Abstract

Along with the development era, health is increasingly being considered. One of the things that is currently being discussed is functional food containing antioxidant compound that can inhibited free radical that cause cardiovascular disease from plant extracts. One of the plants that contains antioxidants is purple nutsedge tuber (Cyperus rotundus L.). Gummy candies have characteristics with a dense and chewy gel texture. The combination with cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii Nees ex & T. Nees Blume) is done to increase the antioxidant value. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity in gummy candies, which are produced using a combination of purple nutsedge tuber and cinnamon extracts. This study employed a quantitative-descriptive methodology. The formulation of the gummy candies was prepared with a ratio of purple nutsedge tubers to cinnamon, F1(15:5%), F2(10:10%), and F3(5:15%). The organoleptic of the gummy candies were a dark brown color, a distinctive aroma associated with purple nutsedge tubers, sweet and astringency, and a chewy texture. The moisture content of the gummy candies in the F0-F3 were 12.430-15.593% and the ash content were 0.131-0.265%. Both parameters which met the requirements of SNI 3547.2:2008. The antioxidant activity of the purple nutsedge tuber extract was 65.675 ppm, while the cinnamon extract was 44.883 ppm. The antioxidant activity on gummy candies from F0-F3 with IC50, respectively, amounted to 176.046 ppm, 121.184 ppm, 84.178 ppm, and 73.145 ppm, with weak to strong categories. It was observed that as the quantity of cinnamon extract incorporated into the formulation increased, the antioxidant activity also increased.

Abstract

Pregnant women and postpartum mothers need iron intake and need intake to prepare their breast milk production. Cucurbita moschata Duch. seeds contain essential iron for pregnant women, and Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr. leaves have active compounds that are effective in increasing breast milk production needed by postpartum mothers. Capsule preparation is used as an alternative preparation development because it is considered easier to consume and practical. This study aims to make capsule preparations that can be used as iron intake by pregnant women and breast milk boosters and evaluate the preparation and the stability of the preparation. This study used an experimental method by making a capsule preparation formula with different talc compositions (F1 (1%), F2 (5%), and F3 (10%)) and conducting physical evaluation including flow properties tests, angles of repose, capsule weight uniformity, capsule disintegration time, and physical stability tests using the cycling test method for 6 cycles and cross-combination at 40°C and 4°C, as well as its microbiological stability. The results showed that the capsule preparations in F1, F2, and F3 had good physical quality. The more talc concentration added, the better the flow speed and angle of repose, and the capsule produced has a uniform weight. The results of the physical stability of Cucurbita moschata Duch. seeds extract capsules and Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr. leaves meet the requirements of good capsule results from the 1st cycle to the 6th cycle. The storage cycle affects the stability test of capsule water content but does not affect the organoleptic stability test, flow speed, angle of repose, weight uniformity, water content, or microbiology.

Abstract

Hypertension can be managed using traditional medicinal plants such as elephant ginger, garlic, and citronella, which can be processed into instant powdered beverage formulations. This study evaluates the physical quality, phytochemical properties, and hedonic characteristics of powdered formulations combining these three ingredients. The study employed an observational method. Instant powdered formulations were prepared using the crystallization method, with three variations of white sugar to palm sugar ratios: 2:0 (F1), 1.5:0.5 (F2), and 1:1 (F3). A univariate analysis was conducted to evaluate the physical qualities of the powders, including organoleptic properties, pH, moisture content, tapping density, angle of repose, and dissolution time, as well as to report the results of phytochemical screening and hedonic evaluation (taste, aroma, and color). The results revealed variations in the physical properties of the three formulations. The pH values were 5.91, 5.90, and 5.74 for F1, F2, and F3, respectively. Moisture content was recorded at 1%, 1.33%, and 3.33%, while tapping density was 8.33%, 11%, and 11.33%. Flow times were 10.57 seconds, 10.68 seconds, and 11.34 seconds, while the angles of repose were measured at 32.37°, 26.47°, and 37.81°. Dissolution times were recorded as 15.3 seconds, 17.17 seconds, and 18.15 seconds. Formula 1 (F1) demonstrated the best physical quality based on established standards among the formulations. Phytochemical screening for all three formulations (F1–F3) indicated the presence of flavonoids and saponins, while tests for alkaloids and terpenoids yielded negative results. The hedonic evaluation, conducted using F1 due to its superior physical quality, showed that out of 31 respondents, 17 rated it as "like," 8 as "neutral," and 6 as "very like." In conclusion, although the flow time parameter did not meet the standard requirement, F1 exhibited the best physical quality, contained beneficial phytochemicals (flavonoids and saponins), and was well-received by the majority of respondents in terms of taste, aroma, and color.

