Density functional theory (DFT) have been used to examine the electronic and optical, properties of two-dimensional (2D) indium selenide (InSe) nanosheet. Our calculations indicate that the energy band gap of InSe is indirect and equal to 1.53 eV. It can be seen that for the pristine case, the majority and minority density of state (DOS) are fully symmetric. The optical properties are considered up to 36 eV. Our results established that the absorption starts in the visible region, while the peaks in the ultraviolet region. The refractive index value is 1.84 at zero photon energy limit and increase to 2.31. The high refractive index allows this nanosheet to be utilized as an internal layer coating between the substrate and the ultraviolet absorbing layer. Additionally, we observed that the gained optical properties of InSe nanosheet are in the ultraviolet range and the results are significant. It is expected that from these calculations to provide useful information for further experimental investigations of InSe nanosheet.

Spices, in the form of oleoresin, have advantages as a flavoring agent. Nutmeg oleoresin compounds that play an important role in the formation of nutmeg flavor are myristicin, elemicin, and safrole. These compounds are not stable, so that the quality of oleoresin decreased easily. An alternative to overcome this problem is the encapsulation of oleoresin using spray drying techniques. The objective of this research was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of oleoresin with respect to the degradation of myristicin, elemicin, and safrole of nutmeg oleoresin. Microencapsulated nutmeg oleoresin was prepared using 12% WPC and 88% maltodextrin as encapsulate materials. It was stored in dark glass bottles at a various temperature, namely 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C, for 0, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 and 63 days. The content of myristicin, elemicin, and safrole were analysed. The results showed that myristicin, elemicin, and safrole in the encapsulated nutmeg oleoresin decreased during the storage until 28 days of storage and then they were relatively stable until 63 days. The activation energy of myristicin, elemicin, and safrole were 2.21 kJ/mol.K, 2.71 kJ/mol.K and 3.22 kJ/mol.K, respectively.

The intent of this study was to utilize distillation timeframes (DT) of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) essential oil (EO) to generate fractions with differential chemical compositions and bioactivity. Ten fractions were captured at the following distillation timeframes: 0.0–0.5, 0.5–1.0, 1.0–2.5, 2.5–5.0, 5.0–10, 10–30, 30–60, 60–90, 90–120, and 120–240 min. In addition, a control EO was collected from a straight 0–240 min non-stop distillation. ANOVA and advanced regression modeling revealed that the produced EO fractions possess substantial variation in the concentration of potentially desired compounds. The concentrations (%) of α-phellandrene, 3-carene, p-cymene, limonene, α-thujene, α-pinene, camphene, sabinene, β-pinene, and myrcene decreased, while the concentrations (%) of α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene, and myristicin increased in later DT fractions. Nutmeg EO showed some antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum D6, but did not exhibit significant antifungal activity. In general, nutmeg seed oil yields increased with an increase of DT. These results may be utilized by industries using nutmeg EO.

The aim of this research was to examine the larvicidal activity of essential oil (EO) extracted from nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) leaves and fruits by steam distillation, and to analyze its chemical compounds. The EO yield of nutmeg leaves and fruits collected from the same tree was 0.66% and 0.30%, respectively. Larvicidal tests with the EO were carried out against Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae). The concentrations of nutmeg EO used for the larvicidal assay were 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 μg/mL. The results showed that fruit oil was more toxic than the leaf oil. LC50 values of leaf and fruit EOs were 133.8 and 110.1 µg/mL, respectively. The chromatogram of GC-MS showed that the chemical components in nutmeg leaf and fruit EOs were dominated by α-pinene, sabinene, β-pinene, delta-3-carene, limonene, β-phellandrene, α-terpinolene, linalool, safrole, croweacin, and myristicin.

Snakes in Mekar Jaya mangrove ecosystem have the potential be ecotourism objects. On the other hand ecotourism activities might reduce the quality of wildlife habitat, including that of the snake. This study aimed to determine the diversity and status of snake species in the mangrove ecosystem of Rawa Mekar Jaya. A transect of 20 x 50 m was made in three stations: rivers (S1), ecotourism route (S2), and dense mangroves (S3). The observation was carried out at low tide and repeated three times with a span of 2 days. Snake data was collected using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method. We revealed 59 snakes in the mangrove area of Rawa Mekar Jaya consisting of 3 species namely Boiga dendrophila, Cerberus rynchops, and Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus. B. dendrophila and C. rhyncops are mangrove specialists. The Shannon Wiener diversity index value (H ') for all observation stations is below one, so it is classified as low. All types of snakes found are not protected and classified as the least concern. C. rynchops is included in the CITES appendix III
