Abstract

The stem of Spatholobus littoralis has been used to treat cancer and is empirically utilized by the Dayak people on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study aims to explore the antioxidant activity of Bajakah stems extracted using nine different solvent variations and to test their anticancer activity and toxicity in silico. The in vitro methods used to assess antioxidant activity are the DPPH and ABTS assays. The applications utilized for the in silico methods include SwissADME, Deep-PK, ProTox 3.0, STITCH, and AutoDock Vina. The test results show that the antioxidant activity of the 70% ethanol extract has a good profile. Meanwhile, the toxicity test of the contained bioactive compounds indicates a good safety level with a minimum IC50 value of 1034 mg/kg. The bioactive compounds exhibit good affinity, with the highest values for the bioactive daidzein at receptors 1di8 and 3twj, with values of -9.5 and -8.8, respectively. It can be concluded from this study that the stem of Spatholobus littoralis has potential as an anticancer agent, although its antioxidant potential is low.

Abstract

Background: Protein-energy deficiency in school-age children is one of the problems caused by malnutrition in Indonesia. The potential local food ingredients can be used to prevent protein-energy deficiency. This research was conducted to determine the effect of substituting snakehead fish and pumpkin on the nutritional value of bitterballen. Method: This research is an experimental study. The substitution of pumpkin and snakehead fish was made using four formulas. The nutritional value of energy, protein, fat, and total carbohydrate was assessed to analyze the portion recommendation. Result: The energy content of raw bitterballen was increased, but decreased sequentially after cooking. The protein content of raw bitterballen was increased, however, in the fried bitterballen it was decreased sequentially. The fat content was increased drastically in all formulations after cooking. Total carbohydrate content was decreased both in the raw and fried bitterballen. Conclusion: In raw bitterballen, the energy content was higher in the substituted formula, mainly due to the increase in protein and fat from the addition of snakehead. The carbohydrate content decreased with adding pumpkin since it contains relatively low carbohydrates. The recommended portion for a snack is two pieces of fried bitterballen (50 g) per serving to meet the energy-protein needs of school-age children.

Abstract

For Muslim customers, the halal validity of cosmetics is a major concern. In cosmetics industry, one critical aspect is the contamination of porcine derivatives in halal cosmetic products. This review method discusses the application of real-time PCR (RT-PCR) for the detection of porcine DNA in cosmetic products, including the principle of the method, DNA extraction protocol, primers and probes design, and method application in various types of cosmetic products. DNA extraction from the cosmetic matrix samples requires optimization due to the complexity of the material and the possibility of DNA degradation during the cosmetic production process. The precise primers and probes design is also crucial to ensure specificity towards porcine DNA. The application of the RT-PCR method has been successful in various forms of cosmetics such as creams, lotions, lipsticks, and soaps, although each type of cosmetic product has unique challenges. Performance evaluation of the RT-PCR method showed good repeatability and reproducibility with coefficients of variation (CV) below 10% in numerous studies. The main challenges of the method include extraction of DNA due to the DNA degradation during the cosmetics production process, interference from cosmetic ingredients to RT-PCR analysis, and the need for method standardization. Solutions that have been developed such as the use of short gene targets, PCR additives to overcome inhibitors, and amplification techniques such as digital PCR to improve sensitivity. The recent development has led to the integration of protein-based methods and international standardization to support cosmetic halal certifications.
