Abstract

Legionellosis is a respiratory infection caused by Legionella pneumophila, a bacterium that can infect protozoa and human lung cells. The disease can be mild or severe, and sometimes fatal, especially in immunocompromised people. Some types of antibiotics that can be used to treat Legionella disease are macrolides such as rifampicin, azithromycin and clarithromycin, as well as fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin. The aim was to investigate the distribution and prevalence of Legionella in well water. This study collected and tested water samples from a different well water in Magetan Regency, East Java, Indonesia using DNA extraction, two-step PCR methods, and visualization with 1.5% agarose gel in UV transluminator. The results were visualized with QGIS 3.28.6 and compared with other tests. The results showed that none of the eight water samples were contaminated with L. pneumophila compared with positive control (403 bp).

Abstract

Cassava can be processed into chips, which have a special appeal with their distinctive flavour and crunchy texture. Cassava chip production creates profits for cassava farmers and is a major industry in some regions. Improving product quality involves various control measures, including handling and packaging of the final product. The frying and draining process is an important factor in extending the shelf life and inhibiting oxidation of a product. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of appropriate technology (TTG) draining machines on the nutrition and shelf life of cassava chips products. The results showed that the total fat, saturated fat, protein and carbohydrate content of cassava chips products as a result of TTG were 4.91%; 2.26%; 3.11%; 81.01%, respectively. The shelf life of the chips was 5.25 months (157.5 or 158 days). The results of the organoleptic test of cassava chips in terms of colour, aroma, texture and overall liking level received a positive response from the community, both teenagers and adults. The aspects of aroma, taste, texture and colour as well as the overall level of liking with a percentage level of 80% (seblak daun jeruk), 58% (fried chicken), 61% (rendang), and 56% (grilled chicken).

Abstract

Indonesia has an electrification rate exceeding 99% as of 2020, yet it faces increasing electricity demands amid declining fossil fuel availability. Solar energy, particularly through DSSC, presents a promising renewable alternative, benefiting from an abundant radiation potential of up to 120.000 TW. DSSC have garnered significant attention due to their thin design, high efficiency, ease of fabrication, and environmental friendliness. The DSSC module was designed using two FTO glass plates as electrodes, with an anode surface area of 3 cm2. The TiO2 photoanode was prepared using a casting knife technique and then sintered at 450°C for one hour. This was followed by sensitization with anthocyanin dye derived from the butterfly pea flower under acidic conditions for 24 hours to ensure the stability of the compound. The electrolyte system consisted of PVDF NF membranes soaked in the electrolyte    solution for one hour to prevent leakage, thus completing the FTO/TiO2/PVDF/C/FTO system. Performance optimization involved arranging 20 DSSC cells in a mixed series-parallel circuit configuration. Electrical parameters were measured using a multimeter under various lamp irradiation durations. The optimal efficiency was achieved with 5 hours of irradiation, resulting in 2.050 mV and 23.5 x 10-3 µA. When integrated into a battery system, the DSSC module demonstrated effective current storage stability over 6 hours, indicating strong potential for practical implementation in sustainable energy generation for real-world applications.

Abstract

Gelatine-based smart active packaging has the potential to improve the quality of packaged meat and monitor its freshness without having to open it. This research aims to develop halochromic films by combining gelatine films with chitosan nanofibers (CHNF) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs). The addition of nanofillers such as CHNF and ZnONPs has been proven to improve mechanical properties (The humidity decreased by approximately 15.6%, while Young’s modulus increased tenfold) and provide active packaging properties, such as antioxidants (IC50 test decreased 13% from 33,12191 to 28,82021) and antimicrobials against S. aureus (increased from 9,40 to 19.73 for inhibition zone), E. coli (increased from 6.61 to 19.91 of inhibition zone), and P. aeruginosa (increased from 8.63 to 18.65 of inhibition zone). Meanwhile, the smart packaging properties are provided by anthocyanin from telang flowers, which can change color as the freshness of the meat decreases or the acidity of the meat changes. The quality of smart active packaging is reflected in the pH sensitivity, ammonia release, and anthocyanin release. The film's mechanical properties also showed improvement in humidity, Young's modulus, water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility. Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) characterization analysis showed good compatibility between the gelatine, anthocyanins, CHNF, and ZnONPs matrix. This research result demonstrates that gelatine-based films with a combination of CHNF and ZnONPs can be used to create eco-friendly and multifunctional packaging films for meat preservation.
