Abstract

Mahogany leaf composites mostly consist of cellulose which is easily weathered due to rotting fungi. One way to overcome this is to use anti-weathering chemicals. Chemical potential as a natural anti-weathering and abundant in Indonesia is caryophyllene compounds as a by-product in the eugenol industry which processes it from clove leaf oil. In this work, isolation and antifungal activity of caryophyllene from clove leaf oil on mahogany leaf composites was evaluated. Based on GC-MS analysis of clove leaf oil is known that eugenol and caryophyllene has yielded 42.83% and 23.87%, respectively. Selective extraction by using sodium hydroxide solution (2,5% NaOH, the ratio of oil to solution is 1:5) and fractional distillation under reduced pressure (Distillate fraction, DF P= -76 cmHg, R=5:1) and continued redistilled are needed to isolate of caryophyllene. Redistilled can improve the purity, then distillate collected while the temperature changed with a purity of 99.10%. Meanwhile, mahogany leaf composite has been successfully synthesized from mahogany leaves by using a polyurethane binder and glass fiber as reinforcement. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of caryophyllene was determined. The composite was coated with caryophyllene and evaluated for its antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. Observation using a CCD camera (Charge Couple Device) microscope with a magnification of 50x shows the growth of fungal spores on the composite surface. As a result, A. fumigatus can be inhibited by caryophyllene oil in a 1.2% concentration on mahogany leaf composite

Abstract

The rhizome of Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb) has been traditionally used to treat various ailments due to its rich content of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. These compounds exhibit notable antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of Temulawak rhizome extracts in n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol, focusing on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The extraction process involved successive maceration with each solvent. The antibacterial activity was tested using well diffusion and microdilution methods, determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics, steroids, and triterpenoids in the extracts. The results indicated that the n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions exhibited intense antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, while all fractions showed potent activity against Escherichia coli. The MIC values ranged from 39.0625 to 625 ppm for Staphylococcus aureus and 39.0625 to 78.125 ppm for Escherichia coli, with MBC values generally higher than MIC values. These findings highlight the potential of Temulawak rhizome extracts as effective antibacterial agents.

Abstract

A major health concern for women is breast cancer, which is the most common cause of death in this population and delayed diagnosis is a major contributor to this. This delay often arises from a lack of public understanding about breast cancer and its potential for harm. However, performing regular breast self-exams (BSE) offers a method for early identification. Therefore, this community service aims to socialize the BSE method to The Family Welfare Program (PKK) mothers in Kalisegoro Urban Village. The method used in this socialization process uses direct counseling. This education seeks to increase knowledge and promote the regular use of the BSE method. This community service is descriptive community service and gathering the data through an evaluation questionnaire administered after the activity's completion. A number of respondents in this community service were residents of Kalisegoro Urban Village. These results show that the service team effectively communicated information about the early detection of breast cancer, and the participants responded positively to it.

