Abstract:
Avocado is one of the good plant commodities in Indonesia, avocado production in Indonesia itself is quite abundant and has been widely used for various product processing. This can be seen from the production of avocados in Indonesia in 2021 reaching 660,830 tons, the part consumed from avocados is only the flesh, while the skin and seeds are used as waste. The percentage of avocado seed weight is about 20% of the total weight of the fruit. So to reduce the amount of avocado seed waste, the author conducted an experiment on avocado seeds that had been processed into flour and added them to the product that the author would study, namely choux paste. Meanwhile, the antioxidants found in avocado seeds have potential as natural food additivies for food products. In this study the addition of avocado seeds aims to determine the effect of the addition of taste and public acceptance of choux paste from avocado seed flour. The author chose choux paste in this study because choux products can be combined with various kinds of fillings that have a sweet taste, so they can overcome the bitter taste of avocado seed flour. This study was conducted to analyze the level of preference (taste, aroma, texture and taste) of choux pasta through organoleptic tests. This research is an experimental research with 4 treatments of avocado seed flour, namely control (P0), 20% (P1), 30% (P2) and 50% (P3). The subjects of this study were 40 non-expert panelists and 5 expert panelists. The results of this study indicate that the best formula for avocado seed flour choux paste favored by the second panel is the addition of 20% avocado seed flour. The results of the average value obtained from 4 aspects (color, aroma, taste and texture) are with a total score of 39.8 expert panelists with an average of 3.3 which belongs to the like category. Meanwhile, the total score of non-expert panelists is 41.2 with an average of 3.4 which is included in the like category.

Abstract:
Background: Avocado seed (Persea americana Mill.) which is usually thrown away after avocado fruit consumption, contains active compounds that can lower blood triglyceride level. Utilization of avocado seed as a medication to lower triglyceride has potentials that still needs to be discovered before it can be used as an alternative herbal medicine. Objectives: The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of avocado seed’s particle size variation during extraction on the extract effectiveness in lowering blood triglyceride level. Methods: This is an experimental research which is done on Sprague Dawley rats. The rats are propylthiouracil (PTU) for 14 days to reach hyperlipidemic state. The hyperlipidemic rats are divided into 2 groups of intervention. The first group receives avocado seed extract which was extracted from avocado seeds that had been milled for 15 minutes. The second group receives avocado seed extract which was extracted from avocado seeds that had been milled for 30 minutes. Particle size is determined by the average diameter of 10 random avocado seed particle in each group. The avocado seed particle is extracted using remaceration method. Avocado seed extract is given for 14 days with a daily dose of 250 mg/kgBW. Triglyceride level in the rats’ blood is measured after PTU has been given for 14 days and is measured again after 7 days, and 14 days of avocodo seed extract intervention. Unpaired T-test and Paired T-test are used to analyze the data. Results: The average particle size of avocado seed in the second group avocado seed’s extraction the second group is 13.50 µm. Avocado seed extract lowers blood triglyceride level on hyperlipidemic rats from day 0-7, day 0-14 and day 7-14 in the first group (p<0.05). The findings in the second group are similar (p<0.05), except for day 7-14 (p>0.05). There is no significant difference in the decrease of blood triglyceride level between the first group and the second group (p>0.05). Conclusions: Avocado seed extract can lower the level of blood triglyceride in rats. The variation of avocado seed’s particle size on its extraction has no effect on the decrease of blood triglyceride.

