Judul: Isolation of Flavonoid Compounds from Mahogany’s Seed (Swietenia mahagoni Jacq.) Potential as An Antioxidant.
Abstrak: Biji mahoni daun kecil (Swietenia mahagoni Jacq.) mengandung senyawa flavonoid yang memiliki potensi sebagai antioksidan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengisolasi senyawa flavonoid biji mahoni yang memberikan aktivitas antioksidan yang tinggi. Aktivitas antioksidan ditentukan dengan menggunakan metode 1,1-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil. Ekstrak etil asetat biji mahoni difraksionasi dengan menggunakan kromatografi lapis tipis preparatif dengan eluen etil asetatmetanol (1:1) dan menghasilkan 4 fraksi. Ekstrak etil asetat memiliki aktivitas antioksidan dengan nilai konsentrasi hambat 50% (IC50) sebesar 117.73 mg L-1. Fraksi teraktif dari biji mahoni ialah fraksi 3 dengan IC50 sebesar 65.18 mg L-1, tetapi aktivitasnya masih lebih kecil dari butil hidroksitoluena (BHT) sebesar 4.70 mg L-1. Uji kemurnian fraksi 3 menggunakan kromatografi cair kinerja tinggi (KCKT) menghasilkan satu puncak dengan waktu retensi 14.079 menit dan uji golongan flavonoid menunjukkan senyawa flavonol atau flavon. Spektrum inframerah fraksi 3 menunjukkan gugus fungsi OH, C=O, C-O, dan CH alifatik.

Judul: Identifikasi dan Potensi Antioksidan Flavonoid Kulit Kayu Mahoni (Swietenia macrophylla King)
Abstrak: Mahogany bark as wood processing industrial waste has not widely used compared to other parts of mahogany. This research was conducted to identify the flavonoids from mahogany bark and its role as an antioxidant. Antioxidant activity of mahogany bark’s extract was measured by using two methods namely diphenil-1.1-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and tiobarbituric acid (TBA) method. Identification of flavonoids (quersetin) was performed by using HPLC and TLC. Antioxidant activity of flavonoids (quersetin) was measured by using DPPH method.Inhibition activity of mahogany bark’s extract on DPPH method for the extraction of methanol, n-hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, vitamin E (positive control) and water at concentrations of 50 ppm are respectively for 81.33%, 12.74%, 23:40%, 65.54 %, 30.42%, and 68.04%. The inhibition activity of mahogany bark’s extract on TBA methods for methanol fraction 200, 100, 50 ppm was 59.81%, 59.02%, 58.96%. Extraction of water 200, 100, 50 ppm was 54.65%, 49.01%, 43.09%. Vitamin E 200, 100, 50 ppm was 40.91%, 36.48%, 27.15%. Kuersetin content in the sample is 16 mg/100g sample. Inhibition activity of antioxidants on kuersetin as 50, 100, and 200 ppm for 87.2%, 89.1%, 92.8%.

Judul: Performa gerak crankbait berdasarkan sudut diving lip, kecepatan tarik dan panjang tali pancing tonda (Troll Line).
Abstrak: Troll line is one of the traditional fishing gear that used for catch pelagic fish with high economical value. Troll line operation by dragging in the water with constant speed, so fish will attracted to the lure and chase it. One of lure that common used in this methode of fish catching is crankbait type of Artificial bait. Artificial bait is more popular than the natural bait, because this kind of bait have more resistant and easy to control it than using the natural bait, and crankbait type is common used because of it characteristic that when this type of lure being dragging by boat, it will be dive to certai depth. This research is to indentify factors that influence the depth of this lure. The results shows that the angel of diving lip have a big influence to the depth of the lure,with the best angel of diving lip is 10º. Other factor that show big differences of lures depth is the amount of the line. The model of the lure with dragging speed and range and the line can be specified with D = - 0.984 + 0.0601 X1 + 0.852 X2. This result may be vary depend on kind of bluff body of the lure, and other conditions.
