Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.) is a traditional Indonesian plant that has many benefits. Curcuminoids are turmeric compounds known to have effects as immunomodulators and have been proven in several in vivo tests. Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclophosphamide are widely given to improve clinical symptoms in autoimmune patients and cancer treatment which can cause susceptibility to infection.Therefore,this study aimed to determine the immunostimulating effect of curcuminoid extract from turmeric rhizome on cyclophosphamide-induced white rats. Proof of the immunostimulating effect of curcuminoid extracts was by testing the total leukocytes and leukocytesdifferential. The test results showed that curcuminoid extracts of 1 mL, 0.5 mL, and 0.25 mL increased total leukocytes and leukocyte differential (lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils) with a significant difference (p<0.05) to the Na group CMC 0.5% as a negative control. Therefore, curcuminoid extract had the potential to have an effect as an immunostimulant.

Abstract

Fermentation is a natural process when microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria convert carbohydrates such as starch and sugar into alcohol or acid. Some fermented products from microorganisms can be processed into foods that can be consumed and provide good health effects for the body. Fermented foods such as kefir, tempeh, natto, and kimchi are foods that produce probiotic bacteria, which are good bacteria that have a beneficial effect on the host when consumed in sufficient quantities (about 108–1011 CFU/mL). If probiotics are consumed in combination with prebiotics, they will have a synergistic effect called "synbiotics" and will increase the benefits of probiotics. Several in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies have shown that probiotics can help with diseases like diarrhea, high cholesterol, diabetes, colon cancer, and dyslipidemia
