Abstract

A gold nanoparticle as colorimetric sensor (AuNp) has been successfully developed for the detection of lactic acid, which is one of the biomarkers of cancer disease. The sensor is based on the presence of a color change in the AuNp solution when it reacts with dihydrogenic acid and is the result of the development of a simpler, faster, and more economical method for early detection and monitoring of cancer. The synthesis method of AuNp was reduced and characterized using UV-Vis and PSA spectrophotometers. Several optimizations were made to obtain AuNP in the best condition as a colorimetric sensor for the detection of lactic acid. The result of AuNp synthesis optimization with HAuCl4 concentration variation was obtained with a smallest size of 17.25 nm and a concentration of 1 mM. The optimum combustion time is 10 minutes, with a result of 17.05 nm. The AuNp colorimetric sensor undergoes a color change from grapefruit to purple when it reacts with fucking acid. The results of the validation of the methods carried out obtained a sensitivity value of 0.2212, a LOD value of 0.21 mM, a LOQ of 0.68 mM, a range of accuracy values of 94.72–106.66%, and % KV of <0.97.

Abstract

Red mud is a solid waste generated from the Bayer process that contains valuable metals such as Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, and TiO₂. However, to optimize red mud as an iron source, the high content of silica and alumina must be reduced, as these impurities can lower the efficiency of iron processing. This study aims to evaluate the leaching of red mud using 100 mL of 6.5 M hydrofluoric acid (HF), with variations in red mud mass (10, 20, 25 g) and stirring time (1 to 6 hours), to produce iron-rich residue. XRF analysis showed an increase in Fe₂O₃ content up to 44.65% in the 25 g sample after 6 hours. Al₂O₃ content consistently decreased, while SiO₂ decreased to 20.23% after 4 hours. XRD results revealed that the dominant phases in the residue were hematite, magnetite, and goethite, while silica and alumina phases were diminished. The optimal condition was achieved with 25 g of red mud and 4 hours of reaction time, resulting in high Fe₂O₃ content and low impurities. ICP-MS analysis of the leachate showed increasing Si and Al concentrations with longer reaction times, indicating HF selectively dissolved both elements. The novelty of this research lies in the use of HF to selectively dissolve Si and Al without affecting iron, yielding a residue with potential use as a precursor for magnetite or other iron-based materials. This method effectively reduces impurities and enhances residue quality, supporting sustainable red mud processing and circular economy initiatives.

Abstract

Determination of C-organic content in soil using the Walkley & Black method with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer was conducted at the Agricultural Instrument Standards Application Center in Yogyakarta. The samples used in this experiment were soil samples. The analysis method used was the Walkley & Black method with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. This method works based on the principle of wet oxidation using potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), where the remaining unreacted dichromate ions are measured using a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 587 nm. The analysis results showed that the organic C content in the five soil samples ranged from 1.096% to 3.866%, classified from low to high. The variation in organic C content was influenced by environmental factors such as depth, soil texture, and drainage conditions. This analysis is important for determining soil fertility levels and supporting sustainable agricultural land management.

Abstract

Quantitative analysis was conducted on seven soil samples to determine available phosphorus (P), an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two extraction methods, Olsen and Bray I, in measuring phosphorus availability in soils with different chemical characteristics, as well as to provide an overview of soil fertility levels based on the obtained results. The available P content was measured using the Olsen & Bray I methods with a single-beam UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Four soil samples (TH.2278, TH.2279, TH.2280, and TH.2281) were analyzed using the Olsen method, while three samples (TH.2267, TH.2268, and TH.2269) were analyzed using the Bray I method. Based on the Olsen method, samples TH.2278 and TH.2279 contained 34.8270 ppm and 50.5795 ppm P₂O₅, respectively, both classified as very high. In contrast, sample TH.2280 showed a concentration of 3.9325 ppm (very low category), and sample TH.2281 had 8.9920 ppm (low category). Using the Bray I method, sample TH.2267 contained 39.9138 ppm P₂O₅ (very high category), while TH.2268 and TH.2269 contained 1.7534 ppm and 5.3627 ppm, categorized as very low and low, respectively. Overall, three samples (TH.2278, TH.2279, and TH.2267) exhibited very high levels of available phosphorus, while samples TH.2280, TH.2281, TH.2268, and TH.2269 fell within the low to very low categories. These findings indicate that phosphorus availability is strongly influenced by soil chemical conditions, with the Olsen method being more suitable for neutral to alkaline soils and the Bray I method being more responsive to acidic soils. For soils with very high phosphorus levels, phosphate fertilization should be temporarily discontinued to prevent nutrient imbalance and environmental risks. Conversely, soils with low phosphorus levels require regular monitoring and periodic phosphate fertilization to maintain adequate soil fertility.

