Abstract

Andaliman fruit is one kind of spice that has antioxidant benefits. Secondary antioxidants are needed by the human body to combat internal and external free radicals. Effort can be made to eliminate these free radicals by eating foods that have active compounds with adequate antioxidant activity. The study aims to identify the group of secondary metabolite compounds and the antioxidant activity of fruit flesh and seeds. The extraction method used is maceration using a 70% ethanol-acidified solvent. The phytochemical screening method is a color reaction. The method of antioxidant activity is DPPH. Result of the phytochemical screening of simplisia and extract of fruit (seeds and flesh) show the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins. The results of the phytochemical screening of seed simplisia revealed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, and tannins. The antioxidant activity of seed and flesh extracts falls into the strong category with IC50 values of (56,80 and 52,32) ppm. It has been suggested that the maceration method using the acidified solvent affects the antioxidant activity of seeds and flesh of the andaliman fruit.

Abstract

Industrial wastewater generated by nickel mining has a high content of heavy metals, one of which is Chromium Hexavalent or Cr(VI) metal. Commonly used methods in reducing Cr(VI) metal concentration are coagulation and adsorption. This method is the most economical, simple and highly efficient method. This research uses the coagulation - adsorption integration system method, which is a combination of coagulation and adsorption methods in stages and uses the same wastewater. The purpose of this research is to see the performance of alum, FeSO4 and a combination of alum: FeSO4 as coagulant and fly ash as adsorbent in the removal of Cr(VI) levels in wastewater samples. Also, the efficiency of using the coagulation - adsorption integration system in the removal of heavy metal levels. The adsorption capacity value of this process can also be calculated. The resulting data were then evaluated using a spectrophotometer visible to assess the reduction of Cr(VI) concentration in wastewater. Based on the experiment, alum type coagulant with a waste and coagulant composition ratio of 2:3 and a stirring time of 60 minutes can reduce Cr(VI) levels to 14.18 mg/L from 100 mg/L. The addition of the adsorption process using fly ash helped reduce the concentration of heavy metal Cr(VI) to 12.15 mg/L and the highest efficiency value was 87.9%, and the adsorption capacity value was 0.087 mg/gram.

Abstract

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) boasts a rich historical legacy as an herbal plant employed across generations for diverse therapeutic purposes, including pain relief, inflammation mitigation, anti-diarrheal effects, cough suppression, alleviation of fatigue, and anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties. Despite its acclaimed medicinal versatility, this plant harbors psychoactive attributes, thereby posing the risk of misuse and potential dependence, along with withdrawal effects. The alkaloid composition of kratom, featuring opioid receptor agonist properties, underscores its analgesic efficacy, thereby carrying a risk of dependence and withdrawal akin to other opioid agonists. Beyond its role as an opioid agonist, the analgesic mechanism of kratom extends to additional complementary pathways, presenting a potential superiority to morphine. Notably, kratom constituents inhibit key drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP) and the multidrug transporter, p-glycoprotein, potentially leading to heightened levels of co-administered drugs that are substrates for these proteins, presenting a potential risk of adverse outcomes, including fatality. Given the perceived imbalance of risks versus benefits, there arises a rationale for the prohibition of kratom use as an herbal remedy. However, the exploration of purified drugs derived from kratom isolates remains a promising avenue for research, with the potential to surpass standard pharmaceutical interventions.

Abstract

Purple sweet potato is one of the potential sources of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins can be utilized in various fields, such as sensors. Chitosan biopolymer allows formulation with anthocyanins because it possesses biodegradable and antimicrobial properties, and it does not inhibit color changes from anthocyanins. This study aims to prepare anthocyanins from purple sweet potatoes, formulate chitosan-anthocyanin biopolymer (CAB), and test the effect of time and formalin concentration on color changes in CAB. The research results show: 1) anthocyanin extract (TAC) from purple sweet potatoes is 852 mg/L with anthocyanin monomer (cyanidin) of 443.03 mg/500 g or 88.61 mg/100g. Anthocyanin extract at pH 1-12 has colors ranging from red to brownish-yellow; 2) CAB was successfully formulated with anthocyanin extract from purple sweet potatoes, chitosan, and glycerin. BKA-A was obtained with a content of 10 mL anthocyanin extract and CAB-B with 15 mL anthocyanin extract; 3) the produced biopolymers have average swelling values of 444% (CAB-A) and 339.5% (CAB-B). The storage time of CAB-B is longer than CAB-A. FTIR analysis showed a broad peak at ~3336 cm-1 indicating hydroxyl groups from anthocyanin extract; and 4) ANOVA test results showed that interaction time and formalin concentration affect color changes in CAB-A partially, while color changes in CAB-B are only influenced by interaction time with formalin.

Abstract

Based on data from the Indonesian Plastic Industry Association (INAPLAS) and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia is the largest contributor of plastic waste in the world. Efforts to overcome plastic waste can be done by making bioplastics. Bioplastics are plastics made from biopolymers which can be degraded and can be renewed. In this research, bioplastics were made using a method of mixing the ingredients and then poured into a baking dish. The materials used are sodium alginate and chitosan as the main components of bioplastics and the addition of plasticizers in the form of glycerol and glutaraldehyde as crosslinking. The variations of sodium alginate and chitosan polymers used are A(1:2); B(1:1); C(2:1) (w/w). The bioplastic characteristics tested include thickness, mechanical properties test, water absorption test, functional group test using FTIR, morphology test using SEM, and degradation test. The consecutive thickness test results are: bioplastic A of 0.140 mm, bioplastic B of 0.098 mm, and bioplastic C of 0.146 mm. The mechanical properties test results show the best tensile strength, elasticity and elongation at break values ​​of 1.72 MPa, 2.73 MPa and 63.66% for bioplastic C. Bioplastic A has the highest water resistance value with the lowest water absorption capacity of 37. 6%. The results of FTIR analysis of bioplastics show the presence of O-H, N-H, and C-O-O groups. Morphological test results on the composite surface show that the cross-link network forms an acetal bridge structure. Bioplastic B experienced the highest degradation with a weight reduction of 91.34%. The concentration of sodium alginate and chitosan affects the physical properties (thickness, water resistance and degradation) as well as the mechanical properties (tensile strength and elongation at break). Sodium alginate and chitosan bioplastics have a higher weight reduction percentage than commercial bioplastics with a weight reduction percentage of 14.58%.
