Abstract

The high amount of banana consumption in Indonesia has caused banana peel waste to increase, which can cause environmental pollution. One of the utilization of banana peel waste is as a metal nanoparticle synthesis. This study aims to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles with banana peel extract as a capping agent and determine the effect of solvent volume variation on the characterization of ZnO particles using variable volume of ethanol-water solvent with a ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 (v/v). This research uses maceration extraction method for 24 hours. Characterization of ZnO particles was carried out including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). In this study, the total polyphenol and flavonoid content in ethanol - water 1:1 (v/v) horn banana peel extract was higher at 4.944% and 5.940% than ethanol - water 2:1 (v/v) at 4.114% and 4.131%. Based on the results of FTIR testing, both samples have ZnO peaks where in ethanol - water 1:1 (v/v), 441 cm-1 and 619 cm-1, while ethanol - water 2:1 (v/v) is 428 cm-1. Then, from the PSA test results, the ethanol-water 1:1 (v/v) sample has a smaller average nanoparticle diameter of 135.6 nm than the ethanol-water 2:1 (v/v) sample which is 153.6 nm. ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using the natural capping agent banana peel extract. Different levels of secondary metabolites in each extract have an influence on the diameter of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.

Abstract

The depletion of fossil fuels has now occurred in various parts of the world. Meanwhile, the demand for fuel energy continues to increase. This condition encourages researchers to look for alternative fuels with high availability of raw materials. Bioethanol is an environmentally friendly renewable energy with biomass production raw materials, it can be an alternative solution to replace fuel oil. One of the biomass that has the potential to be used as a raw material for bioethanol production is tobacco. Tobacco stems have high cellulose and hemicellulose content so that they can be used in bioethanol production. This research method uses base pretreatment and base hydrolyzate, then fermentation and distillation processes are carried out. The results of tobacco stem bioethanol were analyzed using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach, Central Composite Design (CCD) model. During the fermentation process, three independent variables were used, namely the fermentation time of 72-168 hours, pH 4-5, and starter concentration of 0.1% - 0.3%. The results of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of ethanol content showed that the significant variables were the fermentation time and starter concentration. The results of the CCD analysis were obtained at optimum time conditions of 120 hours, pH 4.5 and starter concentration of 0.2% with a bioethanol content of 23.007%.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disorder primarily caused by the proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes. In response to increasing demand for natural and safer therapeutic alternatives, this study investigated the phytochemical composition, total flavonoid content, and antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract of Myristica fragrans flesh. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids—classes of compounds widely recognized for their antimicrobial properties. The total flavonoid content (TFC), determined using the aluminum chloride colorimetric method, was found to be 0.1582 ± 0.0044 mg quercetin equivalents per gram of dry extract. Antibacterial assays using the disc diffusion method demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of both Staphylococcus aureus and P. acnes, with greater efficacy observed against P. acnes. These results suggest that nutmeg flesh extract possesses significant antibacterial potential, particularly as a candidate for anti-acne cosmetic formulations. Moreover, this study highlights the underexplored value of nutmeg flesh—a byproduct of spice processing—as a sustainable source of bioactive compounds for skincare applications.

Abstract

Indonesia has a variety of wild plants that are beneficial for health, one of which is the Chinese betel leaf (Peperomia pellucida L.). Several studies have explored the use of Peperomia pellucida for health and cosmetic purposes. This plant can produce oleoresin, a compound obtained through the extraction of plants or materials using solvents. In this research, extraction was carried out using the Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) method. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of varying the mass of Peperomia pellucida and extraction time on the concentration of extracted oleoresin and its mass transfer coefficient. The experiments were conducted using variations in mass and extraction time until equilibrium concentration was reached, with a constant solvent volume. The resulting extract was then analyzed to determine the oleoresin concentration in the solvent under various conditions and to calculate the mass transfer coefficient (KC) by correlating oleoresin concentration with time. Based on the research that has been done with 200 ml of ethanol, variations in sample weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 grams and extraction time to constant concentration showed that the greater the sample mass and the longer the extraction time, the greater the concentration obtained. Additionally, KC values increased proportionally with sample mass, with the highest KC value of 4.4265×10⁻⁵ g ethanol/min.mm² observed at a sample mass of 4 grams.

Abstract

Indonesia's increasing number of tofu industries has led to a rise in waste volume from this sector, requiring exceptional management. Tofu wastewater, a byproduct of tofu production that is no longer utilized, contains a high concentration of organic matter and can adversely affect water supplies if discharged untreated. This study aims to investigate an efficient filtration technique using filtration media for processing tofu wastewater. The biofilter column used in this study was made from a Le Minerale gallon and comprised layers of zeolite, bio balls, bearings, and activated charcoal to filter and purify the water from organic substances. The results showed that while filtration effectively reduced Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from 995 ppm to 129 ppm after the fourth filtration, it was ineffective in neutralizing the pH of the tofu wastewater, which remained at pH 4 before and after filtration. This indicates that the wastewater remains acidic and cannot be directly discharged into the environment. Additionally, conductivity and salt levels increased after multiple filtrations, possibly due to ion release from the filter materials or saturation effects. This study reveals that the column configuration and filtration materials used were ineffective in removing acidic components from tofu wastewater. Therefore, design adjustments and filtration media selection are needed to achieve better results in treating tofu wastewater.

Abstract

The skin is the topmost layer safeguards the body and can be vulnerable to injuries, like cuts. Turmeric and sea cucumber are recognized for their effectiveness in healing wounds The research used natural polymers such as turmeric and sea cucumber, while the synthetic polymer used was polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Electrospinning equipment is used to produce the nanofibres. The variables investigated in this study were the concentrations of PVA, turmeric and sea cucumber. Gamat and curcuma are proven to accelerate wound healing but there is no literature that explains whether they are compatible with PVA in making nanofibres. The nanofibres were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The most optimal nanofiber composition for wound dressing applications is PVA with a concentration of 12%, turmeric 2%, and curcuma 0.5%.
