Abstract

Soursop leaf (Annona muricata L.) is an herbal plant that is widely used by the public empirically because it has many properties. The sling leaf contains tannin compounds, alkaloids, as well as several other chemical compounds including annonaceous acetogenin, which can be used as a treatment. This study aims to find out if soursop leaf extract has the effect of deducting blood glucose levels in mice test animals (Mus musculus) which induced a 50% glucose solution. The study used the RAL method (complete random design) and 20 male mice were divided into 5 groups with 4 repetitions. Group P1, P2, and P3 (treatment group) administered ethanol extract of sine leaves at doses of 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg bb respectively, while k- and k+ (control group) administered CMC 0.5% and glibenclamide with oral administration. The data obtained were statistically analyzed with ANOVA (Variance analysis) one-way to find out the differences between treatment groups and continued with the BNT test (The smallest real difference) to find out meaningful differences between groups. The results showed that there were differences between the treatment group and the control group. On the 7th day of the BNT test, the treatment group with a dose of 750 mg/kg bb showed significant differences between the negative Control group (CMC 0'5%), Positive control (Glibenclamide), P1 (250 mg/kg bb), and P2 (500 mg/kg bb), while on the 14th day showed no significant difference with the treatment group of 500 mg/kg bb. concluded from this study that all concentrations of ethanol extract of sling leaves could lower blood glucose levels in test animals, with the most optimal decrease being the group at a dose of 750 mg/kg bb.

Abstract

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andrews.) is one of the plantation crops that has a high selling price, namely wet vanilla IDR 200,000-300,000/kg, regular quality dry vanilla around 1-3 million/kg, and export quality reaching 5-7 million/kg. The opportunity for farmers to develop vanilla commodities in Indonesia is very large, but limited planting materials still hamper it. In-vitro propagation is one technique that can be used to overcome the problem of vanilla propagation in Indonesia. This research aimed to determine the interaction of BAP and coconut water on the growth of vanilla nodal explants in vitro. The method used in this research was a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a combination of Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) and coconut water. The BAP concentration consists of 0 mg/L, 1 mg/L, and 2 mg/L. Coconut water has 0%, 15%, and 30% levels. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and further tested with the DMRT test at a confidence level of 95%. The results showed an interaction between BAP and coconut water on the growth of vanilla explants. The combination treatment of 1 mg/L BAP + 15% coconut water showed the best results with the fastest response time of 8.76+1.53 DAP, average shoot length 2.84±0.70 cm/explant and average root length 0.75±0.07 cm/explant.

Abstract

Moringa leaves can be used as an herbal plant in fish growth to prevent and treat bacterial infections. This study aims to determine the effect of fermented moringa leaves through feed on blood glucose in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). This research was conducted from September to November 2023 at the Marine Biotechnology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Riau University. The method used is an experimental method using a completely randomized design with 4 (four) treatments and 3 (three) replicates; the treatment dose of fermented moringa leaves is T0 (control), T1 (10 g/kg feed), T2 (15 g/kg feed), and P3 (20 g/kg feed). The catfish measured 5.00 ± 1.00 cm and weighed 4.00 ± 0.50 g, reared in an 80 L tank at a stocking density of 1 fish / 4 L water. The maintenance was carried out for 60 days, and blood glucose observations were made at the beginning (H-1), day 30 (H-30), day 60 (H-60), and post-challenge test (H-75). The results showed that adding fermented moringa leaves to the diet did not affect the blood glucose of the catfish (p>0.05). This indicates that moringa leaves can keep the fish in normal condition after being challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria.

Abstract

The case of malnutrition in Indonesia is still one of the problems that the government must resolve. This is because, in recent years, cases of malnutrition among the Indonesian population, especially babies and children, have still occurred in several areas. The problem, especially stunting, in Indonesia is a national concern. The stunting reduction target for 2024 is 14%, while 2022 is still 24%. The Indonesian government has made various efforts to deal with stunting but has been unable to reduce it significantly. One of the efforts to prevent stunting is providing complementary foods for toddlers. Therefore, it is necessary to process food that has high nutritional content. One of the essential nutrients needed by the human body is protein. The urgency of this research is food processing in the form of cookies to prevent stunting, especially in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan Province. Processed cookies are very important for toddlers to consume to fulfill optimal nutritional requirements. This research aims to make or process cookies made from milkfish (Chanos chanos) with the addition of Moringa oleifera leaves to overcome the problem of malnutrition, especially stunting, especially in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan. This research aligns with the Regional Government's work program, the Regional School Children's Nutrition Program Plus (ProGasDa Plus). ProGasDa Plus is an effort to increase the nutritional intake given to students by providing nutritionally balanced additional food, accompanied by education on balanced nutrition, preventing worms, and providing supplements. Complementary foods will be analyzed proximately to see the nutritional content contained in the cookies.

Abstract

This research was conducted in December 2023 to determine the type and content of microplastics in blood cockles (Anadara granosa) by taking samples from the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach, Meranti Islands. The sampling location was based on the purposive sampling method divided into residential areas, fishing ports, and mangrove areas. Blood cockle samples from the three locations were selected for only large sizes (2.5-3.7cm). The water quality parameters at the sampling location were measured for temperature, salinity, and pH, indicating that the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Beach are still natural habitats for blood cockles. Three types of microplastics were found in blood cockles, namely fiber, film, and fragments, with an average abundance of 56.33 particles/ind (p>0.05). Further research is needed regarding size differences and relationships with environmental parameters.