Abstract:
The global concern about the use of eco-friendly and biodegradable materials in tissue staining has borne laudable interest in the use of natural dyes as suitable alternatives to synthetic dyes. Plants like avocados serve as dyeing agents for fabrics, but little is known about their potential as a histological stain. This study focused on investigating the staining properties of the aqueous avocado seed extract on histological sections of the spleen, testis, skin, and pancreas. A total of five fresh avocado seeds were chopped into bits and simmered in water to extract their deep maroon dye. Tissue sections of the spleen, testis, skin, and pancreas of 4 adult Wistar rats aged 12 weeks and weighing 180–250 g were used. They were grouped into four, labeled A to D, with each group containing 4 specimens (1-Spleen, 2-Testis, 3-Skin, and 4-Pancreas). Group A (control) was stained using the Haematoxylin and Eosin technique; group B was stained using Haematoxylin and Avocado seed extract; group C was stained using Avocado seed extract and Eosin, while group D was stained using Avocado seed extract only. Findings revealed blue-black nuclei and pink cytoplasm (group A); blue-black nuclei and brownish but unclear cytoplasm (group B); pinkish cytoplasm with no nuclei seen (group C); brownish cytoplasm with unclear features (group D); only the testis demonstrated remarkable features. This study demonstrated the properties of avocado seed extract as an acid dye capable of staining the cytoplasm, and may have a better inclination towards staining testicular cytoplasm.

Abstract:
Ngesrepbalong Village in Limbangan District, Kendal, is known to be prone to landslides. Landslide mitigation through planting deep-rooted trees. This village was classified as a developing village until the end of 2023. Efforts to realize Ngesrepbalong as an avocado center required intensifying superior avocado cultivation, which involved mass availability of seeds. The problem was that the rootstock in avocado grafting was limited because one avocado only produced one seed. The production problems of the target partners of "Gunung Berkah" were overcome through socialization, training, implementation, assistance, monitoring and evaluation, and ensuring its sustainability by splitting avocado seeds/embryos into at least 2 or more. The community service activities showed that 100% of seed splitting results succeeded in growing into standard rootstock, which then became 150 superior avocado seedlings through grafting. The difference in rootstock was only in its height. For the efficiency of rootstock propagation for the Gunung Berkah group in the future, it is recommended that seed/embryo splitting be combined with the treatment of cutting the bottom of the avocado seed, giving growth hormones, and using the right planting media. The availability of avocado rootstock accelerated the availability of seeds for the intensification of superior avocado cultivation towards the realization of Ngesrepbalong as a superior avocado center.

Abstract:
The avocado (Persea americana), an edible fruit, is one of the main agricultural products in many tropical regions. Avocado fruit is rich in fat, and commercialized for fresh consumption and industrially processed leaving seed as a major residue. Avocado seed from the industry is worthy of attention for certain industrial applications and feasibility. Transforming avocado seed lipids into ecologically friendly or sustainable materials suitable for the cosmetic industry is promising from the perspective of green and environmental protection. The oil contents and fatty acid compositions of the seeds of 16 avocado accessions collected from southern China were investigated, revealing significant differences among most of the accessions. Seventeen fatty acids were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the seeds of all 16 avocado accessions. Linoleic (40.14%), palmitic (23.54%), and oleic acids (16.23%) were the major fatty acids in the seeds, and the total contents of unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds were all higher than those of saturated fatty acids. The biochemical properties of the avocado seed oils relevant to their application in industrial practice were examined [e.g., the acid (3.74 mg KOH/g oil), iodine (124.09 g I2/100 g oil), peroxide (49.83 meq H2O2), and saponification (167.98 mg KOH/g oil) values]. Furthermore, the bar soap containing avocado seed oil was made, and its physicochemical properties (pH and foamability) were evaluated.

