Abstract

Bacteria are difficult to see with a light microscope, because they do not absorb or refract light. Dyes absorb and refract light so that the contrast of bacteria with their surroundings is enhanced. Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that are naturally found in various types of plants. As the name implies, this pigment gives color to flowers, fruits, and leaves of green plants.This research is a type of descriptive research. The treatment consisted of painting bacterial preparations with anthocyanin pigment extract of senggani fruit with 70% ethanol solvent and control with gram staining. The treatments were: T1: staining of bacterial preparations with gram staining, T2: painting of bacterial preparations with anthocyanin extract of senggani fruit added with 14% citric acid as a substitute for safranin and NH4Cl as a substitute for crystal violet. The results of the study showed that anthocyanin pigment extract was proven to be used as a dye for Staphylococcus aureus, Escereria coli as a substitute for synthetic dyes Safranin and Crystal violet in Gram staining.

Abstract

The red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) contains a pigment called anthocyanin, which gives it its red color and has the potential to be used as a natural dye. In laboratory microscopic preparations, eosin is used as a standard dye. Natural dyes have the advantage of not causing negative effects like cancer or environmental damage. This study aimed to examine the potential of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) as an alternative dye for the examination of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs. The study design used was static group comparison, with local red dragon fruit samples from Pontianak Tenggara District. Laboratory examination methods involved direct microscopic observation using a 2% eosin control. In this study, the juice from both the skin and flesh of the red dragon fruit was extracted and prepared in solutions of 80%, 90%, and 100% concentrations with four replications. The results showed that the skin of the red dragon fruit at concentrations of 80%, 90%, and 100% was not suitable for coloring the microscopic preparation for observing worm eggs. However, the juice from the flesh of the red dragon fruit at concentrations of 80%, 90%, and 100% could color the microscopic preparations, and the Ascaris lumbricoides eggs could be identified. At the 80% concentration of red dragon fruit flesh, the average score was 2, indicating low contrast background, weak color absorption by the eggs, and unclear egg details. At 90% and 100% concentrations, the average score was 3, indicating a clear contrast background, good color absorption by the eggs, and clear egg detail, similar to eosin 2% staining. This study concludes that the skin of red dragon fruit cannot be used for staining microscopic preparations, while the flesh of red dragon fruit can be used for staining Ascaris lumbricoides eggs, with optimal concentrations of 90% and 100%.

Abstract

Antioxidants play a crucial role in preventing oxidative damage, necessitating reliable analytical techniques for their evaluation. Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body, has been associated with various chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. Therefore, accurately assessing antioxidant activity is essential for developing health-related products and validating their efficacy. This study reviewed and compared various analytical methods used to determine antioxidant activity, emphasizing their advantages, limitations, and applicability across different sample types. Traditional spectrophotometric assays, such as the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, remain widely used because of their simplicity and cost-effectiveness, although they often suffer from matrix interferences. Advanced techniques, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with DPPH (HPLCDPPH), electrochemical methods, microfluidic systems, and miniaturized paper-based assays, provide improved sensitivity, accuracy, and efficiency. These methods enable a more comprehensive assessment of antioxidant activity by offering deeper insights into reaction mechanisms and compound interactions. The integration of multiple analytical approaches can further enhance antioxidant characterization, supporting applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. This review highlights the importance of selecting appropriate analytical techniques based on research objectives and sample characteristics, while also outlining future directions for advancing antioxidant detection methodologies.
