Abstract

Hotong flour (Setaria italica) can be used as a functional food as therapy in the treatment of diabetes mellitus by reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. Hotong is a rice-like food crop that is usually consumed by the people of Buru Island. Hotong seeds have quite high nutritional content, namely containing 11.18% protein, 2.36% fat, 73.36% carbohydrates, 11.78% water, and 1.32% ash. The energy produced per 100 grams of hotong seeds is 359 calories. Hotong plants can be used as an alternative commodity in a carbohydrate-producing food diversification program. This study aims to determine the potential dose of hotong flour in treating diabetes mellitus by reducing cholesterol levels in the blood of rat. This research used 24 wistar rats animals which were divided into 6 groups which were given hotong flour for 21 days and the cholesterol levels were evaluated on the 7th, 14th, and 21st day. Determination of rat blood cholesterol levels using the enzymatic method. Hotong flour can reduce blood sugar levels at doses of 1 g/kg bw and 1.5 g/kg bw in rat that have been made diabetic by examination on days 7, 14 and 21 days.

Abstract

Isolation of protoplasts in several plant species still requires optimization to produce protoplasts that are viable and can be used for further analysis. This research aims to optimize protoplast isolation protocols in several plants: Orchid Dendrobium macrocarpus, potato Solanum tuberosum, and microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Botryococcus braunii, and Spirulina sp. The results showed that in vitro explant selection had higher sample uniformity, and a combination of enzyme solutions could be used to increase the effectiveness of protoplast isolation on D. macrocarpus, S. tuberosum, and Spirulina sp. This study provides information about protoplast isolation techniques and testing their viability as an attempt for plant breeding through micropropagation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look at the types and density of mosquitoes in the Taniwel district. Research time is August 2021. This research is descriptive in nature. where only see the type and density using the existing formula. In this study, Mansonia and Anopheles mosquitoes were found. The results showed that mosquitoes found in East Taniwel sub-district, Sohuwe Village, Lumahlatal, and Maloang found 2 genera of mosquitoes namely Mansonia and Anopheles with mansonia density in Sohuwe village 3.29%, Lumahlatan 2.83% and Maloang 2.66. while the density of Anopheles in Sohuwe village was 3.62%, Lumahlatan 3.45% and Maloang 2.66%.

Abstract

The heavy metal chromium (Cr) is one of the heavy metals which is toxic and h armful if it accumulates in the body of organisms at high concentrations. Heavy metals can accumulate through the food chain, namely the higher the level of the food chain occupied by an organism, the accumulation of heavy metals in the body also increases. The aim of the research was to determine the liver contamination of mullet exposed to chromanum metal. The method used in this study was the purposive sampling method. Sediment and mullet at the Basic Kimia FKIP Laboratory while to measure the content of heavy metal Cr in sediment and mullet at the Karpan Health Laboratory, Ambon 11 Desember 2022 - 18 Januari 2023 using the AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). The Cr content in the sediment and mullet obtained at the estuary of the Wai Ruhu Galala river, Ambon City is still below a predetermined threshold. The research results obtained from the content of heavy metal cr in the sediment which is equal to 9,2888 Ppb while in mullet it is equal to 5,8185 Ppb. The presence of heavy metal cr is caused by contaminants which may originate from community activities around this location in the form of housedold waste coated with cr metal discharged directly into the water body such as household appliaces coated with cr metal and cans paint.

Abstract

Spectrophotometry is a quantitative measurement technique of a compound based on the measurement of absorbance or light transmission passing through the compound. The spectrophotometric method can be used to analyze the content of compounds. One of the enzymes whose activity can be measured in vivo is the nitrate reductase enzyme. The nitrate reductase enzyme is an enzyme that plays a role in the synthesis of ammonium and amino acids. The results of measuring the activity of the nitrite reductase enzyme with spectrophotometry showed that the highest NRA value was found in the leaves of red chili plants and the lowest was in the sugarcane leaf sample. NRA can be used as a selection parameter to predict the results of a plant, and has the potential to be applied to seed plants.
