Anticancer Diets


Anticancer Diets 

          You can reduce your chances of developing cancer and several chronic diseases by making healthy food choices. An anticancer diet is an important strategy to prevent cancer. The best way to reduce your risk of cancer is to consume anticancer foods, to eat more antioxidant foods, and to avoid carcinogenic foods.
            There are various foods which has anticancer activities. Most of them can be found in plant foods, including fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are rich in cancer-fighting nutrients and non-nutrients (phytochemicals). Recent studies found, in several compounds show a very strong anticancer activity. It contains polyphenol compounds which have bioactivity potential to anticancer.
            Another way to reduce the risk of cancer is to eat more antioxidant foods. Antioxidants are found in certain foods and may prevent some of the damage caused by free radicals by neutralizing them. The body can cope with some free radicals and needs them to function effectively. However, the damage caused by an overload of free radicals over time may become irreversible and lead to certain diseases, such as cancer. Plant foods are rich sources of antioxidants. They are most abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as other foods including nuts, whole grains, and some meats, poultry, and fish.
            The other important way is to avoid foods that are carcinogenic potent. The FDA and WHO also remain concerned about the presence in food of acrylamides, a known carcinogen that forms from sugar and amino acids when cooked at high temperatures. That’s why you have to cook until it’s golden-yellow, not brown or even black.
            There are no foods that can cure cancer, however, foods contain some compounds which can prevent cancer. The best way to prevent cancer is to start anticancer diets, including consume anticancer foods, eat more antioxidant foods, and avoid carcinogenic foods. Those kinds of foods is rich in plant foods, such as fruits and vegetables.

Isolation Curcumin from Turmeric Plant

Isolation Curcumin from Turmeric Plant             Curcumin compound produced by Curcuma longa plant or we can call it turmeric. It has many scientifically-proven health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis. A compound inside a plant can be isolated by using a specific step and method.             The first step is extraction by using the maceration and partition method. The turmeric roots need to be dried and powdered before start the maceration method. After getting that dried and powdered turmeric roots, soak it in the methanol at the room temperature and leave it for one night. Then evaporate the methanol extract to obtain a crude methanol extract. The next method is partition twice with different eluents. First p...

Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy When we have an unknown compound, we need to identify it with spectroscopy. Spectroscopy  is a general term used for the instrumental processes by which information about the molecular structure is obtained through careful analysis of the  absorption ,  scattering , or emission of  electromagnetic radiation  by compounds. Structure identification of compound can be divided into three types of spectroscopy based on the principles, such as ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy. Identification of the unknown compounds can be analyzed by using ultraviolet Spectroscopy. The ultraviolet spectrum of the unknown compounds will absorb in the UV-Vis wavelength range (λ maks ) . The spectrum will absorb at a given wavelength and this property is due to functional groups, conjugation, etc. UV-Vis can be used in a qualitative manner, to identify functional groups or confirm the identity of a compound by matching t...
