Alkyl
polyglycosides (APG) is a nonionic surfactant that has been getting some green labels such as
Ecocert, EU Eco-flower and Green Seal as an environmentally friendly surfactant. Sugar is the main
raw material which is supplied the hydrophilic group, and fatty alcohol as hydrophobic group. Some
undesirable compounds formed during the APG production and caused low quality. The aim of this
research to increase the quality and performance of APG, by controlling its process. Addition 0-10%
of activated carbon and 0-0.3% of NaBH4 in APG pre-purification process; 2% (w/w) of H2O2, 35%
and 500 ppm of MgO in the bleaching process were examined to process high quality and high
performance of APG. The best APG was obtained from purification step by addition 0% of activated
carbon and 0.2% of NaBH4, with the characteristics of clarity of 59.02(%T); the ability to reduce
surface and interfacial tensions at 1% concentration were 61.94% and 95.6% respectively; 81.71%
of stability of emulsion, 62.5% of foam height and stable up to 315 minutes.
Alkil Poliglikosida (APG) merupakan surfaktan nonionic yang telah mendapatkan beberapa green
label seperti Ecocert, EU Eco-flower Green Seal dan sebagainya sebagai surfaktan yang ramah
lingkungan. Bahan dasar APG yaitu gula untuk membentuk gugus hidrofiliknya dan fatty alcohol
untuk membentuk gugus hidrofobiknya. Permasalahan dalam produksi APG adalah timbulnya warna
gelap yang tidak dikehendaki yang menyebabkan penurunan mutu APG. Tujuan dari penelitian ini
yaitu untuk meningkatkan mutu dan kinerja dari APG. Untuk meningkatkan kecerahan APG, maka
sebelum dilakukan proses destilasi dilakukan penambahan arang aktif 0-10% serta NaBH4 0-0,3%.
Pada proses pemucatan ditambahkan 2% (b/b) H2O2 35% dan MgO 500 ppm. Hasil terbaik yaitu
penambahan arang aktif 0% dan NaBH4 0,2% dengan karakteristik kecerahan 59,02(%T);
kemampuan menurunkan tegangan permukaan dan antar muka pada konsentrasi 1% sebesar 61,94%
dan 95,6%; kestabilan emulsi 81,71%, tinggi busa 62,5% dan umur busa 315 menit.
