Abstract

The study purple sweet potato is known to contain flavonoids, a class of natural polyphenols with the capability to mitigate skin pigmentation. The research aims to assess the antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of purple sweet potato extracts obtained through hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and water solvents. The results of phytochemical identification show that the extract contains various secondary metabolites which have the potential to act as antioxidants. The DPPH method IC50 values of 6948.12ppm for n-hexane, 3015.19ppm for ethyl acetate, 128.05ppm for ethanol, and 791.77ppm for water extract. The MDA inhibitor test IC50 values of 2067.02ppm for n-hexane, 1968.13ppm for ethyl acetate, 116.14ppm for ethanol, and 921.14ppm for water extract. In the tyrosinase inhibitor assay, IC50 values were 1328.29ppm for n-hexane, 1245.13ppm for ethyl acetate, 217.35ppm for ethanol, and 391.21ppm for water extract. Tuckey test statistics, ethanol extract was not significantly different from the positive control in the DPPH test, MDA inhibitor and tyrosinase test. These findings suggest that purple sweet potato extracts, particularly the ethanol extract, hold promise as natural ingredients with antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory properties, making them potential candidates for safe and effective skin brightening formulations.

Abstract

Alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity needs to be inhibited to avoid increasing blood sugar levels in diabetics. Red betel leaf extract is reported to have active compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids that have alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity. Previous research showed that 70% betel leaf extract has an ɑ-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity of 69.84%, but it is not yet known how the effect of extracts with different levels of polarity on the inhibition activity of alpha-glucosidase enzyme. This study aimed to determine extracts that have optimal levels of phenolic and flavonoid content and the highest suppression of α-glucosidase activity. The multistage maceration method was used to extract red betel leaf simplicia using solvents with different levels of polarity (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol). Tests were conducted on overall phenolic concentration, flavonoids, and ɑ-glucosidase inhibition ability. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test with Tukey's further test (p<0.05). The results of the assessment of phenolic concentration, flavonoids, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity as a whole showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in all extracts with the highest total phenolic and flavonoid content found in the n-hexane extract of 25.68 ± 0.29 mg GAE/g and 65.84 ± 0.96 mg QE/g respectively. Meanwhile, methanol extract of red betel leaf became the best extract in this study with the greatest inhibition among all extracts with a percent α-glucosidase inhibition value of 43.87 ± 1.83%.

Abstract

Toona sureni (Blume) Merr., known as Indonesian mahogany, is valued for its wood, while its leaves are used as vegetables and animal feed. However, its medicinal potential remains underexplored. This study evaluated the antibacterial and tyrosinase inhibitory activities of T. sureni leaf extracts from 16-, 27-, and 34-year-old trees. Extraction was performed by maceration using methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane for antibacterial testing; and 30, 70, and 96% ethanol for tyrosinase inhibition. Total alkaloid content was determined using the bromocresol green method, while antibacterial activity was assessed by disc diffusion and MIC, and tyrosinase inhibition by spectrophotometry using kojic acid as a control. It revealed a 3.83% alkaloid content in the 70% ethanolic leaves extract of the 34-year-old tree. The 96% ethanolic extract from 16-year-old leaves exhibited the highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity at 86.66% with an IC50 value of 53.71±1.04 μg/mL. Antibacterial tests revealed that the methanol extract of 16-year-old trees inhibited Staphylococcus aureus (17.73 mm) and Propionibacterium acnes (15.80 mm) at 10,000 μg/mL, with MIC of 1000 and 500 μg/mL, respectively. These results suggest that the extract of 16-year-old tree has both antibacterial and tyrosinase inhibitory effects, with greater potential for cosmetic use, particularly in anti-acne and skin-brightening products.

Abstract

Stres oksidatif menghasilkan malondialdehida (MDA) sebagai produk peroksidasi lipid yang sering digunakan sebagai biomarker kerusakan oksidatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pengukuran kadar MDA pada ekstrak teh hijau (Camellia sinensis) menggunakan spektrofotometer konvensional (kuvet) dan nano spektrofotometer (mikroplat 96 sumur). Ekstrak diperoleh melalui maserasi etanol 70% dengan rendemen rata-rata 36,14%. Penentuan MDA dilakukan dengan metode asam tiobarbiturat (TBA), dengan panjang gelombang maksimum 532 nm pada kedua instrumen. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kadar MDA absolut berbeda signifikan antara kedua instrumen, di mana nilai absorbansi dan konsentrasi MDA pada nano spektrofotometer lebih rendah. Namun, analisis persen inhibisi dan IC50 tidak menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan (IC50 kuvet 83,997 ppm; nano spektrofotometer 83,065 ppm; p > 0,05), menandakan konsistensi dalam menilai aktivitas antioksidan relatif. Dari aspek efisiensi, nano spektrofotometer memerlukan volume sampel dan reagen lebih kecil (100 µL dan 200 µL), mengurangi limbah kimia, serta menurunkan biaya analisis hingga 71% dibandingkan kuvet. Selain itu, kapasitas analisis meningkat hingga 96 sampel per batch dengan waktu lebih singkat. Kesimpulannya, nano spektrofotometer memberikan hasil komparatif yang valid dan lebih efisien, sehingga layak direkomendasikan untuk analisis MDA di laboratorium dengan keterbatasan sumber daya.

Abstract

Indonesia menghadapi tantangan besar dalam mewujudkan generasi yang sehat, cerdas, dan produktif menuju Indonesia Emas 2045, dengan prevalensi stunting nasional yang masih mencapai 19,8% pada tahun 2024. Peningkatan gizi sejak dini melalui pangan lokal bergizi tinggi seperti tempe, sebagai sumber protein nabati, merupakan solusi yang efektif. Program pemberdayaan masyarakat di Desa Cipalaha, Garut, melibatkan ibu dengan anak usia 0–5 tahun, ibu hamil, serta kader Posyandu dan PKK. Kegiatan meliputi penilaian status gizi anak, edukasi gizi dan stunting, pelatihan pembuatan nugget tempe dan sari kedelai, serta evaluasi melalui kuesioner orang tua, wawancara, dan uji organoleptik. Hasil menunjukkan 24% balita tergolong pendek atau sangat pendek, dan seluruh anak di atas lima tahun memiliki berat badan kurang, menandakan kekurangan energi kronis. Tingkat pendidikan, pekerjaan, dan pendapatan orang tua berpengaruh kuat terhadap risiko stunting. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan motivasi peserta dalam memproduksi serta mengonsumsi olahan tempe bergizi tinggi dengan tingkat penerimaan yang baik. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya inovasi pangan lokal dan pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam mendukung pertumbuhan anak dan tujuan Indonesia Emas 2045.

Abstract

This research explored how varying tea substrates (green, black, and white) affected the phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of kombucha fermented with SCOBY. Four samples were prepared, including a control (no tea) and kombucha made from green, black, and white tea bases. The results showed that black tea kombucha had the highest levels of antioxidant compounds and activity. The DPPH assay revealed that black tea kombucha exhibited the highest antioxidant activity; a percent inhibition of 88.285 ± 2.196% and an IC50 value of 30.835 ± 1.340 µL/ml. Additionally, black tea kombucha had the highest total phenolic content (921.282 ± 38.075 mg GAE/L) and total flavonoid content (421.818 ± 24.052 mg QE/L). The type of tea used significantly impacted the final total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and overall antioxidant activity of the resulting kombucha. Furthermore, the fermentation process also led to consistent decreases in pH and density across all samples. These comparative data offer valuable insight for optimizing tea-based kombucha formulations for functional food and beverage applications.
