Abstract

Indonesia's increasing number of tofu industries has led to a rise in waste volume from this sector, requiring exceptional management. Tofu wastewater, a byproduct of tofu production that is no longer utilized, contains a high concentration of organic matter and can adversely affect water supplies if discharged untreated. This study aims to investigate an efficient filtration technique using filtration media for processing tofu wastewater. The biofilter column used in this study was made from a Le Minerale gallon and comprised layers of zeolite, bio balls, bearings, and activated charcoal to filter and purify the water from organic substances. The results showed that while filtration effectively reduced Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from 995 ppm to 129 ppm after the fourth filtration, it was ineffective in neutralizing the pH of the tofu wastewater, which remained at pH 4 before and after filtration. This indicates that the wastewater remains acidic and cannot be directly discharged into the environment. Additionally, conductivity and salt levels increased after multiple filtrations, possibly due to ion release from the filter materials or saturation effects. This study reveals that the column configuration and filtration materials used were ineffective in removing acidic components from tofu wastewater. Therefore, design adjustments and filtration media selection are needed to achieve better results in treating tofu wastewater.

Abstract

Biotechnology learning at the secondary school level is often dominated by theoretical approaches, potentially limiting students' understanding of real-life scientific applications. This community service activity aimed to implement the Tri Dharma of Higher Education through socialization and training on kombucha tea making at SMA Negeri 1 Giri, Banyuwangi. The primary objective of this program was to strengthen students' applied biotechnology literacy and foster an entrepreneurial spirit by introducing the business potential of fermented products. The implementation method employed a participatory approach involving 53 students as active participants on March 18, 2025. The activity stages included interactive material delivery regarding SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) microbiology and the health benefits of kombucha, followed by practical demonstrations covering the process from starter inoculation to fermentation. In addition to technical aspects, this activity specifically incorporated training on simple economic analysis, including calculations for raw material costs, production expenses, and the determination of competitive selling prices for a home-industry scale. The results indicated high participant enthusiasm, evidenced by active participation in discussion and quiz sessions. Students successfully gained a deep understanding of the biochemical reactions occurring during fermentation and the potential of kombucha as a functional beverage. Furthermore, the provided business insights transformed students' perspectives, highlighting the high economic value of biotechnology products. It is concluded that the integration of practical training and business insights effectively enhances students' scientific competence while supporting the implementation of the entrepreneurship theme within the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Indonesia has been recognized for its rich natural ingredients such as spices,herbs, and extracts for decades. Furthermore, these components also have been used as an herbal medicine for a long time. Meanwhile, the apparent capability comparison of several components of antimicrobial activity has not been updated yet. This study was conducting the comparison of antimicrobial activity for several materials such as noni (Morinda citrifolia), garlic (Allium sativum), celery (Apium graveolens), galangal (Alpinia galangal), ginger (Zingiber officinale), yellow turmeric (Curcuma longa), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), papaya (Carica papaya) leaf, betel (Piper betel) leaf, and cutcherry (Kaempferia galangal) using agar dilution method. Two types of bacteria are used for the test, namely gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria, with a total of seven bacteria. The media used were TSA (Trypticase Soy Agar) media for gram-negative bacteria and MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) media for gram-positive bacteria. This study had been conducted by using a fast screening method, which is referred to as a semi-qualitative method. Several components, such as noni, lime, and betel leaf, showed a significant result of antimicrobial activity. Otherwise, other compounds, surprisingly, could not suppress bacterial growth.

Abstract

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) has been studied for ferulic acid derivatives to determine the QSAR model able to predict anticancers. The subject of this research was a set of experimentally calculated IC50 value data of 6 ferulic acid derivatives against cervical cancer cells (HELA). QSAR analysis was based on multilinear regression calculation on fitting subset using log (1/IC50) as the dependent variable, and dipole moment, partition coefficient in the n-octanol/water, and atomic net charges of the aromatic carbons as independent variables. The values of the descriptors were obtained from semi-empirical PM3 quantum mechanics calculation. The relationship between log (1/IC50) and the descriptors was described by the result in the QSAR model. The QSAR model for ferulic acid derivatives against HELA cell lines was developed with the statistical parameters of R=0.998; R2=0.999; SE=0.00857;  and F=394. The calculated log (1/IC50) using the QSAR Hansch Model for ferulic acid derivatives has excellent agreement with the experimental data of Log (1/IC50).

Abstract

Chayote (Sechium edule) is a plant from the Cucurbitaceae family that contains several vitamins, such as A, B, and C, and is often used for medicinal purposes. Based on phytochemical analysis, chayote extract contains bioactive compounds like phenolics. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites used as cosmetic and medicinal ingredients due to their ability to reduce oxidative stress. This research uses UV-Vis spectrophotometry to determine the chayote extract's total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Chayote extract was obtained using the Ultrasonic Assisted-Extraction (UAE) method with 96% ethanol solvent. The extraction variables used were time (15, 20, and 25 minutes), amplitude (45, 65, and 85%), and solvent ratio (1:5, 1:10, and 1:15). The determination of total phenolic content was based on the Folin-Ciocalteau method. At the same time, antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH. Determining chayote extraction parameters for total phenolic content using the Response Surface Methodology with a Box-Behnken type. The optimal conditions for chayote extraction were 1.327 mg GAE/g sample for total phenolic content and 29.45% for antioxidant activity under 20 minutes of extraction time, 65% amplitude, and a 1:10 solvent ratio.

Abstract

Turmeric leaves (Curcuma longa L.) contain phytochemical compounds that can be utilized as natural food preservatives or bioformalin due to their antibacterial properties. The extraction method used in this study is Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), to determine the effect of variable sample-solvent ratio, time, and particle size on total flavonoid, tannin, and alkaloid compounds, as well as to determine the optimal shelf life of fresh tuna. This study used sample-solvent ratio variables of 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20; time variables of 10, 20, and 30 minutes; and particle size variables of 60, 80, and 100 mesh. The highest total flavonoid compound was obtained in the variable sample-solvent ratio of 1:20, the particle size of 100 mesh, and the time of 20 minutes at 98.076 mg/L. The highest total tannin compound was obtained in the variable sample-solvent ratio of 1:15, the particle size of 60 mesh, and the time of 10 minutes at 41.697 mg/L. The highest total alkaloid compound was obtained in the variable sample-solvent ratio of 1:10, the particle size of 100 mesh, and the time of 20 minutes at 10.092 mg/L. The optimum curing time for tuna is 36 hours at room temperature with variable sample-solvent ratio, time, and particle size of 1:20 g/mL, 20 minutes, and 100 mesh with 20% concentration. The running has the highest flavonoid compounds, so it can be concluded that flavonoid compounds have a major effect on the preservation process of tuna.
