Abstract

Kulit buah naga memiliki kandungan senyawa golongan flavonoid, salah satunya adalah antosianin. Antosianin ini dapat berubah warna seiring berubahnya nilai pH sehingga dapat diaplikasikan sebagai indikator asam-basa. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh ekstrak kulit buah naga yang memiliki kandungan antosianin di dalamnya dan memanfaatkannya sebagai indikator titrasi asam-basa. Ekstrak diperoleh melalui ekstraksi dengan 3 variasi pelarut, yaitu aquades, campuran aquades-asam sitrat, dan campuran etanol-asam sitrat. Ekstrak yang diperoleh diuji kandungan senyawa, kestabilan, trayek pH, dan kinerjanya sebagai indikator titrasi asam-basa. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan ekstrak kulit buah naga mengandung senyawa golongan flavonoid. Ekstrak kulit buah naga mempunyai trayek pH pada kisaran pH 7,33-9,33 sehingga dapat diaplikasikan sebagai indikator pada titrasi asam kuat-basa kuat atau asam lemah-basa kuat. Penggunaan ekstrak kulit buah naga sebagai indikator pada titrasi asam kuat-basa kuat (HCl-NaOH) menghasilkan persen kesalahan teoritis titrasi sebesar +0,0041%, sedangkan pada titrasi asam lemah-basa kuat (CH3COOH-NaOH) sebesar -0,0275%. Ekstrak pekat kulit buah naga relatif stabil dan masih layak digunakan sebagai indikator titrasi asam-basa dengan hasil yang akurat setelah penyimpanan ekstrak selama 30 hari dalam botol tertutup dan suhu rendah. Berdasarkan hasil ini, ekstrak kulit buah naga dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai alternatif indikator sintetis yang umum digunakan pada titrasi asam-basa di laboratorium.

Abstract

Ceramic membrane technology plays an essential role in separation fields such as wastewater treatment. Fly ash as a membrane material has proven to be very effective for many separation processes, including water and air purification, as well as industrial and environmental resource recovery. This study aims to develop a microfiltration ceramic membrane based on fly ash with the addition of dolomite. The synthesized ceramic membranes were then characterized using XRD, SEM, and TGA. Ceramic membranes are used to reduce COD and BOD levels in tofu industrial wastewater. The results showed that the value of membrane porosity tends to increase with the addition of dolomite 0% (D0) to 30% (D30). The increase in the porosity value in the membrane was followed by a decrease in the average pore size, namely 1.6994 m at D0 and 1.1730 m at D30. The membrane with 30% dolomite composition has the best mechanical properties with a compressive strength of 35.29 MPa and superior thermal resistance. This is very beneficial for the use of membranes in the long term. Meanwhile, the membrane filtration ability and the ability of the membrane to reduce COD and BOD levels of waste increased with the addition of dolomite from 0% to 30%. However, the decrease in COD and BOD was smaller in the membrane with 45% dolomite. D30 membrane can reduce COD 80% and BOD up to 71.44%. D30 membrane is the most effective fly ash and dolomite composition in forming pores on the membrane with the best COD and BOD reduction performance.

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are silver metal particles with nanoscale size. In the scale, they generate different properties compared to the original particle or material. AgNPs can be synthesized in several ways, one of which is through chemical reduction. This method is accelerated by heating, usually using conventional heating. However, the heating takes time, so it is less effective for application. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized by chemical reduction with sodium citrate as a reducing agent accompanied by microwave irradiation to speed up the synthesis process. The resulting AgNPs were then applied to cotton fabric as an antibacterial agent. The reaction lasted for 6 minutes, much faster than using conventional heating. The synthesized particles have an average size of 56.2 nm and are stable for up to 41 days of storage. The AgNPs then can be applied to cotton fabric and inhibit the growth of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of 70%.

Abstract

Contamination of the environment by hazardous metal ions has been a major environmental issue for the past several decades. Among several hazardous metals, mercury ion (Hg(II)) is of particular concern as its compounds are extremely toxic. Hence, developing detection methods for traces of Hg(II) ions in aquatic systems is critical for mercury pollution mitigation. One method that can be used to monitor Hg(II) in aquatic systems is colorimetry-based method which is simple, rapid, and low-cost, yet selective and sensitive. The method can be conducted by applying the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance phenomenon of metal nanoparticles, such as silver nanoparticles. There are non-Hg(II) ions in the aquatic environment that can interfere the measurements. Thus, a selective method is needed to obtain a valid measurement result. Here, we introduced silver nanoparticles-chitosan (AgNPs-Ch) synthesized by chemical reduction as a selective probe of Hg(II) in an aqueous solution. The AgNPs-Ch was synthesized from silver nitrate at 80°C using trisodium citrate and chitosan as reducing agent and stabilizer, respectively. The synthesized nanoparticles were spherical with an average size below 15.0 nm. Moreover, the AgNPs-Ch was selective for Hg(II) with a linearity of 0.9556 in the concentration range of 1 - 5 ppm and was able to detect the ion down to 1.33 ppm.

Abstract

Research involving high school students or equivalent has been in great demand in recent years. Various ministries , government institutions and universities have launched various competitive research programs and events competition based research for SMA/MA level. Students and teachers at MAN 1 Semarang City have so far experienced many difficulties in designing competitive research. The achievements made by MAN 1 Semarang City students in the field of research are still very limited. The limited research experience of accompanying teachers could also be one of the causes. Collaboration with universities as institutions that not only provide education and teaching, but also research development, is a must. Therefore, assistance in designing research that is worthy of being competed in prestigious research competitions by the Semarang State University community service team is very important. Mentoring activities are carried out in the fields of science, technology and social humanities, involving Semarang State University research experts from both fields of study. This activity involved 31 students from MAN 1 Semarang City who were members of the madrasa research program along with 9 research assistant teachers from various fields of science. Activities include assistance in several phases of competitive research design, namely creating research ideas, drafting and finalizing research designs. This activity received a very good response and was seen as being able to help students and research assistant teachers at MAN 1 Semarang City in generating brilliant research ideas with novelty or novelty and high usefulness for the advancement of science and technology. A total of three proposal titles were produced from this activity ; one title in the field of social and human affairs and two titles in the field of science and technology. The obstacles in implementing mentoring are felt by teachers and students who have to spare time between busy teaching and learning activities at madrasas. The implementing team expressed its appreciation to the research supervisors and students who had successfully prepared research proposals to the final stage.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This underlines the importance of preventive strategies to reduce the risk. Harnessing natural products like tea could be an alternative preventive strategy. In this study, the chemopreventive potential of roselle flower tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) enriched with cinnamon oil (Cinnamomum burmannii) and lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) was evaluated. The tea was formulated using a stirred boiler tank and tested for its cytotoxicity against T47D cells using the MTT method. The cytotoxicity test showed that with the addition of cinnamon oil and lemongrass, roselle tea had more significant cytotoxic activity against T47D cancer cells than pristine roselle tea. Adding 5 g of cinnamon and lemongrass oil vapor for 15 seconds into the tea showed the highest cytotoxicity, with an IC50 of 730 μg/mL. This value is almost three times higher than without adding cinnamon oil and lemongrass. In conclusion, adding cinnamon oil and lemongrass to the roselle tea formulation can increase cytotoxic activity against T47D cancer cells, indicating its potential as a natural anti-cancer agent.Keywords: Chemopreventive, Cinnamon, Lemongrass, Roselle Tea, T47D Cells.
