Abstract

Breast cancer is the highest incidence of cancer for among women worldwide. The use of anticancer compounds from natural ingredients as cancer therapeutics is to reduce chemotherapy side effects. Indonesia has high biodiversity especially its pharmacologically beneficial such as Nipah. Nipah (Nypa fruticans W.) is a type of palm-shaped mangrove plant which widely found in watershed areas . This study aims to explores the bioactivity of ethanol extract from N. fruticans leaves against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Screening for bioactive compounds was performed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Anticancer pre-screening was assessed by brine shrimp lethality (BSL) test and anticancer activity was assessed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-cyl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay. According of GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 54 phytochemical compounds. Some of them have bioactivity as anticancer including Sitosterol, Tocopherol, and Phytol. The BSLT method showed potent activity with LC50 was 84.25 µg/mL. Anticancer activity using MTT assays results the low IC50 value was 88.77 µg/mL that showed high anticancer activity by growth inhibition in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. This study delivers information that ethanol extract from N. fruticans leaves possesses bioactive compounds could be use as a candidate for anticancer compounds for cancer treatment.

Abstract

Beef is a food source with a high protein content that would be ideal for microbes to flourish. Microbes would reduce the quality of a product. Therefore, an indicator on smart packaging would be needed to detect the quality of a product. The indicator film in this study used butterfly pea flower extract which contains a natural coloring agent, anthocyanin. The objective of this study was to obtain the indicator film with the best concentration of PVA, chitosan, and butterfly pea flower extract as the natural dye, to study the response of indicator film color, pH, and thickness, to the beef pH and TVBN, and to calculate the total microbes as the determinant of the beef quality. The study consisted of three steps, namely, the extraction of butterfly pea flower, the making of indicator film, and the application of indicator film on beef packaging. The best indicator film was obtained with the formulation of PVA and chitosan of 20:80 with the addition of 5 ml of butterfly pea extract. The color change was from blue to yellowish-green with °hue of 137.81±19.31o. The thickness of indicator film in 48 hours of storage decreased from 0.171±0.042 to 0.136±0.043. The pH of beef increased after 8 hours of storage from 5.726±0.011 to 7.540±0.351. The TVBN of beef after 8 hours of storage had exceeded the threshold of 30.815±5,602 which indicates that it was not safe for consumption. The TPC of beef from the 8 hours of storage had exceeded the maximum number of 7.338±0.035 log CFU/g. Keyword: anthocyanin, butterfly pea extract, thickness, volatile bases

Abstract

Japanese taro is an alternative food commodity and has prospects as an export commodity, especially to Japan. Colchicine is a mutagen that can be used in polyploid mutations but can be toxic in plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of various concentrations of colchicine and immersion time on the growth and morphological characters of Japanese taro plantlets in vitro. In this study, there were 2 focus factors of treatment. The first factor is colchicine concentration consisting of 0.0% (K0/control), 0.1% (K1), 0.2% (K2) and 0.3% (K3). the second factor is the immersion time consisting of 48 hours (T1), 72 hours (T2) and 96 hours (T3). The treatment of in vitro shoot immersion with 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% concentration of colchicine solution for 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours was significantly different from the control. Explant growth decreased every week and died at 6 MSI on colchicine treatment. The level of concentration and duration of immersion with different colchicine caused different color changes of the explants, the higher the concentration of colchicine and the duration of immersion, the color of the explants would quickly turn brown.

Abstract

This research was carried out to produce wine from banana (Musa sapientum) using yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) isolated from grape (Vitis vinifera). The fermentation of the banana wine lasted for 21days. During fermentation, liquor of the fermenting “must” were removed every 48hours from the fermentor for analysis of pH, titratable acidity, specific gravity and reducing sugar using standard procedures.. The results from the experiment showed that Specific gravity of the wine was observed to reduce drastically as the fermentation progresses. The pH of the Banana wine during fermentation increased from 4.16- 4.22 while the titrable acidity of the Banana wine produced increased from 1.05-1.77. The alcohol content of the wine increased from 0.0 to 9%. The higher the fermentation temperature, the faster the conversion of sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the yeast. The flavor and taste was appreciable. This study showed that acceptable wine can be produced from banana with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from grape.

Abstract

This study aims to measure the biological activity of flavonols in the leaves of Sterculia foetida as an antihyperlipidemic drug. The chemical structure of flavonols contained in the leaves of Sterculia foetida was taken from the literature. The target protein used was 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and the control was simvastatin. Water molecules have been removed with PyMol v2.5.2 Software. Docking between the target protein and flavonols was performed using PyRx-Python Prescription 0.8 Software. The results showed that flavonol compounds have greater potential for antihyperlipidemia compared to control compounds. The equivalent affinity of 3-hydroxy 3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase for flavonols is -8.3, and the affinity of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase for simvastatin is -7.9. Flavonol toxicity studies have shown that flavonols are not potentially carcinogenic and did not cause mutations. The absorption of flavonols in water was higher than that of the control compound.
