Abstract

Pengembangan obat antibiotik dalam menanggulangi penyakit akibat infeksi bakteri semakin meluas. Hal ini diiringi dengan semakin meningkatnya prevalensi retensi terhadap antibiotik. Banyaknya kasus retensi terhadap antibiotik menyebabkan perlu dilakukan pengembangan agen antibakteri yang salah satunya berasal dari senyawa turunan kalkon. Sintesis senyawa turunan kalkon yang memiliki aktivitas dalam menghambat bakteri Bacillus subtilis dan Escerichia coli telah dilakukan. Sintesis senyawa (E)-2’-hidroksi-2-bromo-4,5-dimetoksikalkon melalui reaksi kondensasi Claisen-Schmidt dari senyawa 2-hidroksiasetofenon dengan 2-bromo-4,5-dimetoksibenzaldehida.. Sintesis dilakukan dengan metode refluks dalam kondisi basa menggunakan katalis NaOH dan metanol sebagai pelarut selama 24 jam. Struktur hasil sintesis senyawa turunan kalkon dianalisis dengan FTIR, KLT-scanner, GC-MS, MS-direct, 1H-NMR dan 13C-NMR. Uji antibakteri dilakukan dengan metode difusi cakram (sumuran) terhadap bakteri Bacillus subtilis dan Escherichia coli. Seri konsentrasi senyawa meliputi 1%, 5%, 10%, dan 20% serta digunakan kontrol positif 4-isopropil-3-metilfenol 1%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sintesis senyawa turunan kalkon menghasilkan padatan berwarna kuning dengan rendemen sebesar 78,45%. Daya hambat senyawa kalkon dan 4-isopropil-3-metilfenol sebagai kontrol positif hampir sama untuk kedua bakteri yaitu 15 mm untuk Bacillus substilis dan 13 mm untuk Escherichia coli. Selain itu, uji daya hambat senyawa turunan kalkon terhadap bakteri Bacillus substillis lebih baik dibandingkan pada bakteri Escherichia coli pada konsentrasi 20% dengan zona hambat berturut-turut sebesar 19,7 dan 17,7 nm.

Abstract

The quality of milkfish (Chanos chanos) in ponds cultivation is low. Small body size, pale body surface, odor of mud and low nutritional value cause not compete in the retail market, due to ponds experiencing burnout due to excessive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The aim of this study was improved the quality of milkfish farming with earthworm flour (Lumbricus rubellus) (TCT). Adding TCT to feed with four different treatments for 30 days. The results showed that the administration of 5%, 10% and 15% TCT, could improve the quality of milkfish ponds, both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative improvement aspects, namely the surface of the fish's body was brighter, scales cleaner and whiter, the smell of mud was not felt, while the achievement of quantitative aspects was the fish's weight increased sharply in the range of 1.465% - 1.846% per day and omega-3 levels increased in the range of 1.9834 % - 5,5693% and omega-6 increased in the range of 1.4993% - 4.8796% or an increased of nearly 10 times each compared to levels of omega-3 and omega-6 milkfish samples without TCT

Abstract

Research on the adsorption of Mn (II) ions has been carried out using  biomass duckweed (Lemna minor linn) with the esterified by citric acid. This study aims to determine the maximum adsorption capacity of Mn (II) ions in using adsorbent biomass of duckweed esterified by citric acid. Water nail biomass adsorbents were characterized using FTIR to determine the functional groups of citric acid esterified adsorbents. The stages of this research include modification of water biomass using citric acid, followed by manganese (II) ion adsorption tests with pH variations in pH, contact time of adsorption and initial concentration variations under optimum conditions. The results showed that optimum adsorption occurred at pH  5, contact time for 10 minutes and the concentration of Mn (II) solution 15 mg / L was measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The equation used in the study follows the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. Based on the Langmuir isotherm equation, the maximum adsorption capacity of Mn (II) ion using citric acid modified water nail biomass is  7,645 mg/ g, the equilibrium constant is 4,317 L/ mol and the adsorption energy is 36,84039 KJ / mol.

Abstract

The study of the decolorization of Malachite Green in solution using the Fenton reagent has been investigated. The effects of different reaction parameters such as hydrogen peroxide concentration, iron ion concentration, pH of the solution, and initial dye concentration have been carried out. In this study the experimental range for H2O2 concentrations varied from 0.2 mM to 4 mM and Fe2+ ions were 0.01-0.1 mM. All experiments were carried out at room temperature of 27 oC. Furthermore, the optimal oxidation condition with the concentration of MG dyes of 20 mg/L was with H2O2 0.5 mM, Fe2+ 0.05 mM, and pH at 3. The dye decolorization process of MG was also observed kinetically, it was found that the degradation process took place with first-order reaction rate. Under optimal conditions, the dye solution with a concentration of 20 mg/L completely decolorized within 60 minutes at 27ºC, and 76% of the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) was removed. This proves that MG was not only decolorized but also mineralized.

Abstract

This study examined the content of banana peel. The research began with an extraction  process then continued with phytochemical tests.  Qualitatively result showed banana peel contain quite complex secondary metabolites including flavonoids, saponins, phenolics, tannins, steroids and triterpenoids for Muli banana peels and flavonoids, saponins, phenolics, tannins, and triterpenoids for Kepok banana peels. Qualitative tests were conducted to detect total phenolic and flavonoid content using Microplate Reader.  Flavonoids averaged 19.797 mg QE / g for  Muli banana peel and for Kepok banana peel 15, 529 mg QE / g. The measurement results of the total phenolic content  of Muli banana peel was 108.336 mg GAE / g and for Kepok banana 32, 496 mg GAE / g. Antioxidant activity for Muli banana peels has an IC50 value of 27, 56 µg / ml which means it belongs to a group with high antioxidant activity and Kepok banana 479.77 µg / ml which is classified as a low antioxidant activity but still within the range of potential values as antioxidant. From this research, it is known that both  of types banana peels have the potential as raw material for developing products with high antioxidant levels  Keywords: Banana peels, antioxidants, secondary metabolites

Abstract

Plants produce primary and secondary metabolite compounds depending on their growth conditions. The tea plant (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze that hosts Loranthus produces different metabolites compared to those not hosting. This study aims to determine the change in the thin layer chromatography pattern (TLC) of leaf and stem tea extract that is the host 3 types of Loranthus tea namely Loranthus atropurpureus, Loranthus cochinchinensis, and Loranthus pentandrus. Leaf and stem tea extracts that host 3 types of Loranthus were separated using TLC with stationary phase of silica gel 60 F254 and the mobile phase of DCM: MeOH: n-hex (48:1:1). Separation results was detected using UV lamps 254 and 366 nm. The changes of the band's area of each extract were determined using software ImageJ. The results showed a change in TLC patterns. The declining band's area was found in bands detected at 366 nm for the host's stem and tea leaves. The increasing band's areawere found on bands detected at 254 nm especially on tea leaves that host. In conclusion, the change in TLC pattern can be used to determine the compounds that change due to tea plants to host and can be alternative utilization.
