Abstract

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that is commonly found in packaged beverages. While moderate consumption provides cognitive and physical benefits, excessive intake may cause adverse health effects, including anxiety disorders, insomnia, cardiovascular diseases, and renal dysfunction. Consequently, accurate and validated analytical methods are essential for determining caffeine levels in commercial beverages. This review evaluates analytical instruments and techniques for caffeine quantification, drawing on national and international studies published between 2015 and 2025. The methods examined include UV-Visible Spectrophotometry, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS), Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC), and High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC). Validation was assessed using parameters such as limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, accuracy, and linearity. The findings indicate that all methods meet acceptable validation criteria. Among them, UPLC demonstrated the highest sensitivity, while HPTLC provided advantages in speed and operational efficiency. Therefore, the choice of method for caffeine determination should be guided by analytical objectives, laboratory resources, and required sensitivity.

Abstract

Face mist is a cosmetic that is included in skin fresheners, is more practical to use, and has the potential to add antioxidants. Vitamin C is one source of antioxidants. Although water-soluble, vitamin C is an antioxidant that oxidizes readily. Sodium metabisulfite must be added to prevent oxidized vitamin C from becoming unstable. Topical treatments containing 0.01–1.0% sodium metabisulfite act as antioxidants. Therefore, a face mist preparation was made with variations in the concentration of sodium metabisulfite, namely 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1%. This study aims to see an increase in the stability of vitamin C face mist preparations with an increase in the concentration of sodium metabisulfite through physicochemical stability testing under real-time storage conditions for 28 days. The parameters to be observed in the stability test include organoleptic test, pH, specific weight, viscosity, and vitamin C levels. The F1 formula with the smallest concentration of sodium metabisulfite (0.25%) has been able to maintain the stability of vitamin C face mist preparations for 28 days of storage

Abstract

Glucose content in confectionery products requires careful monitoring due to its association with serious health conditions including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This study examined glucose levels in three lidah kucing cookie samples from Pontianak Tenggara district retailers to assess nutritional variability in these traditional Indonesian confections. The research employed a dual analytical approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Initial screening utilized Fehling and Benedict reagent tests to confirm glucose presence, followed by precise quantitative analysis using the Nelson-Somogyi method with UV-visible spectrophotometry. The quantitative protocol involved standard solution preparation, calibration curve development, optimal wavelength determination, and triplicate sample measurements to ensure analytical reliability. Qualitative testing confirmed glucose presence in all three samples through positive Fehling and Benedict reactions. Quantitative analysis revealed significant concentration variations among products. Sample A contained 0.227 percent glucose, Sample B demonstrated substantially higher levels at 0.993 percent, while Sample C showed minimal glucose content at 0.004 percent. These results indicate considerable variability in glucose concentrations across commercially available lidah kucing products within the study area. The investigation successfully established glucose presence in all examined samples while documenting substantial differences in glucose concentrations among similar commercial products. These findings highlight the importance of analytical monitoring in traditional confectionery items and demonstrate significant nutritional variation among comparable products in local markets. The results provide essential baseline data for consumer awareness and potential regulatory considerations regarding glucose content in traditional Indonesian baked goods, supporting informed dietary choices and public health initiatives.

Abstract

Black mangrove (Rhizophora mucronata) is recognized as a natural ingredient with potential antidiabetic properties due to the presence of active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins. Conventional antidiabetic drugs like metformin often cause side effects, highlighting the need for safer, natural alternatives. The safety of Rhizophora mucronata leaves has been demonstrated through acute toxicological studies. This study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of Rhizophora mucronata leaf ethanol extract and determine the most effective dose. Unlike previous studies that used maceration and methanol as solvent, this research employed a sonication method with 96% ethanol solvent and collected leaf samples from the Cemare area, West Lombok, to reflect local conditions. Twenty-five mice were divided into five groups: negative control (0.5% Na CMC), positive control (metformin 500 mg/kg body weight), and three test groups receiving extract doses of 62.5; 125; and 250 mg/kg body weight. The first blood sample was taken to measure fasting blood glucose, followed by induction with a 50% glucose solution, and another blood sample was taken after 30 minutes. Then, the test solutions were administered, and blood glucose levels were measured at 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes post-administration. Blood glucose data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 with One Way ANOVA, Post Hoc Tukey, and Paired Sample T-Test. The results showed that doses of 125 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg body weight significantly reduced blood glucose levels (p<0.05), identifying these as the optimal doses. These findings support the potential of Rhizophora mucronata as a safe, natural antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract

