Abstract

Clitoria ternatea L. or telang flower is widely used as a natural food coloring, herbal tea and also as an additional active ingredient in pharmacological products. C. ternatea contains antioxidants are good for protecting cells from free radicals, maintaining the immune system, anti-aging and good for skin health. The aim of this research was to determine the gel formulation of C. ternatea flower extract regarding its total flavonoid content. The formulation results have gone through physical quality tests and total flavonoid tests. Physical quality test parameters include organoleptic test, homogeneity test, pH test, spreadability test, hedonic test, moisture test, and irritation test. The high extract content will increase the flavonoid content in the gel formulation, and it also make the color of the preparation more intense (purplish blue), making it less preferred by users. Therefore, from the hedonic test results, it is known that is preferred by users is with a concentration of C. ternatea condensed extract of 1%. The last formulation showed that the total flavonoid content of C. ternatea gel formulation had a total flavonoid content of 63.21 ug/g using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. This flavonoid content indicates that the gel formulation contains antioxidants are good for skin health.

Abstract

Kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) is one of the traditional medicinal plants that has long been used by the Indonesian people, including the community of Klambu Village, Klambu Subdistrict, Grobogan Regency. However, local knowledge regarding its use has not been widely documented scientifically. This study aims to examine the utilization of kencur by the local community from ethnobotanical, ethnomedicinal, and ethnoeconomic perspectives. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with field surveys, direct observations, and structured interviews conducted with 35 respondents selected through snowball sampling techniques. The results show that the most commonly used parts of the kencur plant are the rhizome (fruit), leaves, and roots, which are used to treat ailments such as cough, colds, gastritis, and diarrhea, through various methods of preparation including chewing, drinking, applying topically, and cooking. In addition to its medicinal use, kencur also has economic value as it is sold in fresh form and as an ingredient in traditional herbal medicine (jamu). This knowledge is passed down through generations and is still preserved today. Therefore, kencur plays an important role in the lives of the Klambu Village community, both as a source of traditional medicine and as a local economic potential that should be preserved and developed. This research emphasizes the importance of preserving traditional knowledge based on medicinal plants and supports its development through systematic documentation, integration of pharmaceutical sciences, and local economic empowerment.