Abstract

The durian peel is known to possess antioxidant activity due to the presence of flavonoid compounds in it. However, the potential of durian peel as an antioxidant is yet to be fully utilized, necessitating innovative approaches. This research aimed to formulate durian peel extract into antioxidant lozenge tablets. The durian peel was extracted using the reflux method with 96% ethanol as the solvent. The lozenge tablets were prepared in three formulations with varying fillers, Formula 1 with mannitol, Formula 2 with combination of mannitol-lactose, and Formula 3 with lactose. Evaluation of granule quality and physical properties of the lozenge tablets showed that Formula 2, with 50% mannitol and 50% lactose concentration, had exhibited better granule quality and physical properties compared to the other formulations. It had a flow rate of 0,88 seconds, an angle of repose of 19,85°, a compressibility index of 10%, tablet friability of 0,33%, tablet hardness of 11,67 kg, and a disintegration time of 16 minutes. The antioxidant activity of the durian peel extract lozenge tablets was identified using the DPPH method, with vitamin C tablets and imboost lozenge tablets as positive controls. The sample of durian peel extract lozenge tablet demonstrated higher antioxidant activity (IC50 value = 197,25 µg/mL) compared to the imboost lozenge tablet (IC50 value = 268,09 µg/mL). However, the antioxidant activity was still inferior to that of the vitamin C tablet, which had an IC50 value of 86.81 µg/mL.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This underlines the importance of preventive strategies to reduce the risk. Harnessing natural products like tea could be an alternative preventive strategy. In this study, the chemopreventive potential of roselle flower tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) enriched with cinnamon oil (Cinnamomum burmannii) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) was evaluated. The tea was formulated using a stirred boiler tank and tested for its cytotoxicity against T47D cells using the MTT method. The cytotoxicity test showed that with the addition of cinnamon oil and lemongrass, roselle tea had more significant cytotoxic activity against T47D cancer cells than pristine roselle tea. Adding 5 g of cinnamon and lemongrass oil vapor for 15 seconds into the tea showed the highest cytotoxicity, with an IC50 of 730 μg/mL. This value is almost three times higher than without adding cinnamon oil and lemongrass. In conclusion, adding cinnamon oil and lemongrass to the roselle tea formulation can increase cytotoxic activity against T47D cancer cells, indicating its potential as a natural anti-cancer agent.Keywords: Chemopreventive, Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Roselle Tea, T47D Cells.

Abstract

Industrial zones with intensive human activities often experience air-quality degradation, particularly in areas surrounding fertilizer production facilities. This study analyzes the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ammonia (NH₃), and oxidants (Ox) in the ambient air around fertilizer industries in Indonesia and evaluates their potential non-carcinogenic health risks. Air sampling was conducted using an InScienPro US-1012 impinger equipped with selective absorbent solutions. Pollutant concentrations were quantified using UV-Vis spectrophotometry based on the Griess–Saltzman method for NO₂, the pararosaniline method for SO₂, the indophenol method for NH₃, and the neutral buffer potassium iodide method for Ox. Concentrations were compared with national ambient air-quality standards. To strengthen the assessment, a quantitative health-risk evaluation was incorporated using the Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI), allowing for the interpretation of long-term exposure impacts. Results show that most pollutant concentrations were below regulatory limits; however, SO₂ levels at one sampling point and NH₃ levels near the production zone were elevated. The HQ–HI analysis revealed that SO₂ at the office-area sampling point (HQ = 0.794) and NH₃ inside the processing plant (HQ = 2.238) were the dominant contributors to cumulative exposure, with HI values exceeding 1 at both locations. These findings indicate potential non-carcinogenic risks for individuals chronically exposed in areas closest to emission sources. Overall, this study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and risk-based evaluation to identify localised hotspots, inform mitigation strategies, and enhance emission control practices in fertiliser-industrial environments.

Abstract

The Dasawisma (Dawis) “Tulip” Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) Group of RT 13 RW 05 Sukorejo Village need a featured product that can be developed into a pioneering Micro Small Medium Enterprise (MSME/ UMKM). Ecoprint has the potential to be a featured product because the materials are available around the Dawis environment, such as Yellow trumpet tree (tabebuya), Jamaica cherry (kersen), Mahogany, Tropical almond (ketapang), and Cosmos (kenikir). The leaves and bark of these plants can be used as ecoprint materials and natural dyes. On this basis, two solutions are offered: 1) increasing the knowledge of the Dawis members in developing eco-friendly ecoprint, 2) increasing the skills of the Dawis members in making ecoprint as a pioneer to create a business unit. These can be achieved through the introduction of eco-friendly ecoprint, increasing the capacity of skills through training and mentoring, as well as monitoring and evaluation of ecoprint products as a pioneering business unit. The results of community service show that: 1) increased knowledge of Dasawisma group members about ecoprint, 2) an increase in ecoprint-making skills of Dasawisma Tulip members, 3) produced hijab, pashmina, and clutch products. The outputs achieved are 1) news in electronic mass media, 2) copyright on ecoprint making procedures, 3) publication of activity videos, and 5) journal publications that are in the process of being submitted. This community service activity is in line with SDGs 4 (Quality Education) and SDGs 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).
