Abstract

The high number of free radicals that are not balanced with the amount of antioxidants in the body triggers oxidative stress. Oxidative stress causes impaired vascular function, damage to proteins and lipids in membrane cell, and nucleic acid (DNA) mutations. Chronic cell damage has a negative effect on tissue that triggers various diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's), cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and others), cataracts, retinal damage, maculopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, stroke, diabetes mellitus , immunodepression, cancer, aging, hyperoxia, dermatitis, and others. The application of a healthy lifestyle for example by consuming food sources of bioactive compounds can minimize health risks. Rice is the staple food of the Indonesian people. Some types of rice contain red and black pigments which are known to have high antioxidant activity compared to white rice. The pigment comes from anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin. Various studies in vitro and in vivo prove that anthocyanin and proantocyanidine act as antioxidants and potency as a preventative for various diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes mellitus, and etc.

Abstract

Letak geografis Desa Punagaya yang berbatasan dengan laut menjadikan sebagian besar masyarakatnya bekerja sebagai petani rumput laut. Sayangnya, rumput laut yang dihasilkan masih sebatas dijual dalam bentuk segar maupun kering. Ibu-ibu rumah tangga Desa Punagaya hanya sekedar membantu suaminya dalam penyiapan benih dan menyortir rumput laut. Padahal ibu rumah tangga memiliki peranan yang penting dalam mendukung perekonomian rumah tangga. Masyarakat setempat belum pernah mengonsumsi ataupun mengolah rumput laut yang dibudidayakannya sendiri karena tidak mengetahui cara pengolahannya. Oleh karena itu, tujuan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk transfer pengetahuan dan teknologi mengenai manfaat dan cara pemanfaatan rumput laut (memperkenalkan produk-produk diversitas rumput laut) dan praktik pembuatan olahan rumput laut hingga cara pengemasannya. Metode yang digunakan pada pengabdian ini adalah sosialisasi, diskusi interaktif dan demonstrasi pembuatan masker wajah rumput laut, kerupuk stik keju rumput laut, dan bakso sapi rumput laut hingga pelatihan penggunaan beberapa alat segel untuk mengemas masing-masing produk. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah ibu-ibu rumah tangga Desa Pungaya menjadi lebih mengetahui dan memahami produk-produk olahan rumput laut sehingga diharapkan dapat diadopsi dan dikembangkan menjadi produk yang siap untuk dipasarkan yang nantinya dapat berdampak pada perekonomian keluarga. Capaian dari kegiatan ini adalah peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan ibu-ibu rumah tangga Desa Punagaya dalam mengolah rumput laut menjadi sediaan kosmetik dan olahan pangan hingga pengemasannya dan dihasilkan tiga produk rumput laut yang terkemas yaitu masker wajah rumput laut, kerupuk stik keju rumput laut, dan bakso sapi rumput laut. Kata kunci: Rumput laut, masker wajah, kerupuk, bakso. ABSTRACT The geographical location of Punagaya Village, which borders the sea, makes most of the community work as seaweed farmers. Unfortunately, the seaweed produced is still limited to being sold in fresh or dried form. Housewives in Punagaya Village only help their husbands prepare seeds and sort seaweed. Meanwhile, housewives play an important role in supporting the household economy. The local community has never consumed or processed seaweed that they cultivate themselves because they do not know how to process it. Therefore, this community service aims to transfer knowledge and technology regarding the benefits and ways of utilizing seaweed (introducing seaweed diversity products) and making processed seaweed into packaging. The methods used in this service are socialization, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of making seaweed face masks, seaweed cheese stick crackers, and seaweed beef meatballs to training in the use of several sealing tools to package each product. The result of this activity is that the housewives of Pungaya Village become more aware and understand the processed seaweed products so that they are expected to be adopted and developed into products that are ready to be marketed which will have an impact on the family economy. The achievement of this activity was the increase in knowledge and skills of housewives in Punagaya Village in processing seaweed into cosmetic preparations and processed food to its packaging and the resulting three packaged seaweed products namely seaweed face masks, seaweed cheese stick crackers, and seaweed beef meatballs. Keywords: Seaweed, face mask, crackers, meatballs.

