Abstract

Telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai preparasi dan karakterisasi pelapisan kitosan nisin terhadap kualitas ikan sidat (Anguilla bicolor bicolor) selama penyimpanan pada suhu rendah. Penyimpanan dilakukan selama 8 hari pada suhu 5 ± 2 °C. Nisin sebanyak (0, 2, 4, 6 dan 8 g) ditambahkan ke dalam larutan kitosan 1% (b/v), sehingga diperoleh lima larutan pelapis, yaitu kitosan 1,0% dan kitosan-nisin: 0,2; 0,4; 0,6 dan 0,8% (b/v). Pelapis kitosan-nisin optimal diketahui melalui pengamatan terhadap perubahan fisik daging. Tebal lapisan kitosan-nisin diamati menggunakan analisis SEM. Parameter yang diukur selama penyimpanan adalah nilai pH, nilai jumlah cemaran mikroba dengan metode Total Plate Count (TPC), kadar air, kadar lemak dan kadar protein. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan perubahan fisik selama penyimpanan, konsentrasi kitosan-nisin sebesar 0,6% (b/v) merupakan konsentrasi optimal untuk mempertahankan kualitas ikan sidat. Tebal lapisan kitosan-nissin adalah (0,529 − 0,554) mm. Ikan sidat terlapis kitosan-nisin mengalami penurunan kadar proksimat (air, lemak dan protein), peningkatan nilai pH dan jumlah cemaran mikroba yang lebih rendah dibandingkan ikan tanpa pelapisan. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pelapisan kitosan-nisin pada ikan sidat dapat mempertahankan kualitas ikan sidat selama penyimpanan pada suhu rendah.Effect of Chitosan-Nisin Coating on Quality of Eel (Anguilla bicolor bicolor) during the Storage Period at Low Temperature. The research of the preparation and characterization of chitosan-nisin as a coating layer on the eel (Anguilla bicolor bicolor) were studied. The quality of the eels after coating was observed during storage at low temperatures. The storage was carried out for 8 days at a temperature of 5 ± 2 °C. A various mass of nisin as much as (0, 2, 4, 6 dan 8 g) was added to 1% (b/v) chitosan solution, thus five coating solutions were obtained, namely 1.0% chitosan and chitosan-nissin 0,2; 0,4; 0,6 and 0,8% (w/v), respectively. The optimalization of chitosan-nisin coating was known through the observation of the physical changes of meat. The thickness of chitosan-nisin layer was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The parameters measured during storage are pH value, the amount of microbial contamination using the total plate count (TPC) method, water content, fat content and protein content. The results showed that based on the physical changes during storage, the concentration of chitosan-nisin of 0.6% (w/v) was the optimal concentration to maintain the quality of eel. The thickness of the chitosan-nissin layer was observed of 0.529 – 0.554 mm. Chitosan-nisin coated eel decreased proximate levels (water, fat and protein), increased pH value and lower amount of microbial contamination compared to fish without coating. These phenomena show that the chitosan-nisin coating can maintain the quality of eel during storage at low temperatures.

Abstract

Fish oil has been studied for medicinal purposes, including its antipyretic properties. Eel (Anguilla bicolor bicolor) oil, which contains vitamins and fatty acids, including Omega-3 (EPA and DHA), is also expected to have the antipyretic effect. This research aimed to examine the antipyretic activity of eel oil on white mice (Mus musculus L.). An in-vivo study was done on thirty Swiss-Webster strain males mice that previously got 20% yeast-induced fever. Six treatments were applied including normal group (untreated), a negative control group (yeast-treated), a positive control group treated with acetaminophen (1.764 mg/20 g body weight), and three groups treated with eel oil (0.048, 0.096 and 0.192 g/20 g body weight, respectively). The data was analyzed statistically using one way ANOVA then was continued with LSD post hoc test. The results showed that eel oil has significantly reduced yeast-induced hyperthermia on mice five hours after application at doses 0.096 and 0.192 g/20 g body weight. Our finding suggests that eel oil possess antipyretic properties when was applied in certain doses, and this effect is presumably attributed to its high content of fatty acid, including EPA and DHA.

