1. Introduction

Household organic waste is still a problem that has not been resolved properly. The situation of waste that is increasingly abundant and piling up results in pollution of the surrounding environment (Hasibuan, 2016HASIBUAN, R., 2016. Analysis of the impact of household waste on environmental pollution. Jurnal Ilmiah Advokasi, vol. 4, no. 1, pp. 42-52. https://doi.org/10.36987/jiad.v4i1.354.; Yulistia and Chimayati, 2021 YULISTIA, E. and CHIMAYATI, R.L., 2021. Utilization of organic waste into ecoenzymes. UNBARA Environmental Engineering Journal, vol. 2, no. 1, pp. 1-6.). Therefore, household organic waste must be reprocessed into versatile products such as eco-enzymes so as not to pollute the environment. One household organic waste that can be utilized as an eco-enzyme is fruit peels, pineapple peels, papaya peels, and a mixture of vegetable scraps (Rusdianasari et al, 2021RUSDIANASARI, R., SYAKDANI, A., ZAMAN, M., SARI, F.F., NASYTA, N.P. and AMALIA, R., 2021. Utilization of eco-enzymes from fruit skin waste as hand sanitizer.

).

Eco enzyme is a multifunctional liquid that has several advantages, including the fermentation process does not require a large area or tub with certain specifications. In addition, the manufacture of eco enzyme strongly supports the concept of reuse (recycling) because it can utilize containers that are no longer used as fermentation containers such as bottles used for mineral water or other products (Benny et al., 2023BENNY, N., SHAMS, R., DASH, K.K., PANDEY, V.K. and BASHIR, O., 2023. Recent trends in utilization of citrus fruits in production of eco-enzyme. Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, vol. 13, pp. 100657. http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jafr.2023.100657.

; Wiryono et al., 2020 WIRYONO, B., SUGIARTA, MULIATININGSIH, VAMA, L. and CHEREKAR, M.N., 2020. Production, extraction and uses of eco-enzyme using citrus fruit waste: wealth from waste. Asian Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology & Environmental Sciences : AJMBES, vol. 22, no. 2, pp. 346-351.). The manufacture and use of eco enzymes is preferred by the community because it is easier and cheaper (Hasanah, 2020 HASANAH, Y., 2020. Eco enzyme and its benefits for organic rice production and disinfectant. Journal of Saintech Transfer, vol. 3, no. 2, pp. 119-128. http://doi.org/10.32734/jst.v3i2.4519.
http://doi.org/10.32734/jst.v3i2.4519...
).

Ecoenzyme is a dark brown solution of complex organic substances with a strong fresh sour aroma, produced by fermenting vegetable and fruit scraps with sugar and water added (Wiryono et al., 2020 WIRYONO, B., SUGIARTA, MULIATININGSIH, VAMA, L. and CHEREKAR, M.N., 2020. Production, extraction and uses of eco-enzyme using citrus fruit waste: wealth from waste. Asian Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology & Environmental Sciences : AJMBES, vol. 22, no. 2, pp. 346-351.). The solution of eco-enzyme is formed after fermentation for three months (Hemalatha and Visantini, 2020HEMALATHA, M. and VISANTINI, P., 2020. Potential use of eco-enzyme for the treatment of metal based effluent. IOP Conf. Ser.: Mater. Sci. Eng, vol. 716, pp. 012016. http://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/716/1/012016.
http://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/716/1/0...
). Ecoenzyme products that are not traded as a form of dedication by Dr. Rosukon Poompanvong (Researcher and environmentalist from the Organic Farming Association of Thailand) are expected to be a joint effort to overcome environmental problems (Surtikanti et al., 2021SURTIKANTI, H.K., DIAH, K., YAYAN, S., KUSDIANTI DIDIK, P., TRY, K., KARTIKA and ELIYA, M.S., 2021. Socializing ekoenzymes made from organic waste to increase awareness in protecting the environment. Journal of Community Service, 2021, vol. 3, no. 3, pp. 110-118.).

This eco-enzyme liquid ha ing being able to act as an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and insecticidal agent and can be used as a cleaning or disinfecting agent and even heal wounds (Hasanah, 2020 HASANAH, Y., 2020. Eco enzyme and its benefits for organic rice production and disinfectant. Journal of Saintech Transfer, vol. 3, no. 2, pp. 119-128. http://doi.org/10.32734/jst.v3i2.4519.
http://doi.org/10.32734/jst.v3i2.4519...
. Eco enzymes can also be used for various applications such as plant fertilizer, can also reduce the concentration of pollutants in wastewater and as a conservation of the surrounding environment because eco enzyme can neutralize various pollutants that pollute the environment (Fadlilla et al., 2023FADLILLA, T., BUDIASTUTI, M.S. and ROSARIASTUTI, M.R., 2023.

the final result of eco enzyme formed in the form of vegetable or fruit residues that can be used as compost, while for liquid eco enzyme can be used in various fields.

