Sea urchins can be used in medicine, has potential as a new type of antibiotic to developed in the pharmaceutical field, which is rich in bioactive compounds as a steroid, triterpenoids, saponins, and antioxidant properties. Conventional extraction generally takes a long time, is less environmentally friendly, and potentially triggers bioactive compound damage, so it needs alternative methods such as Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE). The extracting technology, including ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and solvent variation (ethyl acetate and methanol) of bioactive compounds from sea urchin (Diadema setosum) were optimized and compared. The purpose of this study was to study the application of UAE and solvent variation methods for sea urchin extraction from the Barrang Lompo Island in South Sulawesi. Comparing the maceration and ultrasonic assisted extraction methods. Optimization of extraction with UAE was carried out on the variable of extraction duration and type of solvent. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry results show that ultrasound-assisted extraction generally produces compounds of CHOLEST-5-EN-3-OL (3. BETA.), palmitic acid, 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z) -, methyl ester, stearic acid, oleic acid, flavonoids, phenols, pentadecanoic acid and batilol and streoid, which has a function as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-cancer agents and antibacterial. The results showed the best results using ultrasound-assisted extraction with a duration of 30 minutes and using solvent ethyl acetate. These results implied that extracts obtained by sonication showed the highest bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity, thus proving that this activity depends directly on the antibacterial properties.

Marine invertebrates in support of his life's defence of sea predatory use an innate immune mechanism, namely the cellular component hemocytes by secreting the dissolved antimicrobial and cytotoxic substances. It shows that marine invertebrates are potential sources and promising antimicrobial compounds. This research was aimed at determining the antibacterial activity of sea urchin (Diadema setosum) extract against some bacterial isolates and its application to foodstuffs. The gonad and shell of sea urchin extracted by methanol and ethyl acetate and then separated by ultrasound-assisted extraction. Screening of antibacterial compound use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and disc diffusion method was followed to determine the antimicrobial activity against Salmonella, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of this study showed antibacterial activity against one or more strains. The gonad of sea urchin from methanol extract exhibited significant inhibitory effect and effective against Salmonella, E. coli and S. aureus. Majority of gonad and shell of sea urchin extract showed antibacterial activity against the tested strains. However, gonad of methanol extract was found to be inhibiting microorganisms gram-negative (E. coli) and gram-positive (Salmonella and S. aureus). Gonad extract can be a good source of antibacterial agents.

Mango seed kernel oil (MSKO) contains a high concentration of polyphenol and potential as raw materials of food products oil-based and as a natural antioxidant of functional food. Ethanol was used to the extraction of MSKO by response surface methodology (RSM) as a tool to study the optimum extraction conditions of the oil yield and total polyphenol content (TPC). Three-factor-three-level Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed to optimize extraction time (X1), the ethanol concentration (X2), and the ethanol volume (X3) to obtain a high oil yield and TPC. The central points for treatment were 5 h for X1, 86% for X2, and 250 mL for X3. The results showed that the optimum conditions of MSKO extraction were X1=5.18 h, X2=87.84%, and X3=233.43 mL, respectively. Under these conditions, the experimental oil yield and TPC of MSKO were 34.79% and 61.17 mgGAE/g, which was agreed closely to the verification value. The results indicated that MSKO extraction using ethanol could be an effective and advisable method for the large scale production of MSKO extraction.
