"ABSTRACTThe Oil derrived from the oil palm plant has become one of the most contested agricultural commodities in Southeast Asia, and development of novel uses for it is in high demand. Trehalose fatty acid esters have begun attracting attention due to their specific potent applications (based on the exceptional intrinsic properties of the hydrophilic trehalose part) and their amphiphilicity. In order to enhance the usability of palm products and trehalose fatty acid esters, in this present study we focused on the use of trehose fatty acid monoesters (TMEs) prepared with natural fatty acids extracted from oil palms as cryoprotectants.

"ABSTRAKProses penghilangan asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit dengan proses pelucutan kukus menyebabkan antioksidan alami dalam minyak sawit ikut teruapkan dan rusak akibat suhu tinggi. Ekstraksi cair-cair menggunakan pelarut etanol pada penghilangan asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit juga belum dapat meminimalkan ikut larutnya antioksidan ke fasa ekstrak. Pada proses ekstraksi menggunakan pelarut NADES, terdapat interaksi antara molekul-molekul pada NADES dengan zat terlarut. Tujuan penelitian disertasi ini yaitu: 1 mengevaluasi interaksi antara molekul-molekul betain monohidrat dengan HBD serta interaksi antara molekul asam lemak bebas dengan molekul NADES secara eksperimen dan simulasi dinamika molekuler, 2 mendapatkan pelarut NADES yang paling selektif maksimal mengekstraksi asam palmitat namun tidak mengekstraksi antioksidan alami -tokoferol dan -karoten , 3 mengevaluasi korelasi sifat fisika-kimia NADES polaritas, densitas dan viskositas dengan koefisien distribusi zat terlarut dan 4 mendapatkan kembali pelarut NADES dengan batch cooling crystallization. Pelarut NADES dari campuran betain monohidrat dan HBD hydrogen bond donor asam karboksilat/poliol efektif mengekstraksi asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit dengan koefisien distribusi asam palmitat mencapai 0.97. Koefisien distribusi antioksidan -tokoferol dan -karoten tidak melebihi 0.03, dan ini mampu mempertahankan antioksidan alami dalam minyak sawit sampai 99 . Adanya interaksi ikatan hidrogen antara molekul betain monohidrat dan HBD, juga interaksi antara asam palmitat dengan molekul betain, air serta HBD mempengaruhi kemampuan NADES untuk mengekstraksi asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit. Pelarut betain monohidrat-gliserol DES pada rasio mol 1/8 memiliki selektivitas tertinggi 1067 pada suhu 50oC dan rasio massa minyak sawit/pelarut 1/1. NADES ini lebih selektif dibanding pelarut larutan etanol. NADES berbasis betain monohidrat memiliki polaritas dalam rentang polaritas air dan etanol, viskositas 6.5-310 cSt dan densitas1.02-1.22 g cm-3. Peningkatan viskositas dan densitas NADES menyebabkan koefisien distribusi asam palmitat menurun. NADES dapat diperoleh kembali dari fase ekstrak dengan batch cooling crystallization. Asam palmitat yang terpisah dari fase ekstrak mencapai 98.3 dengan pendinginan pada suhu 21 C selama 22 jam. Ekstraksi asam lemak bebas dari minyak sawit menggunakan NADES sebagai pelarut hijau serta proses untuk mendapatkan kembali pelarut dengan batch cooling crystallization ini adalah layak berdasarkan pendekatan proof of concept.

