“…Oxalidaceae family [11], which is extensively grown in tropical areas. The fruit juice contains more oxalic acid and hence used to eliminate iron-rust colors from clothing and gives brassware, a lustrous sheen [12,13]. Biosoftened coir fibers find use in a variety of industries since it is spinnable and effortlessly combined with other natural fibers [4].…”

Coir fiber, a tough natural lignocellulosic fiber, has widespread uses but are restricted due to its high tensile strength and flexural rigidity. Bioprocessing, particularly softening and bleaching, is a common technique in the coir trade, which currently uses chemical processes that are not environmentally friendly. The current approach targets coir fiberprocessingwith Kozakonia oryzendophytica and Pseudomonas chengduensis isolated from the termite gutfor the delignification followed by the treatment with Averrhoa bilimbi extract to obtain softened and bleached coir fibers. The physical and chemical assessment of the treated fibers, including variations in lignin content, flexural rigidity to assess softness, light fastness, Fourier-Transform InfraRed, and tensile strength, was carried out. The lignin presents in the treated coir fibers dropped significantly from 46% to 31.1%. The flexural rigidity was reduced from 1.12 to 0.53 which caused the upsurge in the degree of softness. The brightness index was increased from 9.45 to 13.49. The scanning electron microscope images show that exterior protrusions on the fiber had been removed after treatment. Thus, the present investigation discovers a trajectory for a biological method of coir fiber softening.

Background: Proteinuria indicates a kidney disorder and provides important prognostic information in diagnosing kidney disease. To determine the presence of protein in the urine, a urinalysis examination is carried out. Proteinuria examination generally uses the heating method with acetic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, and concentrated nitric acid as reagents. In Indonesia, the use of acetic acid for proteinuria examination is still the primary choice. An alternative reagent is needed that can replace the function of acetic acid. The objective of this study is to determine the potential of Averrhoa Blimbi juice as an alternative reagent for proteinuria examination.Methods: This was a Pre-experimental study with a completely randomized design. This study used urine samples from a patient with chronic kidney disease. Urine samples were examined using 6% acetic acid reagent as a control and using Averrhoa bilimbi juice with various concentrations. Each juice concentration was examined twice so that the experimental units in this study were 40 units. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine the potential of Averrhoa bilimbi as an alternative reagent.Results: At concentrations of 5%-20% showed the same positive results as 6% acetic acid, namely +2, concentration 25%-35% resulted in +3, and other concentration resulted in +4. The results of data analysis showed p=0.04 (p<0.05). This shows that Averrhoa bilimbi has the potential as an alternative reagent for proteinuria examination.Conclusion: Averrhoa bilimbi juice with a 5%-20% concentration has the potential as an alternative reagent for 6% acetic acid to check proteinuria levels.Keywords: Averrhoa bilimbi ; alternative reagents; proteinuria; acetic acid; urinalysis
