Abstract

Bananas are a tropical fruit that is popular because of its sweet taste and high nutrient content. However, bananas have a major drawback, which is a short shelf life. After reaching perfect ripeness, the banana will undergo a change in mushy texture, the skin will appear black spots, and there will be a growth of yeast that causes the appearance of the banana to be damaged and unfit for consumption. However, ripe bananas that look visually bad still contain high glucose, which can be used in fermentation or advanced processing. One of the solutions to avoid losses due to ripe banana spoilage is to process it into banana sale. Banana sale is a processed product produced from ripe bananas that go through a drying process to reduce the moisture content to a safe level, so that it can extend its shelf life. This drying process can be done by two methods, namely drying in the sun and smoking. The purpose of both methods is to reduce the water content of bananas, so that they are not easily damaged by microorganisms. Using this technique, bananas that are prone to spoilage can be transformed into more durable products, have a distinctive taste, and have a high selling value. The quality of banana sales is influenced by various factors, such as its color, taste, aroma, texture, and shelf life. By processing bananas for sale, their economic value can increase significantly. Farmers can not only reduce losses due to bananas that do not sell well in the fresh market, but also earn additional income from value-added processed products. Banana sale products have great potential to be developed as one of the processed food products that have economic value and are beneficial to the community (Masuku, M. A., 2023; Lestari, S., et al., 2024).

Abstract

Cell-based therapy is an innovative approach currently experiencing rapid development in the biomedical field, particularly in the areas of immunotherapy and gene therapy. This approach utilizes living cells, such as genetically modified T cells, to recognize and destroy abnormal cells such as cancer cells or cells with genetic mutations. The development of gene engineering technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, has enabled scientists to precisely edit damaged genes, thereby repairing or restoring normal cell function. This study aims to examine recent advances in cell-based therapy, focusing on cell modification techniques, the efficiency of the immune system in targeting cancer cells, and the integration of gene therapy technology and immune cells. Furthermore, this study also identifies several challenges that remain, including the risk of side effects due to undesirable immune reactions, the genetic stability of the modified cells, and the long-term sustainability or viability of transplanted cells. While these challenges remain serious concerns, several clinical studies have shown that cell-based therapy has significant potential in the treatment of difficult-to-treat diseases, such as advanced cancer and rare genetic disorders. The results of this study demonstrate that cell-based therapy not only offers a new approach to treatment but also opens the door to more personalized and precise therapies. However, for broader implementation in clinical practice, further, in-depth research is needed regarding safety, long-term efficacy, and strict regulation. This research is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of more effective and safe future therapies.

Abstract

The betel nut (Areca catechu) is a tropical plant that thrives in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. This plant has long been known in traditional medicine and local culture for its content of various beneficial active compounds. One form of its utilization that has rarely been scientifically studied is fresh betel nut juice. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a preliminary assessment of the characteristics of fresh betel nut juice, particularly from a physical, chemical, and microbiological perspective. The juice production process is carried out simply by squeezing fresh betel nuts without the addition of chemicals or heating. Based on initial observations, the betel nut juice exhibits a distinctive reddish-brown color and a sharp, pungent aroma. This color and aroma likely originate from the phenolic and alkaloid compounds naturally present in the betel nut. pH measurements indicate that the juice has a fairly high acidity level, which can affect the stability of microorganisms within it. Qualitative tests of the chemical composition of the betel nut juice indicate the presence of bioactive compounds, particularly tannins and alkaloids. Tannins are known to have antimicrobial activity, while alkaloids act as physiologically active compounds that can affect the nervous system. However, the presence of these compounds does not completely inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Through simple isolation of microorganisms from the fresh juice, bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus spp., which are typically associated with natural fermentation processes, were found. The presence of these bacteria indicates that fresh areca nut juice can be a potential growth medium for certain microorganisms, particularly lactic acid bacteria. This finding opens up opportunities for further research into the use of areca nut juice as a natural fermentation agent that may have functional and probiotic value.

Abstract

Bekasam is a traditional fermented product made from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) containing a variety of fermentative microorganisms. This study aims to observe the morphology and distribution of fermentative bacteria in bekasam tilapia using the Gram staining method with crystal violet and safranin. Bekasam samples were fermented traditionally, then 1 gram of sample was taken and serial dilutions were carried out, followed by cultivation on Nutrient Agar (NA) media. The growing colonies were stained using crystal violet, iodine, alcohol, and safranin. This differential staining allows the identification of Gram-positive (purple) and Gram-negative (pink) bacteria. Microscopic observations showed a variety of bacterial shapes, including rod-shaped (bacilli) and spherical (cocci), with a fairly even distribution of Gram-positive and negative bacteria. The conclusion of this study is that bekasam contains a mixture of fermentative bacteria that can be identified through Gram staining, and this method is effective for the initial characterization of microorganisms in fermented foods. This research is useful for supporting the development of safer and more functionally valuable traditional fermented products. Furthermore, the results of this study also demonstrate the importance of understanding the role of fermentative bacteria in the bekasam-making process, which can contribute to the quality and safety of fermented products. By understanding the types and distribution of bacteria involved, producers can better understand the factors that influence the fermentation process, such as temperature, time, and raw materials. This knowledge also opens up opportunities to improve bekasam quality, both in terms of taste, texture, and nutritional content. Therefore, further research into the characteristics of other microorganisms involved in bekasam fermentation is crucial to ensure that this product is not only safe for consumption but also offers greater health benefits for consumers.

