Cymodocea rotundata  merupakan salah satu jenis lamun yang berpotensi sebagai antibakteri. Senyawa bioaktif yang bersifat sebagai antibakteri adalah fenol, flavonoid dan tanin. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan lama inkubasi dan konsentrasi ekstrak lamun C. rotundata yang berbeda terhadap aktivitas antibakteri S. aureus dan E. Coli. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu experimental laboratories dengan menggunakan rancangan dasar penelitian Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan pola faktorial, pola terbagi oleh faktor lama inkubasi bakteri (24 jam, 48 jam dan 72 jam) dan perbedaan konsentrasi ekstrak lamun (5%, 10% dan 15%). Data dianalisis menggunakan SIDIK RAGAM dan dilakukan analisis lanjut Beda Nyata Jujur (BNJ), apabila terdapat perbedaan pada perlakuan. Ekstrak lamun C. rotundata efektif sebagai antibakteri dengan kategori sedang yaitu zona hambat berkisar antara 5-10 mm. Konsentrasi optimum untuk menghambat S.aureus dan E.coli adalah 15% dengan lama inkubasi 48 jam dengan zona hambat yang dihasilkan masing-masing sebesar 6, 123 mm. Dan 5, 833 mm.Cymodocea rotundata is a type of seagrass that has a potential as an antibacterial. Bioactive compounds which act as such as antibacterial phenols, flavonoids and tannins. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different concentration and time of incubation  of seagrass C.rotundata as antibacterial against  S. aureus and E. coli. The method used was experimental laboratories using the basic design of the study completely randomized design (CRD) with factorial pattern (2 factor). The first factor were different concentration (5%, 10% and 15% ) and second factor were time of incubations (24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and conducted a further test Honestly Significant Difference (HSD), if treatment gave significant effect. C. rotundata extracts had antibacterial activity with medium category which inhibition zone ranges from 5-10 mm. The optimum concentration for inhibiting S. aureus and e. coli were 15% with incubation time of 48 hours resulting inhibition zone 6,123 mm and 5,833 respectively.

Cincalok is a typical food from West Kalimantan made from fermented rebon shrimp containing astaxanthin, the most potent antioxidant in nature. This study investigated an efficient method for extracting astaxanthin from the cincalok using vegetable oils as solvents. Olive, sesame, grape seeds, coconut, and virgin coconut oil were used as alternative solvents. The effect of various parameters on extraction yield was also studied. N-hexane and acetone were also used for comparison. Amplitude level and extraction time were the factors investigated concerning extraction yield. Comparative studies between traditional extraction methods and extraction assisted by ultrasonication have also been carried out. The astaxanthin content as total carotenoids in oil extract was analyzed using a UV-vis spectrophotometer with a standard external method. The optimum ultrasound-assisted extraction condition of astaxanthin from cincalok was 40% amplitude for 3  minutes, with 100.62  μg/g of astaxanthin extraction yield when used virgin coconut oil as a solvent. In this way, oils enriched with astaxanthin are produced.

Fikosianin merupakan pigmen biru Spirulina sp. Mikroenkapsulasi dapat melindungi fikosianin dari pengaruh lingkungan seperti suhu, cahaya, dan pH. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik fisik mikrokapsul fikosianin menggunakan maltodekstrin dan karagenan sebagai bahan penyalut. Mikrokapsul fikosianin dibuat dengan lima variasi konsentrasi maltodekstrin dan karagenan yaitu 10% : 0%; 9,75% : 0,25%; 9,5% : 0,5%; 9,25% : 0,75%; dan 9% : 1% (b/b). Hasil menyatakan bahwa mikrokapsul fikosianin dengan perbandingan bahan penyalut maltodekstrin dan karagenan 9% : 1% (b/b) menghasilkan warna yang paling biru, zat padat terlarut yang paling
