Elimination of Chloramphenicol by Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Chloramphenicol (CAP) has been illegally used in many shrimp farms in South East Asia, including Indonesia. We performed an experiment of elimination simulation of CAP in tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). After 5 days of depuration process, the concentration of CAP in P. monodon decreased to 94.85% (muscle), 97.98% (cephalothoraxes), and 90.30% (exoskeleton). The elimination half-life of CAP in P monodon was 0.596 day in the muscle, 0.716 day in cephalothorax, and 0.437 day in exoskeleton. On the other hand, concentrations of CAP in L. vannameidecreased to 97.74% (muscle), 90.30% (cephalothoraxes), and 97.63% (exoskeleton). The elimination half-life of CAP in L. vannamei was 0.6624 day (muscle), 0.859 day (cephalothorax), and 0.796 day (exoskeleton). CAP was retained better by P. monodoncompared to L. vannamei

ENCAPSULATION OF PARTIALLY PURIFIED BROMELAIN FROM PINEAPPLE CORES IN ALGINATE-PECTIN BEADS AS A TARGETED ANTIPLATELET AGENT

Objective: Oral administration of bromelain can decrease its bioactivity once it makes contact with stomach acid. Therefore, bromelain was loaded into alginate (Alg), pectin (Pec), and alginate-pectin (AP) beads to control its release into the intestines and avoid degradation. Methods: Crude bromelain was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and the dialysis process. In vitro releases and kinetics studies of bromelain-loaded alginate-pectin beads were carried out using an acid and phosphate buffer medium. The beads were characterized using physical analysis, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Results: The dialysis fraction of bromelain has a specific activity of 67.93 U/mg, 3.05 times that of crude bromelain. That fraction was encapsulated in Alg, Pec, and AP beads with a range of encapsulation efficiency around 82.70–91.39%. Bromelain-loaded pectin and AP19 beads were chosen to study in an in vitro release based on their swelling properties and encapsulation efficiency. Bromelain-loaded AP19 beads have lower release than bromelain-loaded pectin beads in both dissolution mediums. The cumulative releases of AP19 are 9.99 and 87.81% in 0.1 N HCl and phosphate buffer medium, respectively. Bromelain-loaded P and AP beads both follow the zero-order kinetics model and the dissolution mechanism of the beads is non-Fickian with a combination of diffusion and erosion. The in vitro antiplatelet activity of dissolution aliquots (20.51 and 18.48%) is lower than its dialysis fraction (56.04%). Conclusion: This in vitro research data shows promising potency for AP as a carrier for oral administration of bromelain as an antiplatelet agent

Chemical Constituent and Antimalarial Activity based on Inhibition of Heme Polymerization from Water Extract of Yellow Root (Arcangelisia flava L. Merr)

In developing countries, malaria remains a disease that can spread easily and caused death. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium sp involving female anopheles masquitos during its transmission. Arcangelisia flava L. Merr has been investigated earlier that it can inhibited P. falciparum growth. Method of antimalarial activity based on inhibition of heme polymerization can confirm one of the mechanism of antimalarial drugs. The aim of this research to study further antimalarial activity and IC50 based on inhibition of heme polymerization and determine the chemical constituent from water extract of A. flava L. Merr. This research was conducted through several steps, namely 1) water extraction, 2) column chromatography (SiO2 ; (i) CH2Cl2-MeOH=10:1~1:1 (ii) n-hexane: EA=1:1; CH2Cl2-MeOH=10:1~1:1), 3) antimalarial assay, 4) identification of chemical constituent using FTIR and GC-MS. Results of this research are water extract of A. flava L. Merr has IC50 601 ppm and identification of chemical constituent using FTIR and GC-MS was assumed as stigmastan.In developing countries, malaria remains a disease that can spread easily and caused death.

THE EVALUATION OF ACTIVITY AND STABILITY OF ISOLATED BROMELAIN FROM PINEAPPLE CORES (ANANAS COMOSUS [L.] MERR) AND IN VITRO PENETRATION TEST OF NANOEMULSION TOPICAL BASE

Objective: Oral administration of bromelain as an anti-inflammation therapy still faces several challenges, such as the risk of contact with the gastric fluid and its low absorption rate. Therefore, bromelain isolated from the pineapple core will be formulated as a topical base in a nanoemulsion to increase its stability, activity, and ability to penetrate the skin. Methods: Bromelain was isolated from pineapple core using ammonium sulfate precipitation and dialysis, and then the isolated fraction was loaded into topical nanoemulsion for subsequent evaluation of its characteristics, stability, enzymatic activity, and for in vitro study of penetration using Franz diffusion cell. Results: The highest specific activity of bromelain fractions found in ammonium sulfate concentration is around 20–50%. After being dialyzed, the bromelain fraction showed an increase in specific activity 2.78-fold as compared to crude extract. The characteristics of bromelain nanoemulsion showed a globule size of 21.37±1.8 nm with a polydispersity index (pdI) 0.323±0.049, oil in water (o/w) type, and the type of rheology was plastic flow. The nanoemulsion stability base was observed, and there was no phase separation after centrifugation. Bromelain in nanoemulsion base showed a proteolytic activity of 5.00 U/ml with a protein content of 154.28 mg/l. In vitro penetration studies using Franz diffusion cell for 8 h showed isolated bromelain in nanoemulsion base has a total cumulative number value of 1386.94 μg/cm2 with penetrated velocity/flux (J) of 45.93 μg/cm2 h. Conclusion: The results showed promise for bromelain loaded into nanoemulsion as a vehicle for topically administered therapeutic enzymes

Enzymatic Synthesis of Sucrose Polyester as Food Emulsifier Compound

Sucrose polyester (SPE) is a carbohydrate ester compound that has diverse functions, from surfactant to low-calorie food products. Sucrose fatty acid ester with the degree of substitution 1-3 can be used as emulsifier in foods and cosmetics. The enzymatic synthesis of sucrose polyesters can be carried out using lipase in organic solvent and contain small amount of water. In these studies sucrose esters were synthesized by esterification reaction between sucrose with fatty acids from coconut and palm oil using Candida rugosa lipase in n-hexane. Optimization esterification reaction carried out for parameters of incubation time, temperature, and the ratio of the substrate. The optimum incubation time is at 18 hours for coconut oil and 12 hours palm oil, the optimum temperature is 30 oC for coconut and palm oil, and the mole ratio of fatty acid to sucrose is 40:1 for coconut oil and 64:1 for palm oil. Esterification products were characterized by FT-IR. The FT-IR spectrum showed the ester bond was formed as indicated by the wave number 1739.79/cm. Esterification products have 2 substitution degrees. Keywords: coconut oil, lipase, palm oil, substitution degree, sucrose, sucrose polyester&nbsp
