Abstract

Current developments in food processing technology have made many food producers create variations in food products. Variations can include adding attractive food colorings so that consumers become enthusiastic. This good development is also disrupted because there are still some food producers who add synthetic food coloring which is not permitted to be used in food products. This happens because of a lack of knowledge and the desire of producers to make more profits, without thinking about the health impacts on the community. Synthetic dyes have a bad impact on human health, especially if they are not intended as food additives. Rhodamine-B is a synthetic dye that gives a bright red color to most cosmetic products. Rhodamine-B can irritate the gastric mucosa, eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, and trigger liver cancer. This type of research is quantitative using experimental methods in the laboratory. The samples tested were chili sauces with 5 different brands circulating in the Tanjung Morawa traditional market. Qualitative analysis using TLC was used to identify the presence of rhodamine-B in chili sauce. Comparative rhodamine-B levels and chili sauce were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a maximum lambda of 545 nm. Chili sauces A, B, and D contain rhodamine-B dye as proven by TLC stains with Rf 0.92; 0.95; and 0.92. The linear regression equation obtained from the relationship between standard concentration and absorbance data is y = 0.0091x-0.009 with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9988. Rhodamine-B levels in each chili sauce A, B, and D include 0.548; 0.505; and 0.496 mg/g. Regulation Number 722/Menkes/Per/IX/88 emphasizes that rhodamine-B is not permitted in food products because it is dangerous for body health.

Abstract

Skin care has become an important part for today's women. Whitening body lotion is very necessary in maintaining skin when doing activities outside and indoors. Many Indonesian women desire to have white, clean and bright skin so they can appear attractive. An attractive appearance is very necessary in society. To achieve this, many women choose skin care products at affordable prices without paying attention to the dangers of the chemical content in them. One of the skin whitening ingredients that is often used in beauty products is the compound hydroquinone. The hydroquinone compound plays a role in preventing skin pigmentation. However, if the levels exceed 0.02% in the preparation, it will cause skin irritation, kidney function disorders and cancer. The type of research is a mixed type, namely qualitative and quantitative. Qualitatively, it will obtain data on the presence of hydroquinone and quantitatively in the form of hydroquinone levels. The samples were 5 whitening body lotion preparations circulating in Lubuk Pakam which were determined randomly and were coded A, B, C, D, and E. Qualitative analysis was carried out using the TLC method and quantitative analysis was carried out using the UV-spectrophotometric method. Visible. The results of qualitative analysis show that samples A, C, and D contain hydroquinone compounds which are characterized by the appearance of blackish brown spots with respective Rf values of 0.89; 0.96; and 0.89. Meanwhile, when qualitative analysis was carried out, the levels obtained for the three samples were 44.56% each; 5,604%; and 5,612%. Based on regulations issued by BPOM RI in 2022, it is stated that hydroquinone levels in beauty products must not exceed 0.02%. So it can be concluded that whitening body lotion preparations with sample codes A, C, and D are not recommended for use because the use limit for hydroquinone is classified as unsafe. It is recommended that people, especially women, be more selective in choosing and using beauty products.

Abstract

The exploration and utilization of herbal medicines continue to expand due to the presence of plant-derived secondary metabolites, which have been proven to prevent and treat various diseases with minimal side effects. One plant widely recognized for its medicinal properties is Physalis angulata L. (commonly known as ciplukan). Despite its frequent use in traditional medicine, particularly its leaves, limited studies have focused on the isolation of flavonoid compounds from this part of the plant. The isolation and structural elucidation of these flavonoids are essential to identify the bioactive compounds responsible for the plant's pharmacological effects. This study aimed to isolate and elucidate the chemical structure of flavonoid compounds from P. angulata leaf extract. The powdered leaves were subjected to maceration, solvent partitioning, phytochemical screening, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and compound isolation using column chromatography. The isolated compounds were then characterized using UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS). The flavonoid compound isolated in this study was identified as quercetin (C??H??O?), a member of the flavonol subclass. It exhibited a molecular mass of 302 g/mol and showed maximum absorbance at wavelengths of 372.5 nm and 305.5 nm. Spectroscopic analyses revealed the presence of functional groups including C–O, C=C, C=O, CH, and OH, as well as 10 hydrogen and 15 carbon atoms in the NMR spectra. Based on these data, the isolated compound was confirmed to be 3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone, commonly known as quercetin, with the molecular formula C??H??O?.

Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the key contributors to the deterioration of skin structure and function. Its harmful effects include premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and increased risk of skin cancer. One of the underlying mechanisms of this damage is the formation of free radicals, which trigger oxidative stress, compromise cellular integrity, and reduce the skin’s natural defense capacity. The use of skin protection products such as sunscreen serves as a preventive measure in daily skincare routines. This community service (PkM) activity was conducted through an interactive model of education and demonstration, aimed at enhancing public knowledge and awareness regarding the benefits of natural antioxidants available in sunscreen gel formulations derived from green tea leaf extract. The program was designed with an educational and participatory approach, in which the materials were delivered through theoretical explanations and simple practical demonstrations. The participants consisted of 25 individuals, both male and female, aged between 17 and 40 years, residing in the Lubuk Pakam area. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, with an average post-test score of 89.98 compared to a pre-test score of 56.05 indicating a substantial knowledge gain of 33.93 points, which falls into the "very high" category. This community outreach proved effective in increasing public understanding of the use of natural antioxidants in sunscreen products. Furthermore, participant satisfaction was remarkably high, with an average satisfaction rating of 96.4%, categorized as "Very Satisfied." In conclusion, this PkM activity successfully enhanced the participants’ knowledge regarding natural skin protection strategies, and participants expressed strong satisfaction with the implementation of the program.

Abstract

Rice straw is an abundant agricultural by-product commonly used as livestock feed or burned as waste. It contains cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and silica, which can be processed into activated carbon capable of adsorbing impurities and excess oil from the skin. To date, the utilization of rice straw has been limited mainly to compost fertilizer and planting media. Meanwhile, facial cleansing soaps made from natural extracts, eco-friendly ingredients, and affordable materials are increasingly popular. The objective of this study was to produce activated carbon from rice straw and apply it in the formulation of a facial cleansing soap product.This research employed an experimental laboratory approach with a quantitative descriptive method to determine the effectiveness of rice straw–based activated carbon in facial soap formulations. The procedure began with the carbonization of rice straw powder, followed by characterization of the activated carbon through moisture content analysis, ash content test, and FT-IR functional group analysis. The liquid soap was formulated into three variations and evaluated for its quality through organoleptic observation, pH measurement, cleansing ability test, and oil adsorption test.The results showed that activated carbon derived from rice straw had a moisture content of 8.92%, ash content of 7.68%, and exhibited functional groups such as –OH, aliphatic C–H, aromatic C=C, aldehyde C=O, and alcohol C–O based on FT-IR analysis. The facial soap formulations containing rice straw–based activated carbon demonstrated safe pH values—F1 = 5.46, F2 = 6.04, and F3 = 6.8—and exhibited enhanced cleansing and oil-adsorbing properties, with the highest oil adsorption value reaching 86%. These findings indicate that activated carbon from rice straw can be effectively applied in the formulation of facial cleansing soap that is safe and beneficial for skin health.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that requires appropriate solutions for its management. To date, synthetic antidiabetic drugs frequently cause side effects in the body. The search for natural antidiabetic agents has therefore been carried out by exploring the potential of mundu leaves, which are considered safer as they originate from natural sources. Mundu leaves contain flavonoids, phenols, and tannins, which may act as natural antidiabetic agents due to their richness in hydroxyl and aromatic compounds. Antioxidant compounds play a role in protecting body cells from oxidative stress, which is strongly associated with diabetes. Several species from the Garcinia genus have been studied, but to date, no research has focused on the antidiabetic potential of mundu leaves. Through assays of mundu leaf extract in inhibiting α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes, as well as antioxidant tests, DM could potentially be better controlled, providing a reference for its use as a natural antidiabetic and antioxidant agent. Mundu leaves were prepared and macerated using ethanol as a solvent, followed by evaporation with a rotary evaporator. Phytochemical screening was conducted to detect the presence of active compounds. The inhibitory activity of mundu leaf extract against α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes was measured using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer to obtain absorbance values. The absorbance data were then used to determine the percentage of inhibition, allowing the calculation of IC50 values as a benchmark for antidiabetic activity. The results demonstrated that the mundu leaf extract exhibited antidiabetic properties, with IC50 values of 51.058 ppm and 33.004 ppm, categorized as strong and very strong, respectively.
