Electronic cigarettes generate toxic aldehyde compounds through the thermal decomposition of primary e-liquid constituents, namely propylene glycol and glycerol, yet standardized analytical methodologies for their determination remain critically fragmented across research institutions worldwide. This study conducted a systematic literature review adhering to the PRISMA 2020 protocol, encompassing 15 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science covering the period 2016 to 2024, specifically examining GC-MS-based methods for aldehyde determination in e-liquid matrices. Comparative synthesis demonstrated that headspace GC-MS incorporating isotopic internal standards constitutes the most robust analytical approach, consistently achieving linearity coefficients exceeding R²>0.990 without the requirement for chemical derivatization. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein were recurrently identified as predominant aldehydes, with emission intensities exhibiting strong positive correlation with device operational parameters including voltage and heating power. Detection of formaldehyde-hemiacetal revealed substantial underestimation inherent to conventional measurement approaches regarding total aldehyde exposure. Pronounced methodological fragmentation across laboratories and the absence of matrix-specific certified reference materials represent principal barriers to global interlaboratory data harmonization. Standardization of reference methods through international interlaboratory collaboration is critically recommended to ensure robust and effective safety surveillance of electronic cigarette products.

Background: Honey's antibacterial and other therapeutic qualities have long been recognized because of its bioactive components, which include hydrogen peroxide, flavonoids, and phenolics. Randu honey is a monofloral honey that is made from the nectar of Ceiba pentandra and has the ability to suppress Gram-positive as well as Gram-negative bacteria. Because antibiotic resistance is on the rise, it is crucial to investigate alternative treatments like honey. Method: This study evaluates the antibacterial activity of randu honey using the agar well diffusion method or Kirby-Bauer diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to determine its Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by preparing a series of honey dilutions ranging from 100% to 10% (w/v) then incubating in an incubator at a temperature of 37°C for 24 hours to allow interaction between the test solutions and bacteria on the agar media, followed by measuring the inhibition zones formed using a caliper. Results: The antibacterial activity of randu honey increased with concentration. Staphylococcus aureus showed the highest sensitivity with an inhibition zone of 9.02 ± 0.67 mm at 100%, classified as moderate at 70%–100% concentrations (MIC 20%). Escherichia coli exhibited lower sensitivity, with inhibition zones ranging from 7.07 ± 0.56 mm at 100% to 0.18 ± 0.01 mm at 30%, categorized as moderate at 80%–100% (MIC 30%). For Pseudomonas aeruginosa, moderate activity was observed at 80%–100%, with inhibition zones up to 8.16 ± 0.13 mm at 100% (MIC 30%). Conclusion: Randu honey shows promising antibacterial activity, especially against Staphylococcus aureus, with concentration-dependent effects. Its moderate activity at higher concentrations highlights its potential as a natural antibacterial agent.
Background: The community has empirically employed butterfly pea flower, one of the species, extensively as a traditional beverage with pharmacological benefits. The flavonoid content of these plants, particularly the anthocyanins, is assumed to be the source of the pharmacological effects. The content of the extract to be obtained will be impacted by the variation in solvent polarity. In this investigation, the butterfly pea flowers will be extracted utilizing the solvents of water and Ethanol. Objective: The goal of this study was to qualitatively assess the content of butterfly pea petal extract in water and ethanol solvents using phytochemical screening and FTIR analysis, followed by testing for antioxidant activity using three different methods, including ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP. Method: The extraction with water and ethanol solvents, phytochemical screening tests, antioxidant activity testing with DPPH assay, antioxidant capacity testing with ABTS, and quantitative FRAP assays utilizing UV-Vis spectrophotometry are all steps of this study.

Using the FRAP assay, the antioxidant capacity of water extract and ethanol extract from butterfly pea flowers was tested, and the results were 52.8957 0.0881mgQE/g extract and 32.0051 0.0441mgQE/g extract, respectively. The antioxidant capacity test of the butterfly pea flower's ethanol and water extracts was performed using the ABTS assay, and the results were 71,497 3.29mgQE/g extract and 114,195 0.279mgQE/g extract, respectively. Conclusion: The water dan ethanol extract of butterfly pea flowers differs from one another in terms of antioxidant activity and phytochemical composition.
