Chili is widely used in many food products, especially in Indonesia food. Sometimes a synthetic dye, i.e., rhodamine B or red textile dye were found in commercial chili powder. A fast, precise and accurate analytical method is necessary to authenticate chili powders from the two synthetics dye as they can cause a health problem. A combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy and chemometrics (multivariate analysis) were used in this study to detect rhodamine B and red textile dye present in chili powder samples. Authentication of chili powder from the two dyes by principal component analysis (PCA) with absorbance data from the UV-Vis spectra of samples was not able to classify all of the samples into each group (pure and adulterated chili powder). Fortunately, by using principal component analysis-discriminant analysis (PCA-DA), approximately 89 and 86% of chili samples mixed with rhodamine B and commercial red textile dye were successfully classified into their corresponding group respectively. The combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy with PCA-DA could be used for fast authentication of chili powder from rhodamine B and textile dye used in this study.

Preparation and characterization of a novel cocrystal of atorvastatin calcium with succinic acid coformer were successfully performed. This research aims to modify the crystalline form of atorvastatin calcium through cocrystallization with succinic acid coformer. The cocrystal was prepared by a solvent evaporation method and characterized by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The atorvastatin calcium-succinic acid cocrystal has new crystalline peaks at 2θ of 12.9, 18.2 and 26.7° indicating the formation of a new crystalline phase. The cocrystal showed the melting point at 205.7 °C with an enthalpy of fusion 30.2 J/g which is different from the initial components. The FTIR spectra of cocrystal showed the shifting of absorption peaks of groups of initial components indicating of formation of atorvastatin calcium-succinic acid cocrystal through acid–amide intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions. The solubility and dissolution test showed that the cocrystal has solubility and dissolution rate significantly higher than the solubility and dissolution rate of pure atorvastatin calcium.

Analysis of impurity in powder samples has been made by using metal-assisted laser-induced plasma spectroscopy utilizing a pulsed CO2 laser. Various powders including food powder, supplement powder, baby powder, and medicine powder were employed as sample materials. Experimentally, the powder sample was tightly put in a hole made on a metal plate and a metal mesh was placed on the powder surface. A pulse CO2 laser (10.6 μm, 1500 mJ) was irradiated on the powder surface passing through the metal mesh. Luminous plasma was induced by mesh just above the mesh when a part of laser energy attacked the mesh. The other part of laser energy impinged the powders and ablated fine particles of powder to the plasma to be atomized and excited. Identification and analysis of elements in powder were successfully conducted. A linear calibration curve of Cu in baby powder has been demonstrated with an intercept zero, certifying that the present technique was a high possibility to be employed for semi-quantitative analysis of elements in powder material. It was proved that by applying the present technique and employing a condensation technique, the detection sensitivity of Cr impurity in the powder sample increased about twenty times compared to the case without condensation. The limit of detection of Cr in rice powder sample was 25 mg/kg. The proposed method was very convenient for the identification and analysis of elements in the powder sample.

The cloud point technique was effectively utilized for extraction and pre-concentration of nickel(II) in urine samples before measurement by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and AAS techniques. The metal response to a para-aminophenol (PAP) reagent in a non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 medium was to form the Ni-PAP complex. The adopted concentration for PAP, concentration of Triton X-114, pH effect and water bath temperature, incubation time, salt effect, and interference effects were all optimized. The calibration curve was linear over the range of (0.0625–1.25) mg L–1 with a correlation coefficient r2 of 0.9682 for the UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a λmax of 629 nm. The limit of detection was 0.005 mg/L. The relative standard deviation for six replicates was 1.07%. This method was applied successfully to determine copper (II) concentrations in 44 urine samples of occupational worker samples as determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and FAAS techniques.

Transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) for fatty acid methyl ester synthesis using calcium oxide (CaO) as a catalyst with absence and presence of free fatty acid (FFA) pretreatment (untreated and pretreated) prior to reaction have been investigated. The preliminary study was started from theoretical stoichiometric amount molar ratio of methanol to oil. This preliminary experiment showed that indeed, in transesterification with the chemical catalyst the molar ratio of methanol to oil should be exceeding the theoretical stoichiometric molar ratio, due to the fast reversible reaction. The highest FAME content of 81% was achieved at a temperature of 75 °C with pretreated FFA. The composition of methyl ester with pretreated FFA was affected by temperature, where increasing temperature leads to increasing of methyl oleate as major methyl ester in the product. The relation of temperature dependence was further studied by Arrhenius law correlation. It is shown that activation energy was affected by pretreatment of fatty acid. The activation energy (Ea) of transesterification with untreated and pretreated free fatty acid were found as ± 16 kJ/mol and ± 68 kJ/mol, respectively. Unlike untreated FFA, the Ea of transesterification with pretreated FFA was within the range of activation energy for transesterification for the base catalyst. This study showed that methyl ester synthesis was best obtained when FFA was pretreated prior to transesterification. In addition, WCO is a potential feedstock for biodiesel production since it is biodegradable, economic, environmentally friendly and abundantly available.