Abstract:
Plants synthesize and store oil, mostly triacylglycerol (TAG), in various storage tissues that serves as a source of carbon and energy. The process is transcriptionally controlled by WRINKLED1 (WRI1), a member of the APETALA2 (AP2) class of transcription factors, that regulates most of the fatty acid biosynthesis genes. Among the four Arabidopsis WRI1 paralogs, only WRI2 is nonfunctional and failed to complement wri1-1 mutant seeds. The oleaginous Avocado (Persea americana) fruit mesocarp (60-70% DW oil) showed high expression levels for orthologs of WRI2, along with WRI1 and WRI3. While the role of WRI1 as a master seed oil biosynthesis regulator is well-established, the function of WRI1 paralogs in non-seed tissues is poorly understood. We conducted structural analyses to elucidate distinct features of avocado WRI paralogs compared to their orthologs in seed tissues. Comprehensive comparative in silico analyses of WRI1 paralogs from Arabidopsis (dicot), maize (monocot), and avocado revealed distinct features associated with their function. Our analysis showed the presence of only one AP2 domain in all WRI2 orthologs, compared to two AP2 in others. The highly conserved N-terminal region and the less conserved C-terminal regions make up the primary structure of the proteins, with amino acid composition bias characteristic of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Additionally, the avocado WRI2 showed a high proportion of random coil secondary structure, although it lacks a C-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR). Also, both WRI1 and WRI2 have distinct predicted phosphorylation target sites compared to their orthologs, whereas WRI2 lacks a PEST motif. Finally, through transient expression assays, we demonstrated that both avocado WRI1 and WRI2 are functional and drive TAG accumulation in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Our study showed that avocado WRI2 is structurally different and is functional, unlike its ortholog in Arabidopsis. This study provides us with new targets to enhance oil biosynthesis in plants.

Abstract:
>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Nature through billions of years of trial and error has produced an immeasurable amount of natural systems like plants, birds and animals. The intelligence of nature is hidden in these natural systems and researchers are turning towards “Nature’s intelligence” to find inspiration and advance novelty in the development of nanomaterials. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have unique optical, electronic and physicochemical features which has gained them popularity and widespread exploitation in various applications. The conventional methods used for AuNPs synthesis employs toxic chemicals which makes these NPs unsafe for biomedical applications. Hence, there is a search for new, ‘green’ and more cost effective methods for AuNPs synthesis. Plant extracts are regarded as a highly desirable system for nanoparticle synthesis due to their tremendous capability to produce a wide range of phytochemicals that can act as reducing agents. The main goal of this study was to synthesize AuNPs in a cost effective manner without the use of toxic chemicals in the synthesis process. Avocado seeds which are an agricultural waste by-product were used for the biosynthesis of AuNPs. The study reports on the synthesis optimization, characterization and activities of the biogenic AuNPs. The avocado seed extract mediated - AuNPs (AvoSE-AuNPs) were optimized by varying reaction parameters and characterized by UV-visible, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Zetasizer and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The formation of AvoSE-AuNPs had an absorption maximum at 534 nm. HRTEM and DLS confirmed that the NPs were polydispersed and present in different shapes. The presence of phytochemical constituents on the AvoSE-AuNPs were confirmed by FTIR. Their potential antibacterial activity was tested on bacterial strains known to exhibit resistance to a number of current antibiotics. The catalytic activity of AvoSE-AuNPs was also assessed as a means to contribute to the development of new methods aimed at alleviating organic pollutants such as nitrophenols in the environment. The AvoSE-AuNPs demonstrated excellent catalytic activity in the reduction of 4-NP by NaBH4 as shown by the rapid decrease in the nitrophenolate absorption band at 400 nm and the appearance of new absorption band at 298 nm, revealing the formation of the 4-aminophenol. Furthermore, the rate constants calculated demonstrated that the reaction occurs faster in the presence AvoSEAuNPs. The AvoSE-AuNPs showed low significant cytotoxicity. Cell cycle analysis was conducted to further investigate the apparent exhibited toxicity of the AvoSE-AuNPs. The results showed that in both cell lines treated with AvoSE-AuNPs and AvoSE there was a ii | P a g e disruption in the regulation of cell cycle. Cell cycle analysis helped improve understanding of the low cytotoxicity observed by the MTT assay results. The results presented in this study clearly demonstrate the feasibility of using AvoSE for the synthesis of AuNPs. This study demonstrated that AvoSE mediated AuNPs synthesis is a greener alternative as it abides by the green chemistry principles. Furthermore, the study outcomes contributed to minimizing environmental pollution by finding use for agricultural waste and thus ultimately adding value to the field.

