Abstract

Liquid-liquid extraction is one of the methods for separating rare earth elements (REE) in the presence of an extractant. The separation of REE ions, complex with an extractant, involves interfacial migrations that are influenced by the diffusion of the respective ions. Therefore, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on REE ions (La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+) in a water-n-hexane system to determine if each ion exhibited a distinct diffusion coefficient. By employing molecular dynamics simulations, we calculated diffusion coefficients for these ions based on the Einstein relation. The diffusion coefficients for La3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+ were found to be 4.21×10–6, and 3.96×10–6, 4.57×10–6, 4.17×10–6, and 5.19×10–6 cm2/s, respectively. However, statistical analysis via the Kruskal-Wallis test revealed no significant variance in the diffusion coefficients (p-value greater than 0.05), indicating that diffusion is not a rate-limiting factor in REE separation. The findings suggest that effective mixing during extraction can eliminate the role of diffusion as a differentiating factor in REE separation. Overall, this study offers critical insights into optimizing REE extraction processes

Abstract

Shrimp is an Indonesian’s export commodity with high economic value increasing every year. Usually, shrimps are exported in the form of frozen shrimp without shells, heads, tails, and entrails. It resulted in the accumulation of shrimp waste leading to the increasing environmental pollution. Shrimp waste contains high contents of chitin which can be processed to a chitosan owing several benefits. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum condition of the synthesis of chitosan from chitin isolated by the autolysis method. The deproteination was carried out by soaking the shrimp waste in an acidic solution (pH 2 – 3) for 10 d. The demineralization process was done by reacting the deproteinated solids in a hydrochloric acid solution at pH 0 – 1 for 24 h. Parameters varied in this study time (1 – 3 h), chitin to NaOH ratio (1:10 – 1:30 (w/v)), and temperature (60 – 120℃). The higher all parameters used, the higher the obtained degree of deacetylation (DD) which is in the range of 18.35±1.13 to 48.6±0.51%. On the other hand, the obtained yield decreased from 50.66±1.98% to 47.78±0.81%. The optimum condition was obtained at a synthesis temperature of 120℃, chitin to NaOH ratio of 1:20 g/mL, and time of 3 h producing chitosan with DD of 54.25 ± 2.27%, and yield of 47.7 ± 0.65%. Chitosan synthesized using optimum conditions produced a relatively homogeneous thin film. Polyaniline was then introduced to the film to obtain a smart film prototype. This smart film was able to detect the pH changes proven by the change in its color. The smart film also could be potentially used as a “smart pack” for detecting product decay which releases ammonia gas.

Abstract

In recent advancements, the development of smart packaging systems for food has focused on utilizing composite materials to enhance functionality and sustainability. In this study, the composite film from chitosan and PVA was combined at various concentrations (ranging from 0.1% to 0.5%) with the addition of Cu(500mM) and 1% STPP at a 5:1 ratio. An additional indicator was included to detect fish spoilage. The synthesized chitosan material was then blended with PVA to form a composite film. The film was characterized using FTIR, which confirmed the presence of fingerprint vibrations indicating the cross-linking between TPP, chitosan, and Cu. These bonds were observed at wave numbers 1118 cm-1, 879 cm-1, and 603 cm-1. SEM analysis revealed that the film had particle sizes ranging from 865 nm to 1.49 μm. XRD analysis showed distinctive features of pure chitosan and chitosan composite. The composite film K-05 produced an amorphous structure, indicating decreased crystallinity due to the addition of STPP and Cu. The water uptake test demonstrated that an increased concentration of chitosan in the composite led to higher absorption and solubility effects. Conversely, the addition of chitosan in the film decreased water vapor permeability as determined by the water vapor permeability test. The antibacterial test conducted on all films (concentration of 0.1% to 0.5%) indicated that the films K-01 and K-02 exhibited the best zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli. This study sucessfully synthesized and characterized a smart packaging film composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan, copper (Cu), and bromocresol green (BCG) indicator, designed to monitor food freshness through visual pH changes and inhibition of microbial growth.

Abstract

Centella asiatica known as pegagan in Indonesia, belongs to the Apiaceae family and is widely used as salad, cosmetics ingredients, and herbal medicine for improving memory. This research aimed to determine the total phenolics content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (AC), and FTIR spectrum of C. asiatica leaves extracts using different extraction methods. C. asiatica extracts were prepared using maceration, reflux, and ultrasonication. The Folin-Ciocalteu method was used to determine TPC, and we found a higher level of TPC when using maceration, about 9,96 ± 0,20 mg GAE g-1 dry powder. Antioxidant capacity from the three extracts was measured using DPPH and FRAP methods. The highest antioxidant capacity using DPPH and FRAP methods was found in C. asiatica leaves extract using maceration with a value of 29,60 ± 0,71 and 14,04 ± 0,38 𝜇mol TE g-1 dry powder, respectively. The FTIR spectrum of each extract indicates the presence of vibration from several functional groups such as O-H, C-H, and C=C, likely from phenolics and C-O. The pattern of FTIR spectrum from the three C. asiatica leaves extracts gives different spectrum profiles and characteristics. Principal component analysis using FTIR spectrum data shows good clustering for each extract with 89% data variability (PC1 77% and PC2 12%). It can be concluded that TPC, AC, and FTIR spectrum profiles are different when using different extraction methods.

