Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is raw oil obtained through the extraction of palm fruit pulp, typically requiring several refining processes to remove impurities such as gums. Gums contain a high amount of phosphatides that can be eliminated through a degumming process. The removal of non-hydratable phosphatides, which cannot be removed by adding water, is usually performed with the addition of acids, a …

The data collection instruments used were validation sheets and user response questionnaires. The subjects of this …
Maredan clay is synthesized to produce zeolites that can be utilized as adsorbents in adsorbing CO2. This research aims to synthesize zeolite from Maredan clay due to its high SiO2 and Al2O3 content. Maredan clay was characterized using XRF to determine the oxide content in it. The method used in the synthesis of zeolite is alkaline hydrothermal fusion by mixing NaOH solids and Maredan clay 1:1…
Biodiesel poduction currrently focussed on the used of heterogeneous catalyst. CaO catalyst is a heterogeneous catalyst that is commonly used for biodiesel synthesis. The CaO catalyst has a weakness, namely the presence of Ca2+ which results in saponification reaction, easily reacts with air and water vapour which form Ca(OH)2 thereby reduced the catalytic activity of the catalyst, the formatio…
Trichoderma produced various enzyme such as glukanase, protease, kitinase, selulase, lakase and xilanase which are a colection from the Enzyme, Fermentation and Molecular Biolgy, Laboratory, Department Chemistry FMIPA, University of Riau isolated from the soil of cocoa plantation in Riau. These enzyme can degradation organic materials and suspended materials in POME into simpler compunds and ca…
Alum (Aluminum sulfate) is one of the chemicals commonly used in the coagulation process. However, alum has a negative impact on the environment so that biocoagulants need to be used to minimize the impact. Durian seeds (Durio zibethinus) have active components in the form of protein and starch that can act as environmentally safe biocoagulants. This study aims to determine the performance of a…
The lifestyle of teenagers and students in Pekanbaru today is characterized by the habit of gathering in busy areas that sell various trendy drinks. However, behind the popularity of these drinks, an important aspect is often overlooked the microbiological quality of these products. Currently, there is no accessible data regarding microbial contamination in drinks sold at various outlets in Pe…
Depression is a mental disorder involving mood swings that can be treated using antidepressants. Areca nut extract has potential as an antidepressant drug and has been tested in vivo and in silico. Test results using the Forced Swim Test (FST) method for simultaneous test animals showed that n-hexane extract of old areca nut seeds (ENHPT) 50 mg/kg was the best dose as an antidepressant drug and…
Depression is a mental health disorder that affects behavior and emotions in daily activities over a long period of time. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressant drugs, one of which is fluoxetine, are often used by physicians to manage symptoms of depression. The results of in vivo tests using the forced swim test (FST) method of multiple animal tests simultaneously have s…
Laccase is an enzyme belonging to the multicopper oxidase group, capable of catalyzing various substrates, including phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. Laccase is considered as an ideal "green catalyst" due to its catalytic capabilities, making it widely used in industrial processes. The most commonly applied laccases in biotechnology are mostly derived from fungi. White-rot fungi from the Ba…
