Abstract

Tris yolk is a diluent that can be used to maintain and protect spermatozoa during storage so that they can be used in the process of artificial insemination. The length of storage greatly affects the motility and viability of spermatozoa in semen. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of long storage of egg yolk tris diluent on the motility and viability of simental bovine spermatozoa. This research was carried out at the Banyumulek Artificial Insemination Center Laboratory, West Nusa Tenggara Province, from July to Desember 2024. The study of the effect of long storage of egg yolk tris diluent on the motility and viability of simental bovine spermatozoa used a randomized experimental method complete with four treatments and six repeats. Each treatment, namely P1, P2, P3, and P4, was carried out by mixing 0.075 ml of semen and 0.3 ml of egg yolk tris diluent stored for 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. The data obtained were processed by variety analysis method (ANOVA) and Duncan's further test. The results showed that P1 treatment with a storage period of 24 hours resulted in the highest average motility and viability values of 63.33 ± 6.055 % for motility and 63.50 ± 6.892 % for spermatozoa viability. P4 treatment with a storage period of 96 hours still showed a good mean value with motility values of 40.83 ± 7.360 % and spermatozoa viability of 53.50 ± 12.112 %. Thus, egg yolk tris is suitable for use as a semen thinner for artificial insemination because it is able to maintain the motility and viability of spermatozoa even for a long time of 96 hours.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effects of temperature and Aloe vera concentration on the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of mixed mulberry (Morus alba) jam. Jam is a semi-solid fruit and sugar-based product that requires a thickening agent to achieve optimal texture. Aloe vera was selected as a natural thickening alternative due to its polysaccharide content, such as acemannan and glucomannan, which can form gels, replacing expensive and import-dependent commercial pectin. The research employed a quantitative experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), involving four treatment combinations of Aloe vera concentration (75 g and 100 g) and cooking temperature (70°C and 85°C). The parameters tested included physicochemical properties such as viscosity, fiber content, and vitamin C levels, along with organoleptic evaluations involving 25 panelists to assess viscosity and taste. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and an effectiveness test to identify the best treatment. The results showed that the combination of 100 g Aloe vera concentration and a cooking temperature of 85°C produced the best-quality jam, characterized by optimal viscosity, high fiber content, preserved vitamin C levels, and high panelist preference for viscosity and taste. This conclusion highlights the potential of Aloe vera as a cost-effective and value-added natural thickening agent for the food industry.

Abstract

Skin dehydration is a common issue affecting 40–50% of the adult population, resulting in dry, rough, and dull skin, as well as itching, irritation, and premature aging. The "back to nature" trend has increased interest in natural skincare products that are more environmentally friendly and gentler on the skin. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a popular natural ingredient known for its ability to maintain skin moisture and provide protection. This study aims to develop a liquid soap formulation using VCO to address skin dehydration. The research methods included formulation and evaluation of liquid soap through organoleptic testing, foam stability, specific gravity, pH, as well as hedonic and irritation tests. The results showed that: (1) Formula III met all physical evaluation parameters, including organoleptic characteristics, foam stability and height, specific gravity, and pH, in accordance with SNI standards; (2) Formula III was the most preferred by panelists in the hedonic test and caused no skin irritation based on irritation test results. Therefore, Formula III can be concluded as the optimal formulation for VCO-based liquid bath soap.

Abstract

Diarrhea is one of the diseases caused by symptoms of intestinal tract infections due to various microorganisms. Goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn) is a wild weed that has long been used as a traditional medicine, attributed to its phytochemical compounds such as tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids. This study aims to evaluate the antidiarrheal effects of Eleusine indica extract by comparing six treatment groups: a healthy group, a negative control group (Na-CMC), a positive control group (Loperamide 2 mg), and three variations of the extract dosage. Observations were made over 360 minutes at 30-minute intervals, using a fecal consistency scale from 1 (solid) to 5 (liquid). LC-MS/QToF analysis identified 25 secondary metabolites in the extract, including flavonoids (Schaftoside, Orientin, Vitexin, Tricin), phenolic compounds, and terpenoids. In vivo testing showed that the third dose of Eleusine indica grass extract had the most optimal antidiarrheal effect among the three doses, as evidenced by its ability to reduce diarrhea frequency, decrease fecal weight, shorten diarrhea duration, and improve fecal consistency, approaching the effectiveness of Loperamide 2 mg as a positive control. These findings suggest the potential of Eleusine indica extract as a promising natural antidiarrheal agent.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest biodiversity in the world. However, this high diversity requires individual awareness and responsibility to maintain and utilize it sustainably. Therefore, biodiversity literacy is an important element, especially for students as prospective future generations who will play a role in natural resource management in the future. This study aims to evaluate the level of biodiversity literacy of students of the Biology study program at the University of Education Mandalika, by assessing six dimensions of biodiversity literacy: Conservation and Importance of Biodiversity (CIB), Ethics and Biodiversity (EB), Sustainability and Biodiversity (SB), Taking Action to Protect Biodiversity (TAPB), Biodiversity and Utility (BU), and Conservation and Importance of Species (CIS).  The method used was quantitative descriptive, involving 50 students as respondents. The instrument used consisted of 27 items that were analyzed using One Way ANOVA to determine the average score and significant differences based on gender and student scores. The results showed that the average score of biodiversity literacy obtained a score of 2.08 with a less significant category (Low Biodiversity Literacy). Most of the indicators are at an average value below 2.50, only a small number of indicators have an average value above 2.50. In the CIB dimension, only 3 indicators have an average value of > 2.50 out of 5 indicators. In the TAPB dimension, only 1 indicator has an average > 2.50. While in other dimensions, the average value < 2.50. In addition, there was no significant difference in student scores based on gender. Thus, student biodiversity literacy still needs to be improved, especially in the aspects of real action and individual responsibility.

Abstract

Fish have a body defense system to protect themselves from various threats originating from the aquatic environment. One of the outermost defense mechanisms in the fish body is skin mucus. Mucus on fish skin is composed of water, glycoproteins, enzymes, antibodies, and other organic compounds. Through proteomic screening analysis, we can investigate the types and abundance of major proteins in fish mucosal exosomes. The aim of this study was to analyze the molecular weight of proteins in the surface mucus of mutiara catfish, and to identify the proteins detected in the mucus of mutiara catfish. The research method uses a descriptive method. The characterization process using SDS-PAGE. Analysis of protein molecular weight is obtained by measuring the displacement distance (Rf) in the sample. The molecular weight of proteins detected in mutiara catfish mucus had a molecular weight of 7.10 kDa, 13.51 kDa, 15.46 kDa, 28.78 kDa, 30.72 kDa, 42.40 kDa and 69.17 kDa. Proteins found abundantly in the mucus on the surface of catfish skin have a molecular weight ranging from 7-15 kDa, where this protein has various roles including immune defense, regulation of metabolism, oxidative stress, and the nervous system, stress regulation, regulation of cellular function, muscle contraction, and nervous system function. It can be concluded that the proteins found in the mucus on the surface of catfish skin are mostly small-sized proteins and have a major role in body defense, immune protection, and adaptation to environmental stress. These proteins are very important in maintaining fish health.
