Abstract

This community service activity aims to empower housewives through the utilization of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) by transforming them into instant herbal drinks. The training focused on processing red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) due to its extensive health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties. The activity involved 30 participants who received theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice on how to process red ginger into instant herbal drink products that are easy to prepare, hygienic, and have a longer shelf life. The results showed that participants were enthusiastic and actively engaged throughout the sessions. Evaluations before and after the training indicated a significant increase in knowledge. Previously, participants only grew medicinal plants as decoration without understanding their benefits and economic potential. The advantage of instant herbal drinks is their practicality in preparation, safety, and longer shelf life. Furthermore, this activity opened economic opportunities for participants through the development of small businesses based on instant herbal drinks. In conclusion, the training successfully enhanced the knowledge and skills of housewives in utilizing TOGA, particularly red ginger, and had a positive impact on economic empowerment. It is hoped that this program will continue with further assistance and development of other TOGA-based products.

Abstract

Whitening cream is a type of cosmetic that incorporates active substances aimed at inhibiting the formation of melanin, thus promoting lighter skin color. Hydroquinone is a frequently utilized active compound in whitening creams, despite its potential to cause skin cancer when excessively used. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of hydroquinone in facial whitening creams available in the Kodim Market of Pekanbaru City using the Uv-Vis Spectrophotometry method. Through spectrophotometric analysis, the following hydroquinone concentrations were obtained for the samples: sample A (3,409 ppm), sample B (4,774 ppm), sample C (3,250 ppm), sample D (7,132 ppm), and sample E (3,980 ppm). The corresponding percentages of hydroquinone content in each sample were calculated as follows: sample A (0.6818%), sample B (0.9548%), sample C (0.65%), sample D (1.4264%), and sample E (0.796%). These findings indicate that all five facial whitening creams tested contain hydroquinone.
