Abstract

The use of medicinal plants as ingredients in making drinks in cafes is increasing along with the number of cafes. Herbal café makes a unique menu using medicinal plants in drink recipes to produce a distinctive taste, color, and aroma. This research aims to identify visitor profiles and drink menus made from medicinal plants and explore the understanding of visitors and cafe owners regarding the benefits of medicinal plants added to drinks. The research data collection technique uses a questionnaire equipped with an interview sheet. The questionnaires and interview sheets used have been tested for language comprehension and validity. The research was conducted at 272 cafes in Depok District, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, data was collected after obtaining ethical clearance approval from the Health Research Ethics Committee Team. Data was obtained through filling out surveys by visitors and cafe owners, complemented by interviews with cafe owners. Data was collected three times: August, September, and October 2023. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and qualitatively. Most herbal cafe visitors (70%) are aged between 21–30 years with the majority of professions (44%) being students. The source of information about herbal cafe menus was mostly obtained (56%) from friends or family, and the frequency of visits to cafes was mostly (82%) between 1–5 times per month. More than 98% of visitors stated the benefits of medicinal plants in the drink menu, namely as a refresher or body warmer. There are 14 types of medicinal plants used as ingredients in the herbal cafe's drink menu, with a total monthly requirement for all medicinal plants of 545.1 kilograms; ginger ranks among the highest requirements. Recipe information for the menu was obtained from the family, the Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia website, and the herbal cafe owner made the recipe independently.

Abstract

Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) has been proven to show anticancer activity. Direct use bioactive compound from red ginger has many obstacles such as large amount of red ginger’s rhizome needed, limitation of planting area, and very long time of harvesting. Utilization of endophytic fungi from red ginger’s rhizome could be an alternative to the problems. The aims of this study were to determine bioactive compound produced by endophytic fungi and toxicity activity based on LC50. Endophytic fungi were isolated from red ginger and were identified macroscopically and microscopically. The bioactive compounds were extracted using ethanol 96%. Flavonoid test was done qualitatively, bioactive compounds were analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), and the toxicity test was done using Brine Shrimp Lethality Assay (BSLA). The present research found two endophytic fungi isolated from red ginger rhizome. Isolate 1 was similar to Mucor sp. and isolate 2 was similar to Trichoderma sp. Phytochemical test revealed bioactive compound extracted from the isolates were contained flavonoid. TLC analysis did not detect quercetin from the bioactive compound extracted from the isolates. LC50 values of the bioactive compound from the isolates were 2.300 and 1.747 µg/ml, respectively. The toxicological results suggest that both isolates produce non-toxic compound to Artemia salina.
