Abstract

The development of herbal fermentation-based functional foods represents an innovative approach in Herbal course learning within health education. This activity aimed to integrate herbal kombucha production as a case study in the D3 Nursing Program at STIKes Tujuh Belas Karanganyar. A qualitative case study design was applied over one academic semester through planning, implementation, and evaluation stages of practice-based learning. Students produced herbal kombucha using local ingredients such as white turmeric, lemongrass, and temulawak through SCOBY fermentation techniques. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding of functional food concepts, fermentation principles, and the pharmacological potential of local herbs. This hands-on learning approach also encouraged a cognitive transformation from traditional herbal perspectives to modern biotechnology-based understanding. In addition to producing learning products, this activity enhanced students’ scientific literacy in relating fermentation, bioavailability of bioactive compounds, and health benefits. The integration of herbal kombucha proved to be an effective innovative learning model relevant to promotive and preventive competencies in vocational nursing education..

Abstract

Dandruff is a common scalp disorder primarily associated with the activity of lipophilic fungi of the genus Malassezia, which can cause irritation, itching, and decreased quality of life. The widespread use of chemical-based anti-dandruff agents such as ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione may lead to side effects, including skin irritation, microbial resistance, and disruption of the scalp microbiota. Therefore, the development of safer and more sustainable natural alternatives is urgently needed. This study aims to explore the formulation of a natural anti-dandruff shampoo based on kombucha-fermented hanjeli leaves (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) by integrating local wisdom and modern biotechnology approaches. Kombucha fermentation produces various bioactive compounds, including organic acids, enzymes, and phenolic substances, which exhibit antifungal activity against Malassezia spp. Meanwhile, hanjeli leaves contain flavonoids, phenolics, and polysaccharides with antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. The combination of these two components is expected to enhance antifungal efficacy while maintaining scalp health. This study highlights the potential of kombucha-based hanjeli leaf shampoo as a natural, effective, and sustainable anti-dandruff product, contributing to the development of locally sourced pharmaceutical and cosmetic innovations
