Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of adding lime juice (Citrus aurantifolia) on the quality of Nata de Cane. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design with five lime juice concentrations (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) and a constant Acetobacter xylinum starter concentration of 30%. The observed parameters included fiber content, moisture content, sugar content, vitamin C, yeast and mold counts, and organoleptic properties. The results showed that the addition of lime juice had no significant effect on fiber, moisture, and sugar content. However, there was a significant increase in vitamin C levels, from 0.45 mg/100 g in the control to 4.80 mg/100 g in the 4% treatment. The organoleptic test indicated that the 4% lime juice treatment achieved the highest scores for color, aroma, taste, and texture. These findings demonstrate that the addition of lime juice can increase vitamin C content and improve the sensory quality of Nata de Cane. Therefore, lime juice addition is effective as a natural pH regulator and nutritional enhancer in fermented food production.

Abstract

This research was conducted to identify dengue virus serotypes circulating in Jakarta using the RT-PCR method. A total of 30 blood samples were used to study dengue virus serotypes circulating in Jakarta. The results of the study showed that all four dengue virus serotypes were found in Jakarta. Apart from that, cases of double infection with the dengue virus have also been found in the area, which can worsen the symptoms of the disease. RT-PCR has proven effective in detecting dengue virus with a high level of sensitivity and specificity. Early detection of the dengue virus is considered crucial in efforts to prevent and control this disease

Abstract

Jatropha multifida L. has been used as a traditional remedy for fresh wounds. Its bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins, are known for their potential to accelerate wound healing. Research on medicinal plants continues to advance in order to develop more practical pharmaceutical formulations. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Jatropha multifida L. leaf extract gel on incision wound healing in Mus musculus and to identify the optimal concentration. A laboratory experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design was used, consisting of five treatments: negative control (no gel), positive control (Bioplacenton), and extract gel concentrations of 15%, 30%, and 45%, each replicated three times using 15 male mice. Daily observations over 25 days included measurements of wound length, redness, scab formation and detachment, and overall wound closure. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to determine differences among treatment groups. One-way ANOVA results showed a significance value of < 0.05, indicating a meaningful effect on wound reduction. The 45% gel concentration demonstrated the highest effectiveness in promoting wound healing. This outcome is linked to the flavonoid content of Jatropha multifida, which supports vasodilation, collagen synthesis, and the strengthening of collagen fibers during the healing process.
