Abstract

Loloh is a traditional herbal beverage specifically produced by the Balinese community to prevent and treat various ailments. One example of loloh used for health maintenance can be formulated from a mixture of jempiring leaves (Gardenia jasminoides), pegagan leaves (Centella asiatica), katuk leaves (Breynia androgyna), and coconut water (Cocos nucifera). A major challenge in loloh production is the risk of microbial contamination. This study aims to examine the physical characteristics, bioactive compound profile, and microbiological quality of loloh formulated from a combination of jempiring leaves (G. jasminoides), pegagan leaves (C. asiatica), katuk leaves (B. androgyna), and coconut water (C. nucifera). The research employed an experimental design with a descriptive approach. Observed variables included organoleptic characteristics (color, form, odor), pH, microbiological parameters (total plate count [TPC] and yeast and mold count [YMC]), and phytochemical screening of the loloh preparation. The samples used in this study were loloh packaged in 250 ml bottles. A total of six bottles were used, with five allocated for microbiological testing and one for phytochemical screening. The resulting loloh exhibited a brown color, a distinctive odor, and a pH of 6. All five microbiological samples showed microbial contamination exceeding the permissible limits, with TPC values surpassing 10⁶ CFU/g and YMC values exceeding 10⁴ CFU/g. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids. It can be concluded that loloh is rich in bioactive compounds; however, hygienic practices and microbiological safety must be carefully considered, particularly during production and packaging processes.

Abstract

Red dragon fruit skin (Hylocereus lemairei) contains flavonoid compounds (polyphenols), and vitamins C and E which play the main role as antioxidants, so they are good for moisturizing, nourishing, and maintaining skin health. Lip balm is a cosmetic preparation with main components such as waxes, fats, and oils from natural or synthesized extracts to prevent dryness by increasing lip moisture. The stability of preparation is very important in maintaining the physical quality of the preparation until it reaches the consumer. This study aims to determine the concentration of Cera alba as a stiffening agent needed to produce lip balm preparations of red dragon fruit skin extract (Hylocereus lemairei) with good physical quality. The response observed was the physical quality of the lip balm preparation which included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, adhesion, and mechanical strength of the lip balm. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. This research begins with the extraction process of red dragon fruit skin using an ultrasonic wave-assisted maceration method using 96% ethanol and 1% HCl. In this study, a lip balm formulation was made from red dragon fruit peel extract with various concentrations of Cera alba 5% (F1), 10% (F2), and 15% (F3) as a stiffening agent. The resulting preparations were stored for 28 days, and their physical quality was observed. The results showed that lip balm preparations F3 produced good physical quality of lip balm preparations during storage. Dragon fruit peel extract can be properly formulated using Cera alba at a concentration of 15% to become a lip balm preparation that has high-quality physical characteristics and has the potential to be developed into a cosmetic preparation that is able to maintain skin moisture, especially the lips.
