Abstract

Rambai fruit (Baccaurea motleyana) is a fruit that is still unable to compete with other local fruits, so it has lower economic value. Not only is it eaten directly, but rambai fruit can also be processed into vinegar. Vinegar is a substance made from various sugary or starchy ingredients through alcoholic fermentation followed by acetic fermentation. The vinegar sold must contain at least 4% (4 grams of acetic acid per 100 ml), must be fresh, and be made from fruit that is suitable for consumption. The vinegar that is widely available on the market and consumed by the public is made from chemicals that are harmful to the body. For this reason, it is necessary to make natural innovations in making vinegar, for example by using fruit. This research aims to determine the levels of acetic acid (CH3COOH) in rambai vinegar fermented for 1, 3, 12, and 36 months. The research method uses a descriptive research design. The sample used was rambai vinegar produced from a home industry in Sungai Pangkalan Village, Sungai Raya District, fermented for 1, 3, 12 and 36 months. Titrimetric examination method. Research on acetic acid levels in rambia fruit vinegar fermented for 1, 3, 12, and 36 months found 1.5802%, 1.5848%, 1.5917%, and 1.6991%. The conclusion was that the acetic acid content in Zambia fruit vinegar fermented for 1, 3, 12, and 36 days was still below the Indonesian national standard, namely 4-12%.

Abstract

Typhoid fever is an acute disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi. This bacteria is usually found in contaminated water or food. Apart from that, this bacteria can also be transmitted from infected people. The treatment carried out is using modern drugs such as the antibiotic chloramphenicol. However, the use of modern medicine has several disadvantages such as side effects. On the other hand, the use of natural ingredients as natural medicine has been widely used. One of them is that water gourd is empirically used as a fever reducer. Water gourd contains secondary metabolites, namely saponins, steroids and phenols which have been proven to have antibacterial activity and are able to inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhi bacteria. Another natural ingredient that has antibacterial activity is red ginger. Red ginger contains active compounds that have antibacterial effects such as flavonoids, phenols, treponoids and essential oils. Antibacterial activity was obtained by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone after administering 4 variations of the concentration of the juice sample. The positive control used amoxicillin 30 µg/disk and the negative control used distilled water. The research design used was a quasi-experimental method. The samples were water gourd and red ginger juice with varying concentrations of 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% and the average inhibition zone values were obtained, namely 8.875 mm, 9.875 mm, 11.25 mm and 14.25 mm. Based on the results of research and computerized data processing using the Kruskall Walis test, a value of p = 0.000 (p<0.05) was obtained, which means that there is an effect of the concentration of pumpkin juice and red ginger on the inhibitory power of Salmonella thypi bacteria.

Abstract

Legionellosis is an infection caused by Legionella pneumophila, commonly transmitted through artificial water systems such as cooling towers. Early detection of this pathogen is crucial, particularly in high-risk facilities. This study aimed to assess the robustness of a rapid detection method based on the Most Probable Number (MPN) principle, focusing on the effectiveness of pretreatment in reducing interference from non-target microorganisms. A total of 30 positive trays from Legiolert™ tests were subcultured on Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) to identify any surviving non-target microbes. Robustness was defined by the proportion of trays without non-target microbial growth. Results showed a robustness rate of 93.33%, with full robustness (100%) observed in low and moderate microbial load groups, and 75% in the high-load group. A non-parametric binomial test using SPSS was performed to evaluate the statistical significance of the deviation from the robustness cut-off. The resulting p-value was 0.446 (p > 0.05), indicating no statistically significant difference. These findings demonstrate that the Legiolert™ method maintains reliable performance even in complex sample matrices, supporting its use in routine water quality monitoring in accordance with Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023.
