Abstract

The chemical modification using esterification method to modification the papyrus fiber cellulose with citric acid was studied. Parameters investigated included the citrate acid concentration (between 0.3 to 0.6 M), and reaction temperature (from 110 to 140o C). The ester cellulose, which was a new product reaction between citric acid and cellulose, had Substitution Degree (SD) from 0.088 to 1.147 and yield from 73.75% to 97.73%. The esterification product was analyzed with FTIR spectrophotometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to identify the functional groups and the morphology of ester cellulose. Based on this research, modified cellulose have the peak of ester carbonyl functional group (C=O) at 1740.43 cm-1 and O-H alcohol functional group (O-H) at band 3406.82cm-1. Modification with citric acid 0.6 M at 120o C is the best condition to get the high DS value 1.147 in 97.73 yield as a brown powder.

Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of cellulose acetate and nanocellulose acetate have been carried out. Cellulose was isolated from sengon wood powder waste using 6% NaOH solution and bleached with NaOCl. The cellulose was hydrolyzed with 60% formic acid to obtain nanocellulose. Cellulose and nanocellulose were then modified with acetic anhydride. The synthesized products were characterized by FTIR to identify organic functional groups, powder XRD to measure crystallinity, and SEM to observe surface morphology. Solubility tests in several types of solvents were also performed. The degree of substitution (DS) of cellulose acetate and nanocellulose acetate was carried out based on Indonesia’s SNI 0444:2009 method. The DS calculation show that the cellulose acetate and nanocellulose have DS of 2.9 and 2.1, respectively.

Abstract

Pine rosin acid or Gondorukem is a solid resin obtained from pine sap. It is yielded as residue from a high temperature distillation process. In industry, rosin acid is widely used and modified as raw material in paint, ink, adhesive, resin, thermoplastic, and thermosetting polymer. Modification process generally is undergone to generate rosin acid with specific properties and for certain purposes. This paper report, potassium permanganate oxidation reaction of pine rosin acid under acidic process at low temperature. Product identified as 13,14-seco-13-oxoabiet-7-ene-dioic acid (0.52%), 7,8-dihydroxy-abietic acid (6.62%), and 7-oxo-dehydroabietic acid (1.49%). The crude product was isolated as a pale to white solid. Under high temperature a yellowish product was resulted. In overall, the yield isolated in between 46.4% and 86.0%.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus causes many severe diseases, such as meningitis, lung infection, and hematogenous osteomyelitis. The prolonged use of antibiotic drugs leads to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), decreasing their effectiveness against S. aureus. Therefore, novel drugs isolated from natural products have been the focus of many researchers to solve that problem. The essential oils isolated from Vitex trifolia leaf have many pharmacological activities, including antibacterial and antifungal activities. In this research, essential oil was isolated by distillation, followed by GC-MS analysis. The antibacterial activity of the essential oil was conducted using a disk diffusion test (Kirby-Bauer) and by molecular docking study. The essential oil yield from distillation was 0.13%, containing major compounds such as sabinene, eucalyptol, terpinen-4-ol, α-terpineol, limonene, and caryophyllene. The essential oil gave intermediate inhibition against S. aureus with a 6.91 ± 0.03 mm inhibition zone in 20 mg/mL of the sample. Using molecular docking study, caryophyllene and α-terpineol were the key compounds for inhibiting the active site of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, sortase A, and dihydrofolate reductase that are responsible for the S. aureus growth and development.
