Abstract

A high crystallinity proportion of cellulose and nanocellulose in some points contribute to the solubility in polar solvent. This paper reports oxidation reaction study by using potassium permanganate of the cellulose and nanocellulose isolated from the soft wood of Paraserianthes falcataria.  The reaction was conducted under acidic condition at 30 and 70°C for 12 and 24 hours. The product was characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, DTA-TGA, and solubility test. Oxidation of cellulose resulted in the opening of hemiacetal of glucopyranose chain, as indicated by carbonyl peak recorded in FTIR spectra. The particle size was determined and amorphous product of cellulose and nanocellulose was isolated. In addition, the DTA/TGA analysis indicate the oxidized cellulose give a more stable structure than the nanocellulose.

Abstract

Methylene blue is a synthetic dye known to be harmful to aquatic environments. Therefore, efforts are needed to minimize methylene blue waste. This study focuses on degrading methylene blue through photocatalysis, a method chosen for its affordability and ease of use. The photocatalyst used is hydroxyapatite (HAp) derived from limestone (CaCO3) doped with zinc ions (Zn2+). This combination enhances the efficiency of breaking down dye molecules in liquid waste. The photocatalytic performance was tested under three variations: solution concentration, contact time, and pH, using an 8-watt UV lamp for specified durations. Solution absorbance was measured using a Shimadzu 1800 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Optimal conditions for methylene blue photodegradation by Zn-doped HAp were achieved at 67.2% efficiency for 5 ppm concentration, 16.125% for 120 minutes of irradiation, and 34.86% at pH 7. Additionally, the study included an analysis of adsorption isotherm models for concentration variation and kinetic adsorption analysis for time variation. The Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherm models were found to be most suitable with an R2 = 1. The photodegradation kinetics model followed pseudo second-order kinetics with an R2 = 0.990.

Abstract

Alpha-pinene is the main compound in turpentine oil and is widely used as a fragrance, fine chemistry, flavour, and antibacterial. Due to the presence of unsaturated double bonds in its structure, this compound’s chemical properties are relatively active. Hydrogenation is a common method for saturating compounds and nickel has shown good activity in this process as catalysts. However, it often shows reaction conditions such as high pressure. The research method added nickel chloride to a suspension mixture of NaBH4 in isopropyl alcohol until a black colloidal solution and a-pinene reagents were added. Hydrogen gas was added in different conditions, with a pressure of 2-4 atm at the temperature of 50-60 oC 24h. The result showed a nickel formed at a nanoparticle size of 34-81 nm. Furthermore, FT-IR results show a difference in intensity at wavelengths of 1600 and 3000 cm-1, indicating the formation of hydrogenation products. The GC-MS shows a new peak at a retentivity of 5.503, which characteristics show that it is identified as a pinane compound with the highest percentage of 63% at a reaction condition of 4 atm.

Abstract

One of the interesting properties of Aurivillius compounds is photocatalysts; therefore, they have the potential to be used as antibacterials. However, the study of the antibacterial properties of Aurivillius compounds is still very limited, therefore it’s important to conduct research on it’s properties. Our research aims to study the photocatalytic activity of SrBi2Ta2O9 compounds synthesized by molten salt method (using NaCl/KCl salt) as antibacterial. The diffractogram of the sample shows that the SrBi2Ta2O9 was successfully synthesized, but an impurity phase was formed as Bi2O3, Ta2O5, and SrBi2.83Ta5O15. The SEM images show that the morphological shape obtained is plate-like, which still has agglomeration with particle size distribution at range 20-80 μm. Plot tauc shows that the band gap energy of SrBi2Ta2O9 compounds is 2.8 and 3.06 eV, respectively. The antibacterial activity test results showed that the SrBi2Ta2O9 compound can inhibit staphylococcus bacterial growth under and without light radiation. It indicates that there are two possible mechanisms related to the inhibition of bacterial growth i.e: (a) photocatalysis, and (b) toxicity properties.

Abstract

Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris), a plant native to Central Kalimantan, is recognized for its potent antioxidant properties. This study aimed to investigate the preparation, extraction, phytochemical composition, antioxidant potential, and molecular interactions of secondary metabolites derived from Kelakai, emphasizing its health-promoting benefits and possible use as a natural growth enhancer. The findings revealed that the Kelakai extract contained various secondary metabolites, including alkaloids (8.868%), flavonoids (5.3%), saponins (10.76%), phenolics (1.246%), tannins (0.067%), and triterpenes (30.7%). The extract demonstrated a powerful antioxidant effect, with an IC50 value of 44.81 μg/mL. Molecular docking analysis identified chlorogenic acid and eucalyptol as essential compounds contributing to the extract's antioxidant activity. These compounds effectively inhibit the iNOS protein, with binding free energy (ΔGbinding) values of -10.3044 kcal/mol and -6.0872 kcal/mol, respectively. These findings suggest that kelakai extract possesses significant antioxidant potential and may offer valuable applications as a natural growth promoter for broiler chickens.

Abstract

Acorus calamus L. is a medicinal plant with rhizomes commonly used in traditional medicine. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid content, toxicity, and antibacterial activity of isolates from the rhizome of Acorus calamus L. The rhizome extract was sonicated using 70% ethanol, yielding 18.73% (w/w), and partitioned using ethyl acetate, yielding 10.80% (w/w). Subsequently, the ethyl acetate fraction was further separated using column chromatography. FTIR analysis of the ethanol extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and column isolates confirmed the presence of O–H functional groups and other vibrations, indicating the presence of flavonoid compounds. UV analysis revealed absorption at the band I (302, 302, 383 nm) and band II (253, 254, 258 nm). The total flavonoid content of the isolates, determined using AlCl3, was 32.95 mg QE/g. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of the column chromatography isolates identified the presence of isorhamnetin, quercetin, genistein, and glycitein. Furthermore, toxicity and antibacterial activity tests on the ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction showed LC50 values of 143.53 ppm and 41.16 ppm, respectively, and inhibition zone diameters ranging from 2.30-4.54 mm and 2.63-5.29 mm, respectively.
