Abstract

Abstract— Potential: Mandai cempedak powder, rich in phenolic compounds and lactic acid, is encapsulated using a spray drying technique to maintain its unique content. This research aims to authenticate the final encapsulant product of Mandai powder by comparing it with raw materials (cempedak powder, Mandai powder) and the pre-encapsulation process. The analysis involves ATR FTIR, GC-MS techniques, morphological characteristics, and amino acid content. FTIR results identified lactic acid in the form of a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group and phenolic compounds with aromatic rings stretching carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds in starch and protein-based matrices, GC-MS analysis showed changes in volatile composition such as the appearance of the compound paromomycin, and Ethyl 9-hexadecenoic in mandai powder encapsulant products. Morphological characteristics also showed changes in structure from cempedak powder to mandai powder encapsulant. Apart from that, the amino acid content analysis in the encapsulant still detected relatively high levels of aspartic acid, glutamate, and arginine. In conclusion, this study discusses the successful encapsulation of mandai powder and provides information about changes in chemical composition during the encapsulation process.

Abstract

Herbal medicines are widely consumed as natural antioxidants to prevent oxidative stress-related diseases. Accurate assessment of antioxidant activity is essential, yet different methods may yield varying results. This study contributed to compare the antioxidant activities of ten commercial herbal medicines using ABTS (2,2’-azinobis- (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl) assays and evaluate the correlation between both methods. Ten herbal formulations were collected from local producers in Samarinda, Indonesia. Each product was mixed with low-fat milk (1:10 w/v) to enhance bio-accessibility and extracted via sonication and centrifugation. Antioxidant activity was analyzed using ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging assays. Percentage inhibition and IC₅₀ values were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 9.5.0 with Pearson correlation at a 95% confidence level. ABTS inhibition ranged from 10.54% to 72.73%, while DPPH ranged from 8.89% to 49.03%. IC₅₀ values were lower in ABTS (13.51–105.36 µg/mL) than in DPPH (20.11–165.50 µg/mL). A moderate positive correlation (r=0.5390) between inhibition results was observed but was not statistically significant (p=0.1079). Among all samples, the herbal formulation containing turmeric, betel leaf, areca nut, and manjakani exhibited the highest antioxidant activity with 72.73% inhibition (ABTS) and an IC₅₀ of 13.51 µg/mL. The differing sensitivities of ABTS and DPPH assays suggest that both methods should be used complementarily to obtain a comprehensive antioxidant profile of herbal products.
