Abstract

Plant extracts can be used to synthesize nanoparticle because it is efficient, economical, and friendly to the environment. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were synthesized using an aqueous fraction of Vitis vinifera L leaf extract and Cu(NO3)2 solution as a precursor. This fraction contains secondary metabolites as a reduction agent and stabilizing agents to formed CuO NPs. CuO NPs can be used as a catalyst in a chemical reaction, one of which is the Doebner reaction, which is a simple and efficient reaction of aniline, aromatic aldehydes, and pyruvic acid under reflux conditions to produce derivatives quinoline-4-carboxylic acid. CuO NPs were effectively used in the Doebner reaction and yielded a product is 79.84%. The CuO NPs characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) which showed CuO NPs were formed with a size of 24.39 nm. The product synthesized was characterized by TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography), FTIR, UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and confirmed 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid was formed.

Abstract

Herein, bionanocomposites of chitosan (CS)/silver nanoparticle/organoclay/zinc oxide nanoparticle (CS/Ag/OC/ZnO) were prepared for antibacterial food packaging. This study examines the time variation in the AgNP synthesis method by comparing local (74˗85% deacetylated) and commercial chitosan (75%˗85% deacetylated) as a reducing and capping agent and seeks to reconstruct the optimum ratio formulations of AgNPs and ZnONPs in bionanocomposites for food packaging. The results reveal that the synthesis of AgNPs was successfully carried out using a local chitosan solution as a reducing and capping agent. The CS/Ag/OC/ZnO films exhibit structural, mechanical, and optical properties suitable for food packaging and antibacterial activity on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The relative inhibition zone increased with increasing numbers of AgNPs and ZnONPs. The inhibition zone values indicated that E. coli and S. aureus bacteria were sensitive to the film, namely 12.5 ± 1.5 mm, and 16 ± 0.0 mm, respectively.

Abstract

Avian Influenza (AI) is one of the strategic animal diseases still considered a priority for control by the Indonesian government. This study aimed to examine the immune response of chickens to various types of H5N1 subtype AI vaccines in Indonesia and to determine the correlation of factors influencing the post-vaccination AI antibody response. Serum samples were tested using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test with the standard AI antigen subtype H5N1 strain A/Chicken/Barru/BBVM/41-13/2013 (Clade 2.1.3) and strain A/Chicken/Semarang/04141225-07/2014 (Clade 2.3.2). Antibody titer was calculated using the Geometric Mean Titer (GMT). The correlation analyses were performed to assess the correlation of antibody titer against each of the following factors: age of chicken at the time of sampling, the interval between sampling time and the previous vaccination, and the number of vaccinations performed. The results showed that the average antibody titer value against the AI antigen subtype H5N1 strain A/Chicken/Barru/BBVM/41-13/2013 (Clade 2.1.3) was highest in samples from the South Sumatra Province, namely, Palembang City, which was 26.42 HIU. The results showed a significant correlation (p-value <0,05) between antibody titer and the interval between sampling time and the previous vaccination, the number of vaccination performed and age of chicken at the time of sampling. Therefore, results showed that the immunity developed from vaccination using the AI vaccine seed subtype H5N1 could induce immunity with a protective value of ≥16.
