Abstract

This research aims to determine the volatile compounds present in Grewia bulot leaf extracts and evaluate their cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. The volatile constituents of the n-hexane and dichloromethane extracts were identified by using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The main compounds identified in the former were neophytadiene (18.2%), methyl palmitate (14.4%), methyl linoleate (9.7%), β-sitosterol (4.5%), and methyl stearate (3.4%), while those in the latter were palmitic acid (9.8%), hexadecane (7.4%), octadecane (6.0%), neophytadiene (5.3%), and 2-tert-butoxyethanol (5.3%). The cytotoxicities of the extracts were examined against four human cancer cell lines (SK-LU-1, Hep-G2, MCF-7, and KB), while their antioxidant activities were assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The n-hexane and dichloromethane extracts displayed weak activity against these cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 90.60 ± 3.49 to 98.27 ± 2.77 µg/mL. All extracts showed antioxidant activities, and the methanol extract exhibited the strongest at an SC50 value of 9.39 ± 0.90 µg/mL. This is the first report on the volatile constituents and bioactivities of G. bulot leaf extracts, suggesting their potential application as antioxidants.

Abstract

Functionalization of metal-organic frameworks resulting in efficient CO2 adsorption materials became substantial in preventing the worsening environment upon the emission of CO2. In this study, several room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) with an imidazolium-based cation of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [bmim]+ and anions of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [TFSI]−, trifluoromethanesulfonate [OTf]−, hexafluorophosphate [PF6]−, and tetrafluoroborate [BF4]− were incorporated into UiO-66 by wet impregnation method under air. The RTILs/UiO-66 composites were characterized by PXRD, FTIR, TGA, nitrogen physisorption, and CO2 adsorption. Based on the type of anions of imidazolium-based RTILs, the CO2 uptake of RTILs/UiO-66 composites followed the trend: [OTf]− > [TFSI]− > [PF₆]− > [BF₄]− at low temperature (273 K) and pressure (100 kPa). The CO2 uptake of pristine UiO-66 increased approximately 1.5 times upon incorporating [bmim][OTf]. The type of anions of imidazolium-based RTILs influences the CO2 adsorption performance of RTILs/UiO-66 composites in which anions containing fluoroalkyl group ([OTf]−, [TFSI]−) exhibited a higher CO2 uptake compared to inorganic fluorinated anions ([BF4]−, [PF6]−). Hence, the incorporation of hydrophobic imidazolium-based RTILs showed a potential to enhance the performance of UiO-66 for CO2 adsorption application.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to measure the concentrations of selected heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cr, Co, Ni, and Mn) in house dust collected during the summer and winter seasons from Mafraq and Irbid cities, Jordan. The average concentrations (±SD) of the metals were found to be 66.8 (±22.4), 10.8 (±3.75), 366 (±108), 81.6 (±43.9), 7586 (±4304), and 37.2 (±15.4) mg/kg, for Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Cr, respectively, in the summer season. The average concentrations (±SD) of the metals were found to be 92.8 (±65.5), 5.10 (±4.75), 305 (±160), 144 (±163), 5385 (±3812), 27.1 (±15.1), 18.7 (±3.70), 42.2 (±15.1), and 139 (±69.2) mg/kg, for Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cr, Co, Ni, and Mn, respectively, in the winter season. The influence of different heating systems on the concertation of heavy metal was examined by comparing the results obtained in both summer and winter seasons. The concentrations of the metals in this study were compared with those reported by other researchers around the world. This study shows that the significant accumulation of heavy metals in house dust should be considered a serious risk to the health of residents in Mafraq and Irbid cities.

Abstract

Cellulose derivatives from natural resources continuously develop to find the best hydrophobic polymer-based membrane technology performance. This study was conducted to improve the hydrophilicity, performance, and anti-fouling of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane with cellulose acetate (CA) filler synthesized from screw pine (Pandanus tectorius) leaf cellulose. CA was synthesized by the Fischer esterification mechanism and the PVDF membrane was fabricated using the phase inversion method with 0.3% CA concentration. FTIR analysis of CA shows an absorption at 1700 cm−1 suggesting that the hydroxyl group of cellulose had been successfully substituted with an ester group (C=O), and CA has a high degree of substitution (DS) value of 3.50. Adding CA improved the hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties of up to 86.45% of PVDF membranes. Furthermore, CA increased the value of water permeability 2–3 times than pristine PVDF membrane. The presence of CA enhanced the porosity of the PVDF membrane, which promoted the membrane's effectiveness for MB filtering. As a result, CA from screw pine leaf cellulose has promising features as a filler for PVDF membranes and potential dye filtration.

Abstract

The textile sector leaves 80% of effluent untreated. Carcinogenic, mutagenic, and poisonous synthetic colors in textile waste streams harm the ecosystem. Biodegradable natural dyes are safer than synthetic dyes. Merbau sawdust is abundant in Papua but underutilized. Merbau wood (Intsia bijuga) has considerable tannin and dye potential. Tannin diffuses to the surface, coloring it brown in humid air or water. Merbau extract can be dried to make powdered natural dye. This study examines Merbau sawdust extract drying and natural dye quality at different temperatures. The drying process was carried out in a convective oven at 60, 75, and 90 °C. The data showed that the solid product of natural dye was already dried at 60–90 °C within 100 min. The content of tannin in the dried natural dye powder was analyzed by titration method. The tannin content in the solid product was 0.5–0.9 g tannin/g solid. The drying rate during the constant drying rate period is around 0.00137 to 0.00256 g/cm2 min. The effect of drying temperature (60 to 90 °C) on the tannin degradation is insignificant, based on the titration method and FTIR analysis.

