Abstract

Bali is one of the world’s tourist destinations that drives the growth of Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) industries, including the traditional beverage sector. Traditional beverages are generally produced naturally without the addition of preservatives. However, to extend shelf life and maintain product safety until it reaches consumers, some producers add preservatives. Excessive use of preservatives may pose health risks. The aims of the study are to analyze the content of benzoic acid and potassium sorbate as preservatives in beverages produced by MSMEs in South Bali during the 2025 period. The research employed descriptive cross-sectional design with both qualitative and quantitative analyses using High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The study samples consisted of 22 beverage products produced by MSMEs in Bali. All samples were analyzed to identify the presence and levels of benzoic acid and sodium sorbate. The results showed that none of the 22 beverage samples contained benzoic acid or sodium sorbate. Therefore, it can be concluded that the MSME beverages examined during this period did not contain these preservatives.

Abstract

Flavonoids are phenolic compounds widely distributed in plants and are well known for their antioxidant activity, which plays an important role in preventing degenerative diseases. One plant with potential as a flavonoid source is the globe amaranth flower (Gomphrena globosa L.), which has been traditionally used and reported to exhibit various pharmacological activities. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid content of globe amaranth flower extract grown in Bali. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method with 96% ethanol at a ratio of 1:10, followed by remaceration. Phytochemical screening was performed to identify the presence of flavonoids, while total flavonoid content was determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry with quercetin as the standard. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoid compounds in the extract. The determination of total flavonoid content showed a maximum wavelength at 433 nm, with a regression equation of Y = 0.0778X + 0.0012 and a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9982. The total flavonoid content obtained was 81.808 mgQE/100 g extract. In conclusion, the globe amaranth flower (Gomphrena globosa L.) is a promising natural source of flavonoids and has potential to be developed as a raw material for traditional medicine, particularly as a natural antioxidant.
