Abstract

A color scanner application using the TCS3200 sensor, Arduino Uno microcomputer with IDE Software Program, a black box container, and a 12x2 matrix display has been designed, built, and tested. This sensor is employed to measure the level of borax in food items such as meatballs, tofu, and noodles in Banda Aceh. The obtained results are then compared with the measurement results of the Standard Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) method. Samples were prepared using centrifuge technique and the filtrate was collected. Subsequently, optical samples were prepared using dried filter paper with curcumin and scanned with the TCS3200 color sensor. Sample collection was carried out at Lamnyong Market, Lamdingin Market, Seutui Market, Suzuya Mall, and Ulee Kareng Market. Sample identification was performed using qualitative analysis, namely the flame test, and quantitative analysis using the TCS3200 color sensor based on Arduino Uno. The results of the quantitative analysis obtained from the TCS3200 color sensor compared with the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) method as the standard method indicate that the samples of meatballs, tofu, and noodles do not contain the harmful preservative borax. The positive control for borax using the TCS3200 color sensor is 56.8 ppm, while using the UV-Vis spectrophotometer it is 57.6 ppm. The t-test results from both methods show consistency between the TCS3200 color sensor measurement method and UV-Vis spectrophotometer      Keywords, Borax, meatballs, tofu, noodles, flame test, TCS3200 color sensor, UV-Vis spectrophotometer

Abstract

Development of a carbon electrode sensor from used tire waste via pyrolysis, modified with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for mercury detection using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. EDTA plays a role in metal complexation due to its strong response to mercury metal. The FTIR results of the carbon electrode and EDTA show a C–N bond at a wavenumber of 1,217.08 cm−1, indicating the presence of EDTA. The SEM results reveal a clear difference between the unmodified carbon electrode and the EDTA-modified carbon electrode. The calibration graph is linear, with an R2 value of 0.9961, a sensitivity of 0.3472, as well as LoD and LoQ values of 0.03 and 0.08 ppm, respectively. The correlation coefficient is less than 2%, and the %recovery is within the allowable error range. Mercury measurements in Sungai Mas water samples, Aceh Barat, using voltammetry and AAS, exceed the threshold set by Indonesian Government Regulation (PPRI) No. 22 of 2021. The t-test results for the two Hg measurement methods at a 5% significance level (α) show that tcalculated < ttable (0.083 < 2.571). This indicates no significant difference between the voltammetry and AAS methods for measuring Hg concentrations in water.
