Abstract

One of the efforts to break the chain of transmission of Covid-19 is to maintain cleanliness using an antiseptic to wash hands and body parts, as well as disinfectants that are sprayed or rubbed on various inanimate objects that may be exposed to the virus. However, there are still many people who are mistaken about using antiseptics and disinfectants, such as using antiseptics to clean items and the phenomenon of massive spraying of disinfectants in various places, even directly on humans. Apart from that, the lack of skills in making simple disinfectant fluids independently is also one of the triggering factors for the low level of concern in protecting the surrounding environment. The purpose of this activity is to educate the public about the correct use of antiseptics and disinfectants and to be able to utilize carbolic acid and liquid bleach to become simple disinfectants. This activity was carried out in Balai Baru Village, Kuranji District, Padang City. The method used in this activity is the presentation of the principles of the proper use of disinfectants and antiseptics as well as direct demonstrations of making simple disinfectants. The results of the activity are increased public understanding of the proper use of disinfectants and antiseptics as well as increased community skills in utilizing carbolic acid and clothing bleach into simple disinfectants. This activity is expected to be a reference in making simple disinfectants that are economical, environmentally friendly, and can be made by anyone. It is hoped that the chain of transmission of Covid-19 can be minimized.

Abstract

Low public literacy regarding the utilization of medicinal plants as functional foods remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas. In fact, Curcuma xanthorrhiza (temulawak) and Zingiber officinale (ginger) contain bioactive compounds such as curcumin, gingerol, and shogaol, which have been proven to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunostimulant effects. This community service program aimed to improve public knowledge and skills in processing these two herbs into functional gummy candies that are more practical, palatable, and economically valuable. The program was conducted in May 2025 in Nagari Sipinang, Agam Regency, involving 40 participants ranging from productive-age adults to the elderly. A participatory approach was applied, including pre-test, interactive lectures, group discussions, hands-on gummy preparation, quizzes, post-test, and mentoring. Evaluation instruments consisted of knowledge questionnaires, interactive quizzes, and skill observations. Success indicators included increased health literacy, practical skills, and interest in product development. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, from 40% before the intervention to 85% afterward. More than 80% of participants were able to explain the health benefits of temulawak and ginger, and actively engaged in the gummy preparation process. Enthusiasm was also reflected in the high participation rate during discussions and quizzes, along with the expressed interest in developing gummy products as potential local businesses. In conclusion, an integrated educational program combined with practical training effectively enhanced community health literacy and skills. The innovation of temulawak–ginger gummy not only supports immune health but also offers potential economic opportunities through locally based functional food products.
