Abstract

Temulawak (C.zanthoriza) and white turmeric  (C.zedoaria) are Indonesian herbal plants  widely used to treat various diseases including anti-inflammatory properties, neuroprotective, nephroprotective, antitumor, and hepatoprotective. A long-standing tradition, Kombucha is a drink produced by fermenting tea using combine of lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria and mold.  It's classified as a functional food due to its high antioxidant and antibacterial activity, suggesting potential benefits for disease prevention.This research aims to improve the functional value of kombucha by using temulawak and white turmeric. Kombucha is made from temulawak and white turmeric powder with various concentrations ranges 0.2 – 1% (w/v)) and a sugar concentration of 10% (v/v)). After 8 days of fermentation, temulawak and white turmeric kombucha were tested for pH, total acid, amount of phenol, and IC50. The effect of various concentrations temulawak and white turmeric as a substrate for kombucha demonstrated significant (p0.05) in reduction of pH, increased total phenol content, IC50 value of antioxidant activity, also increased total acid. The best treatment of temulawak and white turmeric kombucha was obtained at a concentration of 1% with a pH of 2.77 for temulawak kombucha and 2.80 for white turmeric kombucha; total acid of 4.38% for temulawak kombucha and 3.60% for white turmeric kombucha; total phenols were 232.48 mgGAE/ml for temulawak kombucha and 113.00 mgGAE/ml for white turmeric kombucha; The IC50 value was 30.82 ppm for temulawak kombucha and 40.15 ppm for white turmeric kombucha.

Abstract

Dillenia suffruticosa or Simpur is known for their multiple uses in various medical and food packaging purposes. Considering their applications and valuable potential, implementing conservation strategies is required to ensure their survival and preserve their genetic diversity. In this study, we complemented the traditional methods with DNA barcoding for identifying plant species. The current study was designed to accurately identify D. suffruticosa collected from Bangka Islands in Indonesia, through the molecular analysis using rbcL gene as marker genetic. The DNA barcode was examined using several approaches including plant sample collection, DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and DNA sequencing. The obtained DNA sequences were analyzed using various bioinformatics tools to assess genetic relationships and confirm species identification. Based on our analysis, the specimen was successfully identified by DNA barcoding. An approximately 606 base-pair sequence of the rbcL gene from was amplified from D. suffruticosa, which showed 99% similarity to a species from Hawaii. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the rbcL barcode loci used was effective in assigning samples accurately at the genus level, but rather challenging in resolving taxa at the species level. Our findings highlight the potential of DNA barcoding as a powerful tool for identifying members of Dilleniaceae, offering advantages over conventional identification methods. This study also was the first to identify the D. suffruticosa in Bangka Islands with the help of DNA barcoding method. However, future research should include additional genetic markers to establish a more robust and accurate method for species identification.

Abstract

Bay leaves are a common culinary spice used in Indonesian cuisine and are known to contain various chemical compounds including essential oils, flavonoids, tannins, antimicrobial compounds, and vitamin C. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of bay leaf extract in enhancing the stamina of male mice. The research was conducted using a quantitative experimental method with a completely randomised design (CRD). A total of 20 male mice were used as samples and divided into five treatment groups, which included a control group (P0), a dosage of 3 mg/g body weight (P1), a dosage of 6 mg/g body weight (P2), a dosage of 12 mg/g body weight (P3), and a dosage of 18 mg/g body weight (P4), with each treatment repeated three times. The swimming test was employed to measure the duration of swimming in mice as an indicator of stamina. Data were analysed using ANOVA. The results indicated that the administration of bay leaf extract at various doses over a period of 7 days did not produce a significant (P=0,715) effect on the stamina enhancement of male mice. Therefore, bay leaf extract was not effective in improving the stamina of male mice at the tested dosages.

