Abstract

Food safety is still an important issue because some food products are suspected of containing hazardous substances such as borax. Borax is often added to food to improve texture and shelf life, even though it can be harmful to human health. This study aimed to determine the potential use of turmeric extract as a natural indicator for detecting borax in cireng. The research used a literature review method by collecting and analyzing scientific articles related to borax detection using turmeric extract. The results showed that turmeric contains curcumin, a natural compound that reacts with borax and produces a color change from yellow to reddish-brown. This color change indicates the presence of borax in food samples. One cireng sample showed a reddish-brown color change and was identified as positive for borax, while another sample did not show any color change and was identified as negative. Therefore, turmeric extract can be used as a simple and environmentally friendly alternative for borax detection in food products and may increase public awareness regarding food safety.

Abstract

Sleep deprivation is an increasingly common problem due to changes in modern lifestyles and can have negative impacts on health. One of the most significant biological consequences is the increase in oxidative stress, which may lead to DNA damage and impaired cellular function. This study aims to examine the effects of sleep deprivation on DNA damage and cellular health based on findings from various published studies. The method used was a qualitative literature review. Data were collected from national and international scientific articles discussing the relationship between sleep deprivation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cellular health. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify the relationships among these variables. The review findings indicate that sleep deprivation increases the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which triggers oxidative stress and causes DNA damage. Furthermore, sleep deprivation may inhibit DNA repair mechanisms, alter gene regulation, and increase the accumulation of genetic damage within cells. Persistent DNA damage can induce cellular aging, apoptosis, and increase the risk of various chronic diseases. Therefore, adequate sleep quality and duration are essential for maintaining DNA stability and cellular health.
