Abstract

The basil plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family and contains various active compounds, including phenols, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils. These compounds have antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, two types of bacteria that can cause bad breath. The addition of basil essential oil to hard candy has the potential to reduce bad breath. This study aimed to determine the concentration effect of basil essential oil on hard candy in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans and its acceptance by the panelists. This research was conducted with five treatments with variations in the concentration of basil essential oil, which were 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1%. The results showed that the higher basil essential oil concentration in hard candy inhibited the growth of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. The best treatment was at 0.75% basil essential oil, with sensory panelist acceptance for color 69%, aroma 57%, taste 43%, and overall 58%. Several compounds in basil essential oil, including linalool, eugenol, caryophyllene, and trans-α-bergamotene, are thought to contribute to the ability of this candy to inhibit microbial growth.

Abstract

This study contributed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of kappa carrageenan on the physicochemical and sensory properties of Arumanis mango (Mangifera indica L.) jelly drink. Kappa carrageenan, a sulphated polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed, is widely used in the food industry as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent. Arumanis mango, known for its sweet taste and strong aroma, has limited natural pectin content, thus requiring additional hydrocolloids for gel formation. Four concentrations of kappa carrageenan (0.35%, 0.40%, 0.45%, and 0.50%) were tested using a Completely Randomized Design with five replications. Physicochemical parameters (syneresis, viscosity, pH and moisture content) and sensory attributes (texture, taste, aroma, color, and overall acceptance) were evaluated. Results showed that carrageenan concentration significantly (p<0.05) influenced all tested parameters. Increasing carrageenan levels enhanced viscosity and pH while reducing syneresis moisture content. Sensory analysis revealed that the 0.40% carrageenan treatment (P2) produced the most desirable texture and overall acceptability. This study highlights that the optimal carrageenan concentration ensures a balance between physicochemical stability and consumer preference, contributing new insight into the development of high-quality jelly drinks from local mango varieties.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of instilling religious moderation values within educational environments, particularly at MTsN 16 Jombang, which is situated in a diverse community. The objective of the research is to explore the process of embedding religious moderation values, the role of teachers and the school environment in supporting this effort, as well as students’ perspectives on the importance of adopting a moderate attitude in daily life. The study also identifies the challenges faced in shaping tolerant students capable of living harmoniously amidst diversity. Using a qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, the study finds that MTsN 16 Jombang promotes religious moderation through regular religious activities, teacher role modeling, and instructional practices that emphasize tolerance and inclusivity. Students demonstrate understanding and a positive attitude toward religious moderation values. However, the school faces challenges such as its remote geographical location and external influences that conflict with the principles of moderation. The study concludes that the implementation of religious moderation at MTsN 16 Jombang is effectively carried out through integrated strategies embedded in school life, with teachers and a supportive environment playing crucial roles in fostering inclusive character. The findings imply that religious moderation education must continue to be strengthened as part of broader efforts to build a tolerant and peaceful society.
