Abstract

Microplastics are plastic waste that is smaller than 5 mm in size Microplastics have persistent properties and contain toxic or carcinogenic chemicals that can seep into the soil through osmosis and enter the food chain, thus impacting health and the environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the types of microplastics in the Three Final Processing Sites in Lampung Province and to determine the abundance of microplastics in the Three Final Processing Sites in Lampung Province. Soil samples were taken using purposive sampling at three different points at the landfill on December 4, 2024. visual identification and abundance of microplastics using microscope and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) test. The highest abundance of microplastics was found at the Bumi Ayu landfill point (580 particles. Kg-1). The diversity of microplastic characteristics in the form of fragments, fibers, and films, the most fragment particles in soil samples. The color of microplastic particles is predominantly black and brown. The size range of microplastic particles found is between 2,12m-110,25m. Microplastic pollutants are Nylon, PVA, PMMA. The results of this study reveal that plastics that have undergone physical or chemical degradation can more easily become small fragments, thus increasing the number of microplastics produced.

Abstract

  Crystal guava (Psidium guajava Linn. cv. Kristal) was known to contain various secondary metabolites, particularly phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which acted as bioactive components with antioxidant potential. Characterization of these compounds is necessary to understand the chemical profile of the crystal guava fruit, especially in the edible portion. The objective of this study was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid profiles in crystal guava fruit pulp extract with different maturation levels. This study was an experimental laboratory-based analytical study. Fruit pulp samples were dried to a constant weight, then extracted using the maceration method with methanol as the solvent. Total phenolic content was determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu method and expressed as gallic acid equivalents, while total flavonoid content was analyzed using the AlCl3 method and expressed as quercetin equivalents. Absorbance measurements were performed using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric test, followed by the Mann–Whitney test to assess group differences. Results showed that the total flavonoid content from three samples was 130.9 mg QE/g extract, 93.3 mg QE/g extract and 185.9 mg QE/g extract. Meanwhile, total phenolic compound content was 198.5 mg GAE/g extract, 210.4 mg GAE/g extract, and 345.0 mg GAE/g extract. Statistical analysis showed significant differences (p<0.05) in the total phenolic and flavonoid content between extract groups. These findings indicate that crystal guava fruit extract has significant variation in phenolic and flavonoid compound content, making it a potential subject for further study in the context of food-based bioactive compound utilization.
