Eco enzyme production from fruit peel waste and its application as an anti-bacterial and TSS reducing agent

Abstract

The increasing volume of organic waste in garbage dump facilities will emit methane gas, which is one of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. By producing eco enzymes from fruit peel and vegetable waste, we can minimize organic waste while also creating beneficial products. In this research, eco-enzyme was produced from papaya, dragon fruit, and orange peel waste mixed with water and molasses. The weight ratio between water, organic compounds, and molasses was 10:3:1. The mixture was fermented for 3 months. The DNS method was used to test enzyme activity; the ASTM 2315:2008 method was used to measure bacteria killing power; and the SNI 06-6989-3-2004 method was used to measure TSS levels in liquid waste.The Eco enzyme product generated from this research has an amylase enzyme activity of 2.15 and a cellulase activity of 1.69. Eco enzyme effectiveness in killing E. coli bacteria reaches 99.95% and P. aeruginosa bacteria at 99.90% with only 20% of eco enzyme concentration within 15 seconds of contact time. The results of liquid waste processing using this eco enzyme show that TSS reduction rate is 65-88% on an initial TSS concentration of 345 ppm.

Penurunan Kadar Surfaktan, Nitrogen Dan Phospat Air Limbah Domestik Dengan Eco Enzim

“…Limbah domestik memiliki salah satu komponen yang dapat berdampak buruk bagi lingkungan yaitu deterjen atau surfaktan [2]. Pencemaran air berasal dari limbah cair domestik memberikan kontribusi pencemaran air sebesar 87% sementara itu sisanya berasal dari limbah cair industri [3]. Air limbah domestik yang berasal dari usaha laundry berpengaruh terhadap kualitas air tanah, terutama parameter kimia seperti fosfat dan pH [4].…”

“…Penelitian [3] mengkaji dampak eco enzim pada air limbah domestik, untuk menentukan apakah eco enzim membantu atau menghambat penghilangan polutan dalam air limbah domestik. Beberapa kajian menyebutkan eco enzim membantu dekomposisi [27], berfungsi mirip dengan enzim dalam mencapai tingkat degradasi yang lebih tinggi dalam waktu yang lebih singkat untuk air limbah domestik.…”

“…Analisis penelitian [3] pada fase 1 menunjukkan bahwa pengenceran eco enzim yang lebih tinggi menghasilkan larutan yang lebih asam. Hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa amonia nitrogen dan fosfor telah dihilangkan oleh eco enzim.…”

Ecoenzyme Production, Characteristics, and Applications: A Review

“…After the storage period is reached, the ecoenzyme is harvested by filtering it to obtain the solution (Figure 1). [12] There are some modifications found in processing ecoenzymes, such as in the utilization of type of sugar and fruit/vegetable waste. It was found that the most common types of sugar used are brown sugar, molasses, and jaggery.…”
