Abstract

Microalgae-based researches are one of the interesting topics to date due to its wide applications for commercial industries. One of the vital issues that remain in the production of large-scale microalgae is the harvesting process of microalgae culture. There are several techniques that can be used in harvesting microalgae and each algae will be showing a different result. In this research, the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis were harvested using flocculation-filtration method. Alum in different dosages, range from 0.25-2 g/L, was used as flocculants and the mixing duration was investigated to seek out the best harvesting efficiency. Based on the research, it can be concluded that the optimum flocculation process was alum addition of 1 g/L culture that continuously stirring for 5 minutes long. In which the flocculation efficiency reaches 94.5%.

Abstract

Histamine poisoning is a significant food safety concern associated with fish and fishery products. Enterobacter aerogenes is one of the histamine-producing bacteria capable of converting L-histidine into histamine through the histidine decarboxylase (HDC) enzyme. The accumulation of histamine in fish and fishery products can lead to allergic reactions and foodborne illnesses, highlighting the need for rapid detection methods. This study aimed to design and optimize primers targeting the HDC gene in E. aerogenes and validate their specificity using in silico PCR. The HDC gene sequence was retrieved from the NCBI GenBank database, and primers were designed using Primer3Plus software. The in silico PCR analysis was performed to assess the specificity of the primers against the genome of E. aerogenes and other histamine-producing bacteria species. The optimized Primer Pair 1 successfully amplified a 230 bp target region, showing high specificity for E. aerogenes in product size and annealing position with no cross-reactivity to other histamine-producing bacteria species. These findings demonstrate the potential of in silico PCR as a rapid and cost-effective screening tool for detecting histamine-producing bacteria in fish and fishery products. However, further in vitro validation is required to confirm the applicability of these primers in real-world food safety and allergy risk assessments.

Abstract

Propolis is a natural resin produced by bees and has various health benefits that have been extensively studied. The extraction of propolis from Trigona honey pass residues generally uses organic solvent. Propolis can be extracted using water as a solvent with certain treatments. The study aims to obtain an optimal propolis extraction using a water solvent which is known to be safe and cheap. The optimization process of water extraction was combined with various extraction methods such as cold maceration, hot maceration (temperature 60°C), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), compared to organic solvent controls and commercial propolis. The parameters observed from the obtained extracts are pH, phytochemical screening (alkaloids, phenolics, saponins, steroids, and flavonoids), color, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial activity. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance with the level of significance set at 5%. The results showed that the water extraction with MAE produced propolis extract with the highest antioxidant content and performed bacterial growth inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

Shrimp paste is a fermented shrimp product that is at risk of being contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms, thus potentially causing foodborne diseases. The method for detecting pathogenic microorganisms that has proven to have high specificity and sensitivity in directly detecting the presence of pathogenic bacteria in food samples is the DNA detection method using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This research aims to detect the presence of pathogenic bacteria, specifically Salmonella typhi, in shrimp paste products produced by several Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in East Lombok Regency using the PCR method. The research samples used were solid block dried shrimp paste from three SMEs in East Lombok Regency. The research results show that the DNA of Salmonella typhi bacteria was not detected in all tested samples. These results indicate that the shrimp paste from the three SMEs in East Lombok has met one of the microbiological quality requirements for shrimp paste based on SNI 2716:2016, which is the absence of Salmonella contamination.
