Abstract

Dates seeds are one of the byproducts of the date palm juice industry which has the potential for further processing. Dates seeds contain active compounds that are known to have ability to inhibit αglucosidase. This study aims to measure the activity of 70% ethanol extract and the fraction of date palm seeds with a mechanism in inhibiting αglucosidase. The measurement of inhibitory activity was carried out by extracting date palm seeds using 70% water and ethanol. The extraction product is then fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. Then the total phenolic and flavonoid calculations were calculated for each extract and fraction. Measurement of α-glucosidase inhibition activity was measured based on reaction of substrate to enzyme by the addition of inhibitors. The results showed that the ethanolextract had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid, which were 76.86 mg GAE / g and 21.19 mg QE / g, respectively. n-hexane fraction have the best inhibitory activity seen from the IC50 value, which is 12.69 mg/L. The kinetics of inhibition of 70% ethanol extract of date palm seeds are mixed inhibition. Keywords: α-glucosidase, date seeds, flavonoids, kinetic inhibition, phenolics

Abstract

Banana (Musaceaea) is one of the highest production fruits in Indonesia, which amounted to 7,162,685 tons in 2017. Banana peel waste produced can reach 40% of the total production of fresh bananas. Kepok banana peel contains a lot of nutrients and pectin. Pectin levels in banana peel ranged from 1.92% to 3.25% of dry weight. This study aims to characterize pectin from kepok banana peel (Musa balbisiana) extracted using nitric acid, citric acid, and HCl and screening potential of pectin bioactivity based on LC50 values. The highest pectin yield was obtained from extraction using pH 4 citrate buffer which was 3.68 ± 1.23%. In general, the characteristics of the best pectin from kepok banana peel are pectin extracted with HNO3 pH 4 with methoxyl degree 3.74 ± 0.34%, galacturonate content 87.64 ± 8.36%, and esterification degree 24.24 ± 0.098%. Based on the LC50 value the pectin extraction results can be classified into two, namely commercial pectin and pectin HCl pH 1.5 which is low bioactivity (LC50 > 100 ppm), and pH 4 HNO3 pectin and pH 4 citrate buffer pectin which has high bioactivity (LC50 ≤ 30 ppm). Keywords: Cytotoxicity, galakturonat, kepok banana pectin, methoxyl

Abstract

The formation of prostaglandins and free radicals in the body occurs in response to inflammation. The use of non-steroidal synthetic drugs to overcome the effects of free radicals often causes harmful side effects to the body. Natural ingredients that have high antioxidant potential, such as curcumin, ginger are expected to overcome this problem. This study aims to measure the antioxidant potential of ginger nanocurcuminoid preparations coated with palmitic acid, by observing the lipid peroxide profile in the liver of inflammatory Spague-Dawley rats. SpagueDawley mice were induced with 1% carrageenan to trigger inflammation, then the lipid peroxide levels were measured after 24 hours. Measurement of lipid peroxide levels was carried out using a spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 532 nm. The size of the nanocurcuminoid preparation coated with palmitic acid was 561.53 nm with an IP value of 0.309. Lipid peroxide levels in the curcuminoid extract group at a dose of 100 mg / kg BW and the nanocurcuminoid group at a dose of 250 mg / kg BW were 0.27x10-4 nmol / g and 1.22 x10-4 nmol / g respectively. These showed that the antioxidant potential of temulawak nanocurcuminoids at a dose of 250 mg / kg BW was 114 times higher than that of curcuminoid extract at a dose of 100 mg / kg BW.

Abstract

Glucose oxidase (GOX) is naturally produced by fungi Aspergillus niger. The GOX enzyme catalyzes the oxidation reaction of β-D-glucose to produce δ-gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide a (H2O2). Hydrolysis of δ-gluconolactone will produce gluconic acid. Gluconic acid and its derivatives have benefits in the pharmaceutical field as a drug for mineral deficiencies. A. niger IPBCC 08.610 is a local isolate that produce intracellular GOX with higher yield than extracellularly. GOX can be expressed extracellularly by cloning into the expression vector pPICZαB which has the signal peptide α-mating factor (α-MF). GOX gene construction needs to be done by adding some features such as XhoI restriction sites at the 5' and 3' ends, XbaI restriction site at 3’ side, and spacer peptide glu-ala-glu-ala at 5’ side. This research aims to optimize Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) conditions in two stages of amplification, stage I to copy the GOX gene and stage II to add those features so it is hoped that recombinant GOX can increase gluconic acid production. The results of primer concentration optimization showed that primers with a concentration of 10 µM produced clearer PCR amplicons than those with a concentration of 20 µM. The optimal temperature for amplification stage I is 58°C. The amplification stage II annealing temperature was modified with the first ten cycles based on the lowest Tm of primer value, 52°C, and the subsequent 25 cycles based on the highest Tm of primer value, 61°C.
