Abstract

Alternative fuel oil that is renewable and environmentally friendly because it is made from vegetable oil, one of which is biodiesel. Biodiesel has a biodiesel composition produced from unsaturated fatty acids that cause oxidative degradation of biodiesel. The hygroscopic nature of biodiesel is susceptible to oxidation which causes faster corrosion of the biodiesel storage area itself. The use of organic inhibitors or bioinhibitors is effective and not harmful to the environment. This study aims to determine the quality of biodiesel before and after adding a bioinhibitor. The bioinhibitors used were cocoa beans, guava leaves, and betel leaves as inhibitors obtained from the maceration method with ethanol solvent at room temperature for 48 hours, plus ascorbic acid as a bioinhibitor. The addition of bioinhibitors was carried out with various variations, namely as much as 2mg/100ml, 8mg/100ml, 12mg/100ml. After the addition of the bioinhibitor, tests were carried out including density, viscosity, flash point, pour point and microbial tests. After testing, it was found that the addition of the bioinhibitor did not affect the quality of the biodiesel. The addition of these materials does not affect the quality of biodiesel and still meets SNI standards for biodiesel. Furthermore, testing the quality of biodiesel to ensure the quality of biodiesel is maintained with the addition of a bioinhibitor.
