Abstract

A well- Sodium acetate has been used as a food flavor enhancer in the production of cheese, snack food, and pastry products. Hence, accurate quantification of sodium acetate content in food has significant importance within the realm of food chemistry. A Schiff-base reaction was used to produce the sensor 1,2,4 triazole derivative 3. The assessment of sensor 3's response to sodium salts (HSO4-, H2PO4-, NO2-, F-, Br-, Cl-, and AcO-) was conducted through naked-eye detection and subsequently confirmed using UV-vis spectroscopy. The addition of ions to sensor 3 resulted in a spectral change. Notably, only AcO- presented a unique shift in the visible spectra, while no changes were observed for the other anions. Sensor 3 has a notable level of sensitivity, as seen by the naked eye, in detecting acetate anion. The frequent addition of AcO- to a solution of sensor 3 results in an interesting color shift from light yellow to red-orange. The stoichiometry and association constant (Ka) were determined using the Benesi-Hildebrand equation, yielding values of 1:2 and 9.93x109 M-2, respectively. The calculation of the limit of detection (LoD) yielded a result of 6.86 µM. The synthesis of sensor 3 was confirmed using 1HNMR, IR, and UV techniques. The DT-DFT, HOMO, and LUMO values were computed using the Gaussian 09 software.

Abstract

A forest is a unified ecosystem in the form of an expanse of land containing biological natural resources. It is dominated by trees in one natural environment and another so that they cannot be separated. Forests play an important role in maintaining the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Their plants can absorb carbon dioxide from the air during the photosynthesis process so they play an important role in maintaining climate balance. The Maleo Hungayono Sanctuary is a place for endemic animals including forests in the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park area which cannot produce wood, so what will be the strength of the economic value of the TNBNW area is environmental services, including carbon. This research aims to determine the potential for carbon uptake in the Maleo Hungayono Sanctuary, Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park Area. The research results show that the highest biomass value at the research location is at the tree level with a total carbon uptake of 16,588.26 tons/ha; at pole level with total carbon uptake of 722.65 tonnes/ha; at the sapling level with a total carbon uptake of 63.91 tonnes/ha.

Abstract

Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn, atomic number of 50, atomic mass of 118.71 g/mol and belong to group 14 and period 5 in the periodic table of elements. Tin has two main allotropes, α-tin and β-tin, 10 stable isotopes, 29 unstable isotopes and 30 metastable isomers, the greatest number of any element. In nature, tin occurs primarily as the mineral cassiterite (SnO2) in various geological formations. It is often found in association with granite rocks and alluvial deposits. Tin is purified by smelting cassiterite with carbon followed by boiling and liquation or electrolytic methods. Tin is a silvery-white metal with a relatively low melting point of 231.93°C and a boiling point of 2,602°C. It exhibits good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in various environments, especially when alloyed with other metals. In addition, tin is soft, malleable, ductile metal and has excellent solderability making it useful for joining other metals together in the electronic and electrical equipment. Tin has two mains oxidation states, +2 and the slightly more stable +4, and can form inorganic and organometallic compounds.  Due to its remarkable physical and chemical properties make this metal attract attention and has very broad benefits. Tin is not only used in conventional technologies such as solders, cans and coins, but also in advanced technologies such as tin lithium-ion batteries, smart screens and solar cells. In future, tin will play a crucial role in advancing green technologies by enabling the development of renewable energy systems, energy-efficient processes, and environmentally friendly materials. Its versatility and sustainability make it an indispensable element in the transition towards a more sustainable future. Tin is also used as reagents in organic synthesis, such as allylic, allenic and propargylic stannanes, for forming C-C bond which are very necessary in drug synthesis and development. Tin as individual particles is not exceedingly lethal to living organisms. Elemental tin metal, its salts and its oxides present low toxicity. In contrast, certain organotin compounds are almost as toxic as cyanide. Since it is not biodegradable, organic tin can last longer in the environment.

Abstract

Polymorphism in drug compounds is a significant phenomenon in pharmacy because it affects physicochemical properties such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability, which impact the effectiveness and safety of drugs. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is one of the methods that can be used to identify and analyze the polymorphic properties of drug compounds. This article reviews the utilization of XRD in various studies, showing that this method is effective for identifying polymorphism, detecting changes in crystal forms, monitoring crystalline phase transitions, and characterizing the formation of new crystalline phases. Although very useful, XRD has limitations in detecting amorphous phases and requires optimal sample preparation. For more comprehensive results, XRD is often combined with other techniques such as DSC and FTIR. Overall, XRD plays an important role in drug development and quality control, and this technology is expected to continue evolving, including its ability to directly monitor the crystallization process to enhance drug quality and stability.

Abstract

Reactions with nonreflux procedures are based on the mechanical impact energy to promote the transformation process of chemicals. The simple procedures are grinding-milling, microwave-assisted, and ultrasonic-assisted. Generally, the procedures were undergoing nonsolvent or solventless reaction conditions also in effective and efficient processes, which corresponds to the principles of green chemistry. In its development, disproportionation reaction could also be undergone by applying these methods. This article discussed the preparative procedures of nonreflux with grinding, shaking, ultrasonic-assisted, and microwave-assisted in disproportionation reactions, which later could be used as standard procedures according to green chemistry and sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of roasting methods on the chemical and functional properties of Liberica coffee, focusing on caffeine content, total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant activity. Two roasting approaches were compared: semi-automatic roasting with controlled conditions, and traditional pan roasting with manual heat regulation. Caffeine levels were determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 273 nm, while TPC was measured using the Folin–Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant activity was assessed via DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results revealed that semi-automatic roasting preserved more bioactive compounds, with higher caffeine content (1.86%) and TPC (56.84 mg GAE/g), compared to conventional roasting (1.34% and 41.27 mg GAE/g, respectively). Antioxidant activity was also significantly higher in semi-automatically roasted samples, with 72.3% inhibition and lower IC₅₀ value (168.5 ppm). These findings indicate that semi-automatic roasting enhances both chemical quality and functional potential of Liberica coffee. The study supports the application of controlled roasting technologies in post-harvest processing to improve the health-related value and market competitiveness of Liberica coffee products.

Abstract

Absidia corymbifera is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause serious infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. However, studies on natural antifungal agents effective against this species remain limited. This study investigates the antifungal activity of strawberry (Fragaria spp.) leaf extracts as a potential natural treatment against A. corymbifera. Aqueous and ethanol extracts were prepared using cold extraction methods—blending and maceration, respectively. Strawberry leaf extract was subjected to a qualitative phytochemical screening test and a quantitative total phenolic content test using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, then an antifungal activity test was carried out using the diffusion method. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids in the aqueous extract, while the ethanol extract contained tannins, flavonoids, and steroids. The total phenolic content of ethanol extract of strawberry leaves is greater than that of strawberry leaf aqueous extract. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of strawberry leaves showed fungistatic antifungal inhibition against A. corymbifera with a larger inhibitory zone diameter in strawberry leaf ethanol extract. These findings suggest that strawberry leaf extracts, particularly ethanol-based, hold promise as a natural antifungal agent for controlling infections caused by A. corymbifera.
