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

The increasing prevalence of thrombosis as a manifestation of hemostatic dysfunction has prompted the search for safer and more accessible alternative anticoagulant agents. Morinda citrifolia L. (noni fruit) contains various bioactive compounds suspected to modulate blood coagulation pathways. This study aimed to evaluate the anticoagulant effectiveness of an elixir formulated from ethanolic extract of noni fruit on the bleeding time of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus). A post-test only randomized group design was employed, consisting of four treatment groups: negative control (aquadest), positive control (acetosal 80 mg), elixir at 40 mg/kgBW, and elixir at 80 mg/kgBW. The extract was prepared by ethanol maceration and then formulated into elixirs, followed by physical quality testing. Anticoagulant activity was assessed by measuring tail bleeding time. Results indicated that the elixir at 80 mg/kgBW significantly prolonged the bleeding time compared to other groups. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and steroids as dominant constituents. The findings demonstrate that the noni fruit elixir possesses anticoagulant activity, with the higher dose yielding the most pronounced effect. This study concludes that Morinda citrifolia has strong potential to be developed as a natural anticoagulant in pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

Pomelo peel (Citrus maxima) is an agricultural by-product rich in bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which have potential antioxidant and anti-aging properties. However, the high pectin content in citrus peels can hinder the release of these active compounds. The objective of this study was to improve the extraction efficiency of bioactive compounds from pomelo peel using an environmentally friendly Enzyme-Assisted Extraction (EAE) method employing pectinase enzymes and to formulate the extract into instant effervescent granules. The granules produced using enzymatic extraction, granules prepared without enzymes, and control granules were evaluated through sensory assessment, physical quality analysis, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity (DPPH method), and crude fiber content. The results showed that enzyme-assisted extraction granules (EEG) exhibited significantly higher free radical scavenging activity (49.57 ± 6.10%) compared to non-enzymatic granules (NEG) (28.48 ± 8.67%). EEG also demonstrated a higher total phenolic content (0.027 g/100 g) than NEG (0.017 g/100 g). In addition, EEG showed better sensory acceptance and physical quality, including a more balanced taste, a stronger citrus aroma, and higher fiber content. These findings indicate that the application of the EAE method can enhance phenolic and fiber content, physical quality, and antioxidant activity of instant pomelo peel granules, suggesting their potential development as an environmentally friendly natural antioxidant product.

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.

Abstract

The use of natural colorants derived from natural sources, such as red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis), can be applied in cosmetic formulations including blush in, lipstick, eyeshadow, and others. Blush on has several consistencies, such as liquid, cream, solid/cake and powder forms. The factor that affects the physical stability of the cream blush is the viscosity or thickness. Beeswax (cera alba) is one of the ingredients that can increase the viscosity and has a function as a thickener or stiffening. This study aims to determine the optimal concentration of beeswax in red dragon (H.costaricensis) fruit extract cream blush formulations that meet the physical quality standards comparable to similar commercial products. The study was conducted by varying beeswax concentrations in three formulations (FI, FII, and FIII) of red dragon fruit extract cream blush at 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively.  The physical quality tests included organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, and spreadability, which were compared with those of commercial cream blush products. Based on the physical quality evaluation, all three formulations showed good physical properties. However, among the tested formulations, FI (10% beeswax) exhibited the closest physical quality characteristics to commercial blush product.

Abstract

Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) are a form of natural resource utilization that plays a role in community health maintenance efforts. The utilization of TOGA in the community is still influenced by the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community towards the use of medicinal plants. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes of the people of Pekalongan City towards the utilization of Family Medicinal Plants. The research method used was quantitative descriptive research with a crosssectional approach. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling with a total of 50 respondents. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and analyzed descriptively by calculating the percentage of respondents' answers. The results showed that most respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge, with ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass being the most widely known medicinal plants. The community's attitude towards the use of TOGA was generally good, indicating support for its use as an alternative in maintaining family health. However, the use of TOGA is still not optimal due to limited knowledge about proper processing and usage methods, as well as the availability of medicinal plants. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the community has a positive attitude towards the use of Family Medicinal Plants, but increased education and socialization are still needed to support more appropriate and sustainable use of TOGA.

Abstract

Grade II (A) burn wounds are a common form of skin injury that require proper management to accelerate the healing process and prevent complications. The use of natural products as alternative topical therapies continues to be developed because they are considered safer and possess diverse biological activities. Buni leaves (Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng) are known to contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids that potentially support skin tissue regeneration. This study aimed to grade II (A) burn wounds in male white mice (Mus musculus). This study employed an experimental method with a post-test only control group design. The animals were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control (Bioplacenton®), and treatment groups receiving buni leaf extract ointment at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. Grade II (A) burns were induced on the dorsal area of the mice, followed by treatment according to each group. Observations were conducted for 14 days by measuring wound diameter reduction and percentage of wound healing. The data were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA followed by a post hoc test to determine differences between treatment groups. The results showed that all concentrations of buni leaf extract ointment accelerated burn wound healing compared to the negative control, with the 10% concentration demonstrating the highest effectiveness and a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). It can be concluded that the 96% ethanolic extract ointment of buni leaves has the potential to be developed as a natural topical preparation for grade II (A) burn therapy. determine the effectiveness of a 96% ethanolic extract ointment of buni leaves in accelerating the healing of
