Abstract

Rhodamine B is a synthetic dye used as a textile dye. It is prohibited as a Food Additive because it can irritate the digestive tract, poison, and even cause cancer and death. The research was to see if there were any Rhodamine B deposits of cotton candy in Makassar. This test used five samples. The methods used in testing are TLC and spectrophotometry UV-Vis. All five samples' test results show no stain was formed (negative). UV-Vis spectrophotometry test on a 553 nm length acquired data of Rhodamine B levels in a row as follows: first sample of cotton candy = 0.005%, sample 2 of cotton candy = 0.001%, sample 3 of cotton candy = 0.0008%, sample 4 of cotton candy = 0.003%, and sample 5 of cotton candy = 0.0009%. They concluded that all five samples identified contained Rhodamine B synthesized dye to a minimal degree of the cotton candy sample distributed in Makassar.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition of increased uric acid levels in the blood above normal limits that can cause pain or soreness, which if not treated immediately will cause chronic gout, the formation of tofus, and severe kidney function disorders. One plant that is thought to have anti-hyperuricemia effects is matoa leaves (Pometia pinnata J.R.Forst ; G.Forst) because they contain secondary metabolite compounds, namely flavonoids. This study is an experimental study using 25 male white rats divided into 5 treatment groups, namely group I (Na-CMC, negative control), group II (Allopurinol, positive control 100 mg), group III, IV, and V were given matoa leaf ethanol extract (EEDM) with successive doses of 200 mg/kg body weight (BW), 400 mg/kg BW, and 800 mg/kg BW for 4 days. Test animals were induced with fresh chicken liver juice orally for 7 consecutive days and potassium oxonate 250 mg/kg BW intraperitoneally on day 8. On the 9th to 12th day, EEDM therapy was carried out. Measurement of uric acid levels was carried out on days 0 (before treatment), 7, 8, and 12. The data were then processed statistically using Kruskal-Wallis and the Mann-Whitney follow-up test. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that ethanol extract of matoa leaves has an effect as anti-hyperuricemia with the most effective dose being 200 mg/kg BW.

Abstract

Hydroquinone is an active compound that is able to control pigment production to inhibit melanin formation and has activity as a skin whitening agent, so hydroquinone is widely used in cosmetic products. Hydroquinone has adverse side effects if used for a long time. BPOM RI has issued a regulation on the prohibition on the use of hydroquinone as a bleach in cosmetics. The purpose of this study was to identify the hydroquinone content in whitening handbody samples circulating in Makassar City and to find out the level of hydroquinone contained in the sample. Qualitative analysis is carried out using FeCl₃ reagents and quantitative analysis using the UV-VIS spectrophotometry method. The number of samples used in this study was as many as 4 samples that did not have a registration number from BPOM RI. The results showed that the 4 samples studied positively contained hydroquinone. The results of the sample test measured at a maximum wavelength of 292 nm, obtained hydroquinone levels at the sample code HB1 = 1.267%; sample code HB2 = 0.912%; sample code HB3 = 0.379% and sample code HB4 = 0.449%.

Abstract

Cassava bark is a part of the cassava plant which is still underutilized besides being used as animal feed and wasted as waste. Each cassava can usually produce 10-15% cassava bark. The amount of waste produced can cause accumulation, resulting in environmental damage if not appropriately utilized. This research aims to determine the antioxidant activity of cassava bark (Manihot esculenta Crantz) using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pikrihidrazil) method, measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Extraction used the maceration method of 96% ethanol as solvent. The determination of antioxidants in ethanol extract of cassava bark by the DPPH method and using vitamin C was used as a reference. Vitamin C was made in four series of concentrations, namely 2, 4, 6, and 8 ppm, while the ethanol extract of cassava bark was 20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm. From several concentration series, 2 ml was taken, and 1 ml of 50 ppm DPPH was added; then, the mixture obtained was incubated for 30 minutes in a place protected from light. The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 515 nm. The results showed that the ethanol extract of cassava bark has a potent antioxidant activity based on the IC50 value obtained, which is 3.847 mg/L. Therefore, the ethanol extract of cassava bark can be developed as a natural antioxidant.

Abstract

Seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii Doty) has potential as an antioxidant because it contains kappa-carrageenan which can counteract free radicals. Formulation of seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii Doty) into lotion preparations can minimize the negative effects of sun exposure, because it can reflect solar radiation or work as a physical sunscreen. To give the maximum effect, particle size reduction is carried out, so that the smaller the particle size of the seaweed powder, the surface area increases. This study aims to determine the formulation and evaluate the preparation of lotion from seaweed powder. This research was conducted using an experimental method. The lotion was made with three variations of seaweed powder concentration (Eucheuma cottonii Doty), namely 2.5%, 3% and 5%. Tests were carried out before and after accelerated conditions at 5oC and 35oC for 12 hours each for 12 cycles with test parameters including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, viscosity and flow type. The results obtained in the organoleptic test showed no change in the three formulas both before and after the accelerated condition. The pH test showed that Formula 2 and Formula 3 still showed that the preparation remained in the skin pH range for sunscreen. In the homogeneity test, all preparations were homogeneous, as well as the spreadability test met the test requirements criteria. Based on the tests carried out, it can be concluded that formulas 2 and 3 have optimum stability.

Abstract

Most people like instant beverage products because of their practical processing and superior taste and creative packaging, thus attracting consumers to consume them. One of the food additives that is often used in instant beverage products is artificial sweeteners such as sodium cyclamate which has a sweetness level of 3.94 kcal/g or 30 times that of sucrose. This study aims to determine the levels of sodium cyclamate in packaged and powdered drinks circulating on the campus of the Indonesian Muslim University using the gravimetric method. The sampling method used a purposive technique and obtained 6 test samples, qualitative analysis used the precipitation method and obtained all positive samples containing sodium cyclamate. The results of the quantitative analysis obtained the levels of sodium cyclamate for each sample A; B; C; D; E; F as much as 37.07 mg/kg; 30.17 mg/kg; 12.93 mg/kg; 4.31 mg/kg; 340 mg/kg; 258 mg/kg. Thus, these results indicate that all samples do not exceed the levels set by BPOM regulation No. 11 of 2019 concerning food additives, namely 350 mg/kg, so they are safe for consumption.
