Laccase enzyme (E.C1.10.3.2: oxygen oxidoreductase) is a multi-copper enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation process of various types of organic and inorganic compounds such as mono, di- and polyphenol compounds, aminophenols, methoxyphenols, substituted phenols, diamines, aromatic amines and ascorbic acid. Laccase is an oxidoreductase enzyme produced by various organisms, primarily fungi. This re…
Silica Catalyst (SiO2) is a heterogeneous catalyst that can be used in producing diesel precursors through hydroxyalkylation-alkylation (HAA) reactions. Silica (SiO2) as a catalyst material has a high surface area, good chemical and thermal stability, but lacks better adsorption capacity and catalytic activity, hence the addition of sulfate groups is necessary. The addition of sulfate functiona…

Monstera deliciosa Liebm is a tropical plant belonging to the Araceae family which originates from tropical rainforests in Central America. M. Deliciosa contains secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids and phenolics which have quite good anticancer, antibacterial and antioxidant activity. This research aims to isolate and characterize alkaloid compounds …
Papaya seed (Carica papaya) is a plant material derived from the papaya fruit that is not maximally utilised and becomes waste that is not used by the community. Papaya seeds have active components in the form of proteins that can act as coagulant agents. This study aims to prepare, characterise and determine the effectiveness of the effect of particle size and solvent concentration on papaya s…
The synthesis of biodiesel using a CaO-SiO₂ catalyst derived from blood clam shells (CaO) and palm kernel shell fly ash (SiO₂) has been conducted. The results obtained thus far are not yet optimal, as the surface area and catalytic activity remain low. To enhance the surface area of the catalyst, the addition of metal oxides, such as Fe₂O₃, is necessary. ............................
The CaO-SiO2 catalyst is a type of heterogeneous catalyst widely used in biodiesel production. Modifying the CaO-SiO2 catalyst by adding Fe2O3 can enhance its catalytic activity, surface area, and increase the number of active sites, resulting in a higher biodiesel yield. The aim of this study was to synthesize the CaO-SiO2/Fe2O3 catalyst from blood clam shells, coconut husks, and Fe2O3 powder …
The mango seed contains active components, such as proteins, which can act as coagulant agents (biocoagulants). This study aims to prepare, characterize, and evaluate the effectiveness of mango seed as a biocoagulant for the removal of color, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), and total dissolved solids (TDS) in peat water. Mango seed biocoagulants were prepared using dry grinding (PK) an…
Heterogeneous base catalysts are commonly used as substitutes for homogeneous catalysts in the transesterification reaction for biodiesel synthesis, with CaO being a prominent example. CaO can be obtained from blood clam shells through calcination at temperatures above 700℃. However, CaO catalyst has a relatively low surface area, necessitating modifications, such as the addition of Fe2O3, to…
Street-vended beverages are drinks prepared and sold by street vendors in crowded public areas, such as markets and streets, intended for immediate consumption without further processing. This study aimed to assess the microbiological safety of street-vended beverages sold by vendors in Pekanbaru City. Samples were collected from seven districts, yielding a total of 16 beverage samples. Microbi…
Carbon dots from fluff tea are one of the adsorbents that can be used to remove colorants from water. Fluff tea is a waste product from tea processing factories, consisting of whole and broken tea leaves and branches resulting from green tea production. Fluff tea contains amino acids, proteins, cellulose, microelements, tannins, and polyphenols that can be utilized as adsorbents. This research …
The potential for discovering new antibiotic alternatives through the exploration of local microbes from Riau as a source of bioactive compounds is significant. However, isolating active compounds using a guided assay approach presents challenges due to the limited amount of extract and the low yield obtained from microbial fermentation. To address these challenges, it is crucial to optimize fe…
Asplenium nidus, commonly known as bird's nest fern, belongs to the Aspleniaceae family. This fern typically grows in both lowland and highland areas, characterized by a single leaf and a rosette-shaped group of leaves, and it cannot tolerate direct sunlight. This study aims to isolate and characterize compounds from the chloroform extract of A. nidus and evaluate its antifungal activity using …
Infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, are becoming increasingly difficult to treat due to improper use of antibiotics leading to bacterial resistance. Therefore, new antibacterial agents are needed, and one continuously developed source is plants. One potential herbal plant is lampeni (Ardisia humilis Vahl) from the Primulaceae family and Ardisia genus, with several species repo…
Indeks Williamson menunjukkan bahwa ketimpangan antarwilayah di Riau mengikuti pola konvergensi dengan kurva cenderung berbentuk huruf U terbalik, artinya ketimpangan pada awalnya meningkat tetapi kemudian menurun seiring waktu. Kabupaten Bengkalis, Siak, Rohul, Inhil, dan Meranti merupakan penyumbang utama ketimpangan, Bengkalis dan Siak berkontribusi karena di atas rata-rata, sedangkan R…
Cascaded Fiber Bragg Grating (CasFBG) was introduced as an innovative solution to address the challenge of optical signal dispersion on single-mode optical fibers. The system is designed to improve the quality of optical transmission by minimizing the dispersion effect, so as to support the performance of more reliable and efficient optical communication networks. The implementation and analysi…
