The determination of the nutrient calcium in oil palm leaves has been carried out at the Medan oil palm research center. Determination of the nutrient calcium in oil palm leaves was carried out using the UV-visible spectrophotometric method. The analysis showed that the average calcium content of oil palm leaves was 0.16%. From these results indicate that the calcium content in oil palm leaves is still enaough than the value of critical value palm leaves which the value between 0.17 - 0.19%.

Objective: The aim of the present work was to develop a simple, rapid, accurate and economical UV-visible spectrophotometric method for the determination of hydroquinone (HQ) in its pure form, marketed formulation as well as in the prepared nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) systems and to validate the developed method.Methods: HQ was estimated at UV maxima of 289.6 nm in pH 5.5 phosphate buffer using UV-Visible double beam spectrophotometer. Following the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), the method was validated for various analytical parameters like linearity, precision, and accuracy robustness, ruggedness, limit of detection, quantification limit, and formulation analysis.Results: The obtained results of the analysis were validated statistically. Recovery studies were performed to confirm the accuracy of the proposed method. In the developed method, linearity over the concentration range of 5-40 μg/ml of HQ was observed with the correlation coefficient of 0.998 and found in good agreement with Beer Lambert’s law. The precision (intra-day and inter-day) of the method was found within official RCD limits (RSD<2%).Conclusion: The sensitivity of the method was assessed by determining the limit of detection and limit of quantification. It could be concluded from the results obtained that the purposed method for estimation of HQ in pure form, in the marketed ointment and in the prepared NLC-formulation was simple, rapid, accurate, precise and economical. It can be used successfully in the quality control of pharmaceutical formulations and for the routine laboratory analysis.

Objective: The aim of the present work was to develop and validate a simple UV spectroscopic method for the determination of duloxetine, which is a thiophene derivative and a selective neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor for serotonin, norepinephrine, and to lesser degree dopamine. Methods: The UV Spectrophotometric analysis was performed using Shimadzu UV-1800 and Shimadzu UV-1700 spectrophotometer by using solvent system acetonitrile and water in the ratio of 8:2. Detection was performed at a wavelength of 290 nm. Method validation was carried out according to ICH Q2R1 guidelines by taking the parameters linearity, accuracy, precision, ruggedness, and robustness, LOD and LOQ. Results: The UV Spectrophotometric method was found linear in the range of 10-50 μg/ml. The method was rugged and robust with % relative standard deviation less than 2. The extraction recoveries were found to be higher than 99% in all experimental conditions. Conclusion: Based upon the performance characteristics, the proposed method was found accurate, precise and rapid and suitable for the determination of Duloxetine for routine analysis.

SUMMARYOil palm rachis length was determined on primordia dissected from palms planted at four densities. It started to increase rapidly in leaf–10, that is, about ten leaves younger than the spear leaf in all density treatments. The mean number of leaf primordia at the three higher palm densities was 47.7 compared with 51.5 at the lowest density of 56 palms ha-1. Some of the palms planted at the highest density were thinned to identify the stage at which the amount of light affected the rate of leaf opening. A sudden increment of light accelerated leaf production at both the rapid expansion stage and the preceding slow expansion stage. The greatest acceleration of leaf production began 24 months after thinning, probably because of the effect of the extra light on the rate of leaf initiation. The response of leaf production to thinning may apply to other related cultural practices.Desarrollo de hojas en la palma aceitera (Elaeis guineensis) y determination de la tasa de apertura de las hojas

Plant spacing is a factor influencing the growth of oil palm plants. Plant spacing is done to get an area for plant growth, to avoid a sun and nutrients competition for each oil palm plant, and to make it easier maintenance. This study aimed to see   the growth and production of oil palm at different planting distances. This research was carried out at the Oil Palm smallholder Plantation located in Suko Awinjaya Village, Sekernan District, Muaro Jambi Regeny, 64 kilometers (representing 8×8 m spacing) and 69 kilometers (representing 9×9 m spacing). This research was conducted in March-April 2019. The design of the experiment was carried out as an unformatted trial and the location was porpusively chosen as  there were a uniform plants in that location. Sampling determination of the locations was based on spacing differences e.g.  Planting distance 8 × 8 m (P1), Planting distance 9 × 9 m (P2). The Systemic Sampling method was used in this study. The parameters observed were plant height, stem circumference, weight of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), productivity, light intensity, air temperature, air humidity (%). A measured agronomic each observed parameter was analyzed by Independent t test (significant level of 5%). The result showed that the oil palm plantations with 8x8 m distance planted give a higher growth  and a smaller stem circumference than the 9x9m. While a higher both of Fresh Fruit Bunch Weight and productivity were obtained at a 9x9 m spacing than those at 8x8 m planted distance.

Pengaturan jarak tanam adalah untuk mendapatkan ruang tumbuh bagi pertumbuhan tanaman guna menghindari kompetisi memperebutkan unsur hara dan matahari dari setiap tanaman kelapa sawit, serta mempermudah dalam pemeliharaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pertumbuhan dan produksi kelapa sawit pada jarak tanam yang berbeda. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit Rakyat yang terletak di Desa Suko Awinjaya, Kecamatan Sekernan Kabupaten Muaro Jambi kilometer 64 (mewakili jarak tanam 8×8 m) dan kilometer 69 (mewakili jarak tanamn 9×9 m). Penelitian ini pada bulan Maret – April 2019. Rancangan Percobaan di lakukan dengan tidak terformat, dan lokasi dipilih secara sengaja karena pada lokasi tersebut terdapat tanaman yang diteliti dan seragam. Penentuan lokasi pengambilan sempel berdasarkan perbedaan jarak tanam yaitu: Jarak tanam 8×8 m (P1), Jarak tanam 9×9 m (P2) Pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode Sistemik Sampling. Parameter yang diamati adalah Tinggi tanaman, Lingkar Batang, Berat Tandan Buah Segar (TBS), Produktivitas, Intesitas Cahaya, Suhu Udara, Kelembaban Udara (%), Tindakan Agronomi. Setiap parameter yang diamati dilakukan analisis  Independent t test pada taraf α 5 %.

A simple, rapid, accurate, and less expensive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the quantitation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) levels in canned malt drinks and fruit juice drinks sampled in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana. The quantitation is based on the selective maximum absorption of ultraviolet radiation by 5-HMF at the wavelength (λmax) of 284 nm using acetonitrile : water (50 : 50 v/v) as the solvent system. The method was established to be specific, precise, and accurate over a concentration range of 0.001 mg/ml–0.02 mg/ml. 5-HMF levels in fruit juice samples (A1–A10) were between 0.132 mg/ml and 0.438 mg/ml, and these levels were shown to be comparable (t = 2.200;p=0.0553) to the contents in the canned malt samples (M1–M10) which were between 0.3140 mg/ml and 0.7170 mg/ml. The study failed to show any dependence of 5-HMF levels on the composition of the product as well as the manufacturing process adopted. The length of storage did also not significantly affect the 5-HMF levels in the products.
