Synthesis And Characterization of Biodegradable Foam (Biofoam) From Taro Starch (Colocasia Aesculenta)-Chitosan
Biodegradable foam can be used as an alternative packaging which is safe for health and environment. The raw material used to produce biofoam is starch. Taro consist of 67.42% starch. Contrarily, biofoam produced from starch has fragile mechanical properties. The addition of chitosan aims to improve the mechanical properties of biodegradable foam. Beside that, Chitosan is expected to reduce water absorption and increase tensile strength of biodegradable foam without reducing degradability. Biodegradable foam was synthesized by three steps, first step was isolation of starch from taro, second step was synthesis of biodegradable foam from taro starch-chitosan which used various concentration of chitosan to study the effect of chitosan addition for mechanical properties of biodegradable foam. Various concentration of chitosan was 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% (w/w). Third step was characterization of biodegradable foam. The Analysis of biodegradable foam was carried out included FTIR functional group, mechanical properties, biodegradability and water absorption. The result showed that the best tensile strength test was 1% chitosan addition with a value of 3.75 MPa; based on water absorption test, the optimum sample was 4% chitosan addition with a value of 11.66%. The results of the functional group analysis of FTIR biodegradable foam contained of C=O (amide), CN, NH and OH groups which indicated the existence of chitosan in the sample
Aktivitas Tabir Surya Secara In-Vitro Ekstrak dan Fraksi Daun Kedondong (Spondias dulcis Sol. Ex G.Forst)
Excessive sun exposure to the skin can cause redness (erythema) and darkening of the skin (pigmentation). This effect can be prevented by using sunscreen. Kedondong leaves (Spondias dulcis Sol. Ex G. Forst) can act as a natural sunscreen because they contain secondary metabolite compounds with a conjugated double bond structure (chromophore), including phenolic and flavonoid compounds. The presence of conjugated double bonds in phenolic and flavonoid compounds is known to be able to absorb UV radiation thereby reducing its intensity on the skin. This study aims to determine the sunscreen activity of kedondong leaves based on the Sun Protection Factor (SPF), , the percentage of erythema transmission value (%Te), and the percentage of pigmentation transmission value (%Tp) and determine the secondary metabolite groups in kedondong leaf extracts and fractions. The research stages carried out were extraction of kedondong leaves by maceration, dechlorophyllation, followed by fractionation using n-hexane and dichloromethane, to obtain methanol extract, n-hexane fraction, dichloromethane fraction and methanol fraction. Then phytochemical tests were carried out on the extracts and fractions. Phytochemical tests showed that the secondary metabolite compounds in the methanol extract of kedondong leaves were alkaloids, phenolics, steroids and saponins. Furthermore, in the n-hexane fraction are steroids, the dichloromethane fraction is phenolic compounds, and the methanol fraction is alkaloid, phenolic and saponin compounds. Using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 200-400 nm, the sunscreen activity test showed that the dichloromethane fraction at a concentration of 120 mg/L was included in the extra protection category with an SPF value of 7,86±0,23; fast tanning with a %Te value of 15,99±0,83 and sunblock with a %Tp value of 32,72±1,09

Efek Pendoping Nd3+ Pada Senyawa BaBi2-xNdxNb2O9 Terhadap Struktur, Sifat Dielektrik Dan Optik
The Aurivillius compound with formula BaBi2-xNdxNb2O9 (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4) has been successfully synthesized using the molten salt method, showing potential as a ferroelectric material. The impact of Nd3+ substitution on the structure, morphology, dielectric, and optical properties has been systematically analyzed. XRD data refinement confirms that BaBi2-xNdxNb2O9 (BBNN) exhibits an orthorhombic structure with an A21am space group. Anisotropic plate-like grains were observed across all samples, decreasing their size as Nd3+ content increases. The ferroelectric transition temperature (Tc) decreases due to structural distortion caused by the reduction of the lone pair 6s2 electron effect of Bi3+ when substituted with Nd3+. Moreover, this structural distortion also contributes to an increase in bandgap energy (Eg). The diffuse ferroelectric phase transition is characterized by a broadened Tc peak induced by Nd3+ substitution due to increased cationic disruption in the bismuth layers. The ferroelectric phase with a lower and broader Tc suggests that the x = 0.4 sample has the potential for electrocaloric applications

Polypeptide Antibiotic Produced by a Thermo-Halophilic Bacterium from Pria Laot Sabang 76 Isolate
Extremophiles are known to produce antibiotics. This study aimed to isolate and purify polypeptide antibiotics from Pria Laot Sabang (PLS) 76, a bacterium isolated from an undersea fumarole. The antibiotic production was done by cultivating PLS 76 in a 2.5% TSB liquid medium and incubated at 70°C, 150 rpm for 112 hours. Ninhydrin assay on the crude supernatant after centrifugation indicated that the PLS 76 produced a polypeptide antibiotic. The supernatant was partitioned using methanol. The antibiotic activity was tested using the Kirby-Bauer method, and the inhibition zone was about 12 mm against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The methanol fraction was purified further by Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography and produced several fractions. Fractions with the same Rf were pooled and subjected to the ninhydrin assay. Fraction A, which gave a positive result after the ninhydrin assay, showed an inhibition zone of only 7 mm against E. coli and S. aureus. The Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (QTOF) Mass Spectrometry data indicated that the antibiotic's structure was similar to Polymyxin B2, an antibiotic of a polypeptide group