Abstract

This research involved formulating lip balm using a combination of chitosan and red dragon fruit peel as active ingredients in the lip balm formula. The purpose of this research is to learning about lip balm’s physical and chemical properties, which involves adding chitosan and red dragon fruit peel, determining lip balm formulation with various concentrations of red dragon fruit peel, and understanding betalain compounds in red dragon fruit peel as antioxidants using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. Based on the phytochemical screening and antioxidant test, the extract can be used as an active ingredient in cosmetics, and the antioxidant value IC50 is 0,675 mg/mL. However, this antioxidant's effectiveness is classified as low because of some environmental factors. There are 6 lip balm formulas, which are F0A, F0B, F1, F2, F3, and F4. All of the lip balm formulas have fulfilled the requirements of a lip balm product, like organoleptic test, pH test, hedonic test, and adhesive strength test. The result of the SPF test shows that lip balm formulas F0A, F0B, F1, and F2 are classified as maximum protection. Meanwhile, lip balm formulas F3 and F4 are classified as ultra protection with an SPF value >15

Abstract

Orange peel represents a promising renewable feedstock for essential oil production; however, the rigid lignocellulosic matrix restricts the efficiency of conventional extraction techniques. This study investigates the effectiveness of biological pretreatment in enhancing essential oil yield from orange peel through fungal fermentation. Pretreatment was conducted using Aspergillus niger to modify the lignocellulosic structure, followed by essential oil extraction and statistical evaluation of process parameters. The results demonstrate that biological pretreatment significantly increases essential oil yield compared with untreated samples. Optimal conditions were achieved at an inoculum concentration of 2.5%, glucose supplementation of 2.5 g, and a fermentation duration of 2 days. The improved extraction performance is attributed to enzymatic degradation of structural components, which enhances oil release. These findings highlight the potential of A. niger – based biological pretreatment as an efficient and environmentally sustainable strategy for valorizing orange peel waste in essential oil production.

Abstract

Fucoidan is a Sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed, it has attracted considerable attention due to its various biological properties. Indonesia has riches diversity biological abundant sea. One of areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province that have potential producing algae is Regency Gunung Kidul. The extracted fucoidan from brown algae using conventional method depends on dissolution wall cell polysaccharide in various conditions, such as hot water, acids /alkalis, and organic solvents. However, the approach this own shortcomings, namely time long extraction and results low yield. For overcome this problem, this study evaluates the effectiveness of combined ultrasound and enzyme extraction method in improving the yield and bioactive properties of fucoidan obtained from Sargassum Siliquosum. Cellulase enzyme concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 2% v/v) were investigated and compared with the conventional extraction method. The result showed that the (UAE+EAE 2%) method provided the highest yield (3.622%), which is higher than the conventional method (3.506%), while the lower enzyme concentrations produced less yields. FTIR analysis ensured that the functional groups of fucoidan, including sulfate ester (S=O) and glycosidic (C-O-C) bonds. The effective extraction of fucoidan was confirmed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis, and the DPPH assay's evaluation of antioxidant activity showed that the bioactive characteristics of fucoidan were maintained. Overall, in comparison to conventional extraction methods, the combined UAE+EAE approach shows great promise as a more effective and eco-friendlier fucoidan extraction technology. Further optimization and purification for the extracted fucoidan are recommended to improve bioactivity for future applications.
