Research methods with area studies and scientific studies. From the results of ethnopharmacology obtained sidaguri sida plants are useful for gout and malgia, and sendokan/ki leaves are useful for hypertension and diabetes. so that traditional medical knowledge becomes recorded and can be preserved.

Identification of Secondary Metabolites in Fruit and Vegetable Waste Eco-Enzymes

Edward Melfin Bawanda — 2025-08-04

Organic waste, in the form of fruit and vegetable peels from Ketintang, Surabaya City, East Java, can be processed into an eco enzyme through fermentation using a mixture of sugar and water over a period of 30 days. During this process, glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid, which, under anaerobic conditions, undergoes decarboxylation to form ethanol and carbon dioxide. This study aims to identify the secondary metabolites present in eco enzymes derived from fruit and vegetable waste. This research employed an accurate experimental method, observing colour changes in the tests for flavonoids and tannins, the presence of froth in the saponin test, the formation of rings in the steroid and terpenoid tests, and the appearance of precipitate in the alkaloid test. The analysis results indicated that the eco-enzyme from fruit and vegetable waste tested positive for flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, while alkaloids, terpenoids, and steroids were not detected (negative).

UJI AKTIVITAS ANTIHIPERGLIKEMIA TEH BUNGA KECOMBRANG (Etlingera elatior (Jack.) R.M.Sm ) TERHADAP MENCIT PUTIH (Mus Musculus) JANTAN DENGAN METODE TOLERANSI GLUKOSA

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder caused by pancreatic dysfunction, characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to decreased insulin production by pancreatic beta cells. This study aimed to evaluate the antihyperglycemic activity of torch ginger tea (Etlingera elatior (Jack.) R.M.Sm.) in male white mice (Mus musculus) using the glucose tolerance method. The mice were divided into control and treatment groups, receiving torch ginger tea at doses of 1,25 gram/KgBW, 2,5 gram/KgBW, and 5 gram/KgBW. The tea was administered orally, followed by glucose induction 30 minutes later. Blood glucose levels were measured over 4 hours at 30-minute intervals. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between the treatment groups and the negative control at all tested doses (p = 0.00; p < 0.05). These results indicate that torch ginger tea at doses of 1,25 gram/KgBW, 2,5 gram/ KgBW, and 5 gram/KgBW exhibits antihyperglycemic activity in male white mice (Mus musculus) based on the glucose tolerance method.

Pemanfaatan Antioksidan Ubi Jalar Ungu (Ipomoea Batatas L. Poir) dan Daun Kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) Pada Formulasi Pembuatan Minuman Jelly Drink

ABSTRAK
Di negara Indonesia terdapat banyak bahan pangan yang mengandung antioksidan
alami, seperti ubi jalar ungu dan daun kelor. Ubi jalar ungu merupakan produk komersial
yang cukup diminati. Berbagai penelitian membuktikan bahwa beberapa flavonoid yang
terdapat dalam ubi jalar ungu memiliki khasiat antioksidan. Ubi ungu dapat dimanfaatkan
sebagai bahan pangan fungsional yang kaya dengan antosianin yaitu sebesar 110,51
mg/100g. Bahan pangan lain sebagai alternatif antioksidan alami yang cukup potensial
adalah daun kelor. Daun kelor segar mengandung antioksidan 7 kali lebih banyak
dibandingkan vitamin C. nilai IC50 pada ekstrak daun kelor segar dan kering masing
masing sebesar 80,17±1,16 μg/mL, dan 81,35± 0,57 μg/mL sedangkan Vitamin C sebagai
standar sebesar 7,22± 0,06 μg/mL. Jelly drink produk minuman yang berbentuk gel dan
memiliki karakteristik berupa cairan kental yang konsisten dengan kadar air tinggi dan
mudah dihisap (SNI-01-3552-1994). Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membuat formula
Jelly drink menjadi tiga formula dengan variasi sari ubi jalar ungu dan daun kelor. Aktivitas
antioksidan yang diuji menggunakan metode DPPH menunjukkan bahwa semua formula
memiliki aktivitas yang tinggi, dengan nilai persen inhibisi berturut-turut sebesar 84,95%
(F1), 85,19% (F2), dan 82,82% (F3).