Pemisahan asam glikolat dan asam laktat dilakukan pada kolom fasa balik C-8menggunakan fasa gerak asam ortofosfat 0,1% dengan pH 3,5 dan detektor UV-Visible. Standar asam glikolat dan asam laktat dibuat dengan melarutkannya menggunakan asam ortofosfat 0,1% pH 3,5. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa pada rentang konsentrasi 25 – 400 μg/mL, asam glikolat dan asam laktat memiliki kurva yang linear dengan koefisien korelasi masing-masing 0,9997 dan 0,9999. Uji presisi untuk larutan standar berkonsentrasi 100 µg/mL menghasilkan simpangan baku relatif sebesar 1,49% untuk asam glikolat dan 1,72% untuk asam laktat. Metode yang telah dioptimasi memberikan akurasi yang baik yang ditunjukkan oleh nilai perolehan kembali dari pengukuran tiga spiked sample dengan konsentrasi berbeda (50, 100, dan 150 μg/mL). Nilai perolehan kembali untuk masing-masing konsentrasi spiked sample adalah 97,12% ± 0,69; 98,76% ± 0,43; 100,80% ± 0,29 untuk asam glikolat dan 97,58% ± 0,39; 96,20% ± 0,68; 98,00% ± 0,38 untuk asam laktat. Batas deteksi dan batas kuantisasi untuk asam glikolat adalah 0,05 dan 0,17 μg/mL, sedangkan untuk asam laktat adalah 1,40 dan 4,67 μg/mL. Nilai kekasaran metode untuk asam glikolat pada hari pertama dan hari kedua adalah 1,43% dan 1,67%, sedangkan untuk asam laktat adalah 1,67% dan 1,25%. Metode yang telah dioptimasi dan divalidasi berpotensi untuk digunakan secara spesifik pada penentuan kadar asam glikolat dan asam laktat dalam krim.Optimization and Validation of Determination Methods of Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid in Cream Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. A high-performance liquid chromatography analytical method for the determination of glycolic acid and lactic acid in creams has been optimized and validated. The separation was performed in a reverse phase C–8 column with a mobile phase of 0.1%, orthophosphoric acid at pH 3.5, and UV-Visible detector. The standard of glycolic acid and lactic acid was dissolved in 0.1% orthophosphoric acid at pH 3.5. The experimental results showed that in the concentration range of 25–400 μg/mL, glycolic acid and lactic acid showed a linear curve with a correlation coefficient of 0.9997 and 0.9999, respectively. The precision test for standard solutions containing 100 µg/mL resulted in a relative standard deviation of 1.49% for glycolic acid and 1.72% for lactic acid. The optimized method provided good accuracy indicated by the recovery of the measurement of three spiked samples in different concentrations (50, 100, and 150 μg/mL). The recovery for each concentration of the spiked sample was 97.12% ± 0.69; 98.76% ± 0.43; 100.80% ± 0.29 for glycolic acid and 97.58% ± 0.39; 96.20% ± 0.68; 98.00% ± 0.38 for lactic acid. The limit of detection and limit of quantization for glycolic acid was 0.05 and 0.17 μg/mL, and for lactic acid was 1.40 and 4.67 μg/mL. The ruggedness of the method for glycolic acid on the first day and second day was 1.43% and 1.67%, while for lactic acid, it was 1.67% and 1.25%. The method that has been optimized and validated shows the potential to be used specifically for the determination of glycolic acid and lactic acid in the cream.

Abstract

Studi mengenai elektrokatalis untuk reaksi evolusi hidrogen (HER) dan evolusi oksigen (OER) sangat diperlukan terkait aplikasinya dalam pengembangan energi terbarukan berbasis hidrogen. Komposit perak nanowires (AgNWs) dengan polianilina (PANI) disiapkan dengan metode polimerisasi radikal dalam larutan matriks kitosan untuk menurunkan ukuran partikel PANI. Komposit disintesis dengan 3 perlakuan yang berbeda, yaitu perlakuan suhu ruang, suhu rendah, dan sonikasi. Aktivitas elektrokatalisis diukur dengan voltammetri sapuan linear (LSV). Informasi tentang densitas arus pertukaran dan overpotensial sebagai variabel utama pengukuran aktivitas elektrokatalisis diperoleh dari plot Tafel pada LSV. Semua komposit dengan perlakuan suhu dan sonikasi menunjukkan karakter katodik berdasarkan nilai overpotensialnya yang negatif (aktivitas HER), sedangkan komposit dengan perlakuan suhu rendah memiliki karakter anodik (aktivitas OER).A Composite of   Polyaniline/Chitosan/Silver Nanowires as Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalyst in Neutral Medium. Study on electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is urgently needed related to its application in hydrogen-based renewable energy development. A composite of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with polyaniline (PANI) was prepared by radical polymerization method in chitosan matrix solution to reduce the PANI particle size. Each composite was synthesized under three different treatment conditions, which are room temperature, low temperature, and sonication. Linear sweeping voltammetry (LSV) was conducted to measure electrocatalytic activity of the composites. Information about exchange current density and overpotential as important variables in this field were obtained from Tafel plot in the LSV. The temperature and sonication-treated composites have cathodic character due to its negative overpotential (HER activity), while low temperature-treated composites have anodic character (OER activity).
