"ABSTRAKReduction of free fatty acid (FFA) in used palm oil was determined after treatment of waste cooking oil with an adsorbent derived from coffee bean husk ash. Coffee husks were burned at 600 ºC for 12 hrs to obtain the adsorbent ash. Free fatty acid removal efficiency was optimized with respect to ash dosage, contact time and temperature. It was found that shaking ash (1 g) with waste palm oil (50 g) at 250 rpm and 30°C for 330 min gave the highest reduction in free fatty acids (FFA) (1966 mg/g). The adsorption isotherm was followed by Temkin (R2 = 0.9283) and Freundlich models (R2 = 0.9146). The adsorption of FFA at all adsorbent doses followed pseudo-second order kinetics (R2 = 0.9817-0.9999). A thermodynamic study revealed that the changes in enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy were 89.07 kJ/mol, -0.25 kJ/mol.K and -5.15 to -12.17 kJ/mol, respectively. The coffee husk ash (5 g ash / 50 g waste palm oil) was found to reduce FFA by 100% at 30°C.KeywordsCoffee husk, Used palm oil, Free fatty acid, Adsorption, Ash"

"Salah satu senyawa yang terkandung di dalam ekstrak kulit batang murbei putih (Morus alba) adalah apigenin. Senyawa ini diketahui mempunyai aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 yang bermanfaat dalam pengobatan diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki dan mengevaluasi aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 ekstrak ionic liquid kulit batang murbei putih yang diekstraksi secara Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE). Ionic liquid (IL) yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate (Bmim[MeSO4]) dan garam yang digunakan untuk pemisahannya adalah Na2CO3, kemudian kadar apigenin yang terdapat di dalamnya dianalisa menggunakan HPLC. Besar aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 diukur dengan menggunakan alat Glomax-Multi Detection System (Promega, USA). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kondisi ekstraksi IL-MAE paling optimum untuk dapat menarik apigenin paling banyak adalah pada konsetrasi IL 1,25M, rasio IL (solid/liquid) 1:15, dan waktu ekstraksi selama 12,5 menit dengan kadar apigenin yang diperoleh adalah 1,98 g/g simplisia. Aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 terbesar diperoleh pada ekstrak ionic liquid kulit batang murbei putih dengan kadar apigenin sebanyak 0,74 g/g simplisia yang memiliki aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 sebesar 77,56%. Sementara ekstrak etanol dengan hidrolisa asam 100 ppm kulit batang murbei putih memiliki aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 sebesar 19,9%. Apigenin standar 100 ppm memiliki aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 sebesar 42,13%. Dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa ekstraksi menggunakan IL-MAE dapat menarik senyawa apigenin dari kulit batang murbei putih. Aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4 ekstrak IL yang lebih tinggi dari apigenin standar diperkirakan karena adanya senyawa lain di dalam ekstrak yang juga memiliki aktivitas penghambatan DPP-4.

One of the compounds contained in the extract of white mulberry bark (Morus alba) is apigenin. This compound is known to have inhibitory activity for DPP-4 which is useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to investigate the DPP-4 inhibitory activity in the ionic liquid extract of white mulberry bark extracted by Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE). The Ionic liquid used in this study was 1-butyl-3-ethylimidazolium methylsulfate (Bmim[MeSO4]) and the salt used for its separation is Na2CO3 then analyzed levels of apigenin contained using HPLC. The activity of DPP-4 inhibitory measured by using The Glomax-Multi Detection System (Promega, USA). The results showed that the most optimum IL-MAE extraction conditions to be able to attract the most apigenin were at the concentration of 1.25M IL, ratio of IL (solid / liquid) 1:15, and extraction time for 12.5 minutes with apigenin levels obtained was 1.98 g/g simplicia. The largest DPP-4 inhibitory activity was obtained on ionic liquid extract of white mulberry bark with apigenin levels of 0.74 g/g simplicia which had DPP-4 inhibition activity of 77.56%. While the ethanol extract with 100 ppm acid hydrolysis of white mulberry bark has DPP-4 inhibition activity of 19.9%. The 100 ppm standard Apigenin has DPP-4 inhibition activity of 42.13%. From this study it is known that extraction using IL-MAE can attract apigenin compounds from white mulberry bark. IL extract inhibitory activity of DPP-4 higher than standard apigenin is estimated because of the presence of other compounds in the extract which also have DPP-4 inhibitory activity."

"Pertumbuhan populasi dan pengembangan industri menyebabkan pencemaran air semakin banyak. Salah satu sumber utama pencemaran air yaitu zat pewarna organik. Metode degradasi fotokatalis merupakan solusi efektif untuk menghilangkan zat pewarna organik dalam air, salah satu contohnya ialah metode fotokatalisis dengan menggunakan semikonduktor ZnO. ZnO sebagai fotokatalis memiliki keterbatasan yaitu rekombinasi pasangan elektron-hole yang dapat menurunkan aktivitas fotokatalitik dari ZnO. Salah satu upaya untuk menekan rekombinasi yaitu membuat struktur nanokomposit ZnO dengan logam mulia Ag dan Pt yang dapat bertindak sebagai pengikat elektron. Paduan logam AgPt dengan bentuk anisotropik juga diketahui memiliki sifat fotokatalitik lebih tinggi dari bentuk isotropik logam tunggal.Pada penelitian ini dibuat fotokatalis untuk degradasi metilen biru berupa struktur nanokomposit nanorod ZnO dengan nanopartikel AgPt dengan perbandingan mol 0:1, 1:2, 1:1, dan 1:0. Nanorod ZnO yang ditumbuhkan di atas substrat kaca dengan metode hidrotermal, sedangkan nanopartikel AgPt dibuat dengan metoda reduksi yang kemudian dideposisi di atas permukaan ZnO dengan menggunakan metode drop casting. Kecepatan degradasi tertinggi dicapai oleh ZnO/Ag1Pt1 yaitu 62,29 % dibawah penyinaran UV dan 64,49% dibawah penyinaran cahaya tampak. Keberadaan nanopartikel AgPt pada permukaan ZnO mengakibatkan terjadinya transfer elektron dari ZnO ke nanopartikel AgPt sehingga nanopartikel AgPt bertindak sebagai electron sink yang dapat menghambat laju rekombinasi seperti ditunjukkan dengan penurunan drastis intensitas fotoluminisensi. Selain itu, paduan AgPt yang berbentuk nanopartikel heksagonal dengan ukuran yang lebih seragam diduga berperan dalam meningkatkan aktivitas fotokatalitiknya.