Background: Vitamin D3 plays a role in immunity, especially in the body's regulation of the inflammatory response. The limitations of vitamin D3 are poor bioavailability and water-insoluble. Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) can increase the solubility of water-insoluble active ingredients. Objective: To develop NLC as a delivery agent of vitamin D3 for topical application. Method: NLC was created using a high-shear homogenisation method with various lipid ratios. NLC uses solid lipids (Monostearin) and liquid lipids (Miglyol 812) with variations in the ratios of F1 (7:3), F2 (8:2) and F3 (9:1). NLC is expected to be able to protect the active ingredients in the lipid matrix so that the stability of the active ingredients increases. Characterisation was performed in organoleptic, pH, particle size, viscosity, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. Result: Vitamin D3 NLC system had good characteristics: pH suitable for topical use, particle size < 600nm, PI < 0.5, Zeta potential -26.80 to -33.76. F1 resulted in the highest entrapment efficiency of 82.18%. Conclusion: Vitamin D3 NLC systems with different lipid concentration ratios affect the physical and chemical characteristics. Increasing the liquid lipid content in the Vit D3 NLC system can reduce particle size and viscosity and increase entrapment efficiency.
Identifying the concentration of alcohol compounds in postmortem analysis of biological fluids can help the investigation, just as postmortem analysis of gastric juices can reveal the concentrations of alcohol consumed. However, an efficient and effective combination of extraction and measurement methods is required when looking at complex postmortem samples. Therefore, a headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method was developed using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) to identify postmortem alcohol concentrations. This present study optimizes and validates an effective and efficient method for postmortem alcohol extraction and quantification in gastric fluid. The optimal conditions for HS-SPME extraction using 65μm Polydimethy lsiloxane Divinyl benzene (PDMS/DVB) fiber for analyte isolation were 15 minutes. at 60°C and an exposure time of 1 minute. The validation investigation shows that the suggested approach satisfies the criteria for linearity, precision, accuracy, LOD, and LOQ for postmortem measurement of alcohol in gastric fluid.
Lime (Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle) is one of the important agricultural commodities for residents in the Bolo village, Gresik. The resident of Bolo Village owns an average of 1/4 hectare of lime plantations. However, the price of lime is not stable. In the harvest season, when conditions become surplus in the market, lime prices often drop, causing losses for the farmers. Lack of knowledge about lime product processing is also an obstacle in the utilization and processing of crops. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of citrus farmers in Bolo Village to utilize and process lime crops into Home Industry products, so they do not suffer losses when the lime price drops. Activities are carried out through learning using interactive lecture methods and training through product manufacturing demos. The successful indicator was carried out by evaluating the participants' level of understanding before and after the activity. The training activities significantly increased the participants' knowledge and experience. In addition, this activity also obtained data on the needs of lime farmers. It is hoped that this data can be used for the continuation of the next activity or can also be used by the local government, which wants to help advance agriculture and product diversification in the village of Bolo.
This review article aims to develop nanotechnology in novel drug delivery systems using self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS). This Article was selected using a database with Prism Guideline diagrams. A total of 18 articles obtained from 2010-2020 were used as the primary reference to be analyzed using a systematic review method in the form of meta-synthesis. This review describes the mechanism of SNEDDS in increasing absorption, the components of the SNEDDS formula, the characterization of self-nano emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), the effect of the physicochemical properties of SNEDDS on in vivo activity, and the basis for selecting compounds in the SNEDDS formulation. Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) is a novel drug delivery system from nanoemulsion used to increase the solubility of lipophilic drugs. SNEDDS is an isotropic mixture consisting of oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant. SNEDDS is considered pre-concentrated nanoemulsions or anhydrous forms of nanoemulsions. In SNEDDS, the formation of nanoemulsions occurs when self-nanoemulsions come into contact with gastrointestinal fluids in the presence of light stirring in the peristaltic motion of the gastrointestinal tract. In general, SNEDDS have small particle sizes in the range of 10-200 nm. The application of the self nanoemulsion development system can be used for BCS Class II lipophilic drug compounds and BCS Class IV drugs. SNEDDS is a novel drug delivery system that can be used for oral drug delivery. In occlusion, a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) is a new approach for the formulation of drug molecules with poor water solubility. Self Nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) is an isotropic mixture of oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant.
