Abstract

Tuna, a valuable Indonesian marine commodity, is known for its highly valued dietary and nutritional sources. However, this red meat fish is particularly prone to deterioration and spoilage due to its inherent properties. Liquid smoking, a popular fish preservation method in Indonesia, has garnered significant consumer interest but remains insufficient to prevent fish decay entirely. Therefore, this study aimed to enhance tuna fish fillet (TFF) shelf life by developing a novel coating solution. This solution contains liquid smoke seasoning and chitosan with varying molecular weights (MW), as this property affects chitosan’s chemical, physical, and biological characteristics. In this research, fresh tuna were divided into four groups: a control group with no coating, a group with liquid smoke coating only (LS), a group coated using chitosan solution (Ch) with variations of MW (Low: 50-190 kDa, Medium: 190-310 kDa, and High: 210-375 kDa), and a group coated using liquid smoke seasoning with the same chitosan MW variation (Ch + LS). During 15 days of storage in the freezer, their chemical properties (pH, and Total Volatile Base Nitrogen - TVB-N) were analyzed. The finding showed that combining high MW of chitosan and liquid smoke as a coating solution improved TFF appearance, maintaining a desirable uniformly cherry red color. Moreover, this treatment showed a slower increase in pH (5.5 – 5.7) and TVB-N level (22 – 28 mg TVB-N/100 gram), indicating deterioration and spoilage delay during 15 days of storage compared to other treatments. This study underscores the efficacy of a preservation strategy in inhibiting deterioration and spoilage in tuna fish fillets during storage, thereby enhancing product quality and ensuring consumer safety.

Abstract

The exponential growth in printed circuit boards (PCBs) waste, presents an urgent environmental and economic challenge. PCBs contain silver which has a high potential economic value. The high production of waste and the potential economic value make it important to recycle PCB waste. Recycling can be conducted by leaching silver using Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES). DES is environmentally friendly and able to form complexes with various types of metals. This research aims to study the effect of the HBD carbon chain length of oxalic acid, malonic acid, and succinic acid from choline chloride-based eutectic solvents (DES) on the efficiency of leaching silver from Printed Circuit Board (PCB) waste. Optimization of the solid/liquid ratio, time, and temperature is carried out to obtain optimum leaching conditions. The synthesis results show that DES oxaline 2:1, malin 1:1, and succilin 2:1 have good stability, forming a colorless, clear, and viscous solution. FTIR analysis shows a shift in the wave number of the -OH group due to hydrogen bond interactions between HBA and HBD molecules in the formation of DES. The leaching yield of DES against standard silver oxide was measured using AAS. DES oxaline 2:1 has the greatest efficiency compared to other DES variations. The results of optimizing standard silver leaching with DES oxaline showed that the S/L ratio was 40 mg/mL, with a time of 18 hours, at a temperature of 60°C which resulted in a recovery percentage of 90.90%, while for the PCB waste sample yielded an efficiency of 99.38%. The eutectic solvent oxaline has the potential to be an environmentally friendly solvent that is efficient in leaching silver from PCB electronic waste.

Abstract

The quality of palm oil is strongly influenced by temperature. The oxidation of palm oil can be caused by high temperatures. The higher the storage temperature, the faster oxidation occurs. In this research, the temperature significantly affects the quality of several palm oil derivative products such as Palm Olein, Palm Stearin, Palm Kernel Oil, and Palm Kernel Stearin. Antioxidants are very effective in resisting the increase in the oxidation reaction of some palm oil commodities. With the addition of tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), the increase in peroxide value, p-anisidine values, free fatty acid, color tends to be slower than without the addition of antioxidants. For PV, BHT was the most effective antioxidant for RPKOL at a 29.75% increase, RBDOL at 9.91%, and RBDST at 5.26% but for RPKS TBHQ was the most effective increase at 19.83%. For anisidine value, TBHQ+BHT was most effective for RPKOL with a 61.62% increase, TBHQ for RPKS with 76.76%, BHT for RBDOL and RBDST with 15.37% and 14.46%. In the FFA test, BHT was effective for RPKOL and RPKS with a percentage increase of 6.48% and 6.67%, but TBHQ was effective for RBDOL and RBDST to controlled FFA with an increase of 8.41% and 3.38%. In color testing, TBHQ proved to be the effective antioxidant for RPKOL and RBDOL, resulting in percentage increases of 8.71% and 2.13%, respectively. For RPKS, the combination of TBHQ and BHT was employed, resulting in no percentage increase (0%). Additionally, BHT at 3.85% was used for RBDST. At a temperature of 130°C, an oxidation process was observed, indicating the formation of an aldehyde compound. This was evidenced by the FT-IR spectrum, showing peaks at wave numbers 1760 cm⁻¹ (C=O of aldehyde) and 2900 cm⁻¹ (CH on aldehyde). In this research, we can also see the formation of trans fatty acids C18:1n9t in GC-FID's peak area

