Abstract

Belsasikuntas is a functional beverage made from a mixture of Wuluh star fruit, bay leaves, betel leaves, turmeric, and beluntas leaves. This study aims to analyze its polyphenol and vitamin C content using the Folin-Ciocalteu method for polyphenols and the iodometry method for vitamin C. Additionally, an organoleptic evaluation was conducted to assess color, aroma, and taste. Polyphenol and vitamin C content were tested both with and without dilution. For the diluted samples, a Completely Randomized Design method was applied with four concentration levels and five repetitions. The results for the undiluted samples showed that the highest polyphenol content (81.43 mg/100 mL) was observed at 5 mL, while the lowest (80.88 mg/100 mL) was recorded at 15 mL. The highest vitamin C content (48.01 mg/100 mL) was found at 15 mL, whereas the lowest (47.89 mg/100 mL) was at 5 mL. In diluted samples, the highest polyphenol content (81.36 mg/100 mL) was observed at 20 mL, while the lowest (27.54 mg/100 mL) was at 5 mL. The highest vitamin C content (47.93 mg/100 mL) was recorded at 20 mL, whereas the lowest (11.10 mg/100 mL) was found at 5 mL. The results indicate that polyphenol and vitamin C content decrease as more water is added. The organoleptic evaluation yielded a total public acceptance score of 100%, with 62% for color, 11% for taste, and 27% for fragrance. These findings suggest that Belsasikuntas has potential as a functional health drink with favorable consumer acceptability. Keywords: Belsasikuntas, Health Drink, Polyphenol, Vitamin C

Abstract

The research consists of two stages, the first being the development of LOF production from water hyacinth and banana peel applied to ginger plants. The purpose of the study is to determine the extent to which the application of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) can enhance the early growth of ginger plants. The second is the cultivation of ginger plants by applying various types of LOF compared to ginger plants without LOF application. The research was conducted from the end of August to November 2025 in Banjar Poh Village, Sidoarjo District, Sidoarjo Regency.  Research hypothesis: (1) It is suspected that different LOF applications will result in different early growth in ginger plants, (2) it is suspected that the use of banana peel LOF provides better early growth in ginger plants compared to other treatments. The study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) method with one factor consisting of 4 treatments. The treatment involved the provision of types of LOF, namely P1 = without LOF; P2 = LOF water hyacinth; and P3 = LOF banana peel P4 = EM4 (Effective Microorganisms 4). Each treatment was repeated 3 times, and each repetition had 3 plant samples. Observations of the early growth of ginger plants include shoot height, number of shoots, and number of leaves. The obtained data were analyzed using analysis of variance, and if there were significant differences, it was followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at 5%.
