Abstract

Carotenoids are important biological compounds in cancer prevention because theycan inhibit the formation of free radicals, which react directly with oxygen. This researchwas aimed to determine the effect of antimutagenic â-carotene on 7.12-dimetilbenz(a)antracene (DMBA)-induced mice. From the observation of the mortality rate during theresearch period, the DMBA group showed the highest rate of mortality compared to thecontrol group and the groups of â-carotene isolates. The incidence of tumors showed thedeclining trend in the groups of test animals that were given with the increasing dosesof β-caroten isolate, i.e. 1.82; 3.64 and 7.28 mg kg-1 BW. The result may be caused bythe increasingly high levels of â-carotene in the test solutions, resulting in the lowertissue damage and the inhibited growth of tumors in the lungs. Based on Kruskal-Wallisstatistical analysis conducted on lung histology observational data for ten samples ofeach treatment group, it was confi rmed that there were signifi cant differences betweentreatments, which mean that â-carotene isolates can inhibit cancer growth in lung andskin of DMBA-induced animals.Keywords: β-carotene isolate, antimutagenic, DMBA (7,12-dimetilbenz(a)antracene)

Abstract

Kesehatan terganggu akibat dari pola hidup yang tidak teratur sehingga muncul penyakit degeneratif seperti obesitas, diabetes, kanker dan jantung. Perlunya asupan makanan yang bergizi dan mengandung zat alami seperti karotenoid. Struktur karotenoid dibagi dalam dua kelompok besar: pertama, karoten (?-karoten, ?-karoten, likopen), yang merupakan hidrokarbon dimana tanpa ada molekul oksigen, dan kedua, santofil (xantophill) (lutein, seaksantin (zeaxanthin), fukosantin dan astaksantin) yang dioksigenasi mengandung kelompok hidroksil, metoksi, karboksil, keto atau epoksi. Fukosantin adalah salah satu pigmen berwarna oranye yang dihasilkan pada biosintesis karotenoid. Fukosantin memiliki aktivitas biologi yang berperan dalam mengatasi beberapa masalah kesehatan seperti antiobesitas, antikanker, pemakan radikal bebas, antiinflamatori.  Kata Kunci: Kesehatan, Karotenoid, Algae, Fukosantin.

Abstract

Marine biota has many benefits for human life. Sponges are a species of marine biota that can be used as a producer of antimicrobial compounds. The bacteria found in sponges have an important role in the continuity of life in the sea. The symbiotic lifestyle that occurs in bacteria and sponges has the opportunity to form substitutions for the content of secondary metabolites and enzymes, especially extracellular enzymes (amylase, protease, cellulose and lipase). This study aims to determine how to isolate sponge symbiotic bacteria and identify spongy symbiotic bacteria. The method used is purposive to take sponges. Characterization of bacteria was carried out based on morphology and gram staining. Enzymatic bacterial selection was carried out by testing the activity of the amylase enzyme (soluble starch), lipase enzyme (Teen 80), protease enzyme (skim milk) and cellulose enzyme (carboxyl methyl cellulose). Data analysis was performed in a qualitative descriptive manner by measuring the clear zone in the extracellular enzyme test results. Meanwhile, other research parameters measured in this study were temperature, salinity and pH. The results showed that out of 47 isolated bacteria and 33 of them had extracellular enzymes with 10 bacteria had amylase enzymes, 27 bacteria had lipase enzymes, 2 bacteria had protease enzymes and 1 isolate had cellulose enzymes.
