Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of the simple modified freezing method, 1°C/minute freezing rate with different diluter ration on a post-thawing quality of local goat sperm namely Peranakan Etawah (PE). This work is aimed to study the quality of post-thawing sperm and to characterize the calcium intensity profile of both fresh and post thawing goat sperm. The method used is the experimental design of a laboratory. Freezing semen was performed in 2 main temperatures of -45°C then -196°C respectively using Mr. Frosty (®) System. Early Sperm characters of Ca+2 intensity was performed by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) through Fluo-3 staining and Ca++ intensity was analysis descriptively. The result showed that post-thawing qualities are considered as good as standard qualities, at least, more than 40% based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI, 2014). The different level diluents commercial of Andromeda used were influenced highly significant (P<0.01). The best diluents ration is 1:4 (v/v) for final sperms stocked at -196°C. However freezing sperm conserved in -196°C is better than in -45°C. Meanwhile, the sperm characters of two condition showed the important variation of Ca+2 intensity, with the length of region measurement of 39.06±4.595 and 32.696±9.011 µm each.  It was concluded that the calcium intensity pattern was varied more and higher in fresh sperm than in freezing sperms. This simple modified method of a freezing system was considered as a feasible alternative method for goat semen in a reason for both for sperm post-thawing quality and practical purposes.

Abstract

Yeast which has a fermentative type can ferment alcohol, which break down the sugars into alcohol, lactic acid and gas. This yeast’s type is needed in biofertilizer process production. The purpose of this study was to observed the potential in ethanol production of the soil wild yeast that isolated from Jember-East Java, and determine the concentration of sugar product as well as the best time of ethanol fermentation. Our previously observation have found 113 yeast species. Then we select them based on fermentative ability and found five best species. These five species then has determined it’s sugar product as well as the best time of ethanol fermentation and choose two best. We have counted the level of ethanol production using glucose medium of 10%, 15% and 20% of these two best species. The results showed that Candida sp. 1 (species number-1) and Candida sp. 3 (species number-3) has a better potential to produce ethanol. The highest ethanol content was produced by Candida sp. 1 (56%) while by Candida sp. 3 (70%). While the optimum time for the ethanol fermentation process Candida sp. 1 and Candida sp. 3 is 24 hours.

Abstract

Catechins of green tea (Camelia sinensis) GMB4 clone may serve as a potential therapeutic antiobesity agent, probably through its effects on preadipocytes. Thus, to evaluate such antiobesity effects, we performed series of in vitro experiments using primary cultures of visceral preadipocytes from Rattus norvegicus strain Wistar. Quick Cell Proliferation assay, Oil Red-O staining, ELISA and immunocytochemistry were used to determine the effects of 25 µM, 50 µM, 75 µM, and 100 µM catechins on primary culture of preadipocytes, particularly on cell viability and differentiation as well as on expression of relevant obesity genes i. e. PPARγ and adiponectin levels. The results showed that there were no significant differences on preadipocytes viability among control and catechins treatments except in cells treated with 50 µM catechins (means±SD=128±2.47) which resulted 28% higher viability than control (p= 0.037). Catechins inhibited preadipocytes differentiation into adipocytes, at 100 µM up to 78% lower than control. The level of PPARy apparently was reduced by catechins, but statistically significant only at 75 μM (p= 0.029). In contrast, the adiponectin level on preadipocytes increased by catechins at 75 µM and 100 µM (0.786±0.126 and 0.673 ±0.319 ng/ml; control: 0.077±0.017, p ≤0.01). In conclusions, our data revealed that desired antiobesity effects of catechins of green tea GMB4 clone on visceral preadipocytes were concentration-dependent; at dosage 50 µM catechins enhanced cell viability; at more than 75 µM inhibited differentiation of preadipocytes and was associated with lower PPARy and higher adiponectin levels.

Abstract

Research has been done in Ketapang mangrove area of  Probolinggo city in months of September-November 2015. The objectives are to observe the fiddler crab community stucture and to analyze the effects of fiddler crabs on C/N ratio and redox potential of soil in mangrove ecosystems. The samples of fiddler crabs were taken during the low tides at 4 station (20 transects with sizes of 1 m2). Data of the fiddler crabs were measured from the soil digging insides the transect. The soil samples were taken from these crab holes wall (at the surface and at the depth of 20 cm), under the holes at the depth of 40 cm as well as from the locations that undwells by these animals at the same depth. The fiddler crab identified are U. Triangularis between 2 – 6 ind/m2, U paradussumieri 1 – 3 ind/m2, U perplexa 14 – 32 ind/m2, U dussumieri 12 – 27 ind/m2 and U. Tetragonon 3 – 6 ind/m2. The diversity is moderate (H = 1.7) and the dominance index was low (C = 0.37). C/N ratio soil were inhabited by fiddler crab between 6 – 14, the undwelled area were 14 – 20. Soil C/N ratio was inhabited by the fiddler crab at the surface and depth of 20 cm in average of 9 cm while at 40 cm in avergae of 12. The low of C/N ratio at surface and depth of 20 cm causing the organic matter turnover faster because the high nitorgen content. Soil potential redox (Eh) the undwelled areas was found –0.647 mV, meanwhile the soil Eh in the dwelled areas was positive (0.68 till 0.87 mV). This mean, the decpmposition was occured during aerobic condition and will produce untoxic subtances.

Abstract

Diclofenac sodium is a lipophilic drug. That characteristic makes it difficult to disperse well in hydrophilic gel base. The niosome with its vesicle system could overcome that low dispersibility. It affects penetration by reducing water loss in trans-epidermal layer and change lipid bilayer conformation. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of niosomal system (Span 60–Cholesterol) on preparation characteristics and diclofenac sodium penetration of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) gel base. We examined three different formulas in HPC gel base. Formula III was made in niosomal system.  Preparation  characteristics were  evaluated with organoleptic and acidity tests. Drug penetration was checked using apparatus 5-paddle over disk and 0.45 μm Milipore membrane impregnated with isopropyl myristate. The solution is phosphate buffer saline pH 7.4±0.05 in temperature 37±0.5°C. All of the data were evaluated based on one way ANOVA and continued with HSD test. It was concluded that niosomal system (span 60-cholesterol) has an influence in increasing pH value and penetration (based on flux value and permeability) of diclofenac sodium in HPC gel base.

Abstract

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranzt) is easily cultivated and an important source of carbohydrates. Currently, only a certain type of low cyanide cassava has been utilized for food product and intermediate product as flour. Processing of high cyanide cassava through submerged and solid-state fermentation simultaneously into mocap (modified cassava product) flour has successfully lowered the cyanide into a safe level for consumption. The application of mocap flour for biscuit is important to know the characteristic changes that occur due to substitution of mocap flour. Variations of wheat flour: mocap flour of 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, 10:90, and 0:100 were used in the preparation of biscuits. The resulting biscuits were analyzed for their chemical characteristics including moisture, protein, fat, starch, amylose, crude fiber, reducing sugars, and cyanide compounds. The cyanide compounds comprised of total cyanide, HCN, and cyanogenic glycosides.  Substitution of wheat flour by mocap flour in biscuit making produced the changes of biscuit characteristics. Protein, moisture, starch, amylose, fat, and reducing sugar content was decreased by increasing substitution of mocap flour. Meanwhile, crude fiber and cyanogenic compounds increased by increasing mocap flour substitution. All biscuits with variation of mocap flour substitution were safe to consume because of low level of cyanides.
