Abstract

Carrot extract (Daucus carota L.) contains various bioactive compounds, including vitamins A, B, and C, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, anthraquinones, saponins, diterpenes, steroids, beta-carotene, phenols, terpenoids, and minerals, all of which possess antioxidant properties. These compounds are known to help slow down the aging process. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal concentrations of gelling and alkalizing agents, assess their interactions, and evaluate the anti-aging effects of the most effective serum formulation. The formulation was optimized using the Box–Behnken design with two key factors: Carbopol 940 concentration (0.5–1%) and triethanolamine (0.5–1%). The effects on pH, adhesion, and spreadability were evaluated. The best formulation was achieved with 0.837% Carbopol 940 and 0.855% triethanolamine, showing a pH error of 2.45%, adhesion error of 0.76%, and spreadability error of 1.01%, all within acceptable limits (errors < 10%). After four weeks of stability testing, the formulation remained stable, well-mixed, with a pH of 5.16, an adhesion time of 1.60 seconds, and spreadability of 6.73 cm, with no discomfort. The combination of Carbopol 940 and triethanolamine improved the physical properties, enhancing anti-aging effects compared to the base formula. The optimized serum increased skin moisture by 84.62%, reduced pore size by 64.71%, lightened spots by 62.79%, and reduced wrinkles by 67.50%. This indicates the optimized carrot extract serum is stable, safe, and effective as an anti-aging agent, making it a promising natural skincare product.

Abstract

Coastal environmental problems in Rupat District cannot be resolved solely through a top-down approach or government intervention. This study was conducted in 2025 with the intention of comprehensively analyzing the role of the community in environmental management in the coastal areas of Rupat District, particularly on Ketapang and Lancah beaches. Through a systematic research approach, this study aims to identify the forms of community roles in coastal environmental management efforts, analyze factors that influence the level of community participation, describe the various challenges faced in implementing community-based environmental management, and formulate strategies for strengthening community roles that can be implemented sustainably. The method used in this study was a survey method with a total of 31 respondents, consisting of fishermen, seaweed farmers, fish traders, community leaders, and people involved in marine tourism activities. The results of the study can be concluded that community-based coastal environmental management has enormous potential but faces complex structural challenges

Abstract

Kombucha tea is a traditional fermented beverage known for its probiotic benefits, produced from sweetened tea fermented with a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY). Recent innovations have focused on enhancing its functional properties using local fruit extracts. However, studies on the incorporation of Spondias dulcis (kedondong), a native fruit of Riau, remain limited. This study aims to formulate kombucha tea enriched with kedondong juice and evaluate its quality and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Four formulations were prepared with kedondong juice concentrations of 0% (F1), 10% (F2), 20% (F3), and 30% (F4). Parameters observed included organoleptic properties, pH, alcohol content, microbial growth, and total acidity. Antibacterial activity was tested using the disc diffusion method, and results were statistically analyzed using One-Way ANOVA. F4 on day 7 showed the highest inhibition zones (13.30 mm for E. coli and 14.49 mm for S. aureus), with significant differences between formulations (p < 0.05). This study highlights the potential of kedondong-enriched kombucha tea as a functional probiotic beverage and a natural source of mild antibacterial agents, offering an innovative approach to utilizing local biodiversity in public health.