ABSTRACTDeacidification of palm oil that performed by stream stripping induce the antioxidant compounds that originally present in palm oil is partially evaporated and destroy due to high temperature. Deacidification of palm oil by liquid-liquid extraction using ethanol as a solvent has low selectivity. In the extraction processes using NADES natural deep eutectic solvents as the solvents, the interactions between NADES molecules and solute were present. The aims of this work are 1 evaluate the molecular interaction between NADES-based betaine monohydrate molecules and solute as palmitic acid , 2 screening a selected NADES as a solvent for the extraction of free fatty acids from palm oil, 3 evaluate the correlation between physicochemical properties of NADES such as density, viscosity and polarity and the distribution coefficients of solute, 3 the recovery of NADES by cooling crystallization process was studied. NADES that formed by mixing of betaine monohydrate and carboxylic acid/poliol as the hydrogen bond donor HBD were the effective solvents for the extraction of free fatty acids from palm oil with distribution coefficient of palmitic acid up to 0.97. Additionally, the distribution coefficients of natural antioxidant compounds lower than 0.03 antioxidants in palm oil can be preserved in palm oil up to 99 . The presence of hydrogen bonding interactions between betaine monohydrate and HBD molecules, interactions between palmitic acid and betaine, water and HBD affect the ability of NADES to extract of palmitic acid from palm oil. The betaine monohydrate-glycerol DES molar ratio of 1:8 has highest selectivity at temperature of 50oC and mass ratio of oil to solvent of 1:1 up to 1067. This NADES has higher selectivity if compared the hydrated ethanol as a solvent. NADES-based betaine monohydrate have the polarity in the range of polarity of water and ethanol. The density of NADES in the range 1.02-1.22 g cm-3 and the viscosity in the range 6.5-310 cSt. The increase in the density and viscosity of NADES induce the distribution coefficients of palmitic acid decreased. This NADES can be recovered by batch cooling crystallization. The separated amount of palmitic acid from extract phase was obtained up to 98.3 at cooling temperature of 21 C for 22 hours. Based on the proof of concept, the extraction of palm oil from palm oil process using NADES as green solvents, and also recovery of solvent by batch cooling crystallization is feasible."

The specific bacteria in forests and on oil palm plantations are lipolytic bacteria. Their enzymes have been applied in the agro-aquaculture, food, detergent, pharmaceutical, dairy, and biodiesel-biokerosene industries. This study describes the diversity of cultivable lipolytic bacteria from soil and aquatic sediment in a forest and on an oil palm plantation and their fatty acid products. Soil samples used in this research were obtained from topsoil in a lowland forest and on an oil palm plantation and from sediments in fresh water near these sites. The forest is located in Bukit Duabelas National Park, and the oil palm plantation is near the forest in Sarolangun District, Jambi Province, Indonesia. Twenty-two isolates of lypolitic bacteria were selected from 32 isolates grown in lipolytic selective medium. The 22 consisted of 11 isolates from topsoil and 11 from aquatic sediment from the forest and plantation area. These isolates were identified by 16S rRNA-sequence data analysis. Taxonomically, they belonged to five genera: Burkholderia, Cupriavidus, Serratia, Acinetobacter, and Kurthia. The maximum likelihood tree showed that they are phylogenetically distributed in three clusters. They were clustered into three groups: the Burkholderia-Cupriavidus group, the Serratia-Acinetobacter group, and the Kurthia group. Their lipolytic enzymes formed various fatty acids after analysis by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Some isolates formed essential fatty acids, such as linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic, eicosapentanoic acid (EPA), and docosahexanoic acid (DHA)."

"In the palm oil refining processes, the free fatty acid content is reduced to an acceptable level by using steam-stripping that causes, also, the loss of nutraceuticals such as tocopherols and carotenoids. An alternative method, such as solvent extraction, to separate free fatty acids, especially palmitic acid as the major free fatty acid present in palm oil, will conserves not only the important nutraceuticals but, also, conserves energy because a steam requirement is eliminated. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES), each consisting of betaine as the hydrogen bonding acceptor and a polyalcohol as the hydrogen bonding donor, to extract palmitic acid from palm oil. The goal is to obtain a NADES that is able to extract palmitic acid from palm oil with the highest extraction yield. The viscosity of various studied NADES was 10-236 cSt while the polarity parameter, determined by using Nile red as the solvatochromic dye, was 48.9-50.8 kcal/mol. The obtained data shows that, for NADES having similar polarity to that of betaine, the extraction yields reduce with increasing viscosity of the NADES. The highest extraction yield of 60% (w/w), corresponding to a distribution coefficient value of 0.75, was obtained by using NADES consisting of betaine and 1,2-butanediol. The extraction yield and distribution coefficient values indicated the potential of NADES, prepared by friendly compounds of betaine and polyalcohols, as alternative green solvents in the solvent extraction process when separating free fatty acids from palm oil."

