The Journal of Experimental Life Science (JELS) is a scientific journal published by Postgraduate School, University of Brawijaya as distribution media of Indonesian researcher’s results in life science to the wider community. JELS is published in every four months. JELS published scientific papers in review, short report, and articles in Life Sciences especially biology, biotechnology, nanobiology, molecular biology, botany, microbiology, genetics, neuroscience, pharmacology, toxicology, and Applied Life Science including fermentation technology, food science, immunotherapy, proteomics and other fields related to life matter. JELS is a scientific journal that published compatible qualified articles to the academic standard, scientific and all articles reviewed by the expert in their field. The Journal of Experimental Life Science (JELS) have a vision to become qualified reference media to publish the best and original research results and become the foundation of science development through invention and innovation on cellular, molecular, nanobiology, and simulation work related to life matter rapidly to the community. The Journal of Experimental Life Science (JELS) has objectives to published qualified articles on research’s results of Indonesian researchers in life science scope. JELS encompasses articles which discuss basic principles on natural phenomenon with cellular, molecular, and nanobiology approach.

Abstract

The increase of crab meat export activities in Indonesia leads to the accumulation of crab shell waste in a massive amount that can naturally degrade and causing bad odor. Naturally, microorganisms will degrade this waste through fermentation and enzymatic reaction, including protease and chitinase due to its high content of chitin and protein. Bacillus is the most potential bacteria to degrade crab shell waste, and indigenous Bacillus from this waste can increase the degradation rates. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteolytic and chitinolytic activities of indigenous Bacillus species from crab shell waste. Bacillus cereus BP14 and Bacillus licheniformis CK20 as the chitinolytic bacteria, and Bacillus subtilis AP9 and Bacillus licheniformis AP5 as the proteolytic bacteria were isolated from crab shell waste and identified based on the 16S rDNA sequences. The bacterial isolates were grown in skim milk broth for proteolytic characterization and colloidal chitin broth for chitinolytic characterization. The growth rates of each bacteria were determined through the growth curves. The enzymatic activities were determined based on the international standard for protease and chitinase enzyme activities together with growth curve sampling to determine the best incubation time for obtaining the highest enzymatic activities. From the shortest to the longest generation times of the Bacillus species obtained were B. subtilis AP9, B. licheniformis CK20, B. cereus BP14, and B. licheniformis AP5, respectively. The best incubation time for producing the highest enzymatic activity varied among species. However, the end of the logarithmic phase was similar. All of the Bacillus species obtained from this study exhibited chitinolytic and proteolytic activity. Therefore, it can be used as promising candidates of biodegradation agents inenhancing the degradation rates of crab shell wastes.

Abstract

Green tea is a popular functional beverage mostly due to its high antioxidant activity. However, based on preliminary study, the taste such as its bitterness and flavour were somehow disliked by Indonesian consumers, and therefore formulation with other materials such as the addition of cinnamon and lemon peel may bring an advantage.This research was aimed to study the effect of formulation of bagged Indonesian green tea with cinnamon and lemon peel to the physicochemical characteristics of the tea and its consumer acceptance. Evaluation on the effect of different steeping time while brewing those tea formulas was also reported. The formula being investigated was F1, F2, and F3 with green tea: cinnamon: lemon peel at the ratio of 70:15:15, 70:12:18, and 70:9:21, respectively.Tea brewing was performed at 100°C, followed by a steeping time (L) at 1, 3, and 5 minutes. The results indicated that the addition of more cinnamon and longer steeping time had increased total phenol and antioxidant activity of the brewed tea. Based on the consumer acceptance test, the formula ofgreen tea: cinnamon:lemon peel at 70:15:15 along with 3 minutes steeping time, was generally scored highest for degree of liking but the ratio of 70:12:18 was the most accepted or preferred for aroma.The best treatment was achieved on the ratio of green tea:cinnamon:lemon peel = 70:12:18, under 5 minutes steeping time. The best treatment provided a pH of 5.13, lightness (L*) at 44.93, redness(a*) at -2.50, yellowness (b*) at 16.93, total phenol of 59.82 mgGAE.g-1, and IC50 of 59.39 ppm.
