Abstract

Itchy leaf (Laportea decumana) is one of the plants endemic to Eastern Indonesia. People usually use itchy leaves as an alternative treatment for pain and soreness by rubbing it on the surface of the body. Itchy leaves are very useful because they contain abundant secondary metabolites. The application of itchy leaves by rubbing can certainly affect normal skin flora such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, leading to health problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of methanol extract of itchy leaves on the normal skin flora of S. epidermidis. This test was conducted using the disk diffusion method. The results of this study showed that all concentrations of itchy leaf extract inhibited the growth of S. epidermidis. The highest inhibitory activity was observed at 50% concentration (23.00 ± 7.20), categorized as very strong, followed by 100% concentration (15.00 ± 2.90), 25% (18.00 ± 11.3), 12.5 (13.40 ± 3.51), and 6.25 (10.40 ± 3.10), all categorized as strong. These findings indicate that the prolonged use of itchy leaves may affect the growth of normal flora, resulting in health problems. On the other hand, itchy leaves have the potential to be developed as an antibacterial agent in the future.

Abstract

Organic waste is a major environmental and societal concern. This waste originates from households, agricultural industries, and livestock. Piles of organic waste that are not managed properly will cause water, soil, and air pollution. Banda Lonthoir Village is one of the areas that has not implemented proper processing and utilization of organic waste. This is because Banda Lonthoir Village is the largest producer of nutmeg in Maluku. The nutmeg plants that are utilized are seeds and mace, whereas nutmeg skin is usually made into sweets, and most of it is thrown away as organic waste. One solution for processing organic waste from nutmeg skin is to use eco-enzymes. This activity aims to provide education and training in creating eco-enzymes to the community so that they can increase their knowledge on how to manage nutmeg skin waste. The method of implementing this activity is to provide materials and training processes for making eco-enzymes. The target of this activity is the Nutmeg Garden Agrotourism Farmers Group and the Banda Lonthoir Village apparatus. The results of this activity show that the community is very enthusiastic and participates in listening to the material and making eco-enzymes, as well as asking questions related to the activities provided. The community was able to make eco-enzymes according to the procedure explained and ferment 10 L of eco-enzyme. The community gave a positive response and had an impact on increasing community knowledge regarding how to manage nutmeg skin waste into eco-enzymes that are beneficial for the community and the environment.

Abstract

Red algae Eucheuma cottonii is one of the potential marine biodiversity that provides added value in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields and is known to have antibacterial compounds. Research focusing on the potential of E. cottonii as an antibacterial is still limited, particularly when it comes to the Aru Islands. This study aimed to measure the antibacterial activity of E. cottonii against pathogenic bacteria including E. coli and S. aereus at several concentrations and to determine the best concentration for inhibiting these two pathogenic bacteria. The study was true experimental laboratory research with a post-test-only controlled group design. Antibacterial tests using the disc diffusion method and phytochemical tests were carried out. This study revealed that E. cottonii could be able to inhibit S. aureus ranging from 0.27±0.03 – 2.1±0.14 at a concentration of 50%-100%, and 0.17±0.05 – 0.45 ± 0.03 against E. coli at a concentration of 80-100%. Meanwhile, saponins and flavonoids were two bioactive compounds found through phytochemical testing. The study concluded that the n-hexane extract of E. cottonii was able to inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus, even with a weak inhibition category. This study recommends that improvements are needed in the E. cottonii extraction process to maximize the antibacterial properties of E. cottonii.

Abstract

Bananas are one of the most widely consumed sources of nutrients in Indonesia. Generally, bananas are consumed fresh and processed into various snacks. This leads to an increased demand for bananas in the market. However, the natural ripening process takes 7-8 days after harvest, which is a long time to meet consumer demand. One solution is to use calcium carbide to accelerate fruit ripening. The reason for using calcium carbide is that it is readily available and inexpensive, so banana producers use carbide as a fruit ripening agent. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of calcium carbide on fruit ripening of Ambon bananas. The method used was a laboratory experiment with a post-test-only control group design. There were three treatments with calcium carbide concentrations of 12%, 6%, and 3%, and positive control, namely rapining with rice. Data were analyzed descriptive qualitative by collecting, presenting, reducing, and conclusions. The process of fruit ripening can be observed using the variables of color, texture and aroma. The results obtained were differences in color, texture, and aroma at concentrations of 12%, 6%, and 3% based on the length of aging. Based on the color parameter, the concentration of 6% and 12% showed a blackish yellow/brown color, while the concentration of 3% was yellow with black spots. The texture parameters of the 6% and 12% concentrations had a very soft texture, while the 3% concentration had a smooth texture. The aroma parameters of the 12%, 6%, and 3% concentrations had a rancid aroma on day six, while days one, two, and three were fragrant. The conclusion is that using calcium carbide at different concentrations affects the rate of fruit ripening. The higher the concentration of calcium carbide used, the faster the respiration rate of the bananas, thus initiating the ripening process
