Abstract

Beberapa tahun terakhir obat dari bahan alam kembali menjadi tren di masyarakat karena adanya anggapan bahwa bahan alam lebih aman dan ekonomis dibandingkan dengan obat-obat kimia. Anggapan bahwa obat dari bahan alam lebih aman dibandingkan dengan obat kimia tidaklah sepenuhnya benar karena hal tersebut harus dibuktikan melalui uji toksikologi dan uji klinis. Saat ini cukup banyak penelitian yang telah dilakukan untuk membuktikan adanya efek farmakologi bahan alam. Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan sendiri menetapkan sembilan tanaman obat keluarga (TOGA) unggulan yang telah diteliti dan diuji secara klinis. Sembilan tanaman obat itu adalah sambiloto, jambu biji, jati belanda, cabe jawa, temulawak, jahe merah, kunyit, mengkudu dan salam. Hal ini perlu disosialisasikan kepada masyarakat agar mereka dapat memanfaatkan sembilan tanaman obat yang telah melalui uji klinis tersebut. Metode kegiatan yang dilakukan pada pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah penyuluhan dengan menggunakan metode ceramah dan menggunakan media slide power point yang berisi penjelasan mengenai sembilan jenis tanaman obat keluarga unggulan serta dengan cara mengajak masyarakat untuk menanam TOGA. Keberhasilan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dinilai dari target jumlah peserta 75%, ketercapaian tujuan 80%, ketercapaian target materi 80% dan keberhasilan penanaman TOGA di rumah 80%. Kesimpulan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah penyuluhan TOGA meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman masyarakat tentang TOGA dan 9 tanaman yang telah mengalami uji klinik.Kata Kunci : Tanaman Obat Keluarga, TOGA, Uji Klinik

Abstract

Microbial contamination in food can pose a serious threat, as it not only reduces food quality but also directly impacts health, ranging from mild to severe conditions, and can affect people of all ages. Adolescents are vulnerable to food poisoning due to limited knowledge and skills in safe food handling. This community service activity involved partners from SMAN 6 Depok and aimed to address the main problems faced by teenagers, such as limited knowledge about the types of microorganisms that can cause contamination in food. Educating adolescents is crucial, considering that the highest cases of food poisoning occur in this age group, yet education efforts are still rare because most health programs focus on groups directly involved in food processing. The methods used include interactive educational approaches, such as presentations, discussions, and Q&A sessions, as well as laboratory practices to observe microorganisms with the aid of a microscope. The activity also involved administering questionnaires in the form of pre-tests and post-tests to the adolescents. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in knowledge about the types of microorganisms that cause food contamination, from 40% to 96%. This educational program has strong sustainability potential with long-term impacts in the form of increased adolescents’ knowledge and a reduced risk of foodborne diseases.

Abstract

Salmonella typhi is a negative Gram bacteria that causes typhoid fever and requires alternative therapeutic approaches due to increasing antibiotic resistance. Actinomycetes are known as producers of secondary metabolites with high, stable, and adaptive antibacterial activity; however, their effectiveness is strongly influenced by the extraction method of bioactive compounds. Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) has the potential to enhance extraction efficiency through cavitation effects and frequency variation, which has not been widely explored. This study aimed to determine the effect of different UAE frequencies (30 kHz, 40 kHz, and 50 kHz) on the ability of Actinomycetes isolates to inhibit the growth of S. typhi. Extraction was performed using UAE at three different frequencies. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using the well diffusion method on Nutrient Agar medium. The diameter of inhibition zones was measured using a digital caliper and analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. The mean inhibition zone diameters at 30 kHz, 40 kHz, and 50 kHz were 4.42 mm, 4.00 mm, and 5.76 mm, respectively. Based on the Davis and Stout classification, the 30 kHz and 40 kHz treatments were categorized as weak (<5 mm), whereas 50 kHz was classified as moderate (5–10 mm). Statistical analysis indicated significant differences among treatment groups (p < 0.05). These differences affected the effectiveness of Actinomycetes  in inhibiting the growth of S. typhi. The 50 kHz frequency exhibited the highest antibacterial activity, with the largest inhibition zone diameter indicating optimal efficiency in the release of secondary metabolite compounds.
