The study aims to investigate the physicochemical properties and stability of the dispersion systems containing structured fats as a fatty base. In this work, calf tallow and pumpkin seed oil blends were chemically interesterified at various ratios (9:1, 3:1, 3:2, 3:3, 2:3, and 1:3) to produce structured lipids. Fatty acids composition, polar and nonpolar fraction content, and acid value were determined for the raw fats and interesterified blends. Afterwards, selected blends were applied in emulsion systems. Stability, microstructure, color and texture of emulsions were evaluated. The chemical interesterification had an effect on the modified blends properties, and caused an increase in polar fraction content and acid value, and a decrease in nonpolar fraction content. No effect on the fatty acids composition has been found. The evaluation of the prepared emulsions results allowed us to select two of the most stable and favorable samples—both containing chemically interesterified calf tallow and a pumpkin seed oil blend in a ratio of 1:3 as a fatty base, and xanthan gum or carboxymethylcellulose as a thickener. The obtained dispersions, containing fatty bases with improved physicochemical properties and desirable functionality, can be applied as food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical emulsions.

Rambai laut (Soneratia caseolaris L.) is a type of tree that grows in riverbank swamps or mangrove forests which contains one of the secondary metabolites in the form of phenolic compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the total phenolic content of polar and nonpolar fractions of sea rambai leaves using UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. Research conducted is non-experimental. The stages of the study included the determination of plants, sampling, making samples, making extracts, determining the water content of extracts, fractionation using polar and nonpolar fractions, phytochemical screening test of ethanol extract and fractionation results and determination of total phenolic levels by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results showed that rambai laut leaf in polar fraction had a total phenolic content of 213.49 ± 1.2227 mg GAE / g, which means that in each gram the polar fraction is equivalent to 213.49 mg of gallic acid, whereas in the nonpolar fraction of rambai laut leaves is obtained 55.79 ± 1.0809 mg GAE / g which means that in each gram the nonpolar fraction is equivalent to 55.79 mg of gallic acid. Total phenolic content is greater in the polar fraction.

Nematicidal potential of chloroform root extract of Inula racemosa and its fractions was investigated on egg hatching and mortality of root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Egg masses and second stage juveniles (J2) of M. incognita were exposed to different concentrations (0.1-8.0 mg ml-1) of I. racemosa root extract and its fractions. Observations on egg hatch were recorded on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th day and those of mortality studies were recorded on 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th day, respectively. Significant mortality as well as egg hatch inhibition was observed for all the tested components at 5 %. The root extract was found to be most effective in controlling egg hatching as complete inhibition was observed at 8.0 mg ml-1 concentration on 1stday of treatment and nonpolar fraction was most effective in causing mortality of J2 of M. incognita as 100 % inhibition was observed at 6.0 and 8.0 mg ml-1 concentration on 2nd day of treatment. Maximum inhibition of egg hatching was observed for root extract at 8.0 mg ml-1 concentration and 100 % mortality was observed for root extract as well as nonpolar fraction at the same concentration. The nonpolar fraction was most effective in causing mortality as maximum mortality was observed at 6.0 and 8.0 mg ml-1 concentration throughout the exposure time. Polar fraction was least effective among all the components both in egg hatch inhibition and J2 mortality of M. incognita. Both the activities showed concentrations as well as time dependence. Results show different role of tested components on egg hatching and mortality of root knot nematode. The root extract of I. racemosa and its fractions showed a potential to develop new nematicide.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum(Thunb.) Makino (GpM) has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. Most previous studies have focused primarily on polar fractions of GpM for anticancer activities. In this study, a nonpolar fraction EA1.3A from GpM showed potent growth inhibitory activities against four cancer cell lines with IC50ranging from 31.62 μg/mL to 38.02 μg/mL. Furthermore, EA1.3A also inhibited the growth of breast cancer cell MDA-MB-453 time-dependently, as well as its colony formation ability. EA1.3A induced apoptosis on MDA-MB-453 cells both dose-dependently and time-dependently as analyzed by flow cytometry and verified by western blotting analysis of apoptosis marker cleaved nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (cPARP). Additionally, EA1.3A induced cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. Chemical components analysis of EA1.3A by GC-MS revealed that this nonpolar fraction from GpM contains 10 compounds including four alkaloids, three organic esters, two terpenes, and one catechol substance, and all these compounds have not been reported in GpM. In summary, the nonpolar fraction EA1.3A from GpM inhibited cancer cell growth through induction of apoptosis and regulation of cell cycle progression. Our study shed light on new chemical bases for the anticancer activities of GpM and feasibilities to develop new anticancer agents from this widely used medicinal plant.

This study shows that the three coffee samples, namely Lampung coffee, Medan coffee and Aceh coffee have the main phytochemical content that is identical with alkaloid compounds, tannins, phenol compounds, tannins and flavonoids. The TLC test is used to be able to confirm the origin of the type of coffee against the polar fraction (ethanol) and nonpolar fraction (chloroform). In this study, the results of the chromatogram were identical so that in this study the use of the TLC method could not be used to determine the biomarkers contained in the coffee samples. The antioxidant potential for Lampung Coffee, Medan Coffee and Aceh Coffee is 15.60 ppm, 13.24 ppm and 13.40 ppm. Keywords: antioxidant, coffee, TLC, phytochemical
