Abstract

People on Benteng Tengah, Nangamese and Latung have been living in Flores Island and smaller island nearby Flores, like Ontoloe, long before the establishment of national park. In 1992 and 1996, the government established Nature Conservation of Wolo Tado, Nature Conservation of Riung and Marine Nature Conservation of 17 Pulau. This decision led to government’s policy to prohibit the opening of land by burning. Local people used to open a land for agricultural purpose by setting a fire in order to regenerate the savanna to promoting the growth of young grass leaves. People use young grass to feed their cattle. This prohibition causes the people had to herd their cattle far from they live. As the consequence, threat from Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) to attack cattle is increased and people consider Komodo as pest that has to be terminated. This research aimed to study people’s knowledge about Komodo status as endangered species and its implication. Data were collected from people who lives in Benteng Tengah, Nangamese, and Latung, Regency of Ngada, East Nusa Tenggara. Data were obtained from respondents using interviews and questionnaires. Perception of local people who lives in Benteng Tengah (93%), Nangamese (93%) and Latung (100%) showed that people are aware about Komodo’s habitat vegetation. Good perception on Komodo and habitat vegetation will maintain komodo sustainability.

Abstract

Informasi mengenai keamanan penggunaan rumput Knop (Hyptis capitata Jacq.) sebagai obat tradisionalmasih terbatas. Uji keamanan melalui uji toksisitas penting untuk dilakukan sebelum dilakukan uji manfaatlebih lanjut. Salah satu uji toksisitas akut yang dapat dilakukan sebagai uji toksisitas tahap awal adalah ujitoksisitas akut dengan metode Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). Daun rumput Knop diekstrak dengan penyarietanol dengan metode maserasi. Ekstrak etanol daun rumput Knop dengan konsentrasi 1000, 500, 250, 125 dan62,5 µg/ml dipaparkan pada larva Artemia salina (L.) selama 24 jam. Tingkat toksisitas ditentukan berdasarkannilai LC50 yang diperoleh berdasarkan jumlah larva yang mati, melalui analisis probit. Kandungan fitokimiaekstrak etanol daun rumput Knop diuji melalui uji fitokimia kualitatif. Nilai LC50 ekstrak etanol daun rumputKnop sebesar 183,91 µg/ml. Ekstrak etanol daun rumput Knop mengandung alkaloid dan steroid.

Abstract

Sungai Winongo memiliki peran cukup penting di masyarakat kota Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini bertujuanuntuk mengetahui konsentrasi Pb ada air, sedimen (batu, kerikil, pasir dan lempung) dan tiga organ ikan Nila(Oreochromis niloticus) serta ikan Bawal (Colossoma macropomum) yaitu organ viscera, tulang dan daging. Sampeldiperoleh dari tiga titik yaitu bagian hulu, tengah dan hilir. Total 120 sampel diekstraksi menggunakan metodeaqua regia digestible dengan perbandingan larutan HCl : HNO3(3:1, v/v) dan ekstrak dianalisis menggunakanAtomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Ditemukan rata-rata konsentrasi Pb pada air (0,054 mg/L), sedimen(38,29 mg/kg), ikan Nila ( viscera 11,35 mg/kg; tulang 10,28 mg/kg; daging 6,46 mg/kg ), dan ikan Bawal (viscera 5,31 mg/kg; 9,85 mg/kg; daging 5,23 mg/kg ). Konsentrasi Pb pada air telah melebihi batas baku mutuPPRI No. 82 Th 2001 (0,03mg/L). Konsentrasi pada ketiga bagian ikan Nila dan Bawal yang diteliti (viscera,tulang, daging) telah melebihi batas baku mutu yang ditetapkan oleh SNI 7387:2009 (0,3 mg/kg).

Abstract

Hand sanitizer is nowadays known as a part of one’s personal hygiene kit because of its practical use andeffectivity against skin microbes, such as Staphylococcus aureus. The common commercial hand sanitizers are madefrom alcohol which may have negative side effect like skin irritation. Utilization of active compounds from a plantthat has antibacterial compounds might be applied to the substitution of alcohol in the formulation of hand sanitizer.In this study, phytochemical compounds from Citrus reticulata and Citrus aurantifolia peel extracts were testedqualitatively and their antibacterial acitivity on Staphylococcus aureus were tested using disk diffusion method. Theresults showed that Citrus reticulata peel extract at the concentration of 70% was the most effective concentration ininhibiting Staphylococcus aureus. This certain concentration of Citrus reticulata peel extract was then chosen in the gelhand sanitizer formulation. Application of gel hand sanitizer with Citrus reticulata peel extract as its active compoundon the hands of respondents were also observed to inhibit bacterial growth. The use of peel extracts from Citrusspp, especially from Citrus reticulata might be potential in the formulation of non-alcohol based gel hand sanitizer.

Abstract

Food poisoning caused by the contamination from Staphylococcus aureus are frequently found in foodespecially in dairy products. Pasteurization process in milk production was not enough to kill S. aureus becauseit formed biofilm that could survive in high temperature. This research aimed to study the presence of biofilmforming S. aureus in samples from packed commercial milk products in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. Twentyisolates from dairy products were grown in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth then inoculated into Braid-ParkerAgar (BPA) medium to get the candidate of S. aureus isolates. These isolate candidates were selected usingMannitol Salt Agar (MSA) and Congo Red Agar (CRA) medium. Another selection was done by carbohydratefermentation analysis and confirmed using API STAPH. Confirmation analysis showed that eight isolateswere identified as S. aureus. Another two isolates were identified as S. xylosus and S. haemolyticus. Therefore,it indicated the presence of Staphylococcus aureus as contaminant in dairy products.

Abstract

Biji kesambi mengandung beberapa jenis asam lemak seperti asam miristat, asam palmitat, asam stearat,asam arakidat, asam oleat dan asam linoleat. Proses perkecambahan merupakan tahap awal perkembangantumbuhan berbiji yang didukung oleh peran enzim. Enzim lipase berperan untuk mengatur kecepatanpemecahan lemak dan sintesis lemak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aktivitas hidrolisis ekstrakkasar lipase kecambah biji kesambi dan kadar protein dalam ekstrak kasar lipase kecambah biji kesambi. Hasilpenelitian ini menunjukan aktivitas hidrolisis ekstrak kasar lipase kecambah biji kesambi tertinggi adalah harike 13 sebesar 41,3 U/ml, kadar protein tertinggi pada hari ke 13 sebesar 1,11 gr/mL, aktivitas spesifik tertinggipada hari ke 11 sebesar 69,20 U/gr, sehingga penggunaan kecambah biji kesambi pada usia kecambah 11 haridirekomendasikan sebagai sumber lipase.
