Abstract

Food safety is still an important issue because some food products are suspected of containing hazardous substances such as borax. Borax is often added to food to improve texture and shelf life, even though it can be harmful to human health. This study aimed to determine the potential use of turmeric extract as a natural indicator for detecting borax in cireng. The research used a literature review method by collecting and analyzing scientific articles related to borax detection using turmeric extract. The results showed that turmeric contains curcumin, a natural compound that reacts with borax and produces a color change from yellow to reddish-brown. This color change indicates the presence of borax in food samples. One cireng sample showed a reddish-brown color change and was identified as positive for borax, while another sample did not show any color change and was identified as negative. Therefore, turmeric extract can be used as a simple and environmentally friendly alternative for borax detection in food products and may increase public awareness regarding food safety.

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia is a lipid metabolism disorder characterized by elevated blood cholesterol levels and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.) are known to contain various bioactive compounds that have the potential to act as natural antioxidants and play a role in controlling cholesterol levels. This study aims to examine the antioxidant compounds contained in Moringa leaves and their potential in the prevention and management of hypercholesterolemia, based on various published research results. The method used was a literature review by collecting and analyzing relevant scientific articles. The results of the study indicate that Moringa leaves contain flavonoids, polyphenols, quercetin, kaempferol, gallic acid, vitamin C, β-carotene, saponins, and phytosterols, which act as antioxidants. These compounds can inhibit free radical formation, prevent LDL oxidation, enhance the endogenous antioxidant system, and help improve lipid profiles by reducing total and LDL cholesterol levels and increasing HDL levels. Based on the results of this study, Moringa leaves have the potential to be developed as an herbal alternative in the prevention and management of hypercholesterolemia.