Abstract:
Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a tree native to central and eastern Mexico. A basal angiosperm of the Lauraceae family, it produces an oil-rich fruit that is appreciated worldwide for its nutritional value. Mexico is the world’s leading avocado producer. Production is based mainly on the use of rootstocks of Persea americana var. drymifolia, a “Mexican native”. The agronomic characteristics of the rootstock are key to avocado production. This work reports a germination method to obtain seedlings in vitro from two avocado varieties, P. americana var. drymifolia and West Indian P. americana var. americana. With this system, germination success rates of 100% were obtained in a maximum of five days, with homogeneous seedling development. This system could provide rootstock that improves the characteristics of agronomic programs and the selection of genetic material for avocado production.

Full text
Abstract:
Extended Abstract Among the electroplating techniques, the co-deposition of non-metallic particles has become a prominent alternative due their specific properties. The use of natural compounds from agro-industrial residues, such as avocado seed powder (ASP) and garlic peel powder (GPP), in the electroplating bath can improve corrosion resistance, change roughness profile, and modify the coating wettability. This work aims to evaluate the influence of different concentration of agro-industrial residues co-deposited in the zinc coating employing salt spray test (SST), adapting ASTM B117. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were used to characterize the morphology of deposits and it was correlated with salt spray test (SST) results. The coated samples have been monitored every hour until the 8th hour, finishing after 24 h. Different concentrations of ASP and GPP (0.060 g/L, 0.330 g/L, and 0.600 g/L) were evaluated and compared to the coating without natural particles. In the first hours of exposure, the samples began to show corrosion points characteristic of zinc coating. ASP samples did not resist as much as GPP samples after 4 h of exposure. The GPP samples were almost intact after 8 h of exposure. After 24 h, all samples showed generalized corrosion. The GPP samples presented the most homogeneous, compact, brighter, and refined grain deposits by SEM images analysis. This procedure was sensitive enough to indicate that the 0.330 g/L GPP sample showed greater corrosion resistance.

Abstract:
The use of pretreatments for 24 h prior to storage, under anaerobic condtions, or in the presence of the natural metabolic products, acetaldehyde (AA) and ethanol, to delay fruit ripening, was found to be effective with several climacteric fruits, among them avocado, mango, peach and tomato. The delay in ripening of avocado, peach and tomato was accompanied by inhibition of ethylene production and of fruit softening. The maintenance of fruit firmness was associated with a decrease in the activities of cell-wall-degrading enzymes, including endoglucanases (Cx), polygalacturonases (PG) and b-galactosidases. In peaches the AA- and N2-treated fruits were firmer after 3 weeks storage and contained higher amount of insoluble pectin than untreated controls. We showed that AA vapors are able to inhibit ripening, ethylene production and ethylene induction in the presence of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ADD) in avocado and mango tissue. Ethylene induced by ACC is taken as an indicator of ACC oxidase activity. ACC oxidase activity in AA-treated avocado fruit was much lower than in the untreated fruit. In carnation flowers very little ethylene was produced by ethanol-treated flowers, and the normal increases in ACC content and ACC oxidase activity were also suppressed. Using kinetic studies and inhibitors of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), we showed that AA, not ethanol, was the active molecule in inhibiting ripening of tomato fruit. Application of anaerobiosis or anaerobic metabolites was effective in reduction of chilling injury (CI) in various plant tissues. Pretreatment with a low-O2 atmosphere reduced CI symptoms in avocado; this effect was associated with higher content of the free sylfhydryl (SH) group, and induction of the detoxification enzymes, catalase and peroxidase. Application of AA maintained firmer and brighter pulp tissue (non-oxidative), which was associated with higher free SH content, lower ethylene and ACC oxidase activities, and higher activities of catalase and peroxidase. Ethanol was found to reduce CI in other plant tissue. In roots of 24-h-old germinated cucumber seeds, exposure to 0.4-M ethanol shock for 4 h reduced chilling-induced ion leakage. In cucumber cotyledons it appears that alcohols may reduce CI by inducing stomata closure. In cotyledon discs held in N2 at 10C for 1 day, there accumulated sufficient endogenously synthesized ethanol to confer tolerance to chilling at 2.5C for 5 days.

