Abstract

Water is a resource that is vulnerable to quality degradation due to anthropogenic activities and environmental disasters. The Lapindo mudflow that has been occurring since 2006 in Sidoarjo has the potential to affect the condition of surrounding waters, including the Gempolsari River, which is located near the affected area. This study aims to analyze the water quality of the Gempolsari River using physical-chemical parameters as a basis for determining environmental quality status. The methods used included water sampling and analysis of selected parameters, namely pH, DO, TDS, nitrate (NO3-), ammonia (NH3), and heavy metals. The analysis was carried out using simple field test equipment and compared with river water quality standards based on Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021. The results showed that the nitrate level was 50 mg/L, which exceeded the threshold, indicating nutrient pollution. Other parameters such as ammonia (0 mg/L), most heavy metals (0 mg/L), pH (7.5), TDS (0.308 mg/L), and DO (10 mg/L) were still within the quality standards. However, the concentrations of magnesium (425 mg/L) and carbon (425 mg/L) were detected to exceed the standards. These findings indicate that the water quality of the Gempolsari River is relatively good for most parameters, but is lightly to moderately polluted due to nutrient loads, particularly nitrates, and certain mineral content. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring of water quality in the areas affected by the Lapindo mudflow. The results can be used as a basis for environmental management recommendations and pollution mitigation efforts for the sake of aquatic ecosystem sustainability and public health protection.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to optimize the nanoemulsion formulation of combined extracts of Centella asiatica and Moringa oleifera leaves using varying concentrations of Tween 80 as a surfactant. Three formulas were prepared with 8%, 10%, and 12% Tween 80. Physical evaluations included particle size, pH, and viscosity. Results showed that increasing Tween 80 concentration increased particle size and viscosity, while pH remained relatively stable. The 8% Tween 80 formula yielded the most optimal result with the smallest particle size and suitable viscosity for topical application. One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in particle size and viscosity, but not in pH. These findings indicate that Tween 80 concentration affects the physical stability of the nanoemulsion Key words: kelor leaves, pegagan leaves, nanoemulsion, tween 80

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of extraction time variations on the yield and total curcuminoids of 96% ethanol extract of temu giring (Curcuma heyneana) using the Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) method. Extraction was performed at 20, 60, 120, and 150 seconds using an 800-watt microwave with a 1:10 (w/v) solvent ratio. Yield was calculated based on total solids, while total curcuminoids were quantified using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 469 nm. The results showed an increase in yield from 2.40% (20 s) to 7.52% (150 s) and total curcuminoids from 2.3962 µg/mL to 5.9593 µg/mL. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between treatments (****p < 0, 0001). Based on the tested time range 150-second exteaction time was identified as optimum, maximizing cell rupture and solvent diffusion without compromising thermal stability of curcuminoids. Thus, extraction time plays a key role in optimizing green extraction of temu giring.
