Abstract

Disinfectant is one of the materials that can be used to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, but most of the disinfectants used in the community are disinfectants made from synthetic chemicals that are harmful to the environment. The purpose of this study was to synthesize and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of silver (Ag) nanoparticles- mangosteen rind extract as an active ingredient in an environmentally friendly disinfectant formula. The synthesis process of silver nanoparticles was carried out by adding a bioreductant of mangosteen rind extract into a 0.01 M AgNO3 solution precursor with a variation of the precursor:bioreductor volume ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and 1: 6. The results of the analysis with UV-Vis spectroscopy showed that the silver nanoparticles of mangosteen rind extract had good stability. The decrease in the absorption peak in the FTIR spectrum at a wave number of 3390.86 cm-1 indicates the contribution of the –OH group in the bioreductant compound in the reduction process of silver nanoparticles. PSA analysis and digital microscopy showed that the diameter of the synthesized silver nanoparticles with a volume ratio of bioreductor: precursor 1:1 and 1:2 were 82.33 nm and 356.2 nm, respectively. The antimicrobial activity test showed that the active ingredient mixture of silver-mangosteen rind extract with a composition of 1:1 had the best activity in inhibiting the growth of gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Eschericia coli bacteria. The results of this study indicate that silver nanoparticles extracted from mangosteen rind are good active ingredients for environmentally friendly liquid disinfectants.

Abstract

The increasing demand for plastic food packaging has raised concerns over the environmental impact of plastic waste. Previous research has used sago liquid waste as a primary food packaging material, namely, edible coatings on tomatoes and edible films on sausages. However, research on secondary food packaging has not been conducted. The method used in this research involves a series of stages, from synthesizing bacterial cellulose to make bioplastics. The bioplastics were made with bacterial cellulose fermented from sago liquid waste and mixed with varying compositions of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), zinc oxide (ZnO), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and glycerol. Chemical characteristics, as determined by functional group analysis, showed that bioplastics still exhibited the typical functional groups of bacterial cellulose, as well as additional groups from glycerol, CMC, PVA, and ZnO, indicating the success of chemical structure modification in bioplastics. The crystallinity level of bioplastics also increased with the concentration of the mixture, with the highest crystallinity value of 37.084% in bioplastic sample A4. The physical characteristics of bioplastics, such as transparency, thickness, moisture content, water solubility, water uptake, and water vapor transmission rate, increased with increasing bioplastic mixture.
