Abstract

Liquid fuel from polystyrene waste and waste cooking oil biodiesel was successfully obtained through catalytic cracking using Al-MCM-41/Ceramic. The structure, morphology, acidity, and porosity of the catalyst were studied by SEM-EDX, pyridine FTIR, and N2 gas adsorption-desorption. The products of catalytic cracking were analyzed using gas chromatogram-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The highest yield was obtained at feedstock variations of 57% (P): 43% (M) with the number of hydrocarbon fractions ( C7) is 0.48%, hydrocarbon fraction (C8 - C12) is 20.99%, and hydrocarbon fraction ( C12) is 78.53% in the cracking time 1 hours. Physical characteristics were reported in the form of density, flash point, and caloric value respective. The performance of liquid fuels with commercial fuels, Premium (RON 88), and additives of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) comparisons of 225 (mL): 750 (mL): 18.25 (mL) respectively produce thermal efficiency on engine use gasoline generator sets was 28.22% at the load of 2118 Watts. Based on this research, all variations of feedstock produce liquid fuels that are in accordance with SNI 06-3506-1994 concerning the quality of gasoline fuel types. Keywords: Catalytic cracking, polystyrene waste, waste cooking oil, liquid fuel

Abstract

Research has been conducted on the determination of tuna oil and lard spectra using FTIR. This research aims to determine the IR spectra profile of lard and tuna oil and to compare both spectra profiles. Profile and comparison of lard and tuna oil IR spectra useful to determine whether an ingredient or a product contaminated with lard. The fatty acid profile of lard by FTIR analysis showed a significant difference in the absorption patterns of the spectra, especially at 3010-3000, 1680- 1600, and 968-966 cm-1 wavenumbers which represented the different composition and type of fatty acids in the lard and tuna oil. The absorption patterns at 3007 and 1653 cm-1 regions (double bond C=C cis) for tuna oil showed relatively high peaks if it is compared to lard samples because of the percentage of MUFA fatty acids (oleic acid) in tuna oil was much higher.  Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai penentuan spektra minyak ikan tuna dan lemak babi dengan menggunakan FTIR. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil spektra IR dari lemak babi dan minyak ikan tuna serta membandingkan kedua profil spektranya. Profil dan perbandingan spektra IR lemak babi dan minyak ikan tuna dapat digunakan sebagai dasar penentuan apakah suatu bahan atau produk terkontaminasi lemak babi. Profil asam lemak babi hasil analisis FTIR menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang cukup signifikan pada pola-pola penyerapan spektra, khususnya pada bilangan gelombang 3010-3000, 1680-1600 dan 968-966 cm-1 yang merepresentasikan perbedaan komposisi dan jenis asam lemak pada sampel lemak babi dan minyak ikan tuna. Pola serapan pada bilangan gelombang 3007 dan 1653 cm-1 (ikatan rangkap C=C cis) untuk sampel minyak ikan tuna menunjukkan puncak yang relatif tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan sampel lemak babi karena persentase asam lemak MUFA (asam oleat) pada minyak ikan tuna jauh lebih tinggi.

Abstract

Treatment using herbs is currently growing rapidly. Compounds in herbal plants can cure various degenerative diseases. The study aims to analyze the potency of nimbin, deacetylnimbin, salanin, and deacetylsalanin compounds in the neem leaves extract to inhibit target proteins namely PPARg and ERa. PPARg is the main regulator of the function of adipose tissue microvascular endothelial cells (aMVECs) while ERa is a protein that mediates all estrogen effects and it is important in the growth of prostate and breast cancer. Inhibition of ERa can prevent the proliferation and growth of breast cancer cells by affecting the performance of estrogen which binds to hormonal receptors and causes inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation. The results of in silico analysis show that deacetylnimbin can inhibit ERa protein. The docking analysis shows that deacetylnimbin has the potential to replace tamoxifen as a breast cancer drug. The other studies such in vitro and in vivo are needed to validate in silico study.