Diabetes melitus tipe 2 (DMT2) pada pria kerap disertai penurunan kadar testosteron. Metformin merupakan terapi lini pertama yang efektif mengendalikan glukosa darah, tetapi pengaruhnya terhadap hormon testosteron masih menjadi perdebatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh dosis metformin, usia, perubahan indeks massa tubuh (IMT), serta kadar gula darah sewaktu (GDS) terhadap perubahan kadar testosteron pada pasien pria dengan DMT2. Metode yang digunakan adalah desain pre–post dengan pendekatan kuantitatif analitik pada 79 pasien pria yang menjalani terapi metformin. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi dosis obat, usia, IMT, GDS, dan kadar testosteron total sebelum serta sesudah terapi. Analisis statistik dilakukan menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson, Spearman, Mann-Whitney, dan regresi linear berganda. Hasil menunjukkan adanya perbedaan bermakna kadar testosteron antara kelompok dosis metformin <1500 mg/hari dan ≥1500 mg/hari (p=0,016). Perubahan GDS memiliki hubungan sangat kuat dengan perubahan testosteron (r=0,773; p<0,001), sedangkan perubahan IMT menunjukkan hubungan sedang (ρ=0,458; p<0,001). Analisis regresi mengidentifikasi perubahan GDS sebagai faktor paling dominan, diikuti oleh IMT, sementara usia dan dosis metformin tidak signifikan. Disimpulkan bahwa penurunan GDS berasosiasi dengan penurunan testosteron, yang kemungkinan berkaitan dengan pengaruh metformin terhadap proses steroidogenesis.

Abstract

Researchers are increasingly fascinated by cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) owing to their ability to deliver biomolecules within cells. This unique capability makes CPPs an incredibly valuable asset in fields such as drug delivery, gene therapy and imaging where precision is paramount. However, the design and prediction of CPPs with optimal attributes and augmented cellular uptake still pose a challenge. With this literature review piece, we hope to shed light on significant progress that has been made within the field of in silico prediction techniques for CPPs. In particular our focus lies on discussing how these methodologies can assist with discovering and optimizing promising CPP candidates more efficiently. To accomplish this goal respectfully and comprehensively, we will examine computational methods like machine learning algorithms, sequence-based techniques, and structure-based modeling. These techniques employ large-scale databases, extensive peptide libraries, and advanced algorithms to scrutinize peptide properties, predict CPP activity, and optimize CPP sequences. Within this analysis, we find a significant emphasis placed on integrating physicochemical features, sequence motifs, and structural information into predictive models relating to CPP development. These factors are essential to predicting successful peptide uptake within cells while presenting various challenges during this process. Furthermore, the review highlights considerable strides in silico prediction techniques for CPPs, demonstrating great promise in accelerating their identification for further development. Incorporating computational tools and experimental validation holds tremendous promise in facilitating the design of CPPs with enhanced properties, thus advancing the field of intracellular delivery and therapeutics.

Abstract

Skin is continuously exposed to environmental stressors such as ultraviolet radiation and pollution, which trigger the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to oxidative stress, premature aging, and skin damage. Therefore, the development of topical antioxidant formulations from natural sources has become increasingly important. This study aimed to develop nanoparticles of Morinda citrifolia L. leaf ethanol extract and incorporate them into a moisturizing gel, followed by evaluation of their physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity. The extract was prepared by maceration using 96% ethanol, while nanoparticles were synthesized using the ionic gelation method with chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate. Particle size, polydispersity index, morphology, and antioxidant activity (DPPH method) were evaluated. The nanoparticles exhibited sizes below 200 nm with a uniform distribution (PDI< 0.3). The optimized formulation showed the smallest particle size (FIII=77.5±6.36 nm) and good stability. Antioxidant activity increased after nanoparticle formulation, with IC₅₀ values decreasing from 182.4±2.26 ppm (extract) to 145.4±6.89 ppm (FIII), indicating moderate activity. The gel formulations showed good physical stability and acceptable viscosity, although pH values were below the ideal skin range. The moisturizing test demonstrated significant improvement in skin hydration. In conclusion, nanoparticle incorporation enhanced antioxidant and moisturizing performance, indicating potential for topical applications.
