Identification of eco enzyme characteristics from organic waste

Abstract

Eco enzyme is a form of creative and environmentally friendly organic waste management efforts. This study aims to analyze and compare the characteristics of eco enzymes made from organic waste with variations of palm sugar and coconut sugar. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with an experimental approach and qualitative methods in the form of research development research. This study consists of two types of samples, namely palm sugar and coconut sugar with three times the repetition of each type of sample and fermented for 3 months. The results showed that eco enzyme made from organic waste with a variation of coconut sugar produced a higher content of acetic acid, phosphorus, calcium, lipase enzyme activity and protease enzyme activity and the final volume of the solution, while eco enzyme made from organic waste with palm sugar variations resulting in amylase enzyme activity, higher pH and chlorine. Based on the results, the characteristics obtained from coconut sugar, eco enzyme solution is recommended for use in agriculture as an organic fertilizer, while eco enzyme from coconut sugar is recommended as a disinfectant and natural detergent.
