Abstract

Vitamin E is found naturally in some foods, and also available as a dietary supplement. "Vitamin E" is the fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. The vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, which protects cell membranes. Sterinernema feltieae was selected as a test organism is because this organism is a complex organism and can be used as a model for whole organisms. The objective of this study is to evaluate the activity of vitamin E and its derivatives on Sterinernema feltieae. The results showed that the derivative of vitamin E (C37H55NO3) was most active against S. feltiae with the LD50 value was 207.77 μM, followed by vitamin E (C29H50O2) with the LD50 value was 209.09 μM. These results indicated that derivative of vitamin E (C37H55NO3) exerts more potent toxicity than vitamin E against Sterinernema feltieae.

Abstract

Polyurethane (PU) membranes were prepared from red seaweed (Gracilaria sp.), castor oil, Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI), and added benzoyl peroxide (BPO) additive to improve membrane performance. The membrane is applied for the adsorption of ammonia in the solution. FT-IR analysis showed the presence of functional group N = C = O at a wavenumber of 2276 cm-1 and the O-H functional group at a wave number of 3373.50 cm-1, indicating the urethane group's formation has been formed during membrane polymerization. SEM images showed the morphological structure of the PU membrane, where the more open structure of the PU membrane by the addition of BPO. The DSC and TGA results showed the membrane's thermal stability with the addition of BPO. The PU membrane has an optimum contact time for ammonia uptake of 40 minutes. The adsorption isotherm of ammonia by the PU membrane follows the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of the PU membrane with the addition of BPO additives was 13.2 mg/g,  which shows that the adsorption capacity of the PU-BPO membrane has a better performance than a membrane without the addition of the BPO. The PU-BPO membrane could be used as an alternative method of ammonia removal.

Abstract

This study aimed to isolate and identify specific bacteria responsible for the conversion of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) into formaldehyde in tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus). The gastrointestinal tract of tiger grouper specimens was sampled, and bacterial colonies were isolated using nutrient agar (NA) and screened on TMAO media. Bacterial isolates capable of producing formaldehyde were identified. The implications of these findings extend to food safety, scientific research, medical diagnostics, and industrial applications. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the enzymatic pathways and genetic factors associated with formaldehyde production in these bacteria. Evaluation of the antibacterial compound production capability revealed inhibitory zones against Escherichia coli, indicating the potential for bactericidal properties. Gram staining and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to characterize the formaldehyde-producing bacteria, revealing their gram-positive nature and rod-shaped morphology. This study provides insights into the role of specific bacteria in formaldehyde production, paving the way for future research and applications in various fields.

Abstract

The high price of beef and its processed products has led to many cases of adulteration with pork, resulting in issues related to halal food assurance. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct identification and analysis of the types of meat used in order to maintain food halalness. One of the methods currently advancing in the identification and analysis of meat types is Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The aim of this study is to determine the capability of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in identifying and analyzing various types of meat. The study results indicate that the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) method is capable of identifying and analyzing meat types with simple sample preparation and accurate outcomes compared to other methods such as Real Time-PCR, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), Electronic Nose System, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy. The Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) method can be combined with various chemometric methods such as PCA, PLS, and MSC. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) can identify and analyze various types of meat with an accuracy of up to 100% in shrimp and clams mixed sample. In conclusion, the combination of LIBS and chemometric methods demonstrates promising results in identifying and analyzing meat types.

Abstract

In this study, a Polypyrrole doped KCl/KCl saturated (PPy-Cl/KCl) reference electrode had been successfully developed. In this development process, the PPy-Cl/KCl reference electrode that had been provided consisted of two stages of refinement, specifically the PPy-Cl/KCl 1 reference electrode which became the PPy-Cl/KCl 2 reference electrode. Furthermore, the PPy-Cl/KCl 2 SRE was made into 3 types with cycle variations of 10, 15, and 20 cycles and the mV response value test and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) test were carried out. Regarding the variation results, PPy-Cl/KCl 2 SRE was obtained with 15 cycles as the best PPy-Cl/KCl 2 reference electrode with ∆mV value of 3.43 mV. Subsequently, the PPy-Cl/KCl 2 SRE with 15 cycles was involved in the characterization test using cyclic voltammetry (CV) testing, response testing vs Cl sensors and drift testing. In the CV testing, the PPy-Cl/KCl 2 SRE with 15 cycles indicated a voltammogram graphic pattern similar to the Ag/AgCl reference electrode as a commercial reference electrode. Moreover, in the response testing vs the Cl sensor, the PPy-Cl/KCl 2 SRE with 15 cycles provided a Nernstian number value of -54.5 mV/s with a testing range of 0.1-104 M, and in the PPy-Cl/SRE drift testing, KCl 2 with 15 cycles indicated fairly good stability, particularly with a drift value of 1 mV/minute which was achieved after the conditioning process after 3.5 minutes.

Abstract

Endophytic fungi, which reside within plant tissues, offer a unique ecological perspective due to their mutually beneficial relationship with host plants. Soursop (Annona muricata L.) leaves, known for their medicinal properties, contain bioactive compounds that may be produced by endophytic fungi. This study aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from soursop leaves and evaluate their potential as antimicrobial compound producers. Twenty endophytic fungal isolates were obtained from soursop leaves using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) supplemented with leaf extract. Out of these isolates, eight demonstrated antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms. Notably, the extract produced by SLE16 exhibited inhibitory effects against Gram-negative bacteria, while isolates SLE7, SLE8, and SLE14 showed antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Furthermore, isolates SLE18, SLE19, and SLE20 displayed significant inhibition of Trichophyton rubrum growth. The extracellular extracts derived from these endophytic fungi exhibited hydrophilic properties and formed inhibition zones larger than 15 mm, indicating their potential as antimicrobial compounds. These findings highlight the potential of endophytic fungi isolated from soursop leaves as valuable sources of novel antimicrobial compounds