Population growth and industrial development cause more water pollution. One of the main sources of water pollution is organic dyes. Degradation method by using semiconductor photocatalyst is one of effective solutions for removing organic dyes in water. As a photocatalyst, ZnO has limitation, namely the high recombination rate of electron-hole pairs that can decrease the photocatalytic activity of ZnO. One of the efforts to supress the recombination rate is to develop the nanocomposite structures between ZnO with noble metals such as Ag and Pt that can act as electron sinks. Moreover, AgPt metal alloys with anisotropic form are known has higher photocatalytic activity than single metal isotropic.

In this study, the photocatalysts for the degradation of methylene blue were made in the form of nanocomposite ZnO nanorods with AgPt nanoparticles with Ag/Pt mol ratio of 0:1, 1:2, 1:1, and 1:0. ZnO nanorods were grown on a glass substrate by hydrothermal method, while AgPt nanoparticles were synthesized by a reduction method and then deposited on the ZnO surface using the drop casting method. The highest degradation rate was achieved by ZnO/Ag1Pt1 up to 62.29% under UV irradiation and 64.49% under visible light irradiation. The presence of AgPt nanoparticles on the ZnO surface results in the transfer of electrons from ZnO to AgPt nanoparticles so that AgPt nanoparticles act as electron sinks that can inhibit the recombination rate as indicated by a drastic decrease in the photoluminisence intensity. Moreover, the Ag1Pt1 were formed in hexagonal particles in uniform size may also induce the higher photocatalytic activity."

"ABSTRAKKeberhasilan suatu transformasi dalam kloning molekular untuk mengetahui apakah suatu gen telah tersisipi atau terekspresi dalam populasi sel atau organisme dapat diketahui melalui gen pelapor. Salah satu gen pelapor adalah sgfpS65T yang menyandi kemampuan menghasilkan warna/perpendaran cahaya lebih baik dengan bantuan sinar biru di antara varian gfp lainnya dan efisien karena tidak membutuhkan substrat untuk mengetahui ekspresinya, sehingga tidak bersifat toksik dan mempercepat proses seleksi transforman. Vektor kloning yang akan digunakan untuk membawa gen sgfpS65T ini adalah vektor binary pCAMBIA1305.1 yaitu vektor pembawa gen gusPlus sebagai gen pelapornya dan vektor yang umum digunakan untuk transformasi ke tanaman. Karena untuk mengetahui ekspresi dari gen gusPlus membutuhkan substrat yang dapat bersifat toksik terhadap sel transforman, maka dilakukan substitusi gen pelapor gusPlus pada pCAMBIA1305.1 dengan sgfpS65T dari pNU400 melalui konstruksi plasmid. Dari hasil penelitian ini diperoleh konstruksi plasmid pCAMBIA1305.1 pembawa fragmen sgfpS65T (pDWJ3) dengan panjang 720 bp, namun pada fragmen tersebut terdapat mutasi (substitusi basa) pada posisi 294 bp dan 710 bp. Pada posisi 294 bp menyandi asam amino yang sama dengan sequence acuan yaitu threonine dan pada posisi 710 bp menyandi asam amino yang berbeda yaitu phenylalanin, yang seharusnya menyandi asam amino leusin. Jadi, kemungkinan pDWJ3 tidak dapat mengekspresikan gen sgfpS65T dan diperlukan analisis lebih lanjut dan memastikan kembali mutasi yang terjadi pada fragmen tersebut.

ABSTRACTThe success of a clone transformation can be identified by reporter gene. This gene can detect whether a particular gene has been inserted and expressed in cells or organisms, one of which is sgfpS65T that encode the ability to produce color better than other gfp variants and efficient because it does not require a substrate to determine the expression, non toxic and accelerate the selection process transformant. pCAMBIA1305.1 is cloning vectors that will be used to carry sgfpS65T. pCAMBIA1305.1 binary vector carrying reporter gene gusPlus and commonly used for plant transformation. Due to determine the expression of gusPlus requires a substrate that can be toxic to the cell transformant, then performed reporter gene substitution gusPlus contained in pCAMBIA1305.1 with sgfpS65T from pNU400 through the construction of plasmid. This study has obtained pCAMBIA1305.1 containing 720 bp sgfpS65T (pDWJ3), but these fragments contained mutation (base substitution) at position 294 bp and 710 bp. At position 294 bp encode the same amino acid sequence of reference threonine, at position 710 bp encode a different amino acid that is phenylalanin, which should encode the amino acid leucine. Thus, the possibility can not express sgfpS65T (pDWJ3) and required further analysis and ensure that mutations occur in these fragments."
