Abstract

The rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb is intensively used in Indonesia as traditional medicine. It is widely used for hepatoprotective and anti inflammatory activities. To ensure the quality of its extract, we have studied the fingerprint or phytochemical analysis. This research was aimed to produce a chromatogram profile of the rhizome by HPTLC. The HPTLC fingerprint chromatogram of C. xanthorrhiza rhizome was performed using HPTLC plate of silica gel 60 F254 as the stationary phase and chloroform-methanol (97:3) as the mobile phase. Spot detection was carried out by TLC photo documentary system at 254 and 366 nm and TLC scanner at 427 nm. The developed method was validated according to ICH guidelines by determination of specificity and precision. We found that the specifity and precission of the method were met the acceptance criteria. In conclusion, the developed method is valid and could be used for quality control and standardization of herbal medicine containing C. xanthorrhiza rhizome.

Abstract

As consumers, the public plays a vital role in ensuring the safe and appropriate use of products. This study aimed to assess awareness of food and drug safety and quality among the Indonesian population. Using a cross-sectional survey, the authors measured public awareness across three key dimensions: knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Data were collected from 20,610 respondents aged 17–65 years from 34 provinces in Indonesia. The survey approach employed a three-stage stratified sampling design. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews, and the results were presented as an index ranging from 0 to 100 (low to high awareness). The respondents demonstrated good knowledge (92.85), attitudes (90.46), and practices (80.97). The average overall Awareness Index was 88.09. The authors observed significant variations by region, age, education, and occupation, but not by sex. The gap between knowledge and attitudes, and practices can be regarded as a public health concern. Awareness of food and drug safety and quality that does not manifest in behavioral practices does not protect consumers from harm.
