Abstract

Cascara refers to the dried husk of coffee cherries. It has garnered significant attention in recent research due to its phytochemical composition and potential health benefits. Several studies have highlighted the presence of bioactive compounds and the antioxidant activity exhibited by cascara. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical content and antioxidant potential of cascara. The cascara was extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, and quinones using standard color reactions in test tubes. Antioxidant activity was assessed via the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay, with ascorbic acid as a reference compound. The phytochemical profile of the extract was identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The findings indicated that cascara contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. GC-MS analysis identified caffeine, hexadecanoic acid (methyl ester), and hexadecanoic acid (ethyl ester) as the predominant compounds in cascara. The antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method demonstrated that the ethanol extract of cascara possesses moderate antioxidant potential, with an average IC50 value of 108.49 ± 1.28 ppm. Ascorbic acid, the reference compound used in this study, yielded an IC50 of 2.53 ppm, categorized as very strong. This research underscores cascara’s potential as a valuable source of antioxidants with significant health benefits, influenced by geographic factors affecting its bioactive compound profile. Consequently, cascara holds promise for further development as a raw material for functional health-promoting products.

Abstract

UMKM Boga Sari Pecatu is a community-based small enterprise fostered by BUMDesa Catu Kwero Sedana Pecatu, specializing in the production of herbal goods. To enhance the productivity of the BUMDesa, the village has designated several flagship products for wider market development, including instant ginger powder to be produced by UMKM Boga Sari Pecatu. Although the UMKM has produced several items, it faces key challenges such as the absence of production permits, limited production facilities that hinder scale‐up, the lack of product branding, and the absence of standardized bookkeeping practices. Through this community service initiative, the implementing team carried out several programs to address these issues, including assistance in fulfilling PIRT registration requirements, procurement of a ginger grater machine to support larger‐scale instant ginger powder production, development of a UMKM logo along with packaging design and labelling, and training on simple bookkeeping practices applicable to small enterprises. The program, conducted by the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Mahasaraswati Denpasar, proceeded smoothly and according to plan. The major focuses included permit facilitation, provision of production equipment, and strengthening of product branding through the development of logos and packaging labels. The outcomes indicate improved partner understanding of PIRT procedures and benefits, although the permit issuance process is still ongoing. In terms of branding, the UMKM now possesses a new logo and compliant packaging label design, enhancing product readiness for broader distribution. Bookkeeping training likewise improved partner knowledge, as reflected in the differences between pre-test and post-test scores