Abstract

Soymilk is an alternative to cow's milk for lactose intolerant patients and vegetarians. In this study, soymilk was made from soybean seeds that have been germinated because it is known that the germination process can increase the nutritional value of soybean. This study aims to determine the effect of soybean germination on viscosity, pH, soluble protein, and functional groups in soymilk produced. There were five treatments of soybean used, namely soybean without soaking and germination (control), soybean soaked without germination, soybean soaked and germinated for 24 hours, 36 hours, and 48 hours. Soybean seeds were heated and then ground, filtered, and the filtrate was heated and sugar was added to obtain soymilk. The results showed that soybean germination was able to reduce viscosity and total soluble solids and increase soluble protein in the soymilk produced. In addition, N-H, C=N functional groups indicating protein, OH, C-H aromatic, C=C aromatic and C-O indicating isoflavone compounds were identified, and C=O and OH groups at 48 hours of germination which indicate carboxylic acid, thus indicating the presence of GABA compounds.

Abstract

Coconut milk possesses potential as promising plant-based milk, alternative to animal milk. With the incorporation of bioactive-rich herbal leaves in combination with fermentation, the coconut milk presents an opportunity for better functional attributes, particularly antioxidant and antibacterial activities. This research investigates the effects of fermentation (lactic acid bacteria (culture)-mediated and spontaneous) and the addition of herbal leaves (cassava, bay, and guava) on the physicochemical and biofunctional properties of coconut milk drinks. Besides analysing antioxidant and antibacterial activities, other parameters analysed in this study include pH, total acidity, soluble solids (°Brix), total dissolved solids (ppm), and viscosity. This study finds that fermentation significantly reduced pH and the soluble solids (°Brix) while increasing total acidity, viscosity, and dissolved solids (ppm). It was also found that both fermentation and the addition of herbal leaves had significant effect on the biofunctional properties of the coconut milk drink in which they are found to enhance the antioxidant activity, with guava leaves exhibiting the highest enhancement. Particularly in guava-enriched formulations, the antibacterial properties were found to increase after fermentation demonstrating notable efficacy against E. coli (up to 7.03 mm) and S. aureus (up to 8.37 mm). This finding underscores the potential of fermentation in combination with herbal leaves to enhance the potential of plant-based milk.

Abstract

Buah naga merah (Hylocereus polyrhizus) berpotensi sebagai bahan baku minuman fermentasi fungsional karena mengandung gula alami, pigmen betalain, dan senyawa bioaktif. Namun, pemanfaatannya masih terbatas pada daging buah, sedangkan kulit buah sering dibuang meskipun memiliki kandungan gizi dan komponen fungsional bernilai. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh bagian buah serta fermentasi menggunakan Lactobacillus plantarum terhadap karakteristik sensori dan fisikokimia minuman berbasis buah naga merah. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap faktorial dengan dua faktor, yaitu bagian buah (daging dan kulit) dan kondisi fermentasi (tanpa fermentasi dan fermentasi). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fermentasi menghasilkan aroma asam khas, warna lebih pucat, dan tekstur lebih encer, terutama pada minuman berbasis kulit buah naga. Fermentasi menurunkan pH dari 5,74 menjadi 3,08 serta menurunkan total padatan terlarut dari 5,50 menjadi 3,73 °Brix. Minuman berbasis daging buah memiliki total padatan terlarut lebih tinggi, sedangkan minuman berbasis kulit buah menghasilkan pH lebih rendah. Daging dan kulit buah naga berpotensi dikembangkan sebagai bahan baku minuman fungsional yang bernilai tambah.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the antibacterial activity potential of fermented dragon fruit peel juice (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fermented using Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from rice washing water (Beras Mayas). The process begins with the preparation of dragon fruit peel samples, which are washed, peeled, and mashed to obtain the juice. The juice is pasteurized and inoculated with a 5% LAB starter, with the addition of a 10% sugar solution before being incubated for 3, 7, 12, and 17 days at 37ºC. pH measurements were taken during fermentation, showing a significant decrease in pH, reaching the lowest value of 3.76 on day 17. The antibacterial activity was measured using the well-diffusion method with the fermented juice at a concentration of 100%, showing a very strong inhibition zone (>20 mm) against Propionibacterium acnes on day 7. The results indicate that the pH changes during fermentation are closely related to the antibacterial activity
