Abstract

Red sesbania flowers (Sesbania grandiflora L) are rich in bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids, anthocyanins, and vitamin C, which play an important role as natural antioxidants. In the development of functional beverages, red sesbania flowers have significant potential for use in herbal tea processing. The combination of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanni), which contains cinnamaldehyde and phenolic compounds, enhances aroma and flavor while also strengthening both its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study aims to formulate a tea product made from red sesbania flowers with a combination of cinnamon and mint leaves in accordance with SNI quality standards and to evaluate its antioxidant activity. The research was conducted in several stages, including the preparation of herbal tea from red sesbania flowers, the addition of cinnamon and mint leaves, hedonic tests, SNI quality tests (organoleptic, water content, ash content, and total polyphenol content), and analysis of antioxidant activity. The results showed that the best formula for red sesbania flower tea was the one with the addition of 15% cinnamon and 20% mint leaves. The antioxidant activity of these teas was relatively weak, with IC50 values of 472.335 µg/mL for the original tea, 206.93 µg/mL for the cinnamon formula, and 525.825 µg/mL for the mint formula. Red sesbania flower herbal tea exhibited weaker antioxidant activity than vitamin C, with a significantly higher IC50 value (1.88 µg/mL) compared to vitamin C.

Black Garlic (BG) is a fermented product of garlic heated at 60-70ᵒC for 14 days. Black garlic has a black color and has an aroma and taste that is not too pungent like garlic. In Black Garlic S-allylcysteine helps the absorption of allicin making metabolism against bacterial infections easier. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical evaluation and antibacterial activity of 70% ethanol extract Black Garlic (EEBG) as well as the optimum concentration of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Propionibacterium acnes. The study used Single Black Garlic (Allium sativum L.) from Lumajang, East Java, fermented for 30 days at a temperature of 70°C and humidity of 90%. Single black garlic extract is formulated in 3 formulas, including formula 1 (0,5% extract), formula 2 (1% extract), formula 3 (1,5% extract), negatif control (base) and Wardah Acnederm Pure Refining Toner as a comparison. Toner were evaluated by organoleptic testing, pH, homogeneity, and antibacterial activity. The physical results of the toner preparation meet the physical quality requirements which include (organoleptic testing, pH, and homogeneity). The results of the antibacterial activity of toner preparations in formula 1 (0,5% extract), formula 2 (1% extract), formula 3 (1,5% extract), and Commercial toner for antibacterial. The conclusion of this study shows that EEBG has promising antibacterial effects and the evaluation of all instant granules has met the specified requirements.
