Abstract

Anthocyanins are natural dyes of purple and red. Anthocyanin dyes are applied in various industries as a drink or food coloring. As natural dyes, anthocyanins have an important role in human health. This research aimed to analyze the stability of anthocyanins from black soybean skin extract at varying pH and temperature. Anthocyanins from black soybean skins are macerated using two kinds of solvents. The solvents are distilled water + 30% citric acid and 70% ethanol + 1% HCl. Maceration was carried out at a temperature of 4℃. Then the anthocyanin was treated at a temperature range of 40-90℃ and pH of 5-9 and its absorbance was measured using UV-Vis’s spectrometry. The concentration of anthocyanin from black soybean skins is from the solvent distilled water + 30% citric acid of 1.992 mg/L, while from the solvent 70% ethanol + 1% HCl it was 1.936 mg/L. The color stability temperature t of black soybean skin extract was carried out at temperatures of 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. with respective absorbance of 0.274; 0.247; 0.237; 0.227; and 0.214. The higher the temperature, the anthocyanin content decreases. pH test was carried out at pH 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 with respective absorbance values of 1.831; 1,759; 1,229; 1,118; and 1,066. The pH test showed that the higher the pH, the anthocyanin content was reduced, while the application of additional anthocyanin to white agar as food coloring showed that the anthocyanin content was only 0.125. It can be concluded that anthocyanins have good stability at low temperatures and acidic pH.

Abstract

Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage facial skin. Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) are active ingredients that can be formulated into peel-off masks needed to protect facial skin from UV exposure. This research aims to formulate a peel-off mask as facial skin protection made from the active ingredient CQDs from rice washing water, test the characteristics, and determine user responses to the product. The mask formulation is divided into five versions, namely F0 (without CQDs), F1, F2, and F3 (with CQDs added at concentrations of 2%, 4%, and 6%, respectively), and F+ (with added vitamin C). The resulting formulations were tested through physical tests, fluorescence using a UV lamp, and UV blocking tests. The test results for the five mask formulas showed a pH range of 4.5-5.6, stability over three weeks of storage, drying time within 27-30 minutes, homogeneity, viscosity ranging from 12,810-18,430 cPs, and spreadability ranging from 5.4-6.6 cm. The results of the organoleptic test using the one-way ANOVA test show that variations in mask formulas do not have a significantly effect on preferences for color, smell, texture, and general preferences. The results of the fluorescence test showed that there was luminescence in formulas F1, F2, and F3. UV blocking properties in the wavelength range 290-320 nm are shown in the formulas F1, F2, F3, and F+. Based on these tests, it can be concluded that the peel-off mask formulation with CQDs from rice wash water successfully produced a good peel-off mask product with a high SPF value, especially in formula F3.

Abstract

The use of dyes in the textile industry has increased significantly, raising concerns about their potential to pollute the environment and harm human health. Methylene blue is a widely used synthetic dye, necessitating effective methods for its degradation. Photodegradation is a promising approach to decompose dyes into simpler, less harmful compounds. In this study, hydroxyapatite combined with ZnO was employed as a photocatalyst material to enhance photocatalytic performance. The research aims to degrade methylene blue using a Hydroxyapatite/ZnO (HAp/ZnO) nanocomposite through photodegradation. The optimization of the photodegradation process was investigated by varying irradiation time, methylene blue concentration, and pH. The optimum degradation of methylene blue was achieved using 20 mg of HAp/ZnO nanocomposite at an irradiation time of 120 minutes, an initial methylene blue concentration of 5 ppm, and pH 7. Adsorption isotherm modeling revealed that the process followed the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 0.3353 mg/g. The degradation followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with a reaction rate constant of 4.0026×105 L/mol·s.
