Abstract

In our earlier study, we managed to find the antibacterial activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of the kesambi bark stem. In our next study, we isolated secondary metabolite compounds from the ethyl acetate fraction of the kesambi stem bark and tested the antibacterial activity of isolates against the bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Separation is carried out by the method of column chromatography. Analysis of stain patterns and purity was performed with thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The test of antibacterial activity was carried out by the Kirby Bauer method. Characterization of pure isolates was performed with IR, 1H -NMR, 13C -NMR and DEPT 135° spectroscopy. The results of the characterization of pure isolates show that the isolated compound is a triterpenoid compound with the name IUPAC compound lup-20(29)-en-3-ol. The results of antibacterial tests showed that the compound lup-20(29)-en-3-ol has antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus which is relatively moderate.

Abstract

This research aimed at assessing the heavy metals concentration in imported Scomber scombrus fish samples purchased from cold rooms in Lagos, Nigeria. The samples were digested using the wet digestion method, and the concentration of Chromium (Cr), Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb), and Cobalt (Co) were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Chromium (Cr) was present in twelve Scomber scombrus samples, and the level ranged from 0.004 to 0.046 mg/kg, while arsenic (As) was present in seven fish samples, with concentrations varying within 0.001 to 0.006 mg/kg. Lead (Pb) was present in eleven samples and not detected in SS5 and SS7. The concentration ranged from 0.004 to 0.062 mg/kg. Cobalt (Co) was present in seven Scomber scombrus samples, the level ranged from 0.004 to 0.046 mg/kg. However, SS3, SS10, and SS13 had lead concentrations above the maximum permissible limit (0.05 mg/kg) recommended by WHO/FAO. This study established the need for Nigerian agencies in charge of food to verify, check and ascertain the safety of imported fish before endorsing them as harmless for citizens' consumption.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a branch of science that investigates materials on a scale of 1-100 nanometers. One method that is often used to create copper nanoparticles is biosynthesis using plant extracts because it is more environmentally friendly, does not use toxic reagents and solvents and the process is simpler. Dragon fruit extract (Hylocereus polyrhizus) has potential as a reducing agent for metal compounds because it contains phenolic and carboxylic groups. This study aimed to synthesize copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) using a bio-reductor in the form of dragon fruit extract with various volume variations of CuSO4, pH variations, and stirring time variations. Red dragon fruit extraction was carried out by the maceration method to obtain extracts from dragon fruit, which were then used as a Cu metal-reducing agent. The resulting Cu nanoparticles were characterized using a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. Based on the data, the highest absorbance value was obtained from the most volume of CuSO4, namely 2 mL with an absorbance peak at a wavelength of 700-750 nm. The optimum pH was obtained at pH 6 with a peak absorbance at a wavelength of 750 nm. The most effective time to obtain the absorbance peak at a wavelength of 700 nm was 15 min.

Abstract

This research focuses on the use of tannin components in tamarind seed coats as a mordant and natural dye in cotton fabrics. Tannins were extracted from the tamarind seed coat by boiling method and then the tannin content was determined. The tannin extract was then used as a natural mordant with the addition of metallic copper sulfate (CuSO4) mordant. Tannin extract is also used as a dye on fabrics with the addition of sodium sulfate (NaSO4). The color strength of the tannins in the fabric was analyzed using a spectrophotometer from the rinse water. The results showed that the cloth that had been given the mordant had a stronger color strength than the cloth without the mordant. The use of mordant was varied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%-owf. The results of the analysis showed the most optimum tannin concentration at 15%-owf. The concentration of tannin used in the coloring process was also varied at concentrations of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%-owf. The results of the analysis show that the concentration of tannin used in the dye does not affect the strength of the color, but only affects the brightness of this color.

Abstract

The analytical method to determine the compound content in both food and cosmetic products must be carried out carefully to ensure the validity of the analysis results. Hydroquinone has been widely found to be used as an active whitening agent in whitening cream. Technological advances have led to illegal whitening creams becoming more accessible online. This study aims to examine the hydroquinone content in the whitening samples cream purchased from e-commerce by various analytical methods, such as FeCl3 reagent, cerimetric titration, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and GC-MS spectrometer compared to the positive control hydroquinone. The results of the hydroquinone content by cerimetric titration and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods were calculated quantitatively. Furthermore, the result compared through statistical tests showed a consistent hydroquinone content for both methods. Contrariwise, the GC-MS method showed negative results due to differences in the extraction process and solvent solubility. Based on the result obtained, can be concluded that all samples of whitening cream did not meet the requirements of BPOM No. 23 of 2019.

Abstract

As the demand for fatty acids increases, the enzymatic process of triglyceride hydrolysis emerges as a promising technology. Compared to microbial lipase, utilization of plant lipase is more practical due to its ease of preparation and cost-efficiency. This work aimed to verify the degree of lipolysis of several novel lipase sources from plants. Novel lipase sources investigated were seeds of kapok (Ceiba pentandra), java almond (Sterculia foetida), pongam (Milletia pinnata), sea mango (Cerbera manghas), tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum), latex of sea mango, aveloz (Euphorbia tirucalli), and jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Several acknowledged plant lipase sources were also compared, i.e. seeds of castor bean (Ricinus communis), physic nut (Jatropha curcas), rice bran (Oryza sativa), latex of frangipani (Plumeria rubra) and papaya (Carica papaya). Plant lipase was utilized in the hydrolysis of olive oil at room temperature. Results for seed and latex lipase were compared and technical issues were reported. Several plant lipases are remarkably active and potential to compete with microorganism lipases in industrial applications.

Abstract

Ni(Co)/Pd nanosized ternary composite materials have been synthesized by the galvanic replacement method. The structure and phase composition of the obtained Ni(Co)/Pd nanostructures were investigated using SEM, EDX and X–ray powder diffraction. The catalytic activity of the synthesized polymetallic Ni(Co)/Pd nanoparticles was studied using the example of the reduction reaction of p–nitrophenol with NaBH4 solution. It was found that in all cases the process of reduction of p–nitrophenol NaBH4 in the presence of Ni(Co)/Pd nanoparticles as a catalyst is described by the first-order kinetic equation for p–nitrophenol. The catalytic activity of the studied nanoparticles based on nickel (Ni) is varied in the following order: Ni < Ni(Co) < Ni(Pd) < Ni(Co)/Pd. It was shown that the decoration of nanoparticles based on d–elements (Ni, Co) with palladium (Pd) significantly increases of their catalytic activity. Moreover, the reduction rate of p–nitrophenol in the presence of Ni(Co)/Pd is almost three times higher, compared to effective catalytic systems known from the references, i. e., such nanosystems can be considered as promising material for the development of new types of magnetically separable catalysts for the production of aminoaromatic compounds.