Abstract

Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) contains various active secondary metabolites such as phenolics, flavonoids, quercetin, saponins, and anthocyanins, which function as natural antioxidants to protect the body from free radicals. Callus culture with the addition of elicitors is an effective method to produce shallot callus with enhanced secondary metabolite content compared to the original plant through manipulation of biosynthetic pathways. This study aimed to determine the most optimal combination of chitosan concentration and elicitation duration to enhance the growth and antioxidant activity of shallot bulb callus in vitro. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used with 12 treatment combinations (chitosan at 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/L for 2, 4, and 6 days) and 1 control treatment. The results showed that the elicitation combination had no significant effect on fresh weight but significantly affected dry weight and antioxidant activity of the callus. The control treatment was the most optimal for callus growth, yielding the highest average biomass (0.07 grams). Meanwhile, the 2 days + 200 mg/L combination treatment was the most optimal for increasing the antioxidant activity of the callus, producing the highest inhibition value (35.65%). Callus morphology in all treatments exhibited compact texture and varied shades of yellow. This study demonstrates that chitosan elicitor is effective in enhancing the antioxidant activity of A. ascalonicum callus and is therefore recommended for further phytochemical and biotechnological development.

Abstract

Foeniculum vulgare and Alyxia reinwardtii are two herbal plants frequently co-utilized by Javanese people in Indonesia to treat various diseases, as evidenced by ancient manuscripts about traditional medicine (Jamu). However, the potential of the combination of kaempferol and coumarin, the major bioactive compounds derived from each plant, to inhibit BCL-2 and BCL-XL anti-apoptotic proteins in cancer has not yet been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the inhibitory activity of kaempferol, coumarin, and their combinations on BCL-2 and BCL-XL through in silico studies. The physicochemical properties of both compounds were predicted using the SwissADME web server. Meanwhile, the docking activity prediction of these compounds on BCL-2 and BCL-XL was performed using the molecular docking method with HEX 8.0.0 CUDA. Docking visualization was performed using BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2020 Client. The results of this study indicated that kaempferol could bind the binding groove of both BCL-2 (-246.40 kcal/mol) and BCL-XL (-245.76 kcal/mol), whereas coumarin only interacted with the binding groove of BCL-XL (-160.61 kcal/mol). The combination of the two compounds exhibited a stronger interaction with BCL-2 (-248.50 kcal/mol) and BCL-XL (-260.43 kcal/mol) compared to each compound individually. Therefore, the combination of these compounds is predicted to exhibit greater anticancer potential than either kaempferol or coumarin alone. Nevertheless, further extensive studies are required to validate the findings of this study.

Abstract

Coral reef ecosystems that have been damaged require restoration actions. The study's goal was to identify transplanted coral species on Bangsring Beach, as well as to assess the importance of community structure and community role. Location is determined through selective sampling and direct data capture. Descriptive data analysis, including the diversity index, uniformity, and dominance. The community's part was determined through interviews and questionnaires distributed to the residents of Bangsring. Corals transplanted at Bangsring Banyuwangi Beach include 12 genera and 30 species of coral. The Acropora genus includes Favia, Merulina, Pavona, Pocillopora, Porites, Stylophora, Turbinaria, Nepthea, Tubipora, and Hetroxenia. Block 4 has the greatest diversity index (2.75), followed by blocks 3, 2, 5, and 1. Coral species diversity was relatively high throughout all blocks, with no dominant species. The role of local communities cannot be ruled out in the sustainability of coral reef conservation activities. The community's and managers' active participation in coral transplantation at Bangsring Beach is critical to its success. The transplanted corals at the Bangsring Beach Area are monitored on a regular basis to observe changes in the coral community structure.

Abstract

Disposable baby diapers are a type of product that is now widely used by the public, but produces large amounts of waste which poses environmental challenges. The way to process this waste is by recycling into additional solid organic fertilizer materials. This study aims to determine the increase in nutrients due to the addition of diaper waste hydrogel to compost products with different raw materials. The parameters observed to measure the quality of the compost are water content, pH, C/N ratio, C-Organic, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, and Mn. The study was conducted with different raw materials (sawdust, cow manure and their combination), with and without the addition of diaper waste hydrogel. The results showed that treatments with added diaper waste hydrogel (P1H, P2H, and P3H) had higher macronutrient and micronutrient levels than treatments without (P1, P2, and P3). Especially, P2H treatment had better suitability and nutrient increase compared to other treatments based on SNI 19-7030-2004.
