Abstract

This research aims to determine the concentration of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) metals contained in face whitening creams that are sold in store around Sleman, Yogyakarta. The analysis concentration of Pb and Cd levels in those whitening creams carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) at Chemistry laboratory of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. We used 5 different face whitening cream samples (here after indicated by sample A, B, C, D, E) that taken randomly with the range price of thousand rupiahs. The results of analysis showed that in the sample A contains of -0.729 ppm Pb and 1,199 ppm Cd; sample B covers 0,017 ppm Pb and 1,274 ppm Cd; in the sample C consists of 1,082 ppm Pb and 1,254 ppm Cd; in the sample D contains a total of 1.242 ppm Pb and 1.215 ppm Cd; and in the sample E consists of -0.409 Pb and 1.232 ppm Cd. The results of this research are useful as the bases of their heavy metal concentrations, thus the possibilities of counterfeiting of the products ingredients can be avoided. An effort should be made in order to tell the customers about the harmful effects of over consumption of the face whitening cream with heavy metal acumulations in the body.

Abstract

The carbon-doped TiO2 have been synthesized through sol-gel method using Solanum tuberosum starch as carbon source.  The carbon precursor composition and reaction time were varied to study its influence to the crystal structure and electronic structure of resulted material. The C- TiO2 product was characterized by XRD, UV-Vis DRS, FTIR, and photocatalytic activity examine by methylene blue degradation. The results showed that variations in the composition of the carbon precursor and reaction time affected the characteristics of the crystal structure and photocatalyst activity of C- TiO2. The optimum variation was found in the variation of 1.5 gram carbon composition and 24 hours hydrolysis time which had the smallest particle size and lowest bandgap energy. The highest photocatalyst activity was obtained at a 24-hour reaction time variation with 59.375% percent of methylene blue degraded in the second-order reaction with a k value of 2.1351.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the concentration of cadmium (Cd) metal content in various facial moisturizing creams with atomic absorbtion spectrophotometry (AAS). Samples were analyzed in the form of 6 brands of facial moisturizer cream that sold in market and selected randomly. The cream samples were destructed by wet destruction method. Next, the samples of destruction result were analyzed by atomic absorbtion spectrophotometry method with wavelength about 228.8 nm to determine the concentration of cadmium.  The results of this research showed that there was cadmium (Cd) metal content in the 2 samples of facial moisturizing cream that analyzed. Cadmium metal concentration on brand A is 0.1389 ± 2.7817 x 10-3 ppm and and brand B is 0.1321 ± 2.6468 x 10-3 ppm. Based on this result, the moustirizing creams are safe to use due to the BPOM regulation

Abstract

The influence of  Al3+ metal ion in  AlCl3 towards α-amylase enzyme activity have been studied. The activity of the α-amylase enzyme on potato starch substrate was determined using the DNS method (3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid) at optimum conditions. The data analysis was conducted in a descriptive qualitative manner. The results obtained that α-amylase enzyme activity with potato starch substrate was optimum at  20 mg/mL with pH 7.2, incubation temperature 37˚C, incubation time 15 minutes, and enzyme concentration of 40 mg/mL with an average enzyme activity value of 0.0079 mg/mL/minute at 37˚C. However, after the addition of Al3+ metal ion, the average value of enzyme activity decreased. These means that empirically Al3+ metal ion has a tendency to be inhibitory to the α-amylase enzyme activity on potato starch substrates.

Abstract

This research aimed at determining the effect of chitosan in synthesizing imprinted Cu carbon-chitosan composite properties, the effect of imprinting Cu in carbon-chitosan composites to the adsorption efficiency and adsorption capacity of Cu in electroplating waste via batch methods, and the regeneration pattern of the composite. Composites were characterized using FTIR and SEM-EDX. In FTIR spectra, the addition of Cu caused the reduction of -OH and -NH functional groups intensity as the active site of Cu chemical bonding in 3448.72 cm-1. SEM-EDX analysis showed that the carbon-ionic imprinted chitosan composites after desorption contains the element of C = 60.17%, O = 38.8%, Cu = 0.83% and Na = 0.85%. The optimizations of Cu adsorption were studied from the concentration pattern of its variable, measured with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The results showed that an optimum concentration for adsorption of Cu was 75 mg / L and an optimum contact time for adsorption of Cu was 24 hours with adsorption efficiency of 98.54% and adsorption capacity of 2.62 mg/g respectively. The adsorption yield of electroplating waste showed the adsorption efficiency of 31.62% and adsorption capacity of 367,79 mg/g respectively. Regeneration test was investigated from adsorption-recovery-reactivation (A-Rcov-RAct) steps. This regeneration test was carried out in three cycles. Recovery test was carried out using EDTA 0.05 M and 0.1 M HCl solutions. The efficiency of reactivation was identified from adsorption ability after activated with 0.1 M NaOH from two routes of recoveries. The results showed that recover agents do not influence the adsorption percentage, while to the recovery percentage progress, HCl 0.1M EDTA 0.05M. All routes of reactivation showed the similar results in average 99%

Abstract

This research aims to test the antioxidant activity of extract kweni peel (Mangifera odoratta Griff). The antioxidant testing was performed by maceration using the solvents of n-hexane and ethanol 96% after that it was fractioned using ethyl acetate solvent. The phytochemical tests yield positive results from ethyl acetate extract were flavonoids and tannins. The antioxidant testing was carried out using the DPPH method (2,2, diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) based on the inhibition concentration test parameters (IC50). The result showed that the antioxidant activity (IC50) found to be 169.43 µg/mL which was classified as moderate antioxidant activity intensity. Therefore, it can be concluded that the extract of kweni peel (Mangifera odoratta Griff) has potential antioxidant activity that could be used as an inhibitor of free radicals.

Abstract

Iodine is an important component that needed by the body in the synthesis of thyroid hormones in order to maximize humans’ growth and development. Besides, iodine also plays a role in the regulation and metabolism system in the human body. Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is one of the nutritional problems which is an inhibiting factor in the development of human resources because it can cause disruption of mental development and human intelligence. Iodine in food is found from table salt, it found in the form of KIO3 with a standard level of iodine in table salt that is 30ppm-80ppm. This research aims to determine the iodine levels in the four kinds of table salt using spectrophotometric methods based on the formation of the starch iodine complex. The formation of the starch iodine complex performed by reacting I- with the oxidizer IO3- in an acidic atmosphere with starch indicator. The resulting blue color was analysed by visible spectrophotometry and produce absorbance data. The measured iodine content is equal to samples A, B, C, and D showing results less than 30 ppm so it can be concluded that iodine in table salt still does not meet the SNI standards that should be around 30ppm-80ppm
