Coconut is an area of tropical plants, often called a multipurpose tree. Almost all parts can be exploited people, started dri roots to the leaves is useful. Utilization of the coconut flesh is generally only used it for copra and coconut oil for domestic use, while other byproducts such as coconut shell has not been so much exploited. Use of coconut shell, a small part as a fuel for household use, smoking copra, and others.
One of the valuable economic products that are made and coconut shell is activated charcoal. Preparation of activated charcoal has not been much to do, but the potential for raw materials, and usage and active charcoal and the potential market is large enough.
Activated charcoal is charcoal that is processed in such a way so as to have the absorption / adsorption height of material in the form of solution or vapor.
Activated charcoal can be made of materials containing carbon and either organic or inorganic, but usually comes on the market and coconut shell, wood, and coal.

PURPOSE ACTIVE CHARCOAL
Currently, activated charcoal has been used widely in the chemical industry, food / beverage and pharmaceutical. In general, activated charcoal is used as an absorbent material, and purifiers. In small quantities are used also as a catalyst.

MAKING PROCESS
Preparation of activated charcoal from coconut shell consists of two stages, namely:
I. The process of making charcoal from coconut shell
II. The process of making activated charcoal from the charcoal

Rendemen activated charcoal from coconut shell about 25% and 6% tar
1. Making charcoal from coconut shell raw materials:
Coconut shell needs 1 ton / day. Coconut shell have an old, hard wood, low water content, so that in the process of composing, maturation will go well and evenly. If a high water content means coconut not old enough, composing process will take longer.
2. The process of manufacture of charcoal activated charcoal activated charcoal making process is done by way of "Distillation dry" that is burning in the absence of oxygen at high temperatures. For this activity required the activation of the prototype furnaces (distillation equipment) which is a lattice where the activated charcoal with a capacity of 250 kg of charcoal. The activation process is performed only by controlling the temperature during a certain time.

Liquid smoke food industry has a very large usability as the taste and aroma of the specific as well as a preservative because antimikrobia and antioxidant properties. With the availability of liquid smoke the traditional curing process by using direct smoke containing many drawbacks such as environmental pollution, the process can not be controlled, inconsistent quality and fire hazards, all of which can be dihindari.2.Industri plantation. The technique applied is based on pyrolysis process, that is heating the coconut shell in a closed sistem with relative low oxygen. Although the coconut shell in the drum doesn touch fire directly, but it becomes hot and releases smoke. Because the drum is closed tightly, the smoke that is inside the drum will flow to the spiral pipe functioning as a condensor. The condensor is flowed water and then the smoke changes to become liquid. The liquid smoke obtained directly from coconut shell pyrolysis still contains tar which is very dangerous for healthy. So it is necessary carried out a distilation process to dissociate tar from liquid smoke. Before distilation, the liquid smoke is kept for two weeks to precipitate the tar that is mixture in the smoke. Based on proton NMR, GCMS and FTIR analysis, the liquid smoke from the coconut shell contains phenol and the others compounds which can be used as a antioxidant in food preservation. Because the liquid smoke is antioxidant and antibacterial, it can be used as a preserver. Antibacterial can resist the defects of food material, during the storage as result of microbe activity that causes the loss of gizi content and aesthetic value and also the forming of dangerous and poisonous compounds. The liquid smoke has been applicated not only for presevating meat such as poultry meat and salmon fish, but also giving taste at sauce, soup, vegetables, flavour and mace.