Abstract

Jam is a food product with a gel or semi-solid consistency that is spread on food made from processed fruits and sugar without the addition of other food ingredients and permitted food additives. This study created a formulation of jam preparations from the albedo of watermelon rind (Citrullus lanatus Tunb.) in combination with guava fruit (Psidium guajava L.) because they contain vitamin C, which has antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the formulation and antioxidant activity of the albedo jam preparation of watermelon rind (Citrullus lanatus Tunb.) and guava fruit (Psidium guajava L.). This study used a quantitative descriptive method with observations of jam quality according to SNI 01-3746-2008. The test parameters were jam quality tests, including organoleptic, pH, water content, colour test, and antioxidant activity tests. The organoleptic results of the jam had a bright red colour with a distinctive aroma of watermelon and red guava and had a slightly sour, sweet taste. The results of the pH test of the jam on F1, F2, and F3 were respectively 3.72 ± 0.025, 3.84 ± 0.017, and 3.85 ± 0.032. The results of the water content test of the jam on F1, F2, and F3 were respectively 29.34 ± 0.464, 29.18 ± 0.375, and 28.71 ± 0.437. The results of the jam colour test showed positive vitamin C content. The IC50 values of the jam preparations on F1, F2 and F3 were respectively 155.345 ppm, 145.581 ppm, and 130.241 ppm. The F1 jam preparation is a weak antioxidant, while F2 and F3 are moderate antioxidants.

Abstract

Antioxidants are essential to increase endurance and maintain the immune system to prevent the entry of various diseases. Antioxidants are found in many fruits and vegetables, one of which is moringa and garlic. Moringa leaves and garlic have properties as a source of antioxidants and can increase the body's immune system so that it can be processed into functional drinks. The manufacture of functional drinks MOSA (Moringa oleifera (Leaves) & Allium sativum (Garlic)) uses the flavor of palm sugar, which is known to have antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the pH and antioxidant activity of functional beverages MOSA. In this study, pH testing used a pH meter, and antioxidant activity testing used a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with the DPPH method. The maximum wavelength of the control solution obtained is 518 nm, with an absorbance of 0.786. The results showed that the average pH was 6.574, and the IC50 was 45.931. The low pH in MOSA functional drinks is low acidic and has very strong antioxidant activity. The low pH value of MOSA functional beverage meets the quality requirements after MOSA is dissolved with water so that it has the potential to be a functional drink.

Abstract

One of the non-communicable diseases that becomes a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease is hypertension. The prevalence of women with hypertension in Wedi district is 38.9%. This study aims to explore how women who have hypertension use traditional medicine in Wedi District. This type of research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The results of this study include: The definition of high blood pressure disorder is when a person has a blood pressure of more than 140 or more than the normal blood pressure of 120, but when checked repeatedly, the blood pressure is not stable. In addition, direct causes of hypertension such as disease, age, and gender. Meanwhile, indirect causes such as food and drinks, body conditions, and psychological disorders. Meanwhile, signs and symptoms of hypertension include physical disorders and psychological disorders. Hypertension may cause organ malfunction, activity disruption, and psychological disorders. Thus, the first aid taken is varied, such as seeking treatment at health care facilities, seeking treatment at health workers, seeking treatment at traditional health workers (Nakestrad), and self-medicating. Furthermore, traditional skills-based therapy can be done, including dry cupping, walking on gravel, self-soothing therapy, etc. Meanwhile, jamu can also be used to maintain blood pressure, such as jamu beras kencur, jamu hipertensi saintifik, etc. They also use some medicinal plants, including kenikir leaves, papaya leaves, etc. It can be concluded that not all women know about hypertension, and their efforts to maintain their blood pressure greatly vary both conventionally, traditional medicine (skills, herbs, and medicinal plants), and self-medicate.

Abstract

Limonia acidissima is one of the medicinal plants in Indonesia with various bioactive compounds that act as an antioxidant. L. acidissima contains alkaloids, flavonoids, and triterpenoids that function as antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that help protect the body from damage to cells by free radicals. To determine the antioxidant activity of a plant, one of the most commonly used measurements is through the capture of free radicals using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. This study has been conducted on the antioxidant activity determination of L. acidissima fruit and exocarp extract with 1,1 Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil (DPPH). This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity by observing at the IC50 value contained in the L. acidissima fruit and exocarp extract with DPPH at a wavelength of 478 nm. L. acidissima fruit extract has an IC50 value of 35.190 means antioxidant activity is very strong and L. acidissima exocarp extract has an IC50 value of 35.348 means antioxidant activity is very strong.

Abstract

Soap is a cosmetic product that can kill bacteria that cause skin infections. Soap preparations can be innovated into paper hand-washing soap that is practical, hygienic, and effective in killing bacteria. A plasticizer, namely glycerin, influences the texture of paper soap. Glycerin in the formulation of paper hand-washing soap can weaken the hardness of the preparation and provide flexibility, resulting in thin soap-like paper. This research aimed to determine the effect of glycerin concentration on the physical and hedonic quality tests of paper hand-washing soap preparations. This research uses an experimental approach with a pre-experimental one-shot case study design. The results of the physical quality test of kenikir leaf ethanol extract paper soap with variations in glycerin concentration in the organoleptic test had a light yellow color, a grape fragrance, a stiff solid shape, elastic, and very elastic and homogeneous. The addition of variations in glycerin concentration affects the results of the physical quality assessment of water content and hedonic tests for texture. However, it does not affect the results of physical quality tests, pH, foam height, and hedonic tests for color and aroma of the preparation.
