Pengaruh Proporsi Air dan Etanol sebagai Pelarut terhadap Aktivitas Antioksidan Angkak Biji Durian dengan Metode Phosphomolybdenum dan Dpph

Angkak is rice fermented product by Monascus sp. Beside rice, durian seeds can be a substrate of Monascus sp. Monascus sp. produces some antioxidant metabolites during fermentation. The purpose of this research investigated the effect of proportion of water and ethanol as solvent for antioxidant activity of durian seeds angkak with phosphomolybdenum and DPPH method. The proportions of water and ethanol as solvents were 100:0 (E0) ; 80:20 (E20) ; 60:40 (E40) ; 40:60 (E60) ; 30:70 (E70) ; and 20:80 (E80) (v/v). ANOVA\u27s result (α=5%) showed that proportion of water and ethanol as solvent interacted pigment content and antioxidant activity of durian seeds angkak. Yellow pigment was dominant pigmen in durian seeds angkak. Ethanol 40% was most effective solvent and ethanol 80% was not effective solvent to extraction durian seeds angkak pigment. The higher antioxidant activity of durian seeds angkak was ethanol 40% (0,5876 mg AAE/g sample (wb)) for DPPH method and ethanol 0% (6,7899 mg AAE/g sample (wb) and 6,4247 mg GAE/g sample (wb)) for phosphomolybdenum method

Nanotechnology for environmentally sustainable electromobility

ABSTRACT: Electric vehicles (EVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) or proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cells (PEMFCs) offer important potential climate change mitigation effects when combined with clean energy sources. The development of novel nanomaterials may bring about the next wave of technical improvements for LIBs and PEMFCs. If the next generation of EVs is to lead to not only reduced emissions during use but also environmentally sustainable production chains, the research on nanomaterials for LIBs and PEMFCs should be guided by a life-cycle perspective. In this Analysis, we describe an environmental life-cycle screening framework tailored to assess nanomaterials for electromobility. By applying this framework, we offer an early evaluation of the most promising nanomaterials for LIBs and PEMFCs and their potential contributions to the environmental sustainability of EV life cycles. Potential environmental trade-offs and gaps in nanomaterials research are identified to provide guidance for future nanomaterial developments for electromobility