Abstract

Liquid smoke resulting from pyrolysis of durian skin has antibacterial potential which is used as a basic ingredient for making bio hand sanitizer. Durian skin is difficult to degrade because it contains high levels of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose compounds, so with the use of durian skin, it is expert that it will be able to reduce durian skin waste. Bio hand sanitizer is formulated with essential oils to reduce the pungent aroma of smoke. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity and characteristics of the durian skin liquid smoke bio hand sanitizer. This study used the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method, with a comparison between durian peel liquid smoke and orange peel extract and the addition of 10 mL NaOH (1:3, 1:1,57, 1:1, and 3:1). The results of research based on characteristic tests obtained pH values of 4.81-7.36, viscosity 1392-3664 cps. Formula E (3:1) emerged as the best sample through organoleptic tests on each bio hand sanitizer preparation formula. It exhibited a yellow color, a runny texture, and a smoky aroma with the mixture. The antibacterial test demonstrated that the bio hand sanitizer preparation possessed antibacterial activity, and the resistance diameter for the test bacteria S. Aureus and E. Coli ranged from 21.51 to 31.14 mm

Abstract

Formaldehyde in solution, commonly known as formalin, is often utilized. In Indonesia, there is widespread misuse of formalin as a food preservative. Formaldehyde has been identified as a carcinogenic substance by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Based on this background, the present study developed a sensor compound capable of detecting formaldehyde obviously. The compound 3'-(4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)dianiline (ChP-2A) has been successfully synthesized through the reduction reaction of the compound 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,6-bis(3-nitrophenyl)pyridine (ChP-0A) using 80% hydrazine hydrate and 10% Pd/C as a catalyst. The ChP-2A compound in acetonitrile exhibits a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity (turn-off) after the addition of formaldehyde, and it has been successfully applied in the form of a test paper for the detection of formaldehyde qualitatively

Abstract

Corrosion is a decrease in the quality of a metal material caused by a reaction with the environment. Corrosion cannot be eliminated, but corrosion can be slowed down in several ways by adding corrosion inhibitors and synergistic effects. Acacia bark extract (Acacia mangium Willd) with the addition of 0.02 M KI has the potential as a corrosion inhibitor for steel because it contains secondary metabolites, so it can provide a synergistic effect and increase the value of inhibition efficiency on steel. This research aimed to analyze the effect of a mixture of acacia bark extracts (Acacia mangium Willd) with the addition of KI on inhibition efficiency corrosion of mild steel in sulfuric acid media. The method used in this study is the method of weight loss, adsorption isotherms, and thermodynamic parameters, which were carried out by varying the concentration of acacia bark extract and the immersion temperature of the steel. To strengthen the research results, characterization was carried out using FTIR and SEM. The results showed that the corrosion rate of mild steel immersed in 0.75 M H2SO4 corrosive medium with the addition of 0.02 M KI increased with increasing immersion temperature. These results are reinforced by the results of FTIR and SEM analysis which show that there is an interaction between mild steel and acacia bark extract (Acacia mangium Willd) and KI 0.02 M. Based on the thermodynamic parameters, the resulting values of ∆Hads, ∆Gads, and ∆Sads show that the adsorption process of acacia bark extract (Acacia mangium Willd) in corrosive medium H2SO4 0.75 M with the addition of 0.02 M KI took place spontaneously, showing the type of physical adsorption, adsorbed stable, the adsorption process was exothermic and the degree of irregularity in the adsorption process. The inhibition efficiency of acacia bark extract (Acacia mangium Willd) with the addition of 0.02 M KI was highest at 60 °C with an extract concentration of 2.5 g/L of 81%. The higher the immersion temperature, the greater the resulting synergistic effect

Abstract

Remazol Brilliant blue is an azo dye that is widely used in textile dyeing. The most appropriate handling method to be used in overcoming problems caused by textile dye waste is adsorption. Fly ash is an adsorbent that can be used to overcome this problem. Chemical activation was carried out using 1 M HCl solution. Besides that, physical activation was also carried out at 500°C for 1 hour. Research is needed to determine the optimum conditions for fly ash in dye adsorption to produce high adsorption efficiency. XRF characterization showed that palm shell fly ash was dominated by CaO of 71.064% and SiO2 of 15.734%. Characterization using FTIR shows the presence of Si-O groups in Fly ash. To analyze the surface morphology of the fly ash adsorbent, an SEM test was carried out and it was known that the surface morphology of the fly ash adsorbent after chemical and physical activation showed pore formation. Characterization using Surface Area Analyzer showed a surface area of 13.6153 m2/g. optimum absorption conditions at pH 6 with an adsorption capacity of 15.84 mg/g. optimum contact time of 60 minutes with an adsorption capacity of 15.54 mg/g. The optimum adsorbent mass is 0.5 g with an adsorption capacity of 9.54 mg/g and the optimum adsorbent concentration is at 200 ppm with an adsorption capacity of 69.08 mg/g. In this study the adsorption model used is the Freundlich isotherm. Based on the research result, it is known that fly ash is a suitable adsorbent for dye adsorption which is characterized by high color removal efficiency. Further characterization regarding the initial conditions of fly ash is needed as a comparison for fly ash after activation

