COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has resulted in a pandemic with 6.8 million confirmed cases in Indonesia as of December 2023. The high number of cases has necessitated the need for robust and specific diagnostic tools. Despite its effectiveness, the qRT-PCR suggested by the World Health Organization has a number of drawbacks, such as expensive costs, the need for trained personnel …
The food technology industry is increasingly interested in innovative ways to include nutritious ingredients that promote health in food products. The leafy green plant that we used as a traditional medicine known as Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica), which is regional to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, has drawn a lot of interest from the food technology sector due to its potential to…
Aquaculture industries are evolving rapidly to meet the escalating global demand for seafood as the human population grows. Enhancing the nutritional quality of feed for aquatic animals, such as fish larvae, is critical for increasing seafood production sustainably. Live feed, particularly copepods (crustacean zooplankton), has emerged as a preferred alternative to conventional synthetic fee…
Sacha Inchi is a plant which is best known for its medicinal properties and a food source. However the husk and the shell usually ended up as waste. As a result, this research aims to valorize the Sacha Inchi Waste as feed to grow Black Soldier Fly Larvae. In this experiment, 100 Black Soldier Fly Larvae were hatched in a container and after 5 days, feed made of press cake waste of Sacha In…
Antimicrobial resistance is a threat that can be combated by discovering new antimicrobials. Previous screening attempts by Badan Riset dan Inovasi Negara (BRIN)/ national research and innovation agency resulted in the discovery of a mold specimen with a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Morphological observation of the specimen shows similarity to some species of mold belonging to Asp…

The crisis of antibacterial resistance is an inevitable consequence of the widespread use of antibacterial agents in human health-related settings and agriculture. One of the oldest strategies to combat this crisis is to screen for novel antibacterial drug classes or structures, leading to the discovery of numerous antibacterial compounds, many of which are isolated from actinomyces/ Streptomyc…
Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) has persistently been a global health concern, infecting 39 million people around the world with 1.3 million cases increment in 2020, leading to severe immunodeficiency (UNAIDS, 2023). While mammalian genomes show evidence of repeated infection with retroviral pathogens, this co-evolution has resulted in the emergence of defense mechanisms that pre…
The increase in global seafood demand significantly affects marine ecosystems and results in limited seafood commodities or even reduced quality as the global human population increases. Aquaculture development has the potential to meet global demand by obtaining seafood commodities in a more sustainable approach. The firm focused on raising post-larvae Litopenaeus vannamei to a fully matur…
Overusing coal for Indonesian power plants has increased air pollutants yearly. Sustainable renewable energy is needed; however, most green energies are geographically restricted and expensive. Hydrogen gas has a high specific energy; thus, it can release more energy. Also, hydrogen combustion produces water vapor, making it a clean energy source. Nonetheless, mechanical hydrogen synthesis …
A whole-grains diet is found to lower blood glucose and other factors that contribute to the increment of the blood glucose levels. Brown rice as a group of whole grains was noted as to have a blood glucose reducing effect that may decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), yet its lack in the sensory acceptability were mentioned by some literatures to be the drawback.
