Optimalisasi Aktivitas Antibakteri Formulasi Hidrogel Kitosan Berbasis Jaringan Saraf Multilayer Perceptron dalam Bioteknologi Lingkungan
Pengembangan biomaterial antibakteri yang berkelanjutan sangat penting untuk kemajuan bioteknologi lingkungan dan meningkatkan pengendalian patogen. Komposit hidrogel berbasis kitin menunjukkan aktivitas antimikroba alami. Namun, penentuan formulasi optimal masih menjadi tantangan akibat interaksi nonlinier antara kitin, PVA, gelatin, dan honey (madu). Studi ini memperkenalkan jaringan saraf tiruan Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) sebagai kerangka kerja prediktif dan optimasi cerdas untuk menentukan komposisi hidrogel paling efektif terhadap Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Model MLP dilatih menggunakan dataset sekunder dan dievaluasi melalui R², MSE, RMSE, dan MAE untuk menilai akurasi prediksi dan kinerja generalisasi. Model mencapai R² sebesar 0.991 pada tahap pelatihan dan 0.914 pada tahap pengujian, menunjukkan kemampuan yang baik dalam menangkap hubungan variabel yang kompleks. Kemudian, optimasi berbasis grid mengidentifikasi formulasi optimal yang terdiri dari 0.06 g/mL kitosan, 0.05 g/mL PVA, 0.00 g/mL gelatin, dan 0.01 g/mL honey (madu), menghasilkan zona inhibisi maksimum sebesar 30.66 mm. Selain itu, validasi eksternal menunjukkan bahwa model MLP menghasilkan bias rata-rata sebesar 4.80%, melampaui Response Surface Methodologydan mengonfirmasi kemampuannya yang superior dalam pemodelan nonlinier. Hasil ini menunjukkan potensi jaringan saraf MLP sebagai salah satu algoritma pemodelan untuk mempercepat penemuan dan optimasi hidrogel antibakteri ramah lingkungan dalam aplikasi bioteknologi lingkungan

Rancang Bangun Sistem Pendingin Air Nutrisi Berbasis Peltier untuk Optimasi Pertumbuhan Tanaman Hidroponik
High ambient temperatures inside tropical greenhouses can significantly raise nutrient solution temperatures in vertical hydroponic systems, disrupting nutrient uptake and reducing plant productivity. This study focuses on the design and development of a nutrient cooling system (chiller) using two TEC1-12706 thermoelectric modules (Peltier) arranged in series to enhance heat dissipation performance. The nutrient solution is pumped from the reservoir to the cooling chamber using a 12 V DC pump and recirculated in a closed-loop configuration. The chiller system is fully automated, controlled by two DH48S digital timers operating simultaneously: one activates Peltier 1, while the other controls Peltier 2 via the NC output (5 minutes) and the pump via the NO output (30 seconds), enabling alternating programmed cooling and circulation. The entire chiller unit is active only from 08:00 to 18:00 WITA using a KG316T programmable timer, corresponding to peak thermal stress hours inside the greenhouse. Results showed that despite greenhouse temperatures reaching up to 39.4 °C with relative humidity dropping to 47.6%, the chiller system maintained nutrient solution temperatures within the optimal 27–30 °C range. This design proved effective in reducing and stabilizing nutrient temperature under high heat microclimates. With its simple, automated, and energy-efficient architecture, the chiller system offers a promising solution for small-scale vertical hydroponics and greenhouse-based urban farming in tropical regions
Analisis Kepekaan Terhadap Perubahan Temperatur pada Aspal Modifikasi Polimer
In tropical countries such as Indonesia, high-temperature resistance of asphalt is required to avoid premature damage to road pavement construction. One of the methods to solve this problem is to prepare polymer-modified asphalt. This study aimed to examine the temperature change sensitivity of polymer-modified asphalt using the penetration index value. The polymers used were HDPE, LLDPE, PVC, and styrofoam. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the conventional asphalt 60/70 used in this study did not satisfy the minimum softening point requirement of 48 °C. With the use of polymers, modified asphalt is produced with a higher hardness than unmodified asphalt. Compared to other polymers, LLDPE-modified asphalt has the lowest penetration index value and is the most sensitive to temperature changes, making it more susceptible to permanent deformation. At all the styrofoam concentrations used, the penetration index was negative, while a positive penetration index value was achieved with 3% and 4% PVC. In HDPE-modified asphalt, the use of polymers has a significant impact and produces the highest penetration index. This indicates that HDPE-modified asphalt is more resistant to temperature changes and exhibits better performance under various weather conditions

Crystalline Properties of Jambu (Syzygium aqueum (Burm. f.) Alston) and Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) Seed Starches: An XRD Spectroscopic Study
Starch, a complex carbohydrate found in plants, has become an alternative raw material to make plastics (bioplastics). Bioplastics have been intensively used to replace conventional plastics, which cannot be degraded and thus cause environmental problems. Therefore, starch has been the focus of many studies, where researchers study its properties, such as crystalline properties. These properties influence the properties of starch-based bioplastics: their mechanical strength, water resistance, and degradation rate are affected by the arrangement of starch molecules into crystalline structures. This study aims to characterize crystalline properties of starches of jambu fruit (Syzygium aqueum (Burm. f.) Alston) and jackfruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus). For this purpose, X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy was used. The results show that the starches of jambu and jackfruit fruit seeds belong to different types: B-type starch for jambu and A-type starch for jackfruit. The index of crystallinity of starch of jackfruit seed, 54.0%, is higher than that of starch of jambu fruit seed, 38.1%. Starch of jackfruit seed has higher crystalline properties compared to starch of jambu seed
Tocotrienol Berbasis Nabati dalam Akuakultur: Solusi Inovatif untuk Produktivitas, Kesehatan Ikan, dan Keberlanjutan
Aquaculture plays a pivotal role in global food security but faces challenges such as diseases, oxidative stress, and reliance on unsustainable feed ingredients. Tocotrienol, a plant-based vitamin E isomer, offers an innovative solution with superior antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties compared to α-tocopherol. This review examines the utilization of tocotrienol from natural sources like red palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) and annatto seeds (Bixa orellana)—containing up to 4,135 mg/L δ-tocotrienol—to enhance aquaculture productivity. Empirical studies demonstrate that tocotrienol supplementation in feed improves Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) growth and feed efficiency. Its mechanisms involve NF-κB pathway inhibition, Nrf2-ARE activation, and pparγ gene regulation for lipid metabolism. However, challenges such as thermal degradation during feed extrusion and species-specific responses require formulation strategies like nanoencapsulation or industrial byproducts (PFAD). Through integrated approaches, tocotrienol holds potential as a strategic feed additive to advance sustainable aquaculture by enhancing fish health, product quality, and economic efficiency
