Abstract

One of the most promising agricultural commodities is the cultivation of mangoes. One way that can be used tomaintain the quality and freshness of the fruit in a simple way is to do an emulsion coating. The purpose of thisresearch was to determine the effect of citronella oil and sesame oil emulsion coating on the quality and storabilityof mango (Mangifera indica L.). The method used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD)with two factorial treatments and controls. The first factor was citronella oil under a concentration of 0.5% and1%. The second factor is sesame oil under a concentration of 0.5% and 1%. The two oils were combined in theemulsion into three treatment combinations, namely S0W2, S2W0, and S1W1. The parameters measured in theobservations were hardness, damage, and glucose levels in the fruit. The results showed that the level of hardnessof mangoes decreased in the four treatments. Then it was found that there was an effect of delaying the maturityof the fruit with the S1W1 treatment because it was not damaged like the other treatments. While glucose levelsin the fruit have increased due to the ripening process. Coating treatment with a ratio of citronella oil concentrationof 0.5% to 0.5% sesame oil is the most effective treatment combination in maintaining quality and shelf lifebecause this treatment can delay damage to mangoes.

Abstract

Plumbum or lead is a type of heavy metal that is dangerous if it has exceeded the threshold of 0.07 μg/g based onthe National Standardization Agency SNI 2004. This type of heavy metal is found in nature such as in soil, water,and air. The purpose of the study was to determine the phytoremediation ability of two types of ornamental plants,namely Celosia argentea L. and Mirabilis jalappa L., against Plumbum (Pb) metal in soil. The growth parametersobserved consisted of plant height, plant stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, and leaf width. The ICPMS(Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) was used to analyze the plumbum (Pb) content in soil andplants. The results ofinitial soil analysis prior to the plant planting process (phytoremediation) were 103.17 μg/gwhich had exceeded the predetermined threshold. The result of the analysis after phytoremediation of Celosiaargentea L. showed plumbum (Pb) content of 49.685 μg/g in soil and 1,9548 μg/g in plants. Similarly, the analysisof Ph content after phytoremediation of Mirabilis jalappa L. was 47.802 μg/g in soil and 5.3077 μg/g in plants.Based on biomass calculation of Celosia argentea L. and Mirabilis jalappa L., the obtained Plumbum (Pb) contentwas 18.84% and 27.85%, respectively. The percentage of Pb removal of Celosia argentea L. was 51.842%, whileMirabilis jalappa L. was 53.667%. The efficiency of Pb absorption of Celosia argentea L. and Mirabilis jalappaL. was 1.895% and 5.145%, respectively. In conclusion, Ornamental plants Celosia argentea L., and Mirabilisjalappa L., are able to act as phytoremediation agents for Plumbum (Pb) metal that pollutes the soil as evidencedby the decrease in Pb levels in the soil after the phytoremediation process.

Abstract

The canal, which is located in the center of Sanggau City, West Kalimantan, is a channel for water to flow directlyinto the Kapuas River. The dense activity of the surrounding community has caused indications of contaminationof this canal by organic and inorganic materials. Pollutants enter continuously and accumulate, thereby changingthe structure of the substrate which becomes a habitat for benthic fauna such as aquatic Oligochaeta. This studyaims to identify and describe the types of aquatic Oligochaeta found in the canals of Sanggau City. This researchwas conducted in August-September 2020 using a purposive sampling technique. Sampling locations were carriedout at five stations consisting of Tanjung Sekayam Village, Ilir Kota Village, Beringin Village and Bunut Village.The Sanggau City Canal has a depth ranging from 0. 24 m – 1 m with water brightness 0.14 m – 0.24 m. The canalwhich is a lotic water also has a current velocity range of 0.04 m/s – 0.40 m/s with a temperature of 27°C – 29°Cand pH 6.0 – 6.7. Dissolved oxygen in the canals of Sanggau City which plays an important role in the survival ofaquatic Oligochaeta is obtained 3.0 mg/l – 5.8 mg/l, and C-Organic 0.05% - 3.82%. The substrate in the canal ofSanggau City is composed of 23.31% - 95.31% sand, 4.69% - 57.49% silt and 0.00% - 19.20% clay.Each samplingstation consists of three repetition points. Based on the results of research conducted on five canals in SanggauCity, aquatic Oligochaeta were found consisting of 1 order, 1 family, 2 genera and 3 species with a total of 1367individual aquatic Oligochaeta. The identified aquatic Oligochaeta species consisted of B. sowerbyi, L.claparedeianus, and L. hoffmeisteri.
