Grapes are one of the most widely grown fruit around the world but is not for tropical climates area. However, currently in Malaysia the grapes planting become more popular due to the successful production from the local farmers. Due to this situation, the researchers start to focus on the product development from the grapes. This research is to screen the phytochemical compound of grapes leaves extract from Jupiter variety and their antioxidant and insecticidal activity. The DPPH test method was used to determine the antioxidant level. Folin-Ciocalteau assay and aluminium chloride colorimetric assay were used to assess total phenolic and flavonoid content, respectively. The phytochemical was also screened to determine the compound presented in extract. Then, the extract was tested on the Sitophilus oryzae to examine the insecticidal activity in stored rice. The result showed that extract of has a good potential in order to control Sitophilus oryzae and has a high amount of antioxidant. The various compounds presented in the extract that led to the high insecticidal activity. Thus, this result is very significant to help the rice producer in order to control the beetles in rice storage without reducing the quality of rice.
This study aims to determine the effect of giving coconut water and glycerol to comet fish (Carassius auratus) sperm storage on the motility, viability of comet fish (Carassius auratus) sperm and the degree of fertilization of comet fish eggs. This research was carried out at the Fish Hatchery Laboratory, Faculty of Marine and Fisheries, Universitas Syiah Kuala. This research method used was a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments with five replications, namely (P0) Sperm + 100% NaCl, (P1) Sperm + 50% coconut water + 50% glycerol, (P2) Sperm + 60% coconut water + 40% glycerol, and (P3) Sperm + 70% coconut water + 30% glycerol. The results showed that adding coconut water and glycerol to Storage of comet fish sperm had a significant effect (<0.05) on the value of motility and viability. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the highest values of post-cryopreservation sperm motility and viability in comet fish in this study were found in the P2 treatment with a concentration of 60% d coconut water + 40% glycerol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
