Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of caulerpa habitat location on the content of active compounds and their activities as antibacterial. This research is experimental and data analysis with ANOVA. Samples come from three different locations of CBL, CBB, and CL as well as two different solvents, ethanol and n-hexane. According to research, the highest antioxidant activity produced by n-hexane CBL is 73.48%. The highest value of phenol gives n-hexane CBB at 292,867 mg/mL. The highest total flavonoids are 11.91 mg/ml produced by CBB ethanol. The total chlorophyll is between 0.25–0.87 mg/mL, while the total carotenoid is between 1.40–4.11 µ mol/L. The clear zone is formed in only 2 samples with S-test bacteria. It has 0.5 mm aureus n-hexane CBB and 1.5 mm n-hexane CL. This zone is clearly classified as very small, this can be due to the small content of the extract in the test sample. Active compounds found under the GCMS test are alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, and other fatty acids. These active compounds are a group of potentially antioxidant and antibacterial agents. It can be inferred that habitat location affects active compounds and CBB has greater potential as a source of natural materials than other samples.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of the amount of water on consumer preference on the sensory quality of Bogor bean juice. We employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one factor and three treatment levels, specifically the addition of 300 mL, 400 mL, and 500 mL of water to 100 grams of Bogor peanut seeds. The analysis performed in this study included sensory quality tests using descriptive methods, consumer acceptance tests with hedonic methods, and chemical quality assessments through proximate analysis of selected Bogor peanut juice drinks. The addition of water to Bogor peanut juice drinks affects consumer preferences regarding color and viscosity, but does not impact their preferences for aroma, taste, or overall assessment. According to the consumer preference tests, the most favored product was the Bogor peanut juice drink made with 400 mL of water. This drink contained 90.45% water, 0.23% ash, 0.21% protein, 1.15% fat, and 8.07% carbohydrates, resulting in an energy value of 43.45 kcal per 100 grams of drink. Bogor peanut juice is being developed as a milk substitute for consumers who are lactose intolerant.
