Extract on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in Mouthwash
https://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/74611
<p>Infeksi rongga mulut yang diakibatkan bakteri menjadi perhatian dalam kesehatan masyarakat. Pemanfaatan <em>mouthwash</em> ekstrak daun salam sebagai antibakteri mampu menekan pertumbuhan bakteri, sehingga kesehatan rongga mulut terjaga. Daun salam diekstrak menggunakan metode maserasi dengan beberapa jenis pelarut seperti etanol 96%, etil asetat, n-heksana dan kloroform dengan nilai rendemen sebesar 4,6%, 4%, <br>3,6%, dan 3,8%. Ekstrak akan melalui uji fitokimia, identifikasi menggunakan FTIR dan GC-MS serta uji antibakteri terhadap bakteri <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> dan <em>Escherichia coli</em> untuk mendapatkan ekstrak daun salam terbaik. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dengan GC-MS, pelarut etanol 96% mampu mengekstrak 21 senyawa metabolit sekunder, sedangkan pada pelarut lain hanya mampu mengekstrak 16 senyawa. Hasil uji antibakteri menunjukkan diameter zona hambat ekstrak pelarut etanol 96% dan etil asetat terhadap bakteri <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> sebesar 12 mm, sedangkan pada bakteri <em>Escherichia coli</em> tidak muncul diameter zona hambat. Ekstrak daun salam pelarut etanol 96% dipilih sebagai bahan aktif pada sediaan <em>mouthwash </em>karena terkandung senyawa aktif antibakteri dari golongan alkaloid dan terpenoid. Hasil uji antibakteri terhadap sediaan <em>mouthwash</em> ekstrak daun salam diperoleh diameter zona hambat terhadap bakteri <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> sebesar 2 mm, sedangkan pada <em>Escherichia coli</em> tidak membentuk zona hambat. Hal ini disebabkan oleh penggunaan konsentrasi ekstrak daun salam yang rendah saat formulasi sediaan <em>mouthwash</em>.</p>Elisabeth Carolina PangestuSamuel Budi Wardhana Kusuma

https://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/72750
<p>Kebutuhan energi yang semakin meningkat menuntut penemuan energi baru dan terbarukan, salah satunya adalah biodiesel dari minyak tanaman atau lemak hewan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan biodiesel alternatif dari minyak jelantah melalui reaksi transesterifikasi menggunakan katalis CaO modifikasi. Proses preparasi katalis CaO dari batu kapur melibatkan kalsinasi pada suhu 700°C, 800°C, dan 900°C. Katalis CaO superbasa diperoleh dengan perendaman dalam larutan amonium karbonat dan dipanaskan kembali pada suhu 900°C. Penelitian ini mencakup uji coba dengan variasi waktu dan suhu reaksi untuk memahami peran katalis dalam proses pembuatan biodiesel. Hasil analisis XRD menunjukkan bahwa katalis yang dikalsinasi pada suhu 900°C selama 4 jam memberikan hasil paling optimal, dengan intensitas 1656,88 yang mengindikasikan dominasi senyawa CaO. Penggunaan katalis CaO superbasa menghasilkan biodiesel dengan konversi mencapai 99,9% dan kadar ester mencapai 98,82%-99,07%. Biodiesel yang dihasilkan memenuhi standar SNI untuk densitas dan titik nyala, namun viskositas masih berada di bawah standar. Analisis kinetika reaksi transesterifikasi menunjukkan bahwa efisiensi reaksi dipengaruhi oleh penggunaan katalis CaO modifikasi. Prosedur percobaan juga meliputi penentuan kandungan asam lemak bebas pada minyak jelantah, yang berhasil memenuhi standar industri dengan FFA maksimal 1%. Selain itu, yield biodiesel dipengaruhi oleh perbandingan mol minyak terhadap metanol dan konsentrasi katalis.</p>Sintia MuharaniMustain ZamhariErwana Dewi

https://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/ijcs/article/view/72446
<p>The development of nanoparticle-based technology is currently of particular concern to scientists. This is because nanoparticles have many benefits in the health, industrial and food fields. The use of gold and silver metal-based nanoparticles has begun to be widely studied, but copper metal is still rarely developed. The manufacture of copper nanoparticles is carried out by synthesis using bioreductors derived from plants. Aquades extract of mangosteen rind (Garnicia mangostana L.) can be used as a bioreductor because it contains secondary metabolites that can reduce Cu ions during the synthesis process. This study aims to identify the secondary metabolites contained in mangosteen peel extract (Garnicia mangostana L.) and evaluate their potential as bioreductors through analysis using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Phytochemical test results of mangosteen peel extract (Garnicia mangostana L.) showed positive results for flavonoids, saponins, phenolics, triterpenoids, and alkaloids. Alkaloid and phenolic compounds play a role in the reduction process of Cu ions so that they can be used as bioreductors. The results of the UV-Vis measurements showed a 1:1 ratio of extract and precursor; 1:2 ; 1:3 and 1:4 have a peak wavelength of 278 nm, where copper nanoparticles can form at a wavelength of 200-800 nm. At a ratio of 1:1 has the highest absorbance, namely 0.394. So that a 1:1 ratio has the potential to form CuNPs.</p>Gladys JavaniSuyatno Sutoyo
