Abstract

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is one of the vegetable wastes that is often produced by the Amahami market, Bima City. With its easy-to-wilt nature and high water content, cabbage causes it to rot quickly, which will impact environmental problems. Processing market waste certainly requires sustainable management. One model of waste management is to use it as feed. This research aims to determine the effect of giving cabbage waste on the increase in the population of earthworms (Eudrilus eugeniae). The research was carried out in Bima City, Ule Village, Asakota District, Tolotongga Environment. The type of this research is experimental. The research design was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and ten replications. The parameter observed was the increase in the number of earthworms, analyzed using One Way Anova and followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results of the research showed that giving cabbage waste (Brassica oleracea) as feed had a significant effect (0.009<0.05) on increasing the population of earthworms (Eudrilus eugeniae). The treatment with the highest results was P1 (50 grams of cabbage), with an average number of worms of 367.30.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates around 3 million people working in the agricultural sector experience insecticide poisoning, and 18 thousand of them die every year. The massive use of synthetic insecticides can harm non-targeted organisms such as plants and livestock. Moreover, this may lead to ecological imbalance and increase pollution. Thus, there is a need for innovation in making natural insecticides. Indonesia is home to abundant plant diversity; one of those is the Gamal plant (Gliricidia sepium). Previous studies found that Gamal leaves contain secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. Flavonoids are known to have a toxic effect on mealybugs in the papaya plant, and tannins are antimicrobial and often used as pest control. Based on this, the Gamal plant has potential as a natural insecticide. One of the most critical pests in agriculture and households is termites (Coptotermes curvignathus), which often cause losses by damaging plants and household furniture. Also, there is no research yet on Gamal leaves against termites. Therefore, research is necessary to test the effectiveness of Gamal leaf extract against termites. In this study, experimental research was used with a quantitative approach. The Gamal leaf extract was obtained using ethanol and methanol solvents through a maceration technique. Several termites were acclimatized, and 120 were taken randomly for toxicity testing. Four concentrations (10%, 25%, 50%, and 75%) were applied to each group of ten termites. This treatment was repeated three times, and the termite mortality time was measured. Afterwards, the value of LC50 was determined using a regression line between log concentration and probit mortality. The result shows that the higher the concentration, the shorter the termite death time. The mortality rate reaches 100% within 1 to 2 minutes after treatment. The LC50 value of Gamal leaves extract against termites obtained is 5,1%. This indicates that Gamal leaves are very effective in killing termites, even in the lowest concentration. It is likely caused by secondary metabolites, especially flavonoids, that have insecticidal effects. In brief, the ethanolic and methanolic extract of Gamal leaves has the potential to be a natural insecticide to substitute synthetic insecticide, which is safer, economical, and environmentally friendly.

Abstract

Adsorption of methyl orange (MO) using epichlorohydrin cross-linked humic acid/cellulose composite has been carried out. This study aims to synthesize epichlorohydrin cross-linked humic acid/cellulose composites, determine the optimum pH, contact time, and initial concentration and study MO desorption. The adsorbent production begins with the isolation of cellulose from empty palm oil bunches (EFB) obtained from North Sumatra and the isolation of humic acid from peat soil obtained from Rawa Pening. Then humic acid was cross-linked to cellulose in an alkaline solution (NaOH), then epichlorohydrin was added as a cross-linking agent while heating at 600C for 2 hours. Epichlorohydrin cross-linked humic acid/cellulose adsorbents (AH/Cell-ECH) were further characterized using FTIR, XRD and SEM spectroscopy. MO solutions before and after adsorption were analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. MO desorption studies used HCl pH 4, 0.1 and 1.0 M NaCl and 40% and 60% ethanol. FTIR characterization showed that the AH/Sel-ECH adsorbents had active groups, including –OH, -C=O, and –COOH. Characterization using XRD showed diffraction peaks in the 2θ region around 11.41, 20.25, 22.55, and 42.66o, indicating the presence of galactose, xylose, glucose and polysaccharide phases. The SEM-EDX results showed that the surface of the adsorbent had non-uniform pore sizes, and the surface morphology tended to be clean and free of debris. It indicated the presence of C, O, and N elements in AH/ECH-cells and S, N elements after MO adsorption. The optimum interaction of AH/Sel-ECH with MO occurred at pH 2 with 150 mg/L MO, and a contact time of 120 minutes was obtained. MO adsorption by AH/ECH-cells followed a pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Freundlich isotherm with an MO adsorption capacity of 9.84 x 10-5 mmol/g, respectively. Desorption studies showed that 60% ethanol was the most effective solution for desorption of MO.

