Abstract

Coastal environmental problems in Rupat District cannot be resolved solely through a top-down approach or government intervention. This study was conducted in 2025 with the intention of comprehensively analyzing the role of the community in environmental management in the coastal areas of Rupat District, particularly on Ketapang and Lancah beaches. Through a systematic research approach, this study aims to identify the forms of community roles in coastal environmental management efforts, analyze factors that influence the level of community participation, describe the various challenges faced in implementing community-based environmental management, and formulate strategies for strengthening community roles that can be implemented sustainably. The method used in this study was a survey method with a total of 31 respondents, consisting of fishermen, seaweed farmers, fish traders, community leaders, and people involved in marine tourism activities. The results of the study can be concluded that community-based coastal environmental management has enormous potential but faces complex structural challenges

Abstract

Carrot extract (Daucus carota L.) contains various bioactive compounds, including vitamins A, B, and C, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinones, saponins, diterpenes, steroids, beta-carotene, phenols, terpenoids, and minerals, all of which possess antioxidant properties. These compounds are known to help slow down the aging process. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal concentrations of gelling and alkalizing agents, assess their interactions, and evaluate the anti-aging effects of the most effective serum formulation. The formulation was optimized using the Box–Behnken design with two key factors: Carbopol 940 concentration (0.5–1%) and triethanolamine (0.5–1%). The effects on pH, adhesion, and spreadability were evaluated. The best formulation was achieved with 0.837% Carbopol 940 and 0.855% triethanolamine,  showing a pH error of 2.45%, adhesion error of 0.76%, and spreadability error of 1.01%, all within acceptable limits (errors < 10%). After four weeks of stability testing, the formulation remained stable, well-mixed, with a pH of 5.16, an adhesion time of 1.60 seconds, and spreadability of 6.73 cm, with no discomfort. The combination of Carbopol 940 and triethanolamine improved the physical properties, enhancing anti-aging effects compared to the base formula. The optimized serum increased skin moisture by 84.62%, reduced pore size by 64.71%, lightened spots by 62.79%, and reduced wrinkles by 67.50%. This indicates the optimized carrot extract serum is stable, safe, and effective as an anti-aging agent, making it a promising natural skincare product.

Abstract

Kombucha tea is a traditional fermented beverage known for its probiotic benefits, produced from sweetened tea fermented with a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY). Recent innovations have focused on enhancing its functional properties using local fruit extracts. However, studies on the incorporation of Spondias dulcis (kedondong), a native fruit of Riau, remain limited. This study aims to formulate kombucha tea enriched with kedondong juice and evaluate its quality and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Four formulations were prepared with kedondong juice concentrations of 0% (F1), 10% (F2), 20% (F3), and 30% (F4). Parameters observed included organoleptic properties, pH, alcohol content, microbial growth, and total acidity. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method, and results were statistically analyzed using One-Way ANOVA. F4 on day 7 showed the highest inhibition zones (13.30 mm for E. coli and 14.49 mm for S. aureus), with significant differences between formulations (p < 0.05). This study highlights the potential of kedondong-enriched kombucha tea as a functional probiotic beverage and a natural source of mild antibacterial agents, offering an innovative approach to utilizing local biodiversity in public health.

Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are capable of producing bioactive metabolites that can inhibit the growth of molds, including Aspergillus parasiticus. However, the potential of local LAB strains from Riau as biocontrol agents has not been extensively explored. This study aimed to optimize the concentration of LAB isolated from Riau to obtain the best antifungal activity, evaluate the effectiveness of their supernatants against the growth of A. parasiticus, and assess their potential application in food commodities.The antifungal activity of cell suspensions was tested using the well-diffusion method with varying concentrations (OD). Cell-free supernatants were analyzed through dilution assays to determine the percentage of fungal inhibition. Application testing was conducted on corn kernels as a biocontrol model. The results showed that increasing LAB cell density correlated with a larger inhibition zone against the mold. The two best isolates, S28 and AERH7, at OD 0.8 and 48 hours of incubation, produced inhibition zones of 18.67 mm and 17.58 mm, respectively. The supernatants of both isolates also demonstrated strong activity, with inhibition percentages of 72.17% and 64.39%, confirming the role of LAB metabolites in antifungal activity. Application on corn kernels further showed a visible reduction in mold growth compared to the control.This study concludes that LAB strains from Riau possess significant potential as natural biocontrol agents against A. parasiticus. These findings provide practical benefits for developing microbial-based biopreservation strategies to enhance food safety and quality.

Abstract

Pada penelitian ini, 2'-hidroksicalkon (C345) dan flavonol (F345) tersubstitusi trimetoksi telah disintesis menggunakan metode iradiasi microwave dan metode pengadukan. Struktur kedua produk telah dikarakterisasi melalui analisis spektroskopi UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, dan HRMS. Hasil analisis spektroskopi menunjukkan bahwa kedua produk memiliki struktur yang sesuai dengan struktur molekul target yang diharapkan. Selain itu, hasil sintesis juga menunjukkan bahwa metode iradiasi microwave terbukti dapat mempercepat waktu reaksi (dari 1,5-3,0 jam menjadi 3-6 menit) dan meningkatkan rendemen produk murni pada sintesis senyawa C345 (55,31 %) dan F345 (83,65 %). Selanjutnya, hasil docking menunjukkan bahwa kedua senyawa dapat membentuk ikatan hidrogen dengan beberapa residu penting pada sisi aktif dan dapat terikat pada kedua situs katalik MPro SARS-CoV-2 (PDB ID:6M2N), yaitu His41 dan Cys145 melalui interaksi hidrofobik dengan nilai energi bebas pengikatan yang lebih negatif (-8,95 dan -9,02 kcal/mol) dibandingkan dengan baicalein sebagai inhibitor pembanding. Hasil kajian in silico lainnya juga menunjukkan bahwa kedua senyawa memiliki profil farmakokinetik yang baik dan memiliki sifat kemiripan dengan obat berdasarkan aturan Lipinski, Ghose, Veber, Egan, dan Muegge. Selain itu, senyawa F345 juga diprediksi memiliki risiko toksisitas yang lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan baicalein. Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and In Silico Study of the Potential of 2'-Hydroxychalcone and Trimethoxy-Substituted Flavonols as Inhibitors of the Main Protease (MPro) of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, trimethoxy-substituted 2'-hydroxychalcone (C345) and flavonol (F345) were synthesized using microwave irradiation and stirring methods. The structure of the two products were characterized by spectroscopic analyses including UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The result of spectroscopic analyses showed that the products had structures consistent with the expected target molecules. In addition, the synthesis results showed that the microwave irradiation method was proven to speed up the reaction time (from 1.5-3.0 hours to 3-6 minutes) and increased the yield of pure product in the synthesis of compounds C345 (55.31 %) and F345 (83.65 %). Furthermore, the docking result showed that the two compounds can form hydrogen bonds with several important residues on the active site and also can bind to catalytic dyad of the SARS-CoV-2 MPro (PDB ID:6M2N), namely His41 and Cys145 through hydrophobic interactions with a more negative binding free energy (-8.95 and -9.02 kcal/mol) than baicalein as a reference inhibitor. The result of silico studies also showed that the two compounds exhibited good pharmacokinetic profiles and drug-likeness properties based on Lipinski, Ghose, Veber, Egan, and Muegge rules. In addition, compound F345 was also predicted to has a smaller toxicity risk compared to baicalein.
