Abstract

The textile industry in the world keeps increasing, but it harms environmental pollution caused by textile dye waste. Synthetic dyes contain carcinogenic and mutagenic ingredients that can demage the environment and aquatic biota. The alternative to handling dye pollution with a low-cost method is adsorption using nitric acid-activated coconut fiber. Coconut fiber was an abundant agricultural waste and economical, and it had an active site that contained many compounds such as cellulose, lignin, pyroligneous acid, and tannin molecules. This study used the UV-Vis Spectrophotometer analysis method to determine the effect of pH, contact time, and coconut fiber on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue. The result showed that the optimal conditions for adsorption were a pH of 5, a contact time of 75 minutes, and a percentage adsorption of the variation of contact time of 99.628%. The adsorption study was according to a pseudo-second-order reaction with a constant reaction rate of 0.050 g mg-1 minute-1. The maximum adsorption capacity was 2 mg g-1, with the percentage of methylene blue adsorbed at 99.84%. Adsorption occurs chemically with an energy of 35.4 kJ mol-1, so it can be determined that it occurs with a monolayer mechanism.

Abstract

[Pigments of Purple Sweet Potato and Turmeric Rhizome: Eco-Friendly and Cheap Indicators for Acid-Base Titration Experiment] Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengkaji karakter pigmen umbi ubi jalar ungu (PUUJU) dan pigmen rimpang kunyit (PRK) pada larutan uji dan penggunaannya sebagai indikator titrasi asam basa dibandingkan dengan indikator fenolftalein. PRK diekstraksi dengan pelarut etanol sedangkan PUUJU diekstraksi dengan pelarut etanol dalam suasana asam. PUUJU dan PRK diuji karakter perubahan warnanya dan digunakan sebagai indikator titrasi HCl-NaOH dan CH3COOH-NaOH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan PUUJU berwarna merah pada pH 1, pink pada pH 2-6, ungu pada pH 7, biru pada pH 8-9, hijau pada pH 10-11 dan kuning pada pH 12-14. PRK menunjukkan warna kuning pada pH 1-7, merah bata pudar pada pH 8 dan semakin pekat seiring naiknya nilai pH larutan. Kedua pigmen ini mampu menunjukkan perubahan warna yang jelas pada titik akhir titrasi layaknya indikator fenolftalien. Diperoleh konsentrasi HCl pada titrasi menggunakan indikator PP, PUUJU dan PRK berturut-turut adalah 0,1031 M, 0,1045 M dan 0,1025 M sedangkan konsentrasi CH3COOH berturut-turut adalah 0,0876 M, 0,0869 M dan 0,0853 M. Berdasarkan data-data ini, PUUJU dan PRK dapat digunakan sebagai indikator titrasi HCl-NaOH dan CH3COOOH-NaOH dalam praktikum kimia di kelas.

Abstract

The G. koordersiana Burret plant, especially its bark, is used by the Sumba community to treat wounds, ulcers, and liver. This study aims to determine the effect of solvent types on the antibacterial and cytotoxic activity of G. koordersiana Burret extract. The research methods used were maceration method, antibacterial test, and cytotoxic test of G. koordersiana Burret bark extract. The results showed that the yield of ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane extracts were 42.15%; 41.65%; and 0.62%, respectively. Ethanol and methanol extracts had antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria, while n-hexane extract did not show antibacterial activity against both bacteria. Cytotoxic tests showed that the LC50 values ​​of ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane extracts were 61.35 ppm; 758.58 ppm; and 2,494,181.19 ppm, respectively. Ethanol and methanol extracts had antibacterial activity and were toxic, while n-hexane extract did not show antibacterial activity and was not toxic. The antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of ethanol and methanol extracts showed the presence of secondary metabolite compounds of the alkaloid, phenolic, flavonoid, tannin, triterpenoid, and saponin groups, while n-hexane extract contained triterpenoid compounds that had no inhibitory power against bacteria or cytotoxic activity.

Abstract

Neurodegenerative diseases are mostly experienced by postmenopausal women and are often caused by estrogen deficiency, so it is necessary to replace the hormone estrogen in the form of phytoestrogens. One of the plants that contain phytoestrogens is Marsilea crenata. The objective of this study is to see if giving rotenone-induced zebrafish a 96% ethanol extract of M. crenata leaves increases locomotor activity. This research was conducted by inducing 5 µg/L rotenone as a compound that will interfere with the locomotor activity of zebrafish. Next, treatment was given with 96% ethanol extract of clover in each group with a dose of 2.5; 5; 10; and 20 mg/mL to determine the effect of the extract on increasing locomotor activity of rotenone-induced zebrafish. Observations were made by looking at the quantity of zebrafish swimming every five minutes until day 28. The treatment of 96% ethanol extract of M. crenata leaves could significantly increase zebrafish motility at the optimum dose of 2.5 mg/mL, because every week the zebrafish locomotor activity increased compared to the negative control. M. crenata leaves extract is proven to prevent neurodegenerative diseases. However, further research needs to be done on the degenerative effects of rotenone every week.

Abstract

Sexual arousal is an important aspect to achieve a harmonious sex life, but often disorders in normal sexual function disrupt the harmony of household relationships. One alternative natural ingredient that has the potential as an aphrodisiac agent is Lelak (Uvaria rufa) which is traditionally used by the people of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia, to overcome sexual dysfunction in men. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 70% ethanol extract of Uvaria rufa roots in vivo. This study is an experimental study to test the effectiveness of 70% ethanol extract of Uvaria rufa roots in vivo. This study was conducted with an initial stage, namely 70% ethanol extract of Uvaria rufa roots obtained through maceration, then the aphrodisiac activity was measured through the parameters of the number of leydig cells and the weight of the testes of male mice (Mus musculus).The results showed that the administration of the extract with an LD50 value of 2108 μg/ml which is included in the Relatively Harmless category, while group P2 with a dose of 0.85 mg/20g BB/day was stated as the optimal dose (p<0.05 against the negative control) for aphrodisiac activity in measuring testicular weight and the number of Leydig cells. Therefore, administration of 70% ethanol extract of Uvaria rufa roots at a dose of 0.85 mg/20g BW/day is the optimal dose for aphrodisiac activity.

Abstract

Nuabosi cassavas and Inerie red kidney beans are local foods from East Nusa Tenggara whose processing is relatively limited, but they have the potential to be developed into analog rice. This study aims to determine the effects of various compositions of Nuabosi cassava flour and Inerie red kidney bean flour on the characteristics of the produced analog rice. The procedure was conducted in three main stages: the preparation of cassava flour and red beans, formulation and production, and analysis. Various compositions of Nuabosi cassavas flour and Inerie red kidney beans were used: 98:0 (A); 88:10 (B); 83:15 (C); 78:20 (D); 73:25 (E). The data were analyzed by ANOVA, followed by DMRT at a 5% significance level. The results of the study showed, analog rice sample D (78% cassavas flour: 20% red kidney beans flour) has the best physicochemical and antioxidant activity characteristics of all samples. Furthermore, the sensory analysis results showed that most panelists had started to like the aroma, taste, and texture of analog rice made from 78% cassavas flour and 20% red kidney beans flour. Analog rice made from Nuabosi cassavas and Inerie red kidney beans has the potential to be developed as a functional food. Keywords: Kriging interpolation; MSFI; paddy field; soil fertility index, soil mapping.
