Abstract

Lipase enzyme is an acyl hydrolase that functions in the digestion and processing of fat. Lipase enzyme have activities that can hydrolyze various fats and oils, each one unit per mL (U/mL) of lipase enzyme activity can release 1 µmol of free fatty acids per minute. Lipase enzyme activity at optimum conditions obtained from measurements of enzymatic activity at modification of temperature and pH. Lipase enzyme can be found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a plant that produces lipase enzymes which can produce Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). VCO can be converted into diacylglicerol (DAG) by hydrolysis or trans-esterification using chemical or enzymatic methods. DAG is a type of healthy oil that can reduce the content of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and become a plasminogen inhibitor. Key words: Lipase, Diacyglycerol (DAG), Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

Abstract

Artritis reumatoid (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by inflammatory mediators that migrate to synovial and particular tissues. The disease is characterized by synovial inflammation that leads to the destruction of cartilage and joint damage. Although conventional treatments of AR such as NSAID, corticosteroid and DMARDs commonly alleviate the symptoms of AR, but the high edverse of these treatments leads AR patients toward alternative medicine. The purpose of the present review is to evaluate the potential of secang in rheumatoid arthritis therapy. Various phytochemical components of secang provide pharmacological effects such as antioxidant activity in suppressing oxidative stress as a promoter for disease, including inflammation. Anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis activities of secang are able to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine regulation and cartilage degradation in AR. The pharmacological effect of secang has the potential to be used as a functional food or supplement in the therapy of AR by preventing, treating and repairing the damage caused by AR.. Key words: Anti-arthritis, Anti-infammatory, Anti-oxidant, Artritis Reumatoid, Caesalpinia sappan L.

Abstract

TiO2 or commonly called Titanium dioxide is a semiconductor transition metal. This metal is commercially shaped white powder. This material is often used in research into the development of photocatalysts effects in material. TiO2 is used in paints as compounds that give rise to self-cleaning properties. This property is the nature of a material to clean itself from impurities. Self cleaning works with the help of the photocatalyst effect, which is where with the help of photon energy. Therefore semiconductor material can be used in these properties. This is because Titanium dioxide is a semiconductor compound which has a band gap energy of 3.2 eV for the anastase phase, and for the rutile phase of 3.0 eV. This study aims to determine the effect of calcination temperature on the characteristics of TiO2 compounds. In this research, TTiP is a precursor of TiO2 synthesis, and the method used is the sol-gel method. After synthesis, TiO2 is calcined at 400°C, 450°C, 500°C, and 550°C. The characterization carried out in this research is to use the Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) instrument that functions to determine the functional groups formed and the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) instrument which functions to determine the phase composition of the compound. From the research that has been carried out obtained functional groups -OH, Ti-O, and Ti-O-Ti. This shows that TiO2 was successfully formed through the sol-gel method. In the phase analysis, the results showed that TiO2 is in the anastase phase. This shows that TiO2 can function well when applied to photocatalysts Keywords: Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), Calcination Temperature, photocatalysts, Self cleaning

Abstract

Prebiotics are a component of food that cannot be digested by human digestion, but can be used as growth nutrients for the intestinal microflora and can provide health benefits. Inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are types of prebiotics that are widely developed for now. This review aims to determine (1) the potential of inulin and FOS as prebiotics, (2) lactic acid bacteria that can grow on inulin and FOS, and 3) the potential of local food as a source of inulin and FOS. Inulin and FOS are prebiotics because they have β(2-1) bonds so that they have resistance to hydrolysis by acids and enzymes found in the digestive tract and can only be utilized by the intestinal microflora. The results of inulin and FOS metabolism by lactic acid bacteria are able to provide health benefits such as lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels, lowering blood pressure and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Inulin and FOS can be utilized by several strains of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus plantarum B1765, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacilus acidophilus, Leuconostoc mesentroides, Bifidobacterium breve, and Bifidobacterium longum. Inulin and FOS can be found in easily found local foodstuffs such as sweet potatoes, arrowroot, gembili, yam, garlic, dahlia tubers and taro, can be used as growth media for several strains of lactic acid bacteria and provide several health effects so that they can be used as alternative sources of prebiotics

Abstract

The need for fresh food continues to increase. Fresh food has a short shelf life. This can be overcome by active packaging containing antimicrobial substances. Zeolite is modified by ion exchange with silver, where silver acts as an antimicrobial agent. This study aims to study the changes in the mechanical properties of the PVA/chitosan mixture with the addition of zeolite-Ag compared to without the addition of zeolite-Ag. The variation in this study is the addition of zeolite-Ag to the PVA/CS composite, namely (0.025; 0.05; 0.1; 0.2)%. The films that have been made were analyzed in terms of mechanical properties, FTIR, and surface morphology microstructure. Composite films containing zeolite-Ag showed an increase in tensile strength and elasticity, where confirmed zeolite can be used as a reinforcing material in polymer matrices. The composite film with 0.025% zeolite-Ag content has a tensile strength value of 46.534 MPa, because zeolite-Ag can be homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix. FTIR analysis showed that the mixture of PVA and chitosan proved to be uniformly mixed. Morphological microstructural analysis showed homogeneous surface results, there was no visible appearance of zeolite-Ag aggregates on the PVA/CS film, whereas on films containing 0.025% zeolite-Ag there was a heterogeneous surface and the appearance of black circles indicating the presence of zeolite-Ag. Key words: characterization, film composite, zeolit, silver
