Abstract

The need for halal products is essential, particularly among various processed beef products like meatballs, which are popular among nearly the entire community. These products are susceptible to issues of meat counterfeiting for greater economic gain. This study aims to determine the smallest DNA concentration that can still be detected and to assess whether there is any pork contamination in meatballs circulating in Palu City using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This test uses four DNA samples obtained from fresh meat to test the specificity of the primer: wild boar, rat, and goat DNA samples as comparisons, and pig DNA as a positive control. The presence of DNA bands in the agarose gel electrophoresis visualization results indicates that DNA amplification has occurred, meaning that the sample can be detected. The analysis results showed that the primer used (Cyt-b) had good specificity for detecting pork DNA, while the absolute pork DNA concentration of 0.01 ng/µL and the reference meatball DNA with a concentration of 0.01% are the smallest limits that can still be detected using PCR. Of the four meatball samples from Palu City, one sample produced a DNA band, indicating that the sample contains or is contaminated with pig DNA. This method is valid as it meets the specificity test and demonstrates a good detection limit.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate three nanogel-based transdermal patch formulations combining red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) and tapak liman (Elephantopus scaber L.) extracts to accelerate diabetic gangrene wound healing. The extracts were obtained by maceration using 70% ethanol and qualitatively indicated flavonoid-like compounds through color reactions and TLC profiles. The nanogel was prepared from a nanoemulsion containing Tween 80, PEG 400, olive oil, and distilled water, then incorporated into a carbopol-based gel matrix with propylene glycol, triethanolamine, and nipagin. The mixture was dried in an oven at 50 °C and stored in a desiccator for 24 hours to form a stable patch. Physical evaluation showed a pH of 6.0–6.7, patch thickness of 0.106–0.113 mm, and nanoparticle sizes of 74.46, 108.2, and 118.7 nm for Formulas 1–3, respectively. In vivo testing used diabetic rats divided into five groups: positive control (iodine plaster), negative control (untreated), and Formulas 1–3 with extract ratios of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3. Formula 3, with a particle size of 118.7 nm, achieved complete wound closure by day 7. These findings highlight the potential of this nanogel-based transdermal system as a promising foundation for developing effective topical therapies for diabetic gangrene wounds