Abstract

In the development of advanced materials and various technological applications, the preparation and sintering processes have become two important factors in determining material characteristics. This research focuses on two main aspects, namely the effect of fish bone preparation by soaking in acetone and the surface area of the material in the sintering process as part of the process of developing better materials. This research aims to determine the effect of soaking fish bone powder with acetone and the effect of the surface area of sintered fish bones to produce hydroxyapatite (HA). The immersion process with acetone is included in the sample preparation stage, while the sintering process is included in the material synthesis stage. These two things can affect the characteristics of the HA produced after analysis from the X-ray diffraction test. The HA structure obtained from all samples is hexagonal with cell parameter values a = b ≠ c and space group P 63 / m, where all samples have a value range of a = b = 9,42 Å and c = 6,88 Å. HA crystallinity was identified through the XRD peak at 2θ = 25,8 (002); 31,7 (211); 32,1 (112); 32,8 (300); 34,0 (202); 39,7 (310); 46,6 (222); 49,4 (213); 50,4 (321). The PAF-900 and CAF-900 samples are similar to HA in JCPDS 01-089-4405 whose compound formula is Ca5(PO4)3(OH) while the PWAF-900 sample is similar to HA in JCPDS 01-075-3727 whose compound formula is Ca5(PO4)3(CO3)0.01(OH)1.3. The percentage of crystallinity of PAF-900, CAF-900, and PWAF-900 respectively was 84,767; 73,506; and 71,962% with HA grain sizes of 0,8964; 0,6808, and 0,7398 nm. The HA density of PAF-900 and CAF-900 samples is 3,149 g/cm3 while PWAF-900 is 3,146 g/cm3. Based on this description, it can be concluded that the soaking preparation stage with acetone produces HA with the chemical formula Ca5(PO4)3OH with a higher percentage of crystallization and is denser compared to HA obtained without going through the soaking preparation stage with acetone. The sintering stage also plays an important role in increasing the crystallization percentage. The surface area of the material being sintered also influences the percentage of crystallization and the grain size of the resulting HA. Sintered fish bone powder produces a greater percentage of crystallization and grain size than fish bone chunks

Abstract

Acalypha indica is an abundant and obtainable wild weed plant in Indonesia. This is a possible opportunity to enhance its utility. The effect of free radicals is one of the factors that contribute to oxidative stress in the body, which can lead to cell damage and trigger various diseases. Plants rich in antioxidants can inhibit free radical reactions and protect the body from oxidative stress. In this study, we conducted the identification of major metabolite compounds using UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS from 70% ethanol extracts of Acalypha indica. We also performed phytochemical and antioxidant activity tests with various concentrations of ethanol-water solvents including water, 30%, 50%, 70% ethanol, and absolute ethanol to determine the optimal extraction conditions and the influence of solvent concentration on the antioxidant activity of Acalypha indica extract. The results of UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS identification showed that the 70% ethanol extract of Acalypha indica contains 10 major compounds suspected to correlate with its antioxidant activity. These include five flavonoids compounds (palasitrin, vitexin 2"-o-p-coumarate, isorhamnetin 3- (3",6"-di-p-coumarylglucoside), peucenin, and sulfuretin), two amino acid compounds (2-amino-3-carboxymuconic acid semialdehyde and N-Acetyl-L-phenylalanine), two carboxylic acid compound (citric acid and traumatic acid), and one phenolic compound (quinic acid). Phytochemical tests show positive results for flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and triterpenoids in each of water, 30%, 50%, 70% ethanol, and absolute ethanol extracts. The best antioxidant activity was obtained from the 70% ethanol extract with an IC50 value of 47.064 ppm, categorizing it as an extremely strong antioxidant.

Abstract

Kalanchoe, as Cocor Bebek, is a genus of plants that is often used in traditional medicine because it has various biological activities, one of which is as an antioxidant. The development of research was carried out on the secondary metabolites compounds of endophytic fungi from the stem of K. millotii as the Cocor Bebek species. Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that live in plant tissues, generally producing secondary metabolites that have bioactivities such as anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial. One of the endophytic fungi isolated from the stem of K. millotii was identified as Penicillium citrinum. The potential antioxidant activity of the secondary metabolites contained in the ethyl acetate extract of the endophytic fungus P. citrinum is interesting to study. The sample extract was extracted using non-polar, semi-polar, and polar solvents. The ethyl acetate extract was separated and purified by various chromatographic methods to obtain 8 mg compound 1, as a yellow solid. The chemical structure was determined by spectroscopic methods. Based on spectrum analysis of 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR, FTIR, and UV-Vis, compound 1 was identified as 4-(2-ethylbutoxy)-3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. Antioxidant activity testing of ethyl acetate extract and compound 1 was carried out using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-pikrilhidrazyl) method. The test results on the extract showed weak activity with an IC50 value of 401.01 ppm while compound 1 showed moderate activity with an IC50 value of 221.41 ppm
