Abstract

Stress, environmental pollution, radiation, and excessive food processing contribute to the production of free radicals, which are harmful to the body. Antioxidants play a role in preventing free radicals from damaging nucleotides. Ginger contains high levels of antioxidants, making it beneficial for overall health. However, ginger has a short shelf life, and its traditional preparation methods are less preferred by many people. Therefore, ginger is now available in the form of instant drink powders, which can be prepared like tea or coffee. This study is a descriptive study using the hedonic test method. Thirty students were selected as panelists. The panelists evaluated two types of ginger drinks made with different sweeteners: sugar and a combination of sugar and palm sugar (sugar-palm sugar). The parameters assessed in this study were color, aroma, taste, and sweetness level. The results of the hedonic test showed that the ginger drink sweetened with the sugar-palm sugar combination had the highest preference percentages across all parameters: color, aroma, taste, and sweetness level. For color, the "like" preference level achieved a percentage of 40%. For aroma, the "really like" preference level reached 43.33%. Taste received a "really like" preference level of 53.33%, and sweetness achieved a "like" preference level of 36.67%. In conclusion, the panelists preferred the ginger drink sweetened with the sugar-palm sugar combination over the drink sweetened with just sugar. This preference is attributed to the addition of palm sugar, which balances the ginger's strong flavor while retaining its distinct taste. Furthermore, the combination of ginger and palm sugar produces a harmonious blend of color, aroma, taste, and sweetness that complements both ingredients.

Abstract

Chrysanthemum morifolium var. reagent pink is an ornamental flower that is widely cultivated in Indonesia. The increasing demand makes it difficult for farmers to fulfill the market. In-vitro tissue culture is an effective solution to multiply chrysanthemum seedlings in bulk and quickly. This study aims to identify the most effective concentration in inducing callus in chrysanthemum plants by combining Naphtalen Acetic Acid (NAA) and kinetin. This study was an experimental research with a completely randomized design (CRD), involving 12 treatments and each treatment was repeated 4 times. There were two treatment factors; NAA concentration (0 mg/l, 0.5 mg/l, 1 mg/l) and kinetin concentration (0 mg/l, 1 mg/l, 2 mg/l, 3 mg/l). Parameters in this study included days to callus appearance, percentage of callus explants, callus wet weight, callus color, and callus texture. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that (1) the fastest callus was formed at 11 HST by giving the treatment of 0 mg/l NAA + 3 mg/l kinetin; (2) the optimal treatment for the percentage of callus explants was obtained by giving 1 mg/l NAA + 1 mg/l kinetin); (3) the optimal treatment of callus wet weight was obtained by giving 1 mg/l NAA + 2 mg/l kinetin; (4) the best callus quality was obtained by giving a combination of NAA 1 mg/l and kinetin 1 mg/l, with a crumbly texture and brownish yellow callus.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between healthcare service capacity and referral rates at Puskesmas within BPJS Kesehatan Mataram Branch in 2024. This study used a correlation design with a cross-sectional approach. This design aims to evaluate the relationship between the service capabilities of health centers and referral rates at a certain time. The results of the study showed that Puskesmas with inpatient services tend to have safer referral rates compared to non-inpatient Puskesmas. Non-inpatient Puskesmas often refer more cases due to their limited capacity to manage complex cases at the primary level. The results emphasize the need for increased resources and medical training, especially in non-inpatient Puskesmas, to reduce unnecessary referrals to higher-level hospitals. Strengthening service capacity at Puskesmas is essential to ensure effective primary care and reduce the burden on referral hospitals.
