home industry that produces nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum) seed oil known as Tamanu oil. The oil is usually used for skin care products and traditional medicines such as wounds, skin diseases, rheumatism, massage oil and itching medicine. Tamanu oil production leaves solid waste from the pressing process, which is cake/seed dregs and shells/skin of nyamplung fruit. This waste is generated in large quantities and has not been utilized, so it is only disposed of as garbage or just burned. Nyamplung seed shells contain resin phenolic compounds which is used as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-microbial properties. It can be used for medical treatment. This project aims to provide training on processing waste nyamplung seed oil, especially the seed shells and their processing to become resin. This activity is carried out at CV.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of the amount of acrylamide and potassium peroxodisulphate (KPS) initiator on the quality of bead gel based on cassava bagasse-carrageenan. Chemical structure of the hydrogel was studied using FTIR spectroscopy. Cassava bagasse was immersed in a solution of n-hexane to separate the fat. Then, fat-free cassava bagasse was grafted with mass ratios of cassava and acrylamide 1:5, 1:10, and 1:15 in 110 mL water. The solution was added with a KPS initiator with weight variations (g) 0.04; 0.08; 0.12 then stirred 15 min. The solution was put in the microwave with 630 watts of irradiation for 450 s with the cooling cycle temperature maintained at 65-70oC.