Orange peels contain several compounds that can be utilized further, such as the essential oil content in them. Orange peels contain a variety of substances, the most dominant of which are essential oils and pectin). Sweet orange peel contains essential oil. The content of essential oil in orange peel is 2.49%. Chemically, orange peel contains essential substances consisting of components such as terpenes, sesquiterpenes, aldehydes, esters, and sterols (Mohsin et al., 2022MOHSIN, A., HUSSAIN, M.H., ZAMAN, W.Q., MOHSIN, M.Z., ZHANG, J., LIU, Z., TIAN, X., SALIM-UR-REHMAN., KHAN, I.M., NIAZI, S., ZHUANG, Y. and GUO, M., 2022.

http://doi.org/10.1080/07388551.2021.200...
). Pineapple peel has active substances including anthocyanins, vitamin C, and flavonoids. In addition, there are bromelain enzymes and tannins (Rivera et al., 2023RIVERA, A.M.P., TORO, C.R., LONDOÑO, L., BOLIVAR, G., ASCACIO, J.A. and AGUILAR, C.N., 2023.

http://doi.org/10.1007/s11694-022-01627-...
) Pineapple peel positively contains tannins, saponins, steroids, flavonoids, phenols, and other compounds. Contains a total antioxidant of 38.95 mg/100 g with bioactive components in the form of vitamin C of 24.40 mg/100 g, beta carotene of 59.98 ppm, flavonoids 3.47%, quercetin 1.48%, phenols 32.69 ppm, and saponins 5.29% (Sofia 2020.

http://doi.org/10.18280/ijdne.190334...
identified the active compounds contained in eco-enzymes derived from vegetable sources by using high liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique for chemical composition analysis and isolated compounds that have high potential biological activity. Eco-enzymes produced from vegetable and fruit peels sources for bioremediation applications were tested by characterizing the chemical composition of eco-enzymes and evaluating their effectiveness in cleaning up environmental pollution, such as industrial effluents and soil pollution (Istanti and Utami, 2022ISTANTI, A. and UTAMI, S., 2022. Utilization of Household Waste into Eco-Enzyme in Gitik Village, Rogojampi District, Banyuwangi. Warta Pengabdian, vol. 16, no. 1, pp. 30-43. http://doi.org/10.19184/wrtp.v16i1.27328.
http://doi.org/10.19184/wrtp.v16i1.27328...
). According to (Liew et al., 2018LIEW, S.S., HO, W.Y., YEAP, S.K. and SHARIFUDIN, S.A.B., 2018. Phytochemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activities of Citrus sinensis peel extracts. PeerJ, vol. 6, pp. e5331. http://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.5331. PMid:30083463.
http://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.5331...
), the quantitative analysis by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) proved that the fruit peels of C. sinensis contains six flavonoid compounds, including catechin, epigalocatechin, vit, rutin, luteolin and apigenin.

These properties of eco-enzyme reveal the chemical compounds it contains. According to research by Rusdianasari. in 2021, the sour aroma detected in the eco-enzyme liquid comes from flavonoid compounds that offer antibacterial benefits. Similarly, another study conducted by Salsabila and Winarish (2023)SALSABILA, R.K. and WINARSIH, 2023. Effectiveness of fruit peel ecoenzyme as liquid organic fertilizer on the growth of pakcoy mustard plants (Brassica rapa L.). LenteraBio, vol. 12, no. 1, pp. 50-59. http://doi.org/10.26740/lenterabio.v12n1.p50-59.
http://doi.org/10.26740/lenterabio.v12n1...
explained that the variation in the pH level of the eco-enzyme liquid was due to acetic acid compounds. Extensive research on the characteristics of eco-enzymes has been conducted, evidenced by studies such as Ismail,s research in 2024 that utilized vegetable and fruit waste materials, as well as Esparza et al (2020)ESPARZA, I., JIMÉNEZ-MORENO, N., BIMBELA, F., ANCÍN-AZPILICUETA, C. and GANDÍA, L.M., 2020. Fruit and vegetable waste management: conventional and emerging approaches. Journal of Environmental Management, vol. 265, pp. 110510. http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110510 PMid:32275240.
http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.11...
research in 2020 that examined eight different combinations of vegetable and fruit waste, with a focus on organoleptic tests or eco-enzyme characteristics. In contrast, this study explores the content of eco-enzyme chemical compounds derived from fruit raw materials.

Based on the reality in the field that the use of organic waste such as fruit waste has not been utilized properly. Therefore, initial research is needed to characterize the content of chemical compounds contained in eco enzymes originating from fruit peels and waste. Especially fruit that is often found in traditional markets such as bananas, oranges and pineapples. So that with knowledge regarding the characterization of chemical compounds originating from banana, orange and pineapple peels, they can be used more efficiently in the future.

) found that incorporating a high amount of orange peel into the overall organic waste used for eco-enzyme production could lead to a greater production of a specific biocidal flavonoid known as hesperidin. This compound exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, cell aggregation inhibition, and UV protecting properties. After the fermentation process, the natural antibacterial characteristics of fruit peels become more potent due to the breakdown of organic substances, resulting in the creation of bioactive compounds or phytochemicals, also known as secondary metabolites (Sadh et al., 2018SADH, P.K., KUMAR, S., CHAWLA, P. and DUHAN, J.S., 2018. Fermentation: a boon for production of bioactive compounds by processing of food industries wastes (by-products).

http://doi.org/10.3390/molecules23102560...
).

4. Conclusion

From the raw materials for making eco-enzymes from fruit peels bananas, pineapples, and oranges, there are differences in the concentration of organic chemical compounds contained in each fermentation sample. The highest lactic acid compound was identified in orange peel fermentation, the highest citric acid compound was identified in banana peel fermentation, and the highest acetic acid was identified in pineapple peel fermentation.
