Abstract

Biodegradable foam can be used as an alternative packaging which is safe for health and environment. The raw material used to produce biofoam is starch. Taro consist of 67.42% starch. Contrarily, biofoam produced from starch has fragile mechanical properties. The addition of chitosan aims to improve the mechanical properties of biodegradable foam. Beside that, Chitosan is expected to reduce water absorption and increase tensile strength of biodegradable foam without reducing degradability. Biodegradable foam was synthesized by three steps, first step was isolation of starch from taro, second step was synthesis of biodegradable foam from taro starch-chitosan which used various concentration of chitosan to study the effect of chitosan addition for mechanical properties of biodegradable foam. Various concentration of chitosan was 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% (w/w). Third step was characterization of biodegradable foam.  The Analysis of biodegradable foam was carried out included FTIR functional group, mechanical properties, biodegradability and water absorption. The result showed that the best tensile strength test was 1% chitosan addition with a value of 3.75 MPa; based on water absorption test, the optimum sample was 4% chitosan addition with a value of 11.66%. The results of the functional group analysis of FTIR biodegradable foam contained of C=O (amide), CN, NH and OH groups which indicated the existence of chitosan in the sample.

Abstract

Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus. The dengue virus is transmitted through female mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Indonesia is a dengue endemic country, and almost all provinces in Indonesia are infected with dengue. However, targeted antiviral drugs against dengue virus (DENV) are not yet available. This study aimed to determine the potential of three compounds isolated from ginger (Zingiber officinale) as dengue NS2B/NS3 inhibitors, and to predict the physicochemical properties (drug-likeness) and potential toxicity of drug candidates. Ginger isolates in the form of [8]-gingerol, [6]-paradol, shogaol were obtained from the Natural Discovery Database (NADI). Toxicity and drug-likeness predictions were performed using ProTox-II and SwissADME, and Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) 2022.0901 was used for the molecular docking process. Results: The results showed that the ginger compound (Zingiber officinale), [8]-Gingerol, [6]-Paradol, and Shogaol, had binding free energy of -7.18, -7.10 and -6.88 kcal/mol, respectively. It is indicated that three compounds had  potentiality to inhibit the NS2B/NS3 protein complex with a binding free energy that was almost equivalent to that of the positive control, panduratin A, and similar to that of the positive control, which can be seen in superimposition. In addition, three compounds isolated from ginger met the drug-likeness parameters. Based on the analysis of in silico toxicity studies, the three compounds isolated from ginger showed different levels of toxicity. Therefore, based on the safety level of oral use, the [8]-gingerol compound is safer to develop as a dengue antiviral drug, where the LD50 value of [8]-gingerol is 2.580 mg/kg with a class V toxicity level that is practically nontoxic.

Abstract

Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) is a chemical industrial material that is widely used as a metal cleaner, adhesive, and as a filler in the detergent, soap and toothpaste industries. Sodium silicate can be synthesized from silica dioxide (SiO2), which can be obtained through an extraction process from materials containing silica such as sand, glass bottle waste or rice husks. In this research, the synthesis of Na2SiO3 was carried out using silica extracted from Bengkalis beach sand using the acid leaching method, with a 3M HCl solution. The results of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of Bengkalis Beach sand showed that the silica content reached 89.1%. This research aims to determine the effect of the molar ratio of the NaOH reactant to the extracted SiO2 (2:1, 3:1 and 4:1) on the Na2SiO3 produced. The synthesis of Na2SiO3 was carried out using the hydrothermal method at atmospheric pressure, by reacting a 4M NaOH solution with 10 g of silica from Bengkalis sand, by heating at 110oC for an hour and stirring at 600 rpm. A molar ratio of 2:1 is the best ratio which produces 9.427g of Na2SiO3. From analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the spectrum patterns obtained are suitable for compounds containing silanol (≡Si-OH) and siloxane (≡Si-O-Si≡) groups. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the synthesized compound is in accordance with standard sodium silicate. The Na2SiO3 obtained has a crystal diameter of 44.8 nm with an agglomerate-shaped morpology.

