Abstract

Jamblang (Syzygium cumini L.) is one of the traditional Acehnese plants that has many health benefits. The purpose of this study was to determine the results of phytochemical screening on the methanol extract of jamblang peel (Syzygium cumini L.) which has the potential as antidiabetic. This study used a qualitative descriptive research design to determine the results of phytochemical screening. Phytochemical screening was carried out using several reagents, with the types and levels adjusted to the type of phytochemical test. Phytochemical tests carried out included: tests for alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and essential oils. The results showed that there were alkaloids (mayer formed a white precipitate, Wagner formed a brown precipitate, Dragendorff formed a red precipitate), terpenoids formed a red precipitate, saponins formed a foam, flavonoids formed a red color, phenolics formed a green color and tannins formed a white precipitate. Flavonoids are antioxidant compounds that are able to ward off free radicals. One of the derivatives of these flavonoids is quercetin and kompferol which are thought to act as antidiabetic because they can repair damage to pancreatic beta cells.Keywords: Phytochemical Screening, Methanol Extract of Jamblang Bark (Syzygium cumini L., Antiabetic.

Abstract

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)-based learning is designed to enhance 21st-century competencies in students through interdisciplinary integration and project-based activities. This study examines the implementation of fermentation experiments as a STEM learning medium in the Biology Education (Tadris Biologi) course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Aceh. Fermentation experiments (such as making tempeh or yogurt) involve microbial biology concepts (roles of yeast/bacteria) and chemical reactions (conversion of sugars into ethanol or acids), thus enabling the integration of science and mathematics in real-world contexts. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving undergraduate students of Biology Education. Data were collected through pre- and post-learning concept tests, laboratory activity observations, and questionnaires measuring 21st-century skills (4Cs). The results showed a significant improvement in students’ conceptual understanding of fermentation and in their critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. Students actively posed critical questions regarding biochemical changes during fermentation and demonstrated enhanced teamwork and creativity in designing experiments. Overall, the fermentation experiments effectively bridged microbial biology and chemical reaction concepts while strengthening 21st-century skills, in line with previous research findings. This study implies that STEM integration through fermentation experiments can improve science literacy among Biology Education students and is recommended for higher education curricula.

Abstract

Ecoenzyme is an organic fermentation solution obtained from household organic waste, which has great potential in supporting sustainable environmental management. This study aims to review the benefits and applications of ecoenzymes based on current literature, and evaluate their relevance to global environmental challenges. The results of the review indicate that ecoenzymes play an effective role in waste treatment, pollution reduction, and improving soil and water quality. In addition, ecoenzymes also contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Despite its significant benefits, the adoption of ecoenzymes on a large scale faces challenges, such as the lack of standardization of production processes and the need for more in-depth scientific validation. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the use of ecoenzymes and support their application in various sectors. This study is expected to be a reference for the development of environmentally friendly technologies that are in line with the principles of sustainable development. Key words: ecoenzyme, environmental management, sustainable development, climate change mitigation, organic waste

Abstract

Functional beverages based on fermentation are increasingly in demand as public awareness of the importance of preventive health increases. Kombucha coffee, an innovation from coffee fermentation using bacterial and yeast cultures (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast or SCOBY), offers a combination of the benefits of coffee and traditional kombucha. This article examines the potential of kombucha coffee as a functional beverage that contributes to improving the immune system and maintaining the balance of gut microbiota. The fermentation process produces probiotics, organic acids, and other bioactive compounds that play an important role in strengthening the body's defenses and modulating the immune response through the gut-immune axis. In addition, the natural antioxidant content of fermented coffee can reduce oxidative stress and support digestive tract health. Literature studies show that consuming kombucha coffee has the potential to increase the population of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, inhibit pathogens, and improve the integrity of the intestinal barrier. These findings indicate that kombucha coffee has great prospects as an alternative functional beverage that supports holistic health. Further studies are needed to understand the specific biological mechanisms and standardization of production to ensure the safety and consistency of its benefits.Keywords: kombucha coffee, immune system, gut microbiota, fermentation, antioxidants

Abstract

The intertidal zone of Iboih Beach in Sukakarya District, Sabang, has significant macroalgae diversity with different substrate variations. This study examined the diversity, distribution, and ecological significance of macroalgae using the quadrat method with purposive sampling technique on three plots measuring 2 2 m (coral, sand, and rock substrates), each replicated three times. Measurements of environmental parameters including temperature (using a thermometer), salinity (refractometer), and depth (Secchi disk) were carried out prior to sampling to ensure that environmental conditions were recorded. The results showed Galaxaura rugosa as the dominant species (INP 63.22), followed by Halimeda opuntia (38.42) and Chaetomorpha crassa (35.27), which showed a preference for hard substrates rich in nutrients. In contrast, Caulerpa sp. had the lowest INP (9.33), indicating specific habitat adaptation. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H=1.57) was in the moderate category, with an average INP of 28.575 reflecting a diverse community occupying different ecological niches. The coral substrate supported the highest abundance due to its stability and nutrient availability. This finding confirms the crucial role of substrate characteristics in the structure of intertidal macroalgal communities.Keywords:DiversityMacroalgaeIntertidal zoneSubstrateIboih Beach

Abstract

This study aims to identify the secondary metabolite content and active compounds in plant extracts through phytochemical screening and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Phytochemical tests revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and terpenoids, which are known for their biological activities including antioxidant and anticholesterol properties. GC-MS analysis identified 21 compounds, with dominant constituents including Phytol, 8-(2,3-Dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one, and Murrayatin. Among these, Phytol was identified as the primary candidate for anticholesterol activity, supported by literature indicating its role in inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis. These findings suggest that the extract has potential as a natural anticholesterol agent, although further pharmacological studies are needed to confirm its specific bioactivity.
