Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant content and organoleptic properties of herbal tea using a mixture of secang wood and stevia leaves. The sample preparation method involves separation based on wetness level, washing, drying, and grinding to powder. Phytochemical tests showed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids and steroids in both samples. The water content test shows the value is in accordance with the quality standards for packaged dry tea. Antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH method, and the herbal wedang formulation with a proportion of 1:1 (FIII) showed the highest antioxidant activity of 76%. Organoleptic tests showed that the panelists really liked the color, aroma and taste of the FIII formulation. The overall results show that the FIII formulation is the best choice with high antioxidant content and good acceptance from consumers.

Abstract

Balm is one of the pharmaceutical products with an ointment base that uses essential oils as one of the ingredients in its formulation. One of the essential oils found in Indonesia is Eucalyptus resinifera essential oil. In Indonesia, the use of E. resinifera leaf essential oil in balm stick formulations has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to formulate and characterize a balm stick preparation from E. resinifera leaf essential oil for the development of health products. The methods used included the formulation of E. resinifera essential oil balm with four essential oil concentrations (0%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) and evaluation of the preparations through homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, pH, and skin irritation tests. The results showed that the best formula was Formula III, containing 20% essential oil, which met the requirements for a good balm preparation based on the results of the homogeneity test (homogeneous), spreadability test (3.9 cm), adhesion test (>1 minute), pH test (4.6), and skin irritation test (no irritation observed), and was also the most preferred according to the organoleptic test.

Abstract

This study examines students' motivation to use TikTok as a language-learning medium and explores how the quality of TikTok content influences their motivation to learn English. The focus is on intrinsic motivations such as enjoyment, curiosity, and personal interest, as well as extrinsic motivations such as academic goals, career preparation, and social recognition. A qualitative research design was chosen, comprising interviews with three students in the English Language Teaching program at Tadulako University. The results showed that the participants used TikTok because of its short, engaging, and interactive video format, which made learning more entertaining and less formal. Intrinsically, they experienced increased interest and satisfaction when engaging with creative English content. Extrinsically, they were motivated by the desire to improve their language skills, achieve academic success, and prepare for a future career as an English teacher. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the quality of TikTok content significantly influenced students' motivation. Clear, concise, and well-structured learning content promotes understanding and confidence, while content that was overly entertainment-oriented or unclear can reduce learning effectiveness. Overall, the study concluded that TikTok could serve as a supportive learning medium when students intentionally selected high-quality educational content to support their language learning goals.
