Abstract

Currently, health issues are no longer related to how to treat diseases but rather prioritize the prevention of various diseases by eating foods that contain high levels of nutrients, known as functional foods. Red dragon fruit contains betanin dye, which has various health benefits and can be grouped into functional foods. Some studies have been conducted to obtain betanin from red dragon fruit, but it is not yet known how much betanin content is present in the juice of the flesh and peel of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricencis) and how to determine the optimum extraction conditions. This study aims to analyze the betanin content in the skin and flesh of red dragon fruit and the optimal extraction conditions so that betanin can be obtained in maximum quantities. The extraction method used was the maceration method with three solvents, namely, water, ethanol, and methanol. Analysis of the betanin content in the skin and flesh of dragon fruit was carried out using UV‒Vis spectrophotometry. The results of the study revealed that water solvents can extract betanin well. In addition, the ratios of dragon fruit to water were 2:1 (flesh and water) and 1:1 (skin and water), respectively, while the optimum extraction temperature was 4–8°C. The optimum extraction time was 24 hours. Betanin was obtained from the skin and flesh of red dragon fruit at a sample:solvent ratio of 1:1, with values of 21.71 mg/mL and 17.8 mg/mL, respectively.

Abstract

Gelatin is a type of protein consisting of amino acids produced through the hydrolysis of collagen. One natural source that can be used as a raw material for making gelatin is the shrimp shell. This study aims to determine the characteristics of gelatin made from Jerbung shrimp shells (Fenneropenaeus marguensis de Man) using three types of acid solvents, namely, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid. The hydrolysis process by soaking with acid solvent was carried out with varying concentrations of 1%, 3% and 6%. The results of the analysis of the physical characteristics of gelatin with acetic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid were suitable for SNI. The pH values ranged from 4.5–6.5, the water content was less than 16%, the ash content was 3.25%, the viscosity ranged from 1.5–7 cP, and the gel strength ranged from 50–300 blooms. The FTIR data of gelatin synthesized from 3 types of acids revealed typical absorption peaks, such as N–H and O–H functional groups at wavenumbers of 3600–3400 cm-1, C–H groups 3000–2840 cm-1, and C=O groups at wavenumbers of 1800–1650 cm-1. These results indicate that Jerbung shrimp shells have potential as alternative raw materials for making gelatin.

Abstract

The use of synthetic chemicals in acid‒base testing has raised concerns about their environmental impact. The use of natural materials to produce natural indicator paper is an attempt to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Binahong (Anredera cordifolia) seeds can replace conventional chemical synthetic materials. This study aims to develop Binahong seed indicator paper as an alternative environmentally friendly material for acid‒base testing. The method used in this research is experimental and involves the extraction of Binahong seeds, making indicator paper with a certain formulation, and testing the performance of the indicator paper using standard acid and base solutions. Data collection was performed via the observation and measurement of certain parameters. The test results of the Binahong natural indicator paper revealed a significant color change when 95% ethanol was used, which produces a red or purple color at pH 1‒7, a blue color at pH 8‒10 and a yellow color at pH 11‒14. Binahong seeds have potential as an environmentally friendly alternative in acid‒base testing because they respond well to variations in the acidity and basicity of the solution.

Abstract

This research aims to synthesize silica-coated nanomagnetite EDTA functionalized (Fe3O4@SiO2-EDTA) to characterize its properties and test its ability to bind Co(II) metal ions. This research was carried out in several steps, including Synthesis of nanomagnetite and characterization via SEM, VSM, XRD, and FTIR; (2) Synthesis of nanomagnetite-coated silica (TEOS) and characterization via SEM, VSM, (3) Synthesis and characterization of silica-coated nanomagnetite with EDTA functionalization (Fe3O4@SiO2-EDTA), and characterization was carried out via SEM, VSM, XRD, and FTIR. (4) Adsorption ability test of Fe3O4@SiO2-EDTA as a Co(II) metal ion adsorbent. EDTA-functionalized silica-coated nanomagnetite was successfully synthesized. Confirmation and characterization of the synthesized material was performed on the basis of the FTIR spectrum band at wavenumber 687 cm-1, which confirmed the formation of magnetite, whereas the absorption band at wavenumber 1092 cm-1 confirmed the formation of a silica coating, and the peak at wavenumber 1617 cm-1 confirmed EDTA functionalization in the material. The peak of the XRD chromatogram is shown in XRD pattern 2, which confirms nanomagnetite, and in silica-coated nanomagnetite, the resulting characteristic peak is the same as the characteristic peak in Fe3O4 except in region 24, which confirms the presence of the silica coating. The magnetization of nanomagnetite before coating was 57 emu/g and that after coating was 48 emu/g. The maximum adsorption ability of the synthesized material for Co(II) ions was 0.1336 mg/g.