Abstract

Pine soda is a natural fermented liquid from pine needles (Pinus merkusii) which has a distinctive aroma and contains bioactive compounds with potential as antimicrobial agents. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of pine soda against Staphylococcus aureus using the disc diffusion method and to compare its effectiveness with the antibiotic ampicillin as a positive control. The process of making pine soda is carried out through simple fermentation of Pinus merkusii pine needles under certain conditions to produce a fragrant liquid. Furthermore, qualitative tests are carried out to identify the content of bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenols, and essential oils, which are known to have antibacterial properties. In the antibacterial activity test, paper discs that have been soaked in pine soda solutions with graded concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) are placed on agar media that have been inoculated with S. aureus. The results of the observation showed the presence of inhibition zones in each treatment with varying sizes. The largest inhibition zone was obtained at a concentration of 10% with a diameter of 10 mm, which is included in the medium inhibition category. As a comparison, ampicillin produced an inhibition zone of 26.3 mm, while distilled water, the negative control, showed no inhibition zone. These findings indicate that the antibacterial activity of pine soda is influenced by its bioactive compound content, although its effectiveness is still lower than that of standard antibiotics. This potential opens up opportunities for developing pine soda as a safe natural antibacterial agent, whether in the form of health products such as antiseptics, natural cleaners, or functional beverages that support body health. Further research is needed to optimize the fermentation process, increase the concentration of active compounds, and test its effectiveness against various types of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a staple food rich in carbohydrates and widely consumed by people in various regions, especially in tropical regions such as Indonesia. Besides being easy to cultivate, cassava also has a high economic value. However, cassava has a major weakness, namely its perishability after harvest. This damage is often caused by contamination by microorganisms, especially fungi, which can grow rapidly in unhygienic and humid storage conditions. Fungal contamination not only causes odor and reduces sound quality but also has the potential to produce mycotoxins that are harmful to human health. Therefore, identifying the type of fungus growing on cassava is very important. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence and type of fungus growing on cassava through a colony morphology approach and Gram staining using crystal violet. The research method began with dilution of cassava samples, then inoculated into Nutrient Agar (NA) media, incubated for 48 hours at room temperature, and continued with microscopic examination. Staining with crystal violet aims to clarify the morphological structure of the fungus such as hyphae and spores. Observations revealed the growth of characteristic fungal colonies, as well as hyphal and spore structures that readily absorbed crystal violet. This demonstrates that this simple morphological and staining method is quite effective in providing initial insights into fungal identification. This information is expected to form the basis for developing safer and more durable cassava storage methods. Further research is recommended on specific identification using molecular testing. This step will broaden our understanding of the toxicological potential and post-harvest handling of cassava.

Abstract

Fish bekasam is one of Indonesia's traditional fermented products that involves the activity of microorganisms, especially lactic acid bacteria (LAB), to produce unique organoleptic, chemical, and microbiological characteristics. The fermentation process of bekasam plays a significant role not only in extending the shelf life of fish but also in creating a distinctive sour taste and texture that differs from other fish products. This study aims to analyze the microbiological community involved in the fish bekasam fermentation process through observation and identification of bacteria using Safranin Violet and Iodine staining techniques. This study employs a literature review approach, examining various references related to the fermentation process, the dominant bacteria species, and the environmental factors that affect the quality of bekasam. The analysis revealed that lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, and Pediococcus spp. play an important role in the fermentation of bekasam fish. These bacteria produce lactic acid, which contributes to the sour taste and plays a role in forming the product's texture. The Safranin Violet and Iodine staining techniques were effective for identifying bacteria based on their cell wall characteristics, with Gram-positive bacteria dominating the fermentation process. Environmental factors such as the fermentation time, salt concentration, and the addition of ingredients like carbohydrates or turmeric extract influence the dynamics of bacterial populations in the fermentation of bekasam. This study also emphasizes the importance of controlling pathogenic bacterial contamination, such as Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli, to ensure food safety in bekasam products. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the microbiological dynamics in fish bekasam fermentation and the relevance of staining techniques in microbiological analysis, which can be used to improve the quality and safety of traditional fermented products. This study also opens opportunities for developing safer and higher-quality bekasam products.