Abstract

 Hydrilla verticillata is one of Allah SWT creations that potential as an antioxidant. This study’s objectives were to determine antioxidant activity and identify steroid isolates of n-hexane fraction of H. verticillata. The steroid compounds were extracted using methanol solvent. The methanol extract was hydrolyzed with HCl 2 N and partitioned using n-hexane. The n-hexane fraction was tested phytochemically and separated using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The steroids compounds were identified using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, and LC-MS/MS. The result showed that maceration extraction produced 5.14% yield, whereas n-hexane fraction produce 47.95% yield. Steroid separation through analytical TLC revealed that n-hexane: ethyl acetate (4:1) as the best eluant with 12 spots, while separation using preparative TLC yielded 19 spots. Steroid isolate from TLC preparative has antioxidant activity with EC50 of 5.109 ppm. Identification of steroid compounds using UV-Vis produced maximum wavelengths at 203.9 and 276 nm, while using FTIR indicated the presence of O-H group, geminal dimethyl, C=O, C=C, secondary C-OH, and =C-H (alkene) which might contain steroid compounds. The result of LC-MS/MS showed the presence of β-sitosterol. Hydrilla verticillata merupakan salah satu ciptaan Allah SWT yang memiliki potensi sebagai antioksidan.

Abstract

This study reports the synthesis of vanillyl methyl ketone from eugenol through Wacker oxidation and anti-inflammatory activity test toward COX-1 and COX-2 through in silico analysis. Wacker oxidation process was catalyzed by PdCl2 and CuCl2 using DMF solvent under the aerobic condition at room temperature for 48 hours. The product of the synthesis was purified by column chromatography and was characterized by NMR, IR, and MS spectroscopy. Characterization by spectroscopic methods showed that vanillyl methyl ketone was formed with a yield of 45% and vanillin (3%) was produced as a by-product. The anti-inflammatory activity of vanillyl methyl ketone was carried out by molecular docking toward   COX-1 and COX-2 obtained from PDB. The analysis showed that the anti-inflammatory activity and selectivity toward COX-2 of vanillyl methyl ketone was higher than eugenol. This was shown by the low binding energy affinity and the number of hydrogen bonds formed between the vanillyl methyl ketone and the active site of the enzyme. Keywords: eugenol, Wacker, vanillyl methyl ketone, antiinflammatory, in silico Pada penelitian ini dilakukan sintesis senyawa vanilil metil keton dari eugenol melalui oksidasi Wacker serta dilakukan uji aktivitas antiinflamasi terhadap enzim COX-1 dan COX-2 melalui analisis in silico.

Abstract

Dyes are widely used for various manufacturing processes. However, the high use of synthetic dyes has resulted in pollution and health problems. To overcome this problem, one way that can be done is to return to using natural dyes. Natural dyes can be obtained from various plants, one of which is the Indonesian mangrove plant (Rhizophora mucronata). This research has succeeded in extracting natural dyestuffs from mangrove bark using the microwave-assisted extraction method. Mangrove wood extraction was carried out with solvents, namely distilled water and ethanol 96%, which was optimized based on the ratio of sample mass to volume of solvent and extraction power. The results showed that qualitatively the mangrove extract contained tannins, flavonoids, and quinones as compounds that gave chocolate color. The color resistance of mangrove extracts is very strong in textiles under alkaline conditions. Based on the results of extraction optimization, the optimum conditions were obtained at a ratio of 0.067 g/mL of 96% ethanol at 380 watts of power, with a yield percentage reaching 53.053%. Keywords: extraction, mangrove wood, microwave Zat warna banyak digunakan untuk berbagai proses manufaktur. Namun, tingginya penggunaan zat pewarna sintetis mengakibatkan pencemaran dan masalah kesehatan. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah kembali menggunakan zat warna alami. Zat pewarna alami dapat diperoleh dari berbagai tumbuhan, salah satunya tanaman bakau Indonesia (Rhizophora mucronata). Penelitian ini telah berhasil melakukan ekstraksi zat warna alami kulit kayu bakau dengan metode microwave-assisted extraction. Ekstraksi kayu bakau dilakukan dengan pelarut yaitu akuades dan etanol 96% yang dioptimasi berdasarkan rasio massa sampel–volume pelarut dan daya ekstraksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara kualitatif ekstrak kayu bakau mengandung tanin, flavonoid, dan kuinon sebagai senyawa pemberi warna coklat. Ketahanan warna ekstrak kayu bakau sangat kuat pada bahan tekstil pada kondisi basa. Berdasarkan hasil optimasi ekstraksi, kondisi optimum didapatkan pada rasio massa sampel-volum pelarut sebesar 0,067 g/mL dan daya sebesar 380 Watt sehingga diperoleh persentase yield mencapai 53,053%. Kata kunci: ekstraksi, kayu bakau, microwave
