Abstract

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) is a medicinal plant that produces essential oils and is often used as a flavoring of food and medicine. The process of extracting essential oils from the nutmeg fruit pulp using the steam-water distillation method. The yield of essential oil obtained at 0.07765%, with a pale yellow color, the distinctive smell of nutmeg oil with a refractive index of 1.485, and a specific gravity of 0.909 g / mL and soluble in ethanol. The results of GC-MS identification showed that the essential oil of nutmeg fruit flesh contains five components, the main compound is myristicin (18.44%), α-pinene (14.2%), limonene (9.37%), γ-terpinene (7.98%) and terpinolene (7.66%). Based on the test results of anti-inflammatory activity, the value of the percentage of red blood cell stability optimum mounting to 80.21% at a concentration of 10 ug / mL, where the standard aspirin has an activity of 72.26%. These results indicate that the meat nutmeg essential oil is potential as anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract

Research on the adsorption of Mn (II) ions has been carried out using  biomass duckweed (Lemna minor linn) with the esterified by citric acid. This study aims to determine the maximum adsorption capacity of Mn (II) ions in using adsorbent biomass of duckweed esterified by citric acid. Water nail biomass adsorbents were characterized using FTIR to determine the functional groups of citric acid esterified adsorbents. The stages of this research include modification of water biomass using citric acid, followed by manganese (II) ion adsorption tests with pH variations in pH, contact time of adsorption and initial concentration variations under optimum conditions. The results showed that optimum adsorption occurred at pH  5, contact time for 10 minutes and the concentration of Mn (II) solution 15 mg / L was measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The equation used in the study follows the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Based on the Langmuir isotherm equation, the maximum adsorption capacity of Mn (II) ion using citric acid modified water nail biomass is  7,645 mg/ g, the equilibrium constant is 4,317 L/ mol and the adsorption energy is 36,84039 KJ / mol.

Abstract

Cayenne pepper was known to treat swelling of tissue cells and is thought to have anti-inflammatory activity. The aim study is to examine the anti-inflammatory activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of cayenne pepper and identify the components of organic compounds in the ethyl acetate fraction. The stages of this research include preparation, extraction, partitioning, phytochemical tests, anti-inflammatory activity tests using Human Red Blood Cells (HRBC), and identifying the components of organic compounds they contain. Among the three fractions obtained at the extraction stage, the ethyl acetate fraction had the best activity as an anti-inflammatory at a concentration of 1000 mg/L of 57.77%. The fractionation of the ethyl acetate fraction was carried out using Vaccum Liquid Chromatography (VLC), and four combined fractions were obtained. One of the combined fractions, code EA-4-5, with a weight of 0.188 grams, was analyzed using GC-MS and FTIR. The two main compounds obtained from the GC-MS analysis were dodecanoic acid (25.79%) and (-)-Loliolide (12.86%). The results of the FTIR interpretation of the EA-4-5 fraction showed absorption at a wave number of 3234.62 cm-1 (stretching vibration of the -OH functional group), 3088.03 cm-1 and 3028.24 cm-1 (stretching vibration of the functional group =CH), 2931.8 cm-1 and 2858.51 cm-1 (functional group strain vibration –CH), 1712.79 cm-1 (functional group strain vibration –C=O), and 1606.7 cm-1 (strain vibration functional group –C=C).
