Characterization compound chemical from cocoa waste as acetic acid and phenol

Abstract

Potential Cocoa bean and derivative products consist compound of polyphenols and different potential levels of antioxidants. The greater content of polyphenols provides benefits to human health, cosmetic and food functional. Pyrolysis compounds under go decomposition into lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose in the biomass waste that produce liquid smoke, tar, charcoal and other. The results of produce liquid smoke, tar and charcoal. Analysis of the lignin content of the cocoa pod husks from Barru District was 44.98%, cellulose was 60.03%, hemicellulose 15.54%, while the lignin content analysis of cocoa pod husks from Sidrap was 43.17%, cellulose was 43.26%, hemicellulose is 3.13%, and other is 31.3%. At a pyrolysis temperature of 514 ° C, the acetic acid content was 8.94% and the phenol content was 1.23% for the liquid smoke of the fruit skins of Barru Regency, while the acetic acid content was 4.37% and the phenol content was 9.34% for liquid smoke Sidrap Regency, From the separation of chemical compounds from the liquid smoke of cocoa pod skin in Barru Regency, it turns out that the highest content of acetic acid is 42.61% and phenol by 5.56% compared to other chemical compounds. From the separation of chemical compounds from the liquid smoke of the cocoa pods in Sidrap Regency, it turned out that the highest content of acetic acid was 42.51% and phenol by 5.54% compared to other chemical compounds.