Abstract:
Ethylene is a plant hormone that controls many plant responses, such as growth, senescence, ripening, abscission and seed germination. Recently, 1-methy- cyclopropene (1-MCP), was shown to bind to ethylene receptor for a certain period of time and prevent ethylene action. The objectives of this research were to synthesize analogues of 1-MCP and test their potency to block the ethylene receptor and inhibit ethylene action. During the course of this project, procedures for synthesis and shipment of the cyclopropene compounds were developed as well assay procedures for each compound were worked out. Thirteen new compounds were synthesized. All of them are structural analogues of 1-MCP, with substitution in the 1-position and a side chain containing 2 to 10 carbons. After preliminary studies, nine promising compounds were selected for in-depth study. The potency of the compounds to inhibit ethylene action was tested on a wide scope of systems like: climacteric fruits (banana, avocado and tomato), the triple response (etiolated peas), and leaf abscission (citrus). As the putative inhibitors are suspected to compete for the site of binding and a competitive type of inhibition could be considered, a high concentration of ethylene (300 m1.L-1) was used to induce ripening and other physiological processes. The tests were conducted under extreme conditions which hasten ripening like treatment and storage at 22 to 25oC. There were fluctuations in the responses as related to the concentrations of the inhibitors. Some required much higher concentration to exert the same effect, while some, when applied at the same concentration, blocked the receptor for a longer period of time than the others. Some fruits and other plant organs responded differently to the same inhibitor, indicating differences in characteristics and availability of the ethylene receptors in the various tissues. The potency of the putative inhibitors was found to be greatly affected by their molecular structural and size. In addition, it was found that treatment with the inhibitor should be given before the onset of ethylene action In the case of fruit, treatment should be carried out before the pre-climacteric stage. Simultaneous treatment with ethylene and the inhibitors reduced the inhibitors' effect. The relationship between ethylene and the inhibitors is of a non-competitive nature. All the fruits treated with the putative inhibitors resumed normal ripening after recovery from the inhibition. This fact is of great importance when considering the inhibitors for practical use. The advantage of using inhibitors of ethylene action over inhibitors of ethylene production lies in the ability of the inhibitors of ethylene action to protect the tissue against both endogenous and exogenous ethylene, thus providing better overall protection. Our findings indicate that 1-MCP and its structural analogues are potent inhibitors of ethylene action capable of providing good protection against endogenous and exogenous ethylene. The fact that the compounds are in a gas phase and are non-phytotoxic, odorless and effective at minute concentrations, renders them promising candidates for commercial use. However, the development of water-soluble inhibitors will expand the potential use of the inhibitors in agriculture.

Abstract:
Crown rot is a severe postharvest disease affecting tropical and subtropical fruits like mango, avocado, papaya, and banana. It is caused by fungal pathogens that penetrate the fruit, reducing its pulp and leading to premature ripening. Systemic fungicides have been used to control these fungi, typically applied to seeds, leaves, or fruits to prevent disease spread. However, traditional fungicides can pose toxicity risks to the environment and human health. Essential oils are chemical substances that can be found in plants and have antifungal capacity. Essential oils are being investigated as an alternative to traditional fungicides since they are less toxic to the environment and human health; however, they are more expensive and less efficient than traditional fungicides. Accordingly, chemically synthesizing the chemical compounds that are the active antifungal agent inside essential oils can be an ecological and effective approach to produce a new generation of antifungals. In this study, modified starch was investigated as a carrier for thymol (active antifungal agent in thyme oil) incorporation using four distinct methods. Emulsions of starch and thymol were prepared and spray dried to obtain a soluble powder that was used to produce coatings. The most effective method for thymol incorporation yields a retention of approximately 40% according to gas chromatography analysis. In-vitro results indicated that thymol incorporated into the matrix exhibited antifungal effects against key fungi responsible for crown rot disease in Cavendish bananas at concentrations greater than 6% w/w relative to the coating matrix.
