Abstract

Land spinach contains polyphenols which can be determined by the spectrophotometry method. Data on method validation and estimation of uncertainty measurement of polyphenols in land spinach are not yet available, so method validation and estimation of uncertainty measurement of polyphenol content determination were carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The validation parameters of the tested methods include linearity, precision, accuracy, and LOD and LOQ. Analysis of total polyphenol content was carried out using the Folin-Ciocalteu method with the gallic acid standard. Based on the results of method validation, the equation of the line y = 0.7213x-0.0096 with a coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.9994. These results indicate that the correlation between standard concentrations of gallic acid and absorbance shows good linearity. Repeated measurements showed the average total polyphenol content and the estimated measurement uncertainty value was (3.0501±0,2886) mg/Kg GAE. The RSD percentage was obtained at 1.79% were the result entered the acceptance condition because it was ≤ 2%. Percent recovery was obtained at 81.50% and 85.66%, and the terms of acceptance range between 80-110%. The LOD and LOQ values obtained were 0.1024 mg/L and 0.3412 mg/L. Based on the data obtained, it can be said that the method used has good validity.

Abstract

The plant prickly lantana (Lantana Camara L.) contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids and has the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant source. The research objective is to determine the IC50 value for the antioxidant activity of prickly lantana leaf extract. Prickly lantana leaves were macerated in a 96% ethanol solvent for 3x24 hours. Phytochemical analysis of prickly lantana leaves revealed that the leaves contained alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. This antioxidant activity test was performed using the reagent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), whose absorption at 517 nm was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and by varying the sample concentration after the addition of prickly lantana leaf extract. The concentrations of prickly lantana leaf extract used varied from 20 ppm to 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm. The positive control was vitamin C at the same concentration variation, and the negative control was DPPH solution dissolved in 96% ethanol. The results showed that the IC50 of prickly lantana leaf extract was 164.639 ppm, while vitamin C had an IC50 of 18.754 ppm.

Abstract

Eugenol is a component of phenol, biologically it can function as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, insecticide, and antioxidant. The content of eugenol which is quite large in clove leaf essential oil is used as a bioactive substance to increase antioxidant levels in meat. Experimental by using 100 male laying hens were then placed into 20 cage units, each cage unit filled with 5 experimental chickens. Meat sample collection for analysis of phenol and IC50 levels was carried out by slaughtering experimental chickens at 8 weeks of age. Samples of chicken meat were taken from the breast of each experimental animal as much as 100 grams. Determination of the total phenol content of chicken meat using Folin-Ciocalteu with gallic acid as a comparison, while the antioxidant activity testing using the DPPH free radical absorption method. In this experiment, eugenol was added to the basal ration with 5 treatments, namely: E0 = without eugenol; E1 = 0.5% eugenol; E2 = 1% eugenol; E3 = 1.5% eugenol; E4 = 2% eugenol.  The variables observed were phenol levels and IC50 values which can describe the antioxidant power in male laying hens. The results showed that the addition of clove leaf eugenol as an additive in the ratio had a very significant effect (p < 0.01) on phenol levels and IC50 values. male laying hens. Each increase in the use of 0.5% eugenol in the ration can increase the phenol content and decrease the IC50 value significantly in the meat produced. The level of eugenol in the ration was positively correlated with the levels of phenol and antioxidants in the meat of laying hens, while the levels of eugenol in the ration and the levels of phenol in the meat had a negative correlation with the IC50 value of the meat of laying hens.

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) can be synthesized using a simple and environmentally friendly method by utilizing infuse of the plant. The secondary metabolites contained in infused Africa leaves were used as reducing and stabilizing agents in the synthesis of NiCoFe2O4 NPs. The characteristics and photocatalytic activity of NiCoFe2O4 against the photodegradation of diazinon have been investigated using UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The UV-Vis spectra showed that NiCoFe2O4 had been formed, as established with a maximum absorbance peak at 277 nm. The FTIR results also confirmed the presence of a ferrite spinel group at a wave number of 565cm-1. The XRD diffractogram showed a cubic crystal of NiCoFe2O4 with a size of 8.79 nm, which was also confirmed from the SEM images that the NPs were slightly agglomerated with an average size of 94.37 nm. The photocatalytic performance of NiCoFe2O4 against diazinon which was carried out for 300 minutes under UV light obtained a degradation percentage of 72.40% producing diazoxide, 2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyramidal (IMP) and diethyl phosphonate. It was concluded that infused African leaves had an active role in the synthesis of NiCoFe2O4.

Abstract

Synthesis of composite boron-doped carbon nanodots (B-CDs)/TiO2 using the sol-gel method performed with titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) precursor and B-CDs prepared by the microwave method using citric acid monohydrate, urea, and boric acid as precursors. The optimum concentration of boron dopant (B) on B-CDs/TiO2 is 0.5% boron (w/w) which is then used as a composite on TiO2 resulting in a brown solid and has blue luminescent under UV light. The result with UV-Vis/DRS for variation in B-CDs concentration of 0.5%, 1.25%, and 2.5% showed Eg values of 2.34 eV, 2.00 eV, and 2.29 eV. B-CDs cause the maximum emission peak (λEm) to redshift and affect the intensity of photoluminescence TiO2. The characterization of FT-IR does not indicate a new peak, there is no bonding in the B-CDs/TiO2 composite. The TiO2 diffractogram was observed to shift towards a larger 2θ which caused the crystallinity of TiO2 to decrease. Based on the photocatalytic activity test on the degradation of methylene blue solution, it showed fairly good activity. It is expected that the B-CDs/TiO2 composite has the potential to be applied as a photocatalyst to degrade organic pollutants under visible light illumination.