Abstract

Plastic waste is a severe environmental problem. One solution is with bioplastic from jackfruit seed starch (JS). However, this bioplastic has weaknesses, such as not being heat resistant and having low mechanical properties, so adding chitosan (CH) and glycerol is necessary to strengthen it. This study aims to determine the optimum conditions for making bioplastics from jackfruit seed starch (JS) with the addition of chitosan (CH) and its potential in ESD-oriented chemistry learning. The methods used were laboratory experiments to determine the optimum conditions for making bioplastics, and an open-ended questionnaire to determine the potential of bioplastics as an ESD-oriented chemistry learning topic. The results of this study obtained tensile strength A1 (0.904 MPa), A2 (0.669 MPa), A3 (0.541 MPa), A4 (0.618 MPa), A5 (1.357 MPa), and A6 (6.140 MPa). The elongation test resulted in A1 (15.8%), A2 (16.5%), A3 (23.7%), A4 (35.7%), A5 (58.1%), and A6 (40.1%). The addition of chitosan increases the tensile strength and elongation values of bioplastics. The A3 and A4 bioplastics biodegradation tests were optimally decomposed within 5 days with a mass loss of 94%. Questionnaire results from 40 students showed that the topic of bioplastics has the potential to be integrated with project-based ESD lectures. Thus, bioplastic making can be used as one of the chemistry learning topics in project-based ESD lectures.

Abstract

Watermelon rind extract is rich in protein, citrulline, and lycopene, whereas orange peel essential oil contains vitamins A, C, and E. Both ingredients have demonstrated potential in preventing hair loss. This study aimed to develop an oleogel that combines these two components to address hair loss. The efficacy of the oleogel for promoting hair growth was evaluated in male DDY (Deutchland Denken Yonken) mice. The oleogel characteristics, including pH, viscosity, color, homogeneity, oil binding capacity, spreadability, and organoleptic evaluations, were assessed through physical quality tests. Organoleptic analysis was conducted with 30 respondents from IPB University to identify the most preferred oleogel formulation. The yield of watermelon rind extract was 28.88%, while the orange peel essential oil constituted 2% (v/w) of the formulation. The optimal oleogel contained 3% watermelon rind extract and 1% orange peel essential oil, resulting in 100% hair growth in the mice. All the formulations met the standard requirements for oleogels, with the most favored being Formula F3, which includes 1% watermelon rind extract and 3% orange peel essential oil. This research highlights the potential of watermelon rind extract and orange peel essential oils as effective nutrients for hair loss treatment.

Abstract

One form of Indonesian cultural wisdom is the use of leaves as food packaging. In addition to being used as a packaging material, patat leaves are also believed to have antidiabetic benefits. Antidiabetic activity can be assessed through the enzyme α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. In this research, an in vitro and in silico analysis of antidiabetic activity was conducted for the first time on nonpolar extracts of patat leaves. In vitro analysis was conducted using the α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition method, compound analysis was conducted using GC‒MS/MS, and an in silico study was conducted via the molecular docking method to the α-glucosidase receptor (PDB: 3W37). The results showed that the nonpolar extract (n-hexane) had very weak antidiabetic activity (with an IC50 >> 100 ppm). However, the sample inhibited α-glucosidase enzyme activity by up to 86.91%. GC‒MS/MS analysis confirmed the presence of 19 compounds in the nonpolar extract of the patat leaves. Straight-chain hydrocarbons dominate the compounds. The compound with the greatest abundance was Octadecyl 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate (RT 33.908; 9.53% area). An in silico test revealed that the compound with the greatest potential as an antidiabetic agent was γ-methylionone (40.78 μM). On the basis of the results of this theoretical approach, the compound can be further analyzed to validate its activity.
