Abstract

The halal industry is rapidly growing worldwide, especially in Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population and abundant natural resources. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical properties and quality of beef tallow and lard oil, as well as to identify differences in FTIR and GC-MS spectra to distinguish between these two animal fats.The results show that lard oil has a higher extraction yield (30%) compared to beef tallow (17%). Lard oil also has a higher iodine value (53 g), indicating a greater proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, making it suitable for culinary applications. Conversely, beef tallow has a lower peroxide value (5 meq O₂/kg), indicating better resistance to oxidation.FTIR analysis reveals differences in functional groups, with lard oil showing a higher degree of unsaturation. GC-MS analysis identifies important compounds such as 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester in lard oil, while beef tallow is dominated by tetradecanoic acid methyl ester.This study emphasizes the need for the development of Indonesian National Standards (SNI) to ensure product quality and halal compliance. These findings provide important insights for the halal industry and food safety in Indonesia, as well as encouraging further research on the composition of animal fats.

Abstract

Avocado peel waste, a significant byproduct of the global avocado industry, represents an underutilized resource rich in bioactive compounds, prompting growing interest in its potential pharmacological applications. This review addresses the need to explore these compounds within the context of sustainable waste management and natural therapeutic development, aiming to evaluate their chemical composition and biological activities. A comprehensive analysis was conducted by synthesizing data from peer-reviewed studies, focusing on phytochemical identification using advanced techniques such as UHPLC-QTOF-MS, HPLC-DAD, and LC-DAD-ESI-MS, alongside pharmacological assessments via methods like DPPH, TBARS, and in vitro assays. The findings reveal that avocado peels, particularly from the Hass cultivar, contain diverse phytochemicals including phenolics, flavonoids, and organic acids, exhibiting antioxidant, neuroprotective, antibacterial, antifungal, antiplatelet, antiaging, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. These activities are attributed to mechanisms such as radical scavenging, enzyme inhibition, and apoptosis induction, with specific studies highlighting neuroprotective effects in Parkinson’s disease models. The review concludes that avocado peel waste holds substantial promise as a sustainable source of bioactive compounds for food and pharmaceutical applications, though challenges like bioavailability and cultivar variability necessitate further research. Innovative extraction and formulation strategies could unlock its full therapeutic potential, contributing to a circular economy and health innovation.

Abstract

Maternal mortality rate (MMR) remains a major priority in global health. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that MMR will decrease to 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030. However, in 2015, MMR in Indonesia reached 305 per 100,000 live births. Drug Related Problems (DRPs) are undesirable events that occur due to drug therapy and can hinder the recovery process of patients. Identifying drug-related issues during treatment is crucial for reducing morbidity, mortality, and therapy costs, as well as enhancing the effectiveness of pharmacological therapy.vThis study aims to identify DRPs caused by the use of the combination of Nifedipine and Magnesium Sulfate in preeclamptic patients at RSIA Sitti Khadijah 1 Makassar. The research method employed is non-experimental (observational) with a descriptive (qualitative) approach. The results indicate that among 32 preeclamptic patients who consumed the combination of Nifedipine and Magnesium Sulfate, there were no reported DRPs or adverse effects that jeopardized the patients' lives. These findings suggest that the combination therapy is in accordance with the management guidelines for preeclampsia in pregnant women based on national medical service protocols.

Abstract

Borax is a chemical that is hazardous to health and is often misused as a food additive. The addition of this chemical is to make food chewier and more durable. It is important to test the presence of borax in snacks around us. The purpose of this study was to test the presence of borax in meatballs sold in the town square in one of the cities in East Java. The test method was carried out qualitatively, namely organoleptic test, AgNO3 test, turmeric extract test, and borax test kit. The results showed that all meatball samples tested positive for borax. Organoleptically, meatballs containing preservatives do not easily become soft (remain chewy), do not give off a bad smell for longer, and do not grow mold easily. This kind of research is important to anticipate the emergence of diseases due to borax abuse.
