Making the Film Hydrogel Galactomanan Cross Borat of Borat from Galactomanan Galactoman (Arenga Pinnata) with Boric Acid (H3BO3)

Introduction

The development of hydrogel films from natural resources has gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable materials. In this study, we aimed to make a hydrogel film from galactomanan, a polysaccharide extracted from the fro (Arenga pinnata), and cross-link it with boric acid (H3BO3). The resulting hydrogel film was characterized using various analytical techniques, including FT-IR, SEM, and swelling studies.

Materials and Methods

The fro (Arenga pinnata) was collected from a local market and extracted using a centrifugation method at 7000 rpm for 60 minutes. The resulting galactomanan was then extracted using ethanol solvents. The galactomanan was then mixed with boric acid (H3BO3) in various ratios (GIB 1: 1: 0.05; GIB 2: 1: 0.10; GIB 3: 1: 0.20; GIB 4: 1: 0.30; and GIB 5: 1: 0.40) and stirred using a hotplate stirrer. The resulting hydrogel films were then characterized using FT-IR, SEM, and swelling studies.

Results

The FT-IR analysis showed the vibration of B-O exclusion on the wave number 1357.89-1365.60 cm^-1, the vibration of O-H on the wave number 3394.72-3417.86 cm^-1, and the bent O-H vibrations in wave numbers 1635.64-1643.35 cm^-1. The SEM analysis showed that the hydrogels of galactoman cross bores have a rough and hollow surface. The thickness of the film Hydrogel Galactomanan Cross British Tie ranges from 1.42 - 1.98 mm. The degree of swelling of the hydrogel galactoman of the borate crossing in water distillation and phosphate buffer solution pH 7.4 reached a maximum of GIB 2. In NaCl 0.9%solution, the degree of swelling increases, while in the 0.1 N HCl solution, the hydrogel completely dissolved.

Discussion

The process of making this hydrogel film shows great potential in the use of local natural resources, namely fro, which is rich in galactoman. Galactoman itself is a polysaccharide that has good gel properties, so it is very useful in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable materials. The use of centrifugation methods and ethanol solvents in galactoman separation shows that this technique is effective for getting higher galactoman concentrations. In addition, the variation of the ratio between galactoman and boric acid is important to produce different physical and chemical properties in hydrogel.

The results of the FT-IR analysis indicate an interaction between galactoman and boric acid, which is characterized by changes in the vibration spectrum. This shows that the cross binding process carried out not only serves to increase the mechanical strength of the hydrogel film, but also affects the ability of hydrogels to absorb water. Rough morphology and perforation seen in GIB 4 hydrogel can provide benefits in terms of interaction with the external environment, allowing better water absorption and improving the nature of its biodegradity. The different degree of swelling in various solutions also shows that this hydrogel film can be applied in various environmental conditions, which makes it a promising candidate for applications in the medical field, such as the delivery of drugs and wound dressing.

Conclusion

Making the film Galactoman Hydrogel Cross-Better Borage from Kolang-Caling offers an attractive innovation potential and supports the use of local resources on a sustainable manner. Further research is needed to explore various applications and optimization of the process of making this hydrogel.

Future Directions

The results of this study suggest that the hydrogel film made from galactomanan and boric acid has great potential in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable materials. Further research is needed to explore the use of this hydrogel film in various medical applications, such as wound dressing and drug delivery. Additionally, the optimization of the process of making this hydrogel film is also necessary to improve its physical and chemical properties.