Abstract

In Indonesia, rice is a staple food consumed daily. The high purchasing power of the public for good quality rice makes this a reason for producers to add dangerous bleaching agents such as chlorine to improve the physical quality of the rice they sell. The use of unclear bleaching agents on rice that do not meet the requirements for permitted additives in food and whose concentrations exceed the threshold limits is dangerous for human health. This research aims to determine the presence of chlorine in white rice sold at the Pagesangan market. The methods used are qualitative and quantitative. Three of the five rice samples tested at the Mataram STTL Laboratory tested positive for chlorine. Chlorine levels in rice samples, sample C, were 367.4 mg/L, sample D was 275.1 mg/L, and sample E was 93.4 mg/L.

Abstract

The tofu industry is a type of industry that operates in the field of food processing from soybean raw materials. The tofu industry is dominated by small-scale businesses, most integrated into residential areas. The tofu industry has yet to process the liquid waste it produces. High environmental pollution can result in the death of aquatic biota due to lack of oxygen. This research aims to reduce BOD and COD levels that do not meet quality standards. Based on this, research was conducted to reduce the organic content in tofu liquid waste using pumice stone as a filtration medium. The research used a 2.5-inch PVC pipe with a height of 70 cm and a media size of 8 mesh, which was heated at temperatures of 50°C and 100°C. The research results after treatment showed that the initial concentration of BOD levels was 160 mg/L. After going through the filtration process with media heating treatment at 50°C and 100°C, the BOD levels were reduced to 116.8, 76.8, and 40 mg/L, respectively, with 52% and 75% reduction effectiveness. While the initial concentration of COD levels was 326 mg/L, after going through the filtration process with media heating treatment at  50°C and 100°C, the COD levels were reduced to  252 and 198 mg/L, respectively, and the effectiveness of the reduction was 23% and 39%.

Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) scan, with iodine-based contrast, produces good image quality by improving the visualisation of relatively low-contrast internal body structures. However, the impact of using iodinated difference should be considered in patients susceptible to contrast allergy and renal impairment. Therefore, alternative contrast materials, such as cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs), must be used, with biocompatible properties and strong X-ray attenuation capabilities. This study compared the CT scan image quality of CeO2 NPs and iodinated contrast agents. This experimental study started by preparing a suspension of CeO2 NPs and iodine in aquabidest at a concentration of 500 ppm. The suspension was scanned using a CT scan with a helical scanning method. The exposure coefficient parameters were set for the tube voltage of 80 kV, Field of View of 28 cm, slice thickness of 5 mm, and tube current time of 150 mAs, 200 mAs, and 250 mAs. Then, CT images in DICOM data format were processed using MicroDICOM Viewer software. The quality of the CT scan images was analysed based on the CT number value, noise level, and contrast resolution. The images of CeO2 nanoparticles have higher CT values, lower noise levels, and better contrast resolution than those of iodine contrast agents. The results show that the CT image results of CeO2 NPs have better quality than those of iodine-containing contrast agents.

Abstract

Waste utilization of decortication Sisal plants is minimal compared to the amount of waste produced, especially the cellulose content in the waste decortication sisal plant. This research aims to extract waste cellulose decortication sisal plants using acid and alkaline solutions with variations in NaOH solutions of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. The process used is alkalization, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis by method analysis. Next, testing using SEM and FTIR methods is done to determine the morphology of waste cellulose decortication in the resulting sisal plants and the cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose content in the waste decortication sisal plant. Before treatment, the cellulose content of the waste is given to decorticate the sisal plant at 31%, and after alkalization treatment, the cellulose content is 54%. Cellulose content in waste decortication Sisal plants in each process increases with found O-H bonds at waves 3000-3600 cm-1, C-H bonds belong to hemicellulose at wave numbers 2800-3000 cm-1 and remove lignin, which is in the waste decortication Sisal plants did not find C=C bonds belonging to lignin at waves of 1200-1300 cm-1. FTIR test results show an increase in cellulose intensity, with the resulting cellulose measuring 28.64762 µm and 33.69369 µm. The increase in cellulose intensity in FTIR is directly proportional to the SEM results, which show a loose layer with lignin and hemicellulose that has been eroded from the cellulose.
