KOMPOSISI KIMIA BATANG PANDAN MENGKUANG (Pandanus atrocarpus Griff) SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKU ALTERNATIF PULP
ABSTRACT: A fundamental study
was carried out to explore the properties of pandan mengkuang stem (Pandanus
atrocarpus Griff). In this study chemical compound was investigated, with
regards to pulp and paper production. Completely randomized design was used and
as a factor was plant age. The result showed that the level of plant age, had
significantly affected to the content of holocellulose, α-cellulose, pentosan
and 1% NaOH solubility. The percentage of extractive content, lignin,
holocellulose, α-cellulose, pentosan, ash content and 1% NaOH solubility were 2.83%
~ 3.71 %; 23.08% ~ 23.88%; 66.8% ~ 68.21%; 38.08% ~ 39.06%; 20.68% ~ 21.14%; 2.7%
~ 3.18%; 24.47% ~ 27.19% respectively. The overall results showed that pandan mengkuang
has a promising potential to be used in pulp and paper production.