Abstract

In general, flavor are synthesis through enzymatic hydrolysis and esterification reactions (up to 20 hours) using commercial ingredients based on free fatty acids and alcohol. Efficient endeavors utilizing enzymatic transesterification to expedite reactions are necessary to acquire flavored products. Substrates may originate from commercial or natural sources abundant in fatty acids and alcohol. Commercial fatty acids and alcohol (geraniol) are readily available in pure forms. Alternatively, fatty acids can be sourced from coconut oil, while geraniol can be derived from lemongrass oil, which is more cost-effective compared to commercial ingredients. Ultrasonics have emerged as a means to expedite enzymatic. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of ultrasonic power and transesterification reaction time between coconut oil and geraniol on geraniol conversion. Utilizing lipase (415.99 U/g), coconut oil was subjected to transesterification with commercially obtained pure geraniol in a 1:3 weight ratio, conducted in an ultrasonic tank filled with water. Reaction durations spanned 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes, with ultrasonic powers set at 50, 70, and 90 watts. The study findings elucidated that the highest geraniol conversion rate of 50.59% was achieved with 70 watts of ultrasonic power over a 90-minute period. These optimal conditions were subsequently applied to transesterify coconut oil with geraniol from lemongrass oil, yielding a conversion rate of 90.29%. This finding demonsttrate the posibility of employing coconut oil and lemongrass oil in a one-stage transesterification process to produce natural flavors via enzymatic lipase catalysis expedited by ultrasonic technology, facilitating swift reaction times.

Abstract

Lithium battery as one of the energy storage has two important elements, namely electrodes and electrolyte. Electrolyte is a part of the battery element that has undergone many developments. In this study, the manufacture of electrolytes in the form of Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) was carried out by utilizing the abundant availability of nata de coco. The nanofibrous cellulose structure in Bacterial Cellulose (BC) nata de coco has the advantages of good porosity, flexibility in surface functionality, compact porous structure that provides abundant ion pathways and hetero atoms (oxygen atoms) with free electron pairs that facilitate ionic conduction. The SPE synthesis process was carried out by varying the soaking time of nata de coco in ethanol, namely 1, 2 and 3 days to determine the structure with optimal results. FTIR characterization results show the synthesis of cellulose nanofiber has the same groups as commercial cellulose groups in the form of O-H, C-H, C=O and C-O. CV characterization results show the SPE electrolyte has good redox properties, especially in the 2-day variation with the highest specific capacitance. The EIS test showed the lowest resistance in the 1-day variation sample with a conductivity of 0.017 ohm-1.

Abstract

The synthesis of CoMo/USY catalysts has been widely carried out. However, the bond strength between metal and USY is still a problem. Therefore, this research has synthesised the catalyst with the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Apart from that, the effect of pH on the characteristics of the catalyst is also reviewed. This research aims to analyse the effect of preparation pH on catalyst characteristics. In the preparation process, the pH of the solution is set at values of 2, 7, and 8. Catalyst activation includes a calcination process and reduction. The catalyst characterisation uses XRD, GSA, and FTIR instruments to determine phase composition, specific surface area, and functional groups. The result showed that pH preparation significantly influenced the metal loading on the catalyst and reached a maximum at pH 8. The surface area is not directly related to the pH of the preparation but has the opposite property depending on the amount of metal added. Meanwhile, it was found that the CoO and MoO3 phases were achieved on the catalyst by all pH preparations. On the other hand, the CoMo alloys are present on the catalyst at pH 7 and 8, while the Co and Mo elements are visible at pH 2. The difference in pH during the synthesis process impacts the shift in the absorption wave number of the OH vibration.

Abstract

Activated carbon from waste tires is used as MnO2 metal oxide doping in making MnO2/C-based nanocomposites into high-density and environmentally friendly supercapacitor electrodes. The MnO2/C nanocomposite synthesis process was carried out using the hydrothermal method by varying the mass of activated carbon by 1.25 g, 2.5 g and 3.75 g to determine the optimum results. Based on the results of research that has been carried out, it shows that MnO2/C can be used as a high density supercapacitor electrode. This is in accordance with the XRD test results which show that the MnO2 nanocomposite with the addition of C was successfully synthesized and has an orthorhombic crystalline phase. The SEM test results show that the material has almost the same morphology, namely many protrusions which make each particle have high roughness. The most optimal results were obtained from the MnO2/C-50 variation because it has the highest C element content, namely 39.93%, so it has the highest capacitance value of 5.791 f/g during the CV test. The GCD test shows that electrodes with a carbon variation of 2.5 g have a much longer and constant charge-discharge measurement time. In the EIS test, this variation shows a resistance value that is not too high and not too small, materials that have good storage capacity or capacity have moderate resistance.