A simple isocratic reversed-phase HPLC method was developed and validated for the determination of p-aminophenol, the major degradation impurity of paracetamol, in pharmaceutical syrups. The analytes were separated on a RP-18 LiChrospher® column (250 mm x 4.00 mm i.d., 5 μm particle size). A mobile phase of MeOH and 0.01M phosphate buffer pH 4.07 (26:74 v/v) at flow rate of 1 ml/min, with oven temperature set at 30°C was suitable for the separation and determination of p-aminophenol in simulation paracetamol syrups. The UV detection was carried out at 275.8 nm. The chromatographic parameters such as retention times, capacity factor, tailing factor, number of theoretical plates, %RSD of peak area and resolution factors were determined. The developed method was found to be linear over concentration ranges of 1.01 – 6.06 μg/ml for p-aminophenol (r2 = 0.9996, Vxo = 1.48%). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for p-aminophenol were 0.18 μg/ml and 0.54 μg/ml, respectively. Validation acceptance criteria were met in all cases. Then the developed method was successfully applied to determine p-aminophenol in three generic paracetamol syrups in Indonesia, resulting that p-aminofenol were not detected in sample.
Background: Fucoidan is sulfated polysaccharide that has gastroprotector activity, and it is distributed in brown algae cell walls. Currently, there is no method for fucoidan analysis in compendia. Furthermore, analysis of Fucoidan is proven to be challenging due to the lack of chromophores and its high polarity. Objective: To develop the optimal condition of TLC-Densitometry method for fucoidan analysis in Sargassum sp. aqueous extract and to evaluate the stability of Fucoidan as a preliminary study. Methods: Chromatography was performed on Silica gel 60F254 TLC-plate as a stationary phase. The developed plate was stained with H2SO4 10% in absolute ethanol and heated in oven at 105°C for 15 minutes. Optimization is carried out by determining composition of the mobile phase, analytical wavelength, and spotting volume. Stability test of Fucoidan in standard and extract solution at 0, 4, 8, and 24 hours also 0 and 60 minutes after derivatization. Results: The optimal condition which produces a good separation of Fucoidan was achieved by using n-butanol:methanol: water (10:6:10 v/v/v) as a mobile phase, 400 nm as an analytical wavelength, and 1 µl as a spotting volume. Fucoidan was stable after storage until 24 hours. The stained spots were stable until 60 minutes after derivatization. Conclusion: Optimal condition of the TLC-Densitometry method for Fucoidan analysis was selective and can be applied to stability tests in preliminary study. Fucoidan was stable in standard solution and extracted solution until 24 hours after storage at 4°C, and the stained spots were stable until 60 minutes after derivatization.
Edible films are environmentally biodegradable materials used for food packaging. The edible green alga Caulerpa racemosa has antimicrobial properties; however, its chlorophyll-based bioactive compounds can be damaged when heated so it is prepared in microcapsules. Our research evaluated the effect of Caulerpa microcapsules on an alginate-based edible film on film properties and food spoilage. The microcapsules were used at concentrations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. The edible film was measured for film properties, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (DPPH), functional group (FTIR) and microstructure (SEM). Food spoilage was evaluated on a popular fish-based product (fish bubble snacks). Bacterial strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were used to evaluate antimicrobial effectiveness of the edible films. The addition of Caulerpa microcapsules had no significant negative effect on physical properties of the alginate-based film, while the smoother and more homogenous surface should enhance the barrier properties of the film. The slow and evenly distributed release of active compounds from the microcapsules increased resistance to Rhizopus sp. and significantly reduced the proliferation of E. coli but not S. aureus on coated fish snacks. Caulerpa racemosa can be used to enhance the effectiveness of alginate-based films in delaying spoilage and could extend product shelf-life

Results: The best separation that produces symmetrical peaks of herbal medicine was achieved under isocratic conditions using the composition of the mobile phase chloroform : acetone: dichloromethane : acetonitrile : formic acid (6 : 2: 2 : 0,05 : 0.05 v/v/v/v/ v) with a wavelength of 335 nm with a saturation time of 30 minutes. Conclusion: In this study, the optimal conditions for the analysis of luteolin, quercetin, apigenin, and sinensetin. Luteolin, quercetin, apigenin, and sinensetin are unstable during 8 hours of storage. Therefore, standard solutions and samples must be made fresh to maintain stability.
