Abstract

Mungbean (Vigna radiate) and red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a type of food containing isoflavone in the form of glycoside (genistin, daidzin, glycitin). Isoflavones are one type of phytoestrogen which have similar chemical structure with estradiol. Therefore, it can be used not only to inhibit but also to prevent many symptoms related to estrogen deficiency. Human body cannot adsorb isoflavone in the glycoside form. In order to make it absorbable, isoflavone should be hydrolyzed to defuse its glycoside chain to be aglycon (genistein, daidzein, glycitein). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of hydrolysis on chromatogram profile of mungbean and red bean. Hydrolysis was conducted by chemical method using hydrochloride acid (HCl). The chromatogram profile was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography method (HPLC) using C18 reverse phase column, the mobile phase was methanol : water (7:3), the sample injected automatically as much as 10 ml, the flow rate of 1 ml/min with a temperature of 28°C, at a wavelength of 254 nm. This study showed that chemical hydrolysis successes to remove the glycoside chain in both mungbean and red bean extract.

Abstract

Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.), which belongs to the Pandanaceae family, is widely used by local Papuan people as a source of food, natural dyes, and traditional medicinal ingredients. Red fruit contains several compounds such as tannins, vitamin C, beta carotene, and flavonoids. This research aims to determine the presence of antioxidant activity using the Cupric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) method. Antioxidant capacity using the CUPRAC method is expressed as mg of ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE) per g of juice (mgAAE/g). The method is measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with the maximum wavelength. Ascorbic acid was used as a comparison to assess the antioxidant ability of red fruit juice. The results showed that the antioxidant activity capacity of red fruit juice was 100.4 mgAAE/g. Thus, red fruit can be developed as a natural antioxidant.

Abstract

Retrosynthetic analysis represents a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis, providing a rational and highly systematic framework for the design and planning of complex molecular architectures. This strategy involves the stepwise disconnection of a target molecule into progressively simpler intermediates and ultimately into commercially available or readily accessible starting materials. By focusing on strategic bond disconnections and functional group interconversions, retrosynthesis facilitates the identification of key synthetic transformations, allowing chemists to navigate backward from the desired product to a feasible synthetic route. The integration of this methodology enables the optimization of reaction sequences in terms of step economy, atom economy, stereoselectivity, and overall synthetic efficiency. Furthermore, retrosynthetic planning is indispensable in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, natural products, and pharmaceutical agents, where the construction of complex frameworks demands both creativity and precision. As such, retrosynthesis not only streamlines the synthetic process but also enhances the reliability, scalability, and reproducibility of organic synthesis, making it an essential tool in both academic research and industrial applications.

Abstract

Red fruit is a member of the Pandanaceae family which is a type of pandan. Empirically, red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam.) has been proven to cure various degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis, respiratory tract disorders, external antiseptic and eye and skin diseases. The aim of this research was to determine the antioxidant activity of red fruit juice using the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) method. The juice was tested qualitatively and quantitatively using the FRAP method. The qualitative test results after adding the FRAP reagent were positive for antioxidant activity because the color changed to blue. In quantitative determination of absorbance, antioxidant activity was measured using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. Absorbance was measured at a maximum wavelength of 701 nm using ascorbic acid as a reference solution. The equation obtained is y = 0.0103x + 0.3801 with a value of r = 0.9978. The total antioxidant activity value was calculated based on absorption data. The calculation results for the total antioxidant activity value were 173.68 mgAAE/L sample. Therefore, we can conclude that red fruit can be used as a natural antioxidant.

Abstract

Iron is a vital element for life, playing essential roles in oxygen transport, metabolism, enzymatic activity, and cognitive development. Surah Al-Hadid [57]:25 of the Qur’an references iron, which aligns with its biological, medical, and cosmic significance. This review examines the intersection of Qur’anic references, astrophysical evidence, and biomedical research related to iron, highlighting the numerical correlations between the surah number (57) and Fe-57, and verse 25 with iron’s atomic number (26). Modern astrophysics confirms that iron is synthesized in stars and delivered to Earth via supernovae, echoing the Qur’anic expression “We sent down iron”. Biologically, iron deficiency causes anemia, impaired immunity, and cognitive deficits, while iron-based therapeutics—including oral supplements, parenteral formulations, and nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems—demonstrate its crucial role in human health. Surah Al-Hadid [57]:25 exemplifies the convergence of divine revelation and scientific knowledge, encouraging ethical and informed utilization of natural elements in medicine and technology, reflecting harmony between spiritual guidance and scientific inquiry.

Abstract

The banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) is a fruit widely consumed across tropical regions and recognized for its rich nutritional value and diverse bioactive compounds that contribute to human health. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant content of banana plants from both nutritional and pharmacological perspectives through a comprehensive literature review. The review was conducted using scientific articles and official guidelines published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that the banana pulp contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates (27%), proteins (1%), and a variety of vitamins and minerals including calcium, potassium, and iron. In contrast, the banana peel, often considered agricultural waste, is abundant in bioactive phytochemicals such as flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, which contribute to its antioxidant potential. Antioxidant activity in banana extracts has been reported using various analytical methods, including DPPH (IC₅₀ = 439.12 µg/mL), FRAP (26.5828 mg QE/g extract), ABTS (IC₅₀ = 60.50–95.85 ppm), CUPRAC (EC₅₀ = 101–150 µg/mL), and CAA (397 ± 5 µmol TE/100 g) assays. Moreover, fruit maturity influences antioxidant capacity, with unripe banana peels generally exhibiting higher antioxidant activity than ripe ones. These results highlight that banana plants, particularly their peels, possess considerable potential as natural antioxidant sources for use in food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, the valorization of banana peel aligns with the circular economy concept, promoting sustainable agricultural waste management and environmental conservation.
