Abstract

Phytoestrogens are compounds from plants that have a structure and function similar to estrogen (17β-estradiol). Phytoestrogens can be found in Chrysophyllum cainito L., Elaeis guineensis Jacq., Lannea acida Rich., Marsilea crenata Presl., and Medicago sativa L. This systematic review aimed to prove that all of these five plants have phytoestrogens which were observed with several instruments, and to assess activities and bone forming mechanisms from these five plants in the female mice (Mus musculus) and female rats (Rattus norvegicus). This systematic review was done by identifying articles in several databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct). The process of selecting the articles used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to create a flowchart with inclusion and exclusion study criteria. Meta-synthesis was done to analyze, identify, and interpret all of the data in the articles systematically. 31 articles in total were obtained from the selection process, with 27 articles containing a discussion about chemical compound content and 4 articles describing research results for in vivo testing of the plants that were reviewed. The results showed that these five plants have phytoestrogens and by in vivo testing have the activity in increasing trabecular bone density in the experimental animals.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on public health. Immune resistance was a crucial factor in the pandemic era considering all diseases that arise as self-limiting diseases. Food as a source of nutrients had a vital role as an immunomodulator. As an agricultural country with food production commodities that were still massive, agricultural products are needed to develop food innovations, such as purple corn. One of the nutritional contents of purple corn was the flavonoid group in the form of anthocyanin compounds as a source of antioxidants to increase the body's immunity and prevent diseases caused by viruses, fungi, and bacteria, as well as prevent atherosclerosis, gastric damage, cholesterol, obesity, and others. Anthocyanin compounds in purple corn 70mg/100 grams. Anthocyanins in purple corn are processed into healthy food in ice cream with the product label "Purple Corn Ice Cream". This research aims to help people choose food innovations that can help them increase their immunity in the Covid-19 pandemic era. This ice cream product was formulated and has gone through several tests. The anthocyanin test results showed that the sample contained anthocyanins. The sensory test results stated that this product had a soft texture, milky smell, light purple colour, and sweet taste, so it was accepted and received a positive response from the community. Based on the total questionnaire assessment results, 88% of respondents. Purple Corn Ice Cream was expected to be a nutritious food innovation, popular with people regardless of age, practical, and durable with the content of flavonoid anthocyanin compounds in purple corn, which can improve the body's immune system during a pandemic.