Abstract

Nanotechnology explores nanoscale materials that can be used in a wide range of industries such as biotechnology, cosmetics, drug delivery, nanomedicine, and biosensors. Nanoparticles in diverse shapes and sizes can be prepared through physical, chemical, and biological methods. The employment of reducing agents, which will change their form, size range, level of stability, and interaction, is a crucial part thus employing a biological approach is necessary. Chemically generated metal oxide nanoparticles raise considerable issues owing to the usage of hazardous and poisonous chemicals, as well as the potential for conservational impairment. In contrast, the production of silver nanoparticles using the principal method of green synthesis has found a special place in research that is considered more environmentally approachable requiring the use to produce non-toxic nanomaterials. Plants and polymer materials have received a lot of interest in the preparation of nanoparticles since they are renewable and affordable. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of more ecologically friendly synthesis techniques that use plant extracts to make silver nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial agents, as well as toxicity features based on the shape, size range, and phytochemical mechanism of plants.

Abstract

This research is concerned with the synthesis and characterization of a composite material that may be used as a battery electrode. Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) was synthesized from Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, Na2SO4, and NaOH mixed with commercial activated carbon and graphite. The composite formation process was carried out using the hydrothermal method at 110 °C for 5 h. The characterization data indicated the composites produced contained Bi2O3 with a monoclinic crystal system, and Bi2O3 particles were evenly distributed in the composite. The composites were characterized to be mesoporous, with the electrical conductivity reaching 10−1 S m−1. The development of this composite material has potential applications in the field of energy storage, particularly in the development of battery anode.

Abstract

Macaque monkey (Macaca fascicularis) meat (MM) has been reported to be consumed as meatball and soup products in Indonesia. MM is not allowed to be traded in Indonesia and is considered not halal meat; therefore, MM is not allowed to be consumed by Muslim communities. In this study, species-specific primer (SSP) targeting on mitochondrial displacement (D-loop) region coupled with real-time PCR assay was used to identify monkey meat in beef meatballs. The PCR product was also subjected to sequencing in order to ensure the adulteration practice of MM in beef meatballs. The primers were designed and subjected to in silico specificity test using BLAST. The used primers were: forward: 5’-TGACTCCCACCACATCCC-3’ and reverse: 5’-GTGTGGAGCTAGAATATTGAACCG-3’. Real-time PCR assay using SSP targeting on mt-D-loop primers was capable of identifying MM in meatball products, specifically with a detection limit of 0.0078 ng corresponding to 1% MM in beef meatballs. The developed method can be proposed as the standard method for detecting MM in food products intended for halal authentication analysis, provided that DNAs are available in food products.

Abstract

The disposal of dye wastewater has become a major global concern. Meanwhile, microorganisms have shown high potential in the treatment of wastewater pollutants. In this study, the involvement of the Fenton reaction in the biodecolorization and biodegradation of methylene blue (MB) by the brown rot fungus Daedalea dickinsii was investigated. Subsequently, D. dickinsii is a fungus capable of producing hydroxyl radicals (•OH). This experiment was conducted with an initial MB concentration of 75 mg/L, and different incubation times of 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d respectively. The result showed that the Fenton reaction played an important role, and this was demonstrated by the addition of FeSO4 as a Fe2+ source. The removal of MB by D. dickinsii with the addition of Fe2+ reached 91.454% at 28 d in a mineral salt medium. It was higher compared to D. dickinsii culture treatment without Fe2+ addition, 86.427%. Furthermore, the metabolic degradation product was analyzed using LC-TOF/MS and identified as 2-amino-3-hydroxy-5-(methylamino) benzenesulfonic acid and N-(3,4-dihydroxy phenyl)-N-methyl formamide.

Abstract

Solid hydrolysate and biochar 2:1 are synthetic humus from hydrothermal carbonization of chicken feather waste and contain humin that can be isolated by IHSS method. The recalcitrant humin is obtained in solid form. The yield of isolated humin from biochar 2:1 was 44.5%, and humin from solid hydrolysate was 12.7%. Analysis of humin by FTIR indicated the characteristics of complex functional groups. Based on the XRD and TEM tests, humin is formed from amorphous crystals with <14 nm in size and categorized as a superparamagnetic nanoparticle. The surface morphology of humin from solid hydrolysate is in the form of small spheres attached to larger particles, while humin from biochar 2:1 is smoother and has a larger surface area. This synthetic humin contains the nutrients N, O, Si, Cu, S, Mg, Zn, and K based on the EDX test quantitatively supported by AAS analysis. Characteristics of humin, which contains nutrients, are composed of amorphous crystals with complex functional groups during the hydrothermal carbonization process. Their relatively small heterogeneous molecules are stabilized by hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds to form supramolecular compound associations in hour order. This humin content in synthetic humus is expected to increase its utility as a soil improver.
