Abstract

Sugar reduction is one of the essential macronutrients used as energy sources. High levels of sugar reduction in food can increase the sweet taste of these foodstuffs. However, the consumption of high sugar food can cause diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study is to increase the economic value of liquid palm sugar (Borassus flabellifer L) and opportunities as a preservative in the food industry. This research used quantitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the level of sugar reduction in siwalan liquid brown sugar (Borassus flabellifer L) was 15.65%, the water content in the liquid palm sugar sample (Borassus flabellifer L) is 26.78%, and the temperature of the liquid brown sugar after cooking is 230C. The effect of heat or temperature on cooking also causes physical changes in liquid brown sugar such as caramel formation, color and flavour.

Abstract

Irregular urine output triggers kidney stone disease. One way to cure it is by using synthetic diuretic compounds. The use of synthetic diuretic drugs for a long time can cause side effects, namely gastric damage. Therefore, research is needed to determine the diuretic effect of ethanol extract of avocado leaves (Persea americana) and its effect on the histological structure of the gastric  of male rats. Avocado leaf extract is made by maceration method, using 70% ethanol and then evaporated. Wistar male rats were divided into 5 treatment groups namely negative control (aquadest), positive control (furosemide), avocado leaf extract dose of 50 mg / kg body weight, 100 mg / kg body weight, and 150 mg / kg body weight with oral administration for 15 days. The volume of urine  was measured for 24 hours, then the mice were sacrified on the 16th day. Gastric organs were taken for histological observation by the paraffin method and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining. The results showed that the optimum avocado leaf ethanol extract was a dose of 100 mg/kg showed a diuretic effect but did not affect the histological structure of the gastric.

Abstract

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GapC) is an enzyme involved in glycolysis. The expression of this gene tends to abundant in eukaryotic cells, so this gene is frequently used as an internal control in gene expression analysis. This research aims to isolate the DNA sequence of the GapC gene from tuntun angin (Elaeocarpus floribundus BI). Methods included a collection of the leaves from Kajuik Lake, Riau Province then the DNA extraction, electrophoresis, amplification of partial DNA sequence of GapC gene, cloning and sequencing. The DNA sequence was analyzed using the BLASTn program and MEGA6 software. The GapC sequence obtained in this study was 933 bp in size, consisting of four introns and five exons, and encoding 137 deduced amino acids. The BLASTn analysis showed that the sequence has 89.84%-90.16% similarity to other species of Cunoniaceae family, such as species from the genus of Spiraeanthemum and Codia. The parsial sequence of E. floribundus GapC gene was more resemble the one of Spiraeanthemum than Codia genus. The GapC sequence obtained in this study was the first reported from the Elaeocarpaceae family. This sequence has the opportunity to serve as an internal control after validation.

Abstract

Antioxidants have an important role in delaying the oxidation process and preventing the occurrence of degenerative diseases in the body. Antioxidants consist of synthetic and natural; the use of synthetic antioxidants in a relatively long period is hazardous so that the use of natural antioxidants is considered more potential and safe for the body. The process of extracting secondary metabolites from the leaves of bangun-bangun (Coleus amboinicus L.) is carried out by the maceration method with methanol, then partitioned in stages with n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate. This research intends to identify secondary metabolites and test antioxidant activity from the ethyl acetate fraction with the DPPH method. Phytochemical screening results of ethyl acetate fraction showed the different secondary metabolite groups such as alkaloids, phenolics & polyphenols, flavonoids, coumarin, and triterpenoids. Antioxidant activity (IC50) obtained is 64.97 with a healthy category, so that the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant.

Abstract

Salmonella Sp is a gram-negative pathogens that are often found in marine foods,one of  process of serving  salmon is channeling lime juice, where lime juice is acidic and has phytochemical properties that have anti-bacterial properties. This study aims to explore anti-bacterial effect lime juice on Salmonella thypii bacteria in Salmon. This research is an experimental study using  disc diffusion method. Lime samples that were used were purchased from one of the modern markets in Medan which were made in several series of concentrations using distilled water as a solvent, while the salmon samples used in this study were purchased from one of the Japanese dining restaurants located in Medan City. Meanwhile, isolation of Salmonella thypii bacteria from salmon samples was carried out using nutrient broth and SSA media. The results of this study indicate that differences in concentration indicate the differences in the diameter of the inhibitory zone (P value = 0.000). With the diameter of the widest inhibition zone formed by a concentration of 100% is 15.40 ± 0.44 mm and the smallest diameter is formed by a concentration of 5% which is 7.23 ± 0.55 mm. Thus, it can be concluded that the lime juice has anti-bacterial activity against Salmonella thypii bacteria from salmon.