"Penelitian berupa peningkatan kualitas bio-oil dengan bahan baku tandan kosong kelapa sawit merupakan sebuah kontribusi untuk merealisasikan pemanfaatan biooil sebagai bahan bakar alternatif. Hingga saat ini, terdapat beberapa kendala yang menghalangi penggunaan bio-oil di tengah masyarakat, yaitu rendahnya nilai heating value, tingginya tingkat keasaman, korosif, dan tidak stabilnya produk. Permasalahan tersebut bersumber dari tingginya kandungan senyawa oksigenat di dalam bio-oil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan bio-oil dengan kadar oksigenat yang lebih rendah. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan metode fast pyrolysis pada temperatur 550o C, dengan empat perlakuan, yaitu produksi bio-oil tanpa katalis, dengan katalis RCC komersial, dengan katalis zeolit alam lampung teraktivasi, dan dengan katalis nanokristal ZSM-5 yang disintesis di laboratorium. Dari hasil sintesis katalis tidak terbentuk kristal SiO2, Al2O3, dan kristal mineral zeolit tertentu sehingga diperoleh beberapa evaluasi dari sintesis yang dijalankan. Produk bio-oil memiliki properti fisik dan kimia yang berbeda satu sama lain. Katalis zeolit terbukti mampu mereduksi senyawa oksigenat. Selain itu, katalis tersebut meningkatkan sejumlah kadar fenol yang mampu menaikkan nilai heating value. Secara berurutan, kandungan senyawa oksigenat dan fenol pada bio-oil tanpa katalis, dengan RCC komersial, dengan ZAL teraktivasi, dan dengan katalis sintesis adalah 42,48% dan 10,74%; 31,79% dan 29,1%; 33,26% dan 26,49%; serta 36,09% dan 22,94%. RCC komersial merupakan katalis yang memberikan produk bio-oil terbaik dengan penurunan senyawa oksigenat. Hal ini disebabkan karena kekuatan kristal yang lebih baik dibandingkan katalis zeolit alam teraktivasi dan katalis yang disintesis di laboratorium.

Research in increasing quality of bio-oil with empty fruit bunch of palm as raw materials was a contribution to realize the utilization of bio-oil as an alternative fuel. There were several obstacles that inhibit the use of bio-oil, namely low heating value, high levels of acidity, corrosive, and unstable products. Those problem were due to the high content of oxygenate compounds in the bio-oil.

Purpose of the research is to get bio-oil product with less oxygenate compounds. This study uses methods of fast pyrolysis at 550o C, with four treatments: production of bio-oil without catalyst, with commercial RCC, with activated lampung zeolite catalyst, and with nanocrystal ZSM-5 catalyst synthesized in the laboratory.

Synthesis catalyst did not form crystal SiO2, Al2O3 and specific zeolite mineral, so it brings some evaluations. Bio-oil products have different physical and chemical properties. Zeolite catalyst can reduce oxygenate compounds. Besides, it is able to increase phenol quantity that makes effect for increasing of heating value.

Sequentially, oxygenates and phenol content in bio-oil produced without catalyst, with commercial RCC, with activated lampung zeolite catalyst, and with nanocrystal ZSM-5 catalyst synthesized are 42.48% and 10.74%; 31.79% and 29.1%; 33.26% and 26.49%; 36.09% and 22.94%. Commercial RCC gives best quality bio-oil with less oxygenates. It is caused by better crystalline strength compared with activated lampung zeolit catalyst and synthesized catalyst at laboratory."

Acne is a skin disease that often occurs in adolescence, especially on the face, which can cause a person's confidence to decrease. Therefore, it takes the right treatment to inhibit acne growth. Clinically, the active substance of azelaic acid has been shown to be effective as an anti-acne agent that can inhibit the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, there by reducing the production of protein needed by bacteria to survive. To achieve a good therapeutic effect, azelaic acid has limited penetration of the sebaceous glands in the dermis of the skin. Therefore, to overcome its limitations it is formulated in the form of a microemulsion with olive oil as a carrier oil compared to palm oil to increase penetration, each concentration used by 3%. The method used was homogenizer and optimization of the smix formulation (surfactant and cosurfactant) with a concentration (8: 1) to obtain a clear and stable microemulsion formulation. For the drug penetration test, the cumulative amount of the olive oil formulation with penetration was 6457.94 μg/cm2 ± 0.75% and the palm oil formulation was 5597.44 μg/cm2 ± 1.86%. Meanwhile, the amount of flux obtained in the olive oil formulation was 807.24 μg/cm2.hour ± 0.74% and the palm oil formulation was 669.68 μg/cm2.hour ± 1.82%. The results showed that the two microemulsion formulations remained physically stable during storage and the formulations using olive oil as a carrier oil provided more penetration than the palm oil formulations."
