Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of black glutinous rice flour and cornstarch on the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of gluten-free sponge rolls, and find the best combination of the two ingredients. This study was conducted using a Complete Random Design (RAL) which has one factor and consists of four treatments. The treatment consisted of varying the proportion of black glutinous rice flour (H) and cornstarch (M) with the same total amount of flour (60 g) in each treatment, namely H1:M1 (60g:0g), H2:M2 (54g:6g), H3:M3 (48g:12g), and H4:M4 (42g:18g) which were repeated three times each. The results of the study show that for the manufacture of gluten-free sponge rolls, the H4M4 treatment is recommended as the best formulation because it provides the most optimal results compared to other treatments. Statistically, the H4M4 treatment showed a marked difference in some of the parameters tested (p<0.05). The formulation in the H4M4 treatment contains a crude fiber content of 2%, a moisture content of 50.91%, a development capacity of 66.19%, and a stability of 100%. The results of the likability level test showed a taste value of 4.30 (likes), aroma 4.17 (likes), color 4.25 (likes), and softness of 4.45 (likes), and produced the highest effectiveness value of 0.82.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of gandaria fruit extract (Bouea macrophylla Griff.) on CD36 gene expression in the brains of CCl₄-induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). The experiment employed a completely randomized design consisting of five groups: negative control, positive control (CCl₄), and three treatment groups administered gandaria fruit extract at doses of 100, 150, and 200 mg/kgBW. CD36 gene expression was assessed using semi-quantitative PCR, normalized to the GAPDH reference gene, and analyzed based on band density using ImageJ software. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc testing at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results demonstrated that CCl₄ induction increased CD36 expression by 1.9-fold compared to the control group. Administration of gandaria fruit extract reduced CD36 expression relative to the CCl₄ group, with the lowest fold change observed at 100 mg/kgBW (1.08), while higher doses showed relatively increased expression but remained lower than the positive control. These findings indicate that gandaria fruit extract has the potential to modulate CD36 gene expression under CCl₄-induced oxidative stress conditions, with the most effective response observed at the lowest dose.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Typha angustifolia L. as a phytoremediation agent in reducing Pb and Cu concentrations in river water. The research employed a true experimental method using a completely randomized design with three biomass treatments (0 g, 80 g, and 160 g), each conducted in triplicate at two independently treated observation stations. The incubation period lasted seven days, during which metal concentrations were measured on days 0, 3, and 7 using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results demonstrated that the 160 g biomass treatment achieved the highest remediation efficiency. On day 7, Pb concentrations were reduced by 98.87% at Station 1 and 98.13% at Station 2, while Cu concentrations decreased by 91.76% and 94.88% at Stations 1 and 2, respectively. Statistical analysis using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test indicated a significant effect of treatment on metal reduction (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that Typha angustifolia L. is effective as a phytoremediation agent, with remediation efficiency increasing with greater biomass and longer contact time, highlighting its potential application as an environmentally friendly solution for heavy metal pollution control.

Abstract

People with diabetes mellitus experience anxiety because the condition is considered a scary disease that has complex adverse effects on their anxiety levels. Uncontrolled diabetes often results in increased blood sugar levels. The chronic condition known as diabetes mellitus is caused by insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or inefficient use of insulin by the body. The purpose of this study was to determine how anxiety affects blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus at the Praya Health Center. This type of research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample of 140 respondents was determined by Random Sampling with the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (ZSAS) Questionnaire, an instrument used to measure a person's anxiety level. Based on the results of the study, the level of anxiety on blood sugar levels has a significant effect with a linier regeration statistical test obtained a coefficient value indicating that if the anxiety value increases by 1 unit, then the GDS will increase by 1.594 units, which means there is an influence and a significant value of 0.001 < (0.005) between the level of anxiety and blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 DM at the Praya Health Center

Abstract

Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli remain a health problem, especially due to increasing antibiotic resistance. Therefore, antibacterial alternatives from natural materials are needed, one of which is the chlorophyll pigment from Mimosa pudica Linn. This study aims to test the antibacterial activity of chlorophyll from young and old leaves of M. pudica Linn and compare the inhibitory power of both against test bacteria. This study is an experimental study that includes the preparation of simple drugs, ethanol extraction, liquid-liquid fractionation, purification using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography, and antibacterial testing by disc diffusion method using standard bacterial inoculum McFarland 0.5. The purification results showed an Rf value of 0.87 with one spot indicating pure chlorophyll fraction. The antibacterial activity of chlorophyll is relatively weak, but the chlorophyll fraction of old leaves showed greater inhibitory power than young leaves. The highest inhibition zone against S. aureus was obtained from old leaf chlorophyll of 4.00 ± 1.01 mm, while against E. coli it was 2.54 ± 0.52 mm.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of basil seed simplicia supplementation in feed to mitigate histomorphometric alterations and muscle damage in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) exposed to polystyrene (PS) microplastics. The experiment employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments: C (0 mg/L PS microplastics + 0% basil seed simplicia), PC (0 mg/L PS microplastics + 2% basil seed simplicia), NC (100 mg/L PS microplastics + 0% basil seed simplicia), T1 (100 mg/L PS microplastics + 2% basil seed simplicia), and T2 (100 mg/L PS microplastics + 4% basil seed simplicia). A total of 125 catfish were exposed to microplastics for 15 days. The observed parameters included myofiber diameter, myofiber area, muscle degeneration, and necrosis. The results indicated that exposure to PS microplastics significantly decreased myofiber diameter and area while increasing the levels of muscle cell degeneration and necrosis (P < 0.05). Supplementation with 2% basil seed simplicia (T1) significantly improved myofiber diameter and area and reduced muscle degeneration and necrosis compared with the negative control (NC), whereas supplementation with 4% basil seed simplicia (T2) showed relatively lower effectiveness. These findings suggest that supplementation of 2% basil seed simplicia in feed has the potential to mitigate histomorphometric alterations and muscle tissue damage in catfish exposed to polystyrene microplastics.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze biomass quantity, carbon reserves, carbon sequestration, and to determine the environmental value of carbon sequestration in the agroforestry area of LPHN Sungai Buluh Padang Pariaman. This is because agroforestry areas can also play a role in carbon sequestration in addition to their economic function for the community. This study was conducted using purposive sampling to determine the location of 30 observation plots. Data collection was carried out using destructive sampling for undergrowth and litter data and non-destructive sampling for tree and sapling strata data. The results of this study were a total biomass of 280.768 tons/ha, total carbon reserves obtained from the biomass value of 131.955 tons/ha, and total carbon sequestration of 484.294 tons/ha. Meanwhile, the environmental service value of carbon sequestration was IDR 82,566,423,881.28/ton/year. The environmental service value obtained from this research location is relatively low compared to studies conducted in other locations, primarily due to the limited vegetation types and small study area.
