Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia possesses high biodiversity, including the Jatropha multifida L. plant, which contains secondary metabolites with potential antimicrobial properties. Traditionally, the leaves of Jatropha multifida have been used as herbal medicine, particularly for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Objective: This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content in the ethanol extract of Jatropha multifida leaves and to compare the effectiveness of two extraction methods, maceration and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans. Methods: The research stages included the characterization of the powdered simplicia, extraction of Jatropha multifida leaves using 96% ethanol by maceration and MAE methods, and phytochemical screening. The total flavonoid content was determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 431 nm. Antifungal activity against Candida albicans was tested for each extract at specific concentrations. Results: The ethanol extract obtained through maceration showed a total flavonoid content of 34.7089 ± 0.1206 mg QE/g, while the MAE method yielded 32.1923 ± 0.1113 mg QE/g. The highest antifungal activity was observed in the MAE extract at a 75% concentration, producing an inhibition zone of 24.7 mm. The maceration extract at the same concentration produced an inhibition zone of 23.7 mm. As a positive control, 2% ketoconazole resulted in an inhibition zone of 31.4 mm. Conclusion: Although the maceration method produced a higher total flavonoid content, the extract obtained through the MAE method demonstrated more potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans at the same concentration.

Abstract

Background: Bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) have long been used in traditional medicine due to their bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, tannins, and vitamin C. Fermenting bidara leaves into kombucha has the potential to enhance antioxidant activity through bioconversion processes carried out by starter microbes (Acetobacter xylinum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). However, scientific data regarding the vitamin C profile and antioxidant activity of bidara leaf kombucha remain limited. Objective: This study aims to analyze the vitamin C content and antioxidant activity of bidara leaf herbal kombucha, as well as to characterize the quality of the simplisia based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 4324:2014. Methods: This descriptive study involved: (1) preparation of bidara leaf simplisia, (2) 12-day kombucha fermentation, (3) phytochemical screening, (4) determination of vitamin C content using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (λ = 266 nm), and (5) antioxidant activity assay using the DPPH method (λ = 517 nm). Results: The bidara leaf simplisia met the SNI quality standards, with a moisture content of 5.33% and a total ash content of 6.73%. Phytochemical screening identified the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, glycosides, steroids/triterpenoids, and alkaloids. The vitamin C content of the kombucha was 0.009 mg/g, while the IC₅₀ value for antioxidant activity was 621.2158 µg/mL, which falls into the weak category. Conclusion: Bidara leaf kombucha contains bioactive compounds and vitamin C, with weak antioxidant activity. Fermentation increases antioxidant activity compared to non-fermented bidara tea infusion (IC₅₀ = 1129.0069 µg/mL), although it remains lower than that of pure vitamin C (IC₅₀ = 3.0710 µg/mL).

Abstract

Background: Rice bran is commonly utilized only as animal feed and is often regarded as a byproduct of rice milling. However, rice bran contains flavonoid compounds that exhibit antibacterial activity. This study aims to explore the potential of rice bran as an antibacterial agent, specifically against Staphylococcus aureus, through antibacterial activity testing and analysis of cell membrane leakage mechanisms. Objective: This research aims to utilize rice bran by evaluating its antibacterial activity and its mechanism of bacterial membrane leakage against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: This experimental study involved the collection of rice bran samples, plant determination, simplicia characterization, and extraction using maceration with 96% ethanol. Phytochemical screening was conducted to identify active compounds, while antibacterial activity was tested using the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) at concentrations of 10%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 70%, and 80%. The membrane leakage mechanism was assessed by measuring nucleic acid and protein leakage (UV-Vis spectrophotometry) as well as Ca²⁺ and K⁺ ion release (atomic absorption spectrophotometry, AAS). Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS. Results: The ethanolic extract of rice bran yielded a 26.38% extraction yield and contained secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids/steroids, and glycosides. The antibacterial assay revealed inhibition zones classified as strong activity. Furthermore, rice bran extract induced membrane leakage in S. aureus, evidenced by increased mean absorbance values and standard deviations for DNA, protein (UV-Vis spectrophotometry), and Ca²⁺ and K⁺ ions (atomic absorption spectrophotometry) with rising extract concentrations. Conclusion: Rice bran exhibits potential as an antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus through a membrane leakage mechanism. These findings support the utilization of rice bran not only as animal feed but also as a source of bioactive antimicrobial compounds.

Abstract

Background: Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin deacetylation, shows potential as a natural edible coating to extend the shelf life of perishable fruits. Utilizing giant African snail (Achatina fulica) shells as a chitosan source offers a sustainable solution to reduce biological waste while replacing synthetic chemicals in food preservation. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of snail shell chitosan as an edible coating in maintaining the physicochemical quality of tamarillo (Solanum betaceum) during storage. Methods: Chitosan was isolated from snail shells and applied at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested using the disc diffusion method. Physicochemical parameters including weight loss, moisture loss, color, pH, total acidity, vitamin C content, and total soluble solids (TSS) were measured over 7 days of storage. Results: Chitosan demonstrated strong to very strong antibacterial activity, with the largest inhibition zones at 30% concentration (29 mm for S. aureus; 33.8 mm for P. aeruginosa). The 30% chitosan treatment yielded optimal results: lowest weight loss (3.15%), moisture loss (5.75%), pH (7.72), total acidity (16.44%), and TSS (1.350). Vitamin C retention was significantly higher in the 30% chitosan group (551.47 mg/100g) compared to control (416.53 mg/100g), confirming its effectiveness in inhibiting oxidation. Conclusion: 30% snail shell chitosan proved effective as an edible coating for maintaining tamarillo's physicochemical quality, while providing a natural and sustainable solution for the food industry.