Euglena sp. is a freshwater microalga that produces useful metabolites in its biomass. The cultivation with oxidative stress treatments, such as salinity, plays a major role in maintaining the optimal cellular metabolic rate for the optimized growth of Euglena sp. for the production of lipids for biodiesel as well as carotenoids and chlorophyll, which are cell defense pigments that are beneficial for health. A bioflocculation method that uses microalgal flocculants, such as Skeletonema sp., is an alternative harvesting technique that is cost and energy saving. The effect of salinity and bioflocculation treatment on freshwater microalgae has not been widely studied. Therefore, this research determined the effect mechanism of salinity and bioflocculation in the production of lipids, chlorophyll, and carotenoids in Euglena sp. with Skeletonema sp. as a bioflocculant. In this research, the cultivation of Euglena sp. was carried out in Cramer–Myers medium for seven days under salinity treatments of 5, 10, 20, and 0 g/L, and the cultivation of Skeletonema sp. was performed for eight days in F/2 medium with modified silicate removal. Bioflocculation was performed by mixing Euglena sp. and Skeletonema sp. at ratios of 1:1, 1:0.5, and 1:0.25. The research results showed that salinity treatment, in general, succeeded in increasing the growth and production of lipid, chlorophyll, and carotenoid metabolites. The addition of Skeletonema sp. to the culture of Euglena sp. increased the precipitation percentage. A high mixing ratio increased the lipid level but decreased those of chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolites.
Co-Amoxiclav tablets are coated tablets.The tablet coating process requires an organic solvent in the sealing stage.Several processes are carried out to remove organic solvents in the finished drug product, such as heating and pressure reduction, which still leaves organic solvents in the finished drug preparation.The purpose of this study was to optimize the solid phase microextraction method-gas chromatography for the analysis of organic solvent residues in co-amoxiclav tablets and the determination of the residual solvent content.The extraction method used was the headspace-SPME method, sample extraction by heating so that the solvent residue evaporated and absorbed by the PDMS-DVB (Polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene) fiber.The extraction process was carried out by optimizing the temperature and time.The gas chromatography system used was the detector temperature of 250 °C, and the injected port temperature was 210 °C.The oven temperature was programmed, ranging from 38 °C to 210 °C with a temperature increase of 10 °C/min with a holding time of five minutes.The helium carrier gas flow rate was 0.71 mL/min.Analysis of residual solvent was conducted by looking at the retention time and peak area then comparing them with the standard solution.The optimal temperature and time of the extraction using SPME were 50 °C and 30 min.The residue analysis results showed that the co-amoxiclav coated tablets contained 2.88 ± 0.58 ppm dichloromethane residues.
Malaria is one of the most important public health problems worldwide, with nearly half of the global population exposed to the risk of contamination. The disease is found in 91 countries, mostly in the tropics and subtropics of the planet. There are several previous research that identifies Plasmepsins as a potential target to develop novel antimalarial drugs from the malaria parasite Plasmodium that play a role in the breakdown of globin into amino acids. Given the above, it is important to find novel and effective drugs that can decrease this disease, especially from natural products such as medicine. Seaweed is a potential source of bioactive compounds to be used as antimalarials, such as species from the genera Laurencia and Halymenia. This recent study has studied the molecular docking approach to identify the potential of Halymenia sp. and Laurencia sp. against Plasmepsin by using PyRx 0.8 software. It showed that the compounds in Halymenia sp. and Laurencia sp. were able to react and inhibit the action of plasmepsin, seen from the binding affinity value, which was quite small at -4.3, this value is higher than the two bioactive compounds in seaweed, namely Stigmasterol and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde which have binding affinity values of -8.5 and 6.5, respectively. Judging from this, the compounds contained in Laurencia sp and Halymenia sp have potential as candidates for antimalarial drugs.