Abstract

Black fruit is a native Papuan plant that faces extinction if it is not propagated. The availability of scientific information on the potential use of black fruit can help proliferate this plant. This study investigates the potential of black fruit plants in the leaves and flesh of the fruit using extraction, characterization, and extract activity testing. Extraction was carried out by maceration using a 96% ethanol solvent. Characterization was carried out by FTIR, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, and phytochemical screening. The antioxidant activity test was carried out by the DPPH method, the antibacterial test was carried out by the well diffusion method, and the toxicity test was carried out by the BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method. The results showed that the ethanol extract of black fruit flesh separated into two layers when stored in the refrigerator, while the leaf extract did not. Leaf extract is richer in phytochemical content compared to fruit flesh. Antioxidant and antibacterial activities were higher in leaf extracts than in fruit pulp extracts. Toxicity test results showed that the ethanol extract of black fruit leaves has the potential to be used as a food additive for antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The potential benefits of the ethanol extract of black fruit leaves and flesh can encourage cultivation and post-harvest management of this plant.

Abstract

Industrial development in Indonesia has caused increased pollution, including water pollution by heavy metals, one of which is the metal ion Cu(II). Cellulose acetate composite membranes have been widely used to overcome the problem of Cu(II) metal ion content in water, however, studies on the performance of cellulose acetate membranes with various types of chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) composites have not been widely reported. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of cellulose acetate composite membranes with chitosan, PEG, and PVA using FTIR and SEM and to determine the performance of these cellulose acetate composite membranes in filtering Cu(II) metal from the resulting rejection values. The membrane was made using the phase inversion method and the composite membrane was made using the dip-coating method. The results of characterization using FTIR showed that there were no new peaks in all cellulose acetate composites, so there were only physical interactions in the composites. SEM analysis shows that the surface of the composite membrane is more irregular and the porosity increases. The performance of the composite membrane in filtering Cu(II) metal is better than the pure cellulose acetate membrane.

Abstract

A metabolic disorders that have experienced a significant increase in the world are diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is caused by two main factors: the first is damage to pancreatic beta cells, which prevents insulin from being produced, and the second is impaired insulin secretion and function. Chronic diabetes, if not treated properly, can lead to acute complications including eye, kidney, lung, nerve, and even death. Diabetes can be diagnosed through blood and urine. In general, glucose detection is carried out using invasive methods that use blood samples, which can cause pain and discomfort for users. Current research is developing non-invasive glucose detection using urine samples. This research aims to develop non-invasive glucose detection technology using 3D-connector μPADs (Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices) which have the advantages of being safe, easy, and simple. The three-dimensional connector on the device functions as a connector to facilitate the coordination of fluid flow in the sample zone and detection zone. The glucose detection method uses gold (III) chloride as a gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) precursor, an aqueous extract of Acalypha indica Linn as a stabilizing agent, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a catalyst, and glucose in artificial urine as a sample. Method validation results using imageJ software indicated linearity with a coefficient of determination value (R2) of 0.9714, precision with a %RSD value (Relative Standard Deviation) of 2.69, and an accuracy level ranging from 92.22-99.23%.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal cell growth, which can invade adjacent tissues or metastasize to other organs. Secang (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is a plant that has been used as an alternative medicine for a variety of health conditions, including some types of cancer. This study aims to determine whether the brazilin compound found in secang wood can interact with the target receptors estrogen alpha, 17-β-HSD-1, and NUDT5, potentially serving as an anticancer candidate. Molecular docking simulations were employed to identify the molecular interactions of brazilin against estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) (PDB ID: 3ERT), 17β-HSD-1 (PDB ID: 3HB5), and NUDT5 (PDB ID: 5NQR) using AutoDockTools software. The results showed that the best free-binding energy (ΔG) value obtained for brazilin against the 17-β-HSD-1 receptor was -9.16 kcal/mol, with an inhibition constant of 192.45 nM. The ΔG value of brazilin with estrogen alpha was -6.68 kcal/mol, and the ΔG value for brazilin against NUDT5 was -4.8 kcal/mol. Brazilin has a higher potency compared to innate ligands based on the docking result of estrogen alpha receptor and NUDT5. Some structural similarities and interactions occurred between the amino acids GLY186 and TYR155 in brazilin with the binding of amino acids formed in the innate ligand against the 17-β-HSD-1 receptor, thus showing similar affinity to the 17-β-HSD1 receptor. In silico approaches provided valuable insights into the potential of brazilin as an anti-breast cancer agent.
