Abstract

Preservation techniques have been widely applied in food processing. One of the commonly used methods is the addition of synthetic chemical substances, but this can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. Therefore, there is a need for alternative natural preservatives, such as sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.). Sappan wood is a plant species that can be utilized as a natural preservative in food products and possesses various biological benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antivirus and antibacterial properties. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the concentration of sappan wood extract and its antimicrobial activity, as well as to compare the effectiveness of liquid and powder extracts in inhibiting microbial growth. The research employed a Simple Linear Regression method, where variable X represented the concentration of sappan wood extract (%) and variable Y represented the inhibition zone diameter of microbial growth (mm), with concentrations of 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%. Based on the results of antimicrobial activity testing, both liquid and powdered sappan wood extract exhibited strong antimicrobial activity, indicating potential as a natural preservative. The effectiveness of the extract in inhibiting microbial growth increased with higher extract concentrations. This finding demonstrates a strong and positive linear relationship between extract concentration and microbial growth inhibition.

Abstract

Strawberries contribute significantly to the local economy and serve as a major attraction in the development of agrotourism in Sugihmukti Village. In the cultivation process, only the fruit is typically utilized, while other parts such as the leaves are often discarded without optimal use. This condition generates agricultural waste that can negatively impact the environment if not properly managed. Processing strawberry leaves into herbal tea provides a strategic solution that supports product diversification and enhances economic value. The objective of this activity is to improve the knowledge and skills of the Sugihmukti Village community in utilizing strawberry leaves as a health-promoting herbal tea to support local economic independence. This activity applied the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach to ensure active community participation. The Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method was used to evaluate participants’ level of understanding. The results showed an increase in community knowledge and skills in utilizing strawberry leaves and unsellable fruits as herbal tea, as evidenced by the improvement in participants’ knowledge scores from 53% (pre-test) to 90.6% (post-test), with an increase of 37.6%, indicating program success. Community enthusiasm, support from local authorities, and collaboration with various institutions serve as a strong foundation for developing the village’s potential flagship products.
