Abstract:
Durian seeds (Durio zibethinus) are durian fruit waste which has active
components in the form of protein and starch which can act as coagulant agents.
This study aims to determine the biocoagulant performance of prepared durian
seeds dry mill (DM) method of durian seeds in peat water TSS removal.
Characterization of biocoagulants was carried out by determining protein content
with the Kjeldahl test. Determination of the effectiveness of durian seed
biocoagulant performance was carried out at a dose 1 g with variations in
coagulation pH (3, 4, 5, 6 and 8). The protein content of the DM biocoagulant was
10.24%. TSS analysis results from various pH variations at a dose of 1 g have not
been able to remove TSS from peat water. The TSS obtained did not meet PP No.
