Activated carbon is one of the basic needs in food processing. Activated carbon can be improved from rock, wood and bone processing. This study aims to determine the quality of activated carbon pyrolysis processing from various woods using high temperatures ranging from 500-750 °C. The wood to be made into activated carbon is teak, mango, and jackfruit. Where teak, mango, and jackfruit are the types of wood used for fuel in industrial tofu boilers. The results of this combustion usually only become waste as charcoal boiler waste. The results of combustion contain carbon which can be used as this activated carbon. The quality of activated carbon is seen from the quality test based on SII and SNI. The results of the tests carried out that the best quality activated carbon is activated carbon which is activated by using heat at a temperature of 750 °C with a water test value of 1.01%, evaporator 15.12%, 2.3 ash, carbon-bound 82, 5%, iodine uptake rate 314.15 mg/gram, crystalline rate 40.886% with XRD analysis, pore diameter 8,72 μm, and chemical composition (% b) 95.94% C, 0.33% SO 3 , 2.06 % chloride, 0.49% K 2 O, 0.79% Calcium oxide, and 0.38% Cuprum oxide using SEM-EDX.
