Abstract

Trichodermin has antifungal activity against Ganoderma boninense, but it is volatile and insoluble in water. Research on trichodermin as antifungal G.boninense has been done, but not yet at the stage of altering the nature of the compound. This study aims to develop trichodermin as antifungal G. boninense in the form of nanoenkapsulat with observed aspects including formulation, encapsulation, characterization, and antifungal activity. Trichodermin is extracted from Trichoderma harzianum by maceration. Nanoemulsion is made using Emulsion Inversion Point (EIP) method and encapsulation is done by spray drying. Antifungal activity was tested using a modified dual culture assay method. The results showed the rendement of trichodermin extraction of 0.70%. The best nanoemulsion formula is nanoemulsion with Tween 80 concentrations of 75% of the total organic phase. The formula nanoemulsi has a size of 231.95 nm, polydispersity index of 0.348, and zeta potential of -35.6 mV. Encapsulation has a yield of 5.79%. The encapsulated powder has a moisture content of 5.79%, contains a typical functional group of trichodermin compounds, and is round with an uneven surface. The antioxidant activity of nano-trichodermin encapsulation is higher than trichoderminextract and positive control (hexaconazole) with PIRG value of 84.40%.

Abstract

Melinjo (gnetum gnemon) peel extract is believed to have potential as antihyperuricemic agent, however, in vivo assays have yet to be conducted to prove the antihyperuricemic activity. The objectives of this research were to analyze antihyperuricemic activity of melinjo peel extract in Sprague Dawley male white rat. A total of 24 rats were divided into 6 groups, which are a normal, positive, and negative group, 70% ethanolic extract of melinjo peel dose 450 mg/kg BW (ET I) and dose 900 mg/kg BW (ET II), and water extract of melinjo peel dose 93.35 mg/kg BW (EA). The results show that antihyperuricemic potency of 70% ethanolic extract of melinjo peel (ET1 and ET2) was more effective than allopurinol dose 90 mg/kg BW with a percentage decrease of 50% and 54%. Ethanol extract of melinjo peel was able to reduce uric acid levels to be in the range of normal values (<5 mg / dL). Bodyweight gain of rats given ethanol extract of melinjo peel dose 450 mg/kg BW had values that were close to the normal group. Melinjo peel extract contained flavonoid, tannins, saponin, and triterpenoid.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. This disease occurs when the joint feels painful due to mild inflammation that arises due to activity with the bone of end friction joints. Glucosamine has been proven to stimulate the production of cartilage and inhibit the enzyme that destroys cartilage. Glucosamine which was obtained from the hydrolysis of chitin occurs in a variety of animals such as the shell of crustacea, insects, arthropods, and the shell of molluscs (snail shells). There is a large snail population in Indonesia. Some restaurants and people make use by product snails as food sources. However, this process leaves snail shell as a by product. The high yield of glucosamine produced from snail shells use methods such as reflux+water bath and reflux+magnetic stirrer was 1.47%. Glucosamine hydrochloride was obtained through autoclave at 121 °C and pressure 1 atm for 70 minutes. The presence of chitin, chitosan, glucosamine was confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy. A joint pain ointment was prepared using glucosamine hydrochloride from snail shells concentration at 1 % w/w. Results of this research will be very useful for the reduction of agricultural pests while simultaneously generating a new product that can lift the economic value of snail shells. Keywords: Chitin, Chitosan, Glucosamine, Osteoarthritis, Snail Shells

Abstract

Kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu tumbuhan penghasil minyak terbesar di Indonesia. Proses pengolahan buah kelapa sawit menjadi minyak memiliki dampak negatif, yakni terciptanya gas metana. Gas metana merupakan salah satu gas penyumbang efek rumah kaca yang menyebabkan pemanasan global. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan cara untuk menurunkan emisi gas metana. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah penggunaan bakteri untuk menurunkan emisi gas metana pada limbah cair pemrosesan buah kelapa sawit. Bakteri diisolasi dari limbah cair kelapa sawit. Terhadap isolat tunggal yang diperoleh dilakukan uji aktivitas enzim soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) dan particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO). Isolat dengan aktivitas methane monooxygenase tertinggi dipilih untuk analisis sekuen DNA dan konstruksi pohon filogenetika. Tahap isolasi bakteri menghasilkan 13 isolat koloni tunggal. Uji aktivitas methane monooxygenase menunjukkan bahwa semua isolat tidak memiliki aktivitas sMMO. Sebaliknya, semua isolat memiliki aktivitas pMMO dengan tingkat berbeda yaitu dengan rentang nilai antara 0.10 – 0.22 M/mL kultur/hari. Analisis sekuen DNA menunjukkan bahwa isolat terpilih adalah Klebsiella sp. Berdasarkan uji Gram diketahui bahwa bakteri ini termasuk bakteri Gram negatif. Bakteri berpotensi digunakan untuk menurunkan emisi gas metan pada limbah cair pemrosesan buah kelapa sawit. Kata kunci: Klebsiella sp, 16S rRNA, Metana, pMMO, sMMO.

Abstract

Dates seeds are one of the byproducts of the date palm juice industry which has the potential for further processing. Dates seeds contain active compounds that are known to have ability to inhibit αglucosidase. This study aims to measure the activity of 70% ethanol extract and the fraction of date palm seeds with a mechanism in inhibiting αglucosidase. The measurement of inhibitory activity was carried out by extracting date palm seeds using 70% water and ethanol. The extraction product is then fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. Then the total phenolic and flavonoid calculations were calculated for each extract and fraction. Measurement of α-glucosidase inhibition activity was measured based on reaction of substrate to enzyme by the addition of inhibitors. The results showed that the ethanolextract had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid, which were 76.86 mg GAE / g and 21.19 mg QE / g, respectively. n-hexane fraction have the best inhibitory activity seen from the IC50 value, which is 12.69 mg/L. The kinetics of inhibition of 70% ethanol extract of date palm seeds are mixed inhibition. Keywords: α-glucosidase, date seeds, flavonoids, kinetic inhibition, phenolics
