Abstract

Red guava fruit is one type of fruit that quickly changes colour, texture and spoilage. This is of course a problem for farmers. At harvest time, not all of the fruit is marketable. So sometimes farmers just leave the fruit on the tree, because if harvested it will only increase operational costs. The KWT Jambu Biji Bengke Sakato, VII Koto Sungai Sariak, Pariaman is a group of red guava farmers. They tried to find a solution to this problem by discussing with TIM PPM KIMIA UNAND of the Department of Chemistry, FMIPA, Universitas Andalas. Finally it was agreed that the solution was to make products from red guava. The products made in this program are dodol and red guava ice cream. The KWT members and the Tim PPM KIMIA UNAND together made these two types of products. The results obtained, dodol and ice cream made are quite delicious and have an attractive appearance. This product can be an alternative to red guava processing that has economic value.

Abstract

Triazole-derived compounds are known to exhibit a variety of favourable biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. Research on the potential of these compounds as antioxidant compounds was carried out theoretically through analysis of global reactivity parameters and measurement of antioxidant activity. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method was used to study the molecular structure, global reactivity parameters, and hydrogen-atom release mechanism by calculating BDE, IP, PDE, PA, and ETE values. Antioxidant activity was expressed as the Inhibition Concentration 50% (IC50) values obtained from multilinear regression-based Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis. Validation was performed by comparing theoretical IC50 values with experimental values. The results show that molecule A is the most reactive, followed by molecules B, D, and C, which have the same theoretical IC50 value as the experiment. The interaction of the compounds with ROS and RNS radicals exhibited spontaneous reactions with negative ?G, reinforcing their potential antioxidant activity. This study confirmed that triazole-derived compounds have the potential to be further developed as effective antioxidants.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 2 – Zero HungerSDG 3 – Good Health and Well-BeingSDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production

Abstract

Phytocasin is a group of phytoalexin compounds that are synthesized and accumulate in plant cells after microbial infection. In this study, the Gaussian 16 W program package with the density functional theory (DFT) calculation method and the B3LYP/6-31G basis sets were used. The inhibitor molecules used were phytocasin A, B, C, D and E, differences in the positions of the hydroxyl (-OH) and carbonyl (C=O) groups in ring A. The analysis was carried out in the gas phase and water solvent. The results of quantum parameter calculations revealed that phytocasin has favorable electronic characteristics as an inhibitor, such as a relatively small band gap, low ionization potential, low electronegativity, indicating strong electron donation, low chemical hardness and high softness, increasing its surface reactivity. Electron transfer confirms the efficiency of charge exchange with Fe, supported by strong energy interaction and low back-donation transfer. Molecular electrostatic potential (ESP) analysis revealed carbonyl and hydroxyl groups as the dominant adsorption centers because of the highly electronegative region. The results of the calculations of bond energy, bond length and thermodynamic parameters indicate that phytocasin strongly and spontaneously interacts with Fe. These findings indicate that phytocasin is a beneficial natural iron corrosion inhibitor. The best phytocasin with potential as an iron corrosion inhibitor in the gas phase is phytocasin E, and in aqueous solvents, it is phytocasin B. The inhibitory reactivity of phytocasin in solvents is greater than that in the gas phase.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of variations in the acceptor group of dithiophen-based type D-π-A dyes that are efficiently used as sensitizers in DSSC. The calculation uses the 16W Gaussian program with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time Dependent-DFT (TD-DFT) methods with the B3LYP/6-31G set base. Based on the results of the study, it is known that acceptor variations can affect the shift in absorption spectrum and bandgap values. The dye AT5 is predicted to have higher efficiency to be used as a sensitizer, because it has the smallest bandgap value and has a dipole moment value, as well as a larger wavelength. The smaller the bandgap value, the absorbedyu light will shift towards the red shift, and the electron excitation process will be easier. It can be concluded that dyes with cyanide formal acceptors can improve the efficiency of D-π-A type dyes as sensitizers in DSSC.

Abstract

In this study, anthocyanin dyes have been designed in two ways: without modification and with modification, incorporating donor chains and π-chains, and forming the structure of type D-π-A dyes. The anthocyanin dyes used are delphinidine, cyanidin, pelargonidin, malvidin, petunidine, and fragarine. Meanwhile, the modified molecule is a combination of anthocyanin dye as an acceptor chain, coumarin as a donor chain, and 1,4-dihydro-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole as a π-conjugation chain. The molecular structure was calculated using a 16W Gaussian Software with the DFT method and the B3LYP/6-31G base set. The results of the calculation on the dye without modification showed that the malvidin dye produced the smallest bandgap of 2.4085 eV and the largest light absorption. Meanwhile, the results of the calculation of the modified dye showed that the modified dye with the delphinidin acceptor produced the smallest bandgap of 1.4485 eV and the largest light absorption. In conclusion, modified anthocyanin dyes can improve the light absorption efficiency in DSSCs.

Abstract

Organic waste from food scraps is a major contributor to environmental pollution. The Madrasah Aliyah at the Mu’allimin Islamic Boarding School generates approximately 15–20 kg of organic waste per day, which is directly disposed of in a temporary storage area without any treatment. This has the potential to cause odors, environmental pollution, and health hazards. Therefore, food waste management is necessary to address these issues. One method of waste management is solar biodigester technology combined with bioactivators, which is a simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-implement technology. This community service activity aims to apply solar biodigester technology combined with bioactivators to reduce organic waste. Success indicators include a reduction in the volume of organic waste, the production of solid and liquid compost, accelerated degradation time, and increased understanding among participants. The method used is Participatory Approach through stages of outreach, training in the construction and operation of solar biodigesters, and practical sessions on bioactivator production. Evaluation was conducted by measuring waste volume before and after treatment, observing the degradation process, and assessing participants’ level of understanding. The results showed that the application of solar biodigester and bioactivator technology was able to reduce kitchen waste volume by 50.8% with a faster degradation time compared to conventional methods, and participants’ knowledge increased by 52.68%. The integration of solar biodigesters and bioactivators is effective in reducing organic waste, accelerating degradation, conserving land, and being environmentally friendly.
