Population of C. titthaecheilus in Indonesia are relatively abundant, but research about anatomy of male reproduction organs of this species is still rare. The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomical features of male C. tittahecheilus reproductive organs. Observations of macroscopic anatomy include observation of morphology, size, weight and volume of penis, testiscle, epididymis, vas defferens, prostate and seminal vesicles.

Abnormality of sperm is usually characterized by abnormal sperm motility and viability. This was caused by the inability of mitochondria on ATP-ase in producing ATP and ecto-enzyme Cik role in keeping the movement so that movement of sperm motility declines. Research that leads to total abnormal sperm DNA analysis is still rare. The purpose of this research was to get the results of the molecular characteristic picture of the overall characteristics of DNA loci that have abnormalities in bull sperm and get a picture of differences in overall DNA loci of abnormal and normal sperm. This research was conducted in October-December 2016.

This research had three main steps, soursop leaf extraction, edible film making, and application on red grapes storage time. Soursop leaves extract variation used in this research are 0.5; 1; and 1.5% (w/w total) and the best result was used to coat the red grapes. The results showed that the optimum composition was obtained on the edible film with the addition of 0.5% (w/w total) soursop leaf extract. The composition increased film thickness from 0.03 to 0.08 mm, decreased film’s tensile strength from 11.89 to 8.42 MPa, decreased elongation from 12.71 to 11.03%, decreased the Young Modulus from 0.935 to 0.764 MPa, and decreased the vapor transmission rate from 7.45 to 6.55 g/m 2 .hour. The 50% shrinkage of weight and 50% texture damage are used as parameters to measure the Red grapes storage time. Based on weight shrinkage, red grapes storage time change from 24 days to 29 days by using an edible film coating without addition of extract, an extend to 32 days while using an edible film coating with addition of soursop leaf extract. Based on texture damage, red grapes storage time increased from 13 to 41 days if using an edible film coating without addition of extract, and increased to 40 days using an edible film coating with the addition of soursop leaf extract.","PeriodicalId":8882,"journal":{"name":"Biology, Medicine, & Natural Product Chemistry","volume":"5 1","pages":"55-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66959717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