In this work, a bio-composite sorbent, alginate incorporated graphene oxide (Alg/GO) is prepared for the micro solid phase extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) from water samples. The sorbent was prepared in a suspended solution form at a ratio of 0.3:1 (w/v %) of graphene oxide (GO) and alginate (Alg). The chemical structure, morphology and surface area of the composite beads were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). GO showed good miscibility and well dispersion through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions within the Alg matrix. The synthesized sorbent was applied for the determination of the selected drugs in a tap water sample using micro-solid phase extraction technique and was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV). The results showed good linearity in the range of 10–1000 µg L–1 with correlation coefficients (r ≥ 0.9979), low detection limits (LOD) between 3.1–4.6 µg L–1, excellent relative recoveries in the range of 99.6–102.1% and good reproducibility (RSD ≤ 3.9%). Thus, these validated results showed that Alg/GO could be potential and useful as a bio-composite sorbent for micro-solid phase extraction for the analysis of targeted drugs from aqueous matrices.

This research aims to investigate the effect of crude palm oil (CPO) as a plasticizer in polypropylene blown film on thermal and dynamic mechanical properties. Polypropylene (PP) was blended with 1, 3, and 5% of CPO using a twin screw extruder. The extruded samples were blown using the blown thin film technique. The samples were analyzed using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). From the dynamic mechanical analysis, the storage modulus and loss modulus for PP presented decreasing pattern about 3–5% due to the action of CPO as plasticizer which introduced free volume and enabled the polyolefins chains to deform more easily. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of PP were found being shifted to lower temperature from 10 to 1 °C with the increasing CPO content. The fraction of crystallization was determined using DSC. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that the incorporation of CPO as plasticizer showed a small increased effect in the thermal stability for PP. These findings have contributed new knowledge to the additives area and give important implications for designing and manufacturing polymer packaging materials.

High specific activity is a necessity in the fabrication of 99Mo/99mTc radioisotope generators. Recoil reaction, or the Szilard-Chalmers effect, is a method that could be used as an alternative method for increasing specific activity in radioisotope production in light of tightening regulation of highly enriched uranium (HEU) irradiation. Phthalocyanine compounds are usually used as the target material in recoil reactions for the production of high specific radioisotope activity via the (n,γ) reaction. Molybdenum phthalocyanine (Mo-Pc) could be a promising target material in recoil reactions for producing high specific activity of 99Mo. Mo-Pc was synthesized via solid-state reaction between ammonium heptamolybdate and phthalonitrile in a reflux system at 300 °C for 3 h. This optimum condition was identified after performing several variations of temperature and time of reaction, considering FTIR spectra, the yield of product and melting point of the product. XRD measurement showed that Mo-Pc synthesized at optimum condition was free from MoO2, phthalimide and unreacted molybdenum. Mo-Pc has UV-vis properties of Q-band absorption between 600 and 750 nm when dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide and trifluoroacetic acid. Splitting at absorption peak in tetrahydrofuran and dimethylformamide solution indicated that protonation had occurred. This split peak did not appear in a trifluoroacetic acid solution. In the preliminary study of irradiation of 1 g Mo-Pc at 3.5x1012 n cm–2 s–1 neutron flux, followed by dissolution in tetrahydrofuran and extraction of Mo-99 into NaOH, we obtained Mo-99 solution with a specific activity of 682.35 mCi/g Mo, this being 254.61 times higher than in the regular MoO3 target.

Bacterial lipases have significant potential to be used as the biocatalyst for many chemical reactions. In this study, a novel gene encoding lipase was isolated from an Alcaligenes sp. JG3. A pair of designed primer has successfully isolated 1 kb (LipJG3) that shares 98% identity towards lipase from Alcaligenes faecalis during sequence analysis. By using in silico tools, LipJG3 was related to the transporter protein sequences. Three highly conserved regions consisting of EASGSKT, VILLD, and LSGGQQQRVAIA were found. These regions were known as ATP-binding signature at Walker-A and Walker-B motifs and the S signature of ABC transporter family respectively. In addition, the 3-D structure of LipJG3 has been suggested but the role of the catalytic triad residues have been not fully understood.

Four pyrazoline analogues, 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-naphthalene-1-yl-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-pyrazole (3), 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-naphthalene-1-yl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (4), 3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-5-naphthalene-1-yl-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-pyrazole (5) and 3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-5-naphthalene-1-yl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (6) were synthesized via intermolecular cyclization between substituted chalcones and hydrazine derivatives. The compounds were synthesized in two steps. In the first step, the chalcones were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt reaction. In the second step, they were cyclized with some hydrazine derivatives to form pyrazolines by using glacial acetic acid as a catalyst and assisted by microwave irradiation. The toxicity analysis showed that compound 1 and 2 were toxic with LC50 values of 11.47 and 0.97 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, only compound 6 showed high antioxidant activity by using DPPH with an IC50 value of 4.47 μg/mL.
