Abstract

The red betel plant (Piper porphyrophyllum) belongs to the Piperaceae family which is traditionally used to treat various diseases, including headaches, bone pain, chest tightness, leprosy, stomach ache, as well as for various other diseases such as skin diseases and diabetes. In this study, the antibacterial activity was tested for the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of red betel nut using the disc diffusion method and the isolation of secondary metabolites from the hexane fraction of red betel nut using column chromatography technique. Determination of the antibacterial activity of the three fractions showed that the methanol extract had better antibacterial activity compared to the hexane extract and ethyl acetate extract. UV spectrum analysis showed 3 bands with absorption of 282 nm in band I, 274.80 nm in band II and 224.80 nm in band III which means that they show characteristics for triterpenoid group compounds. FTIR analysis showed the presence of C-H, CH2, C=O, C-O alcohol and geminal dimethyl functional groups in the isolated compounds.

Abstract

Identification of adulteration of processed meat products with unwanted ingredients is a crucial issue. These meat products are prone to forgery and mix with porcine. Meat source authentication is important for Muslim consumers to whom comsumption of products containing pork and its derivatives in an products is prohibited. This present study aims at development of detection and quantification method of porcine DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) in processed meat products, sausages. Two novel primer pairs were designed specifically targeting fragment of Displacement Loop (D-Loop) and cytochrome b (cyt b) of porcine mitochondrial DNA and to generate 139 bp and 143 bp amplicons, respectively. Detection and quantification were accomplished by Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Porcine DNA standard curves and cycle threshold were used for quantification. The detection limit of porcine DNA was as little as 0.05 pg. Of all sausages tested (n=13), four of them contained porcine DNA as much 3.1 pg; 0.160 pg; 0.294 pg; and 0.110 pg in 0.001 mg of sausages for J, G, I, and L samples respectively. The specific qPCR assay method can be used for the detection of porcine DNA in minute amounts, which can be used for the halal authentication of food and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract

Lignin extract from jengkol peel (Pithecellobium jiringa) as a mild steel corrosion inhibitor in 1 M HCl solution was studied using weight loss method, characterization Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and optical microscopy. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing temperature and the concentration of lignin extract in 1 M HCl solution. The highest efficiency value was 90,1% with the addition of 10 g/L extracts at 60°C. The adsorption of lignin extract from jengkol peel followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters such as Gibbs energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and activation energy were calculated to determine the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. FTIR analysis and UV-Vis spectroscopy showed an interaction between lignin extract from jengkol peel and mild steel surface. Optical microscopy analysis showed that lignin extract from jengkol peel could reduce the formation of rust on the steel surface.

Abstract

In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized without adding extract (0% v/v) (control) and with the addition of Gunung Omeh orange peel extract with various concentration, namely 4% v/v, 10% v/v, and 20% v /v. This study aims to study the use of Gunung Omeh orange peel extract on the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles and determine its characteristics. The characteristics of the resulting nanoparticles were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-Visible (DRS UV-Vis), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Thermo Gravimetric and Differential Thermal Analyzer (TG-DTA). XRD results showed that the TiO2 phase formed was anatase. The optical property of TiO2 nanoparticles showed that the obtained TiO2 nanoparticles absorb in the UV region (200-400 nm). The results of SEM-EDX show that the resulting TiO2 nanoparticles are spherical. Meanwhile, the TOKJ20 sample has increased agglomeration so that the particle shape is rod-like. The EDX spectrum showes the presence of Ti and O peaks indicated the formation of TiO2. The results of BET measurement showed that the control TiO2 had a larger surface area of 66.11 m2/g compared to TiO2 using the addition of other orange peel extracts. From the results obtained, it was concluded that, in general, the addition of orange peel extract did not significantly affect the formation of TiO2 nanoparticles.

Abstract

Sambung nyawa (Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr) is one of the plants used in traditional medicine. This has life-saving properties such as preventing polyps, dysentery, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. In this study, the secondary metabolite content and antioxidant activity of sambung nyawa leaf extract were tested and its antioxidant activity. The extraction process was carried out by multilevel maceration using three different solvents, starting with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Secondary metabolite content test results showed that ironwood leaves contain flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, terpenoids, and alkaloids. The result of the antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method (1,1-Difenil-2- pikrilhidrazil) showed that the methanol extract showed very strong activity with an IC50 value of 15,01 mg/L, while the ethyl acetate showed moderate antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 147,04 mg/L, and the hexane extract showed antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 361,66 mg/L.

Abstract

SrTiO3 thin layer were synthesized through solvothermal method by using FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) glass as a conductive substrate. The raw materials strontium nitrate (Sr(NO3)2) and titanium tetra isopropoxide (TTIP) were dissolved in ethanol solvent. Sample purity, elemental compositions and surface morphology were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD analysis showed that the synthesized SrTiO3 thin layer at 200oC for 24 hours with the addition of CTAB and TBA had intensity peaks that mathced the SrTiO3 standard (ICSD #94573) with perovskite structure. This result was supported by the XRD pattern of the sample powder. The EDX spectrum showed that titanium and oxygen were in the sample, but the presence of strontium was not found, due to its weak intensity. Based on the SEM image, the morphology seen is distributed equally and the grain size is rather smaller in the sample with the addition of CTAB and TBA.

Abstract

Aniline transport using a supported liquid membrane technique has been carried out in the separation of aniline from aqueous solutions. The aniline transport process used vegetable oil as a liquid membrane and ceramics as a support material. The concentration aniline was determined using an UltraViolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 230 nm. Optimal conditions found that a good type of liquid membrane was olive oil, a pH value of 3 in the source phase, the concentration of aniline 12 x 10-5 M, the concentration of HCl 1.0 M, and a stirring time of 90 minutes. Under optimum conditions, the percentage of aniline in the receiving phase was 36.19% and source phase was 1.48%. HCl is not able to attract all the molecules that are in the membrane phase. The receiving compound which has a strong affinity will provide a large amount of transport for the aniline transport process.

Abstract

Phenol is one of the organic compounds that are toxic and carcinogenic. In this study ZnO/zeolite was used to degrade phenol by photolysis and its application to rubber waste. Phenol analysis was performed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), while the ZnO/zeolite characterization used FTIR and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the percentage of phenol degradation without a catalyst was 15.79% with UV irradiation for 75 minutes and increased to 79.63% with the addition of 0.4 g ZnO/zeolite. Phenol degradation in rubber wastewater samples using ZnO/zeolite obtained a degradation percentage of 58.28%. Phenol analysis before and after degradation showed a shift in wave number which indicated the occurrence of degradation. Characterization of ZnO/zeolite before and after degradation using FTIR and XRD showed that there was no change in the structure of ZnO/zeolite
