Infused water is a beverage made possible by the incorporation of fruit or herbs into the water. The purpose of this study is to determine the antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, and pH value of ginger-infused water with lemon and mint leaves. This study used three ginger varieties: red ginger, small (emprit) ginger, and elephant ginger, with immersion times of 6, 9, and 12 hours. The DPPH method was used to determine antioxidant activity, and UV-Vis spectrometry was used to determine vitamin C levels. A pH meter was used to determine the degree of acidity (pH). According to the study’s findings, red ginger had the highest antioxidant activity at 12 hours of immersion by 89 percent. At 72.44 ppm immersion for 12 hours, the highest levels of vitamin C were found in infused water with small (emprit) ginger and a combination of lemon and mint leaves. Red ginger with a combination of lemon and mint leaves had the lowest pH, with a value of 3.48 after 12 hours of immersion. Research shows the biochemical content of infused water that is often used in society, especially ginger infused water combined with lemon and mint leaves.

Chlorogenic acid has been proved to have cardiovascular protection, antibacterial, antiviral, hemostatic, and hypolipidemia effects. Modern scientific research on the bioactivity of chlorogenic acid has been extended to the fields of food, medicine, health care and daily-use chemical industry. The aim of this research was to optimize the extraction conditions for chlorogenic acid from Eucommia ulmoides (Eucommiaceae) leaves. The significant variables were screened and optimized by a combination of Plackett-Burman test and Box-Behnken design. Optimum extraction parameters with ethanol concentration of 50%, solvent pH value of 3, and particle size of 60 mesh were determined according to variance analysis and contour plots. Under these conditions, the yield of chlorogenic acid was up to 4.36 mg/g, which was basically consistent with the theoretical prediction value of 4.50 mg/g. This study also proved the potential antioxidant activity of E. ulmoides leaves. The optimal extract of E. ulmoides leaves rich in chlorogenic acid showed the highest antioxidant activity in the FRAP method, which was 219.8 μM Trolox equivalents (TE) per g extract weight (EW) (μM TE/g EW). The DPPH method gave a similar value (168 μM TE/g EW) to the ABTS method (152 μM TE/g EW). The established extraction process was efficient in the recovery of chlorogenic acid from E. ulmoides leaves, encouraging its valorization as a cheap and sustainable alternative for the isolation of chlorogenic acid.

Abstract. Indonesia is a country with the third largest tropical forest in the world. The number of medicinal plants in Indonesia is estimated to be around 1,260 types of plants. Plants produce secondary metabolites that have potential as antioxidants. One of the plants that contains a lot of secondary metabolites is maja (Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr). The purpose of this study was to determine the content of secondary metabolites in maja fruit extracts and to determine the antioxidant activity contained in maja fruit extracts using the DPPH method. The research was conducted by extracting maja fruit samples using maceration method to obtain a thick extract. The extracts obtained were tested for secondary metabolites, TLC test, and antioxidant activity tests using the DPPH method using Uv-vis spectrophotometry. The results of this study indicate that maja fruit extract contains secondary metabolites of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, saponins, and glycosides. TLC results obtained Rf 0.512. The result of antioxidant activity of maja fruit extract obtained by IC50 was 269.153 µg / mL. and IC50 vitamin C as a comparison obtained 28,907µg / mL. This shows that the antioxidant activity of maja fruit extract is smaller than the antioxidant activity of vitamin C. Abstrak.

Coconut sap is sweet, oyster-white and translucent liquid which can be obtained by tapping coconut flowers for 8  ̶  12 hours. Since it contains sugar with nearly neutral pH, coconut sap is highly susceptible to spontaneous fermentation. In order to maintain the quality of the sap during the tapping process, coconut farmers usually add preservative substances. The preservatives can be produced either naturally, such as mixtures of lime, mangosteen peel and sliced jackfruit wood, or synthetic one, such as sodium metabisulphite. The chemical properties of coconut sap might be affected by weather conditions during the tapping process. This research aimed to determine the effect of weather conditions during tapping process and variations of mangosteen peel powder concentration on the chemical properties and antioxidant activity of the coconut sap. The results showed that the optimum preservative concentration of mangosteen peel powder was 0.84 g/L of coconut sap which was tapped in sunny weather condition. This treatment yielded sap with chemical properties i.e. pH value of 6.7; total soluble solids of 16.2 °brix; water content of 85.62%; reducing sugar of 0.04 g/100 g; sucrose content of 13.64 g/100 g; total free amino acids of 0.1738 g/100 g; total phenolic of 323.23 mgGAE/100 g; and vitamin C of 26.06 mg/100 g. The antioxidant activity of this treatment was 34.39 % RSA evaluated by DPPH method, this value, was relatively similar to that of the addition of 0.28 and 0.56 g/L mangosteen peel powder. The coconut sugar produced had reducing sugar of 5.01 g/100 g; total sugar of 86.50 g/100 g; total phenolic content of 470 mgGAE/100 g; browning index of 16254 IU (ICUMSA); and antioxidant activity of 61.05% RSA.

<p><em>Obat Pahit</em> is a potion that has been long commonly consumed by Lingga Malay society for generations as stamina keeper. The most dominant plants found in the packaging of the Obat Pahit were namely <em>Bauhunia semibifida, Cnestis palala</em> and Penawa Root (3 species). This research aimed to investigate and determine activity of antioxidant contents in <em>Obat Pahit</em> from five Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) in the district of Lingga. The tested samples were mashed then being soaked into 2 types of solvent: distilled water and methanol, containing HCl 1%. DPPH method was also used in this research. Quantitatively antioxidant activity test of <em>Obat Pahit</em> from the five TMPs by using methanol solvent had extremely highest activity compared to the distilled water solvent. The test, using TLC plate by spraying the extract from three dominant plants with 0.1 mM of DPPH solution, produced a pale-yellow spots at a wavelength of 366 nm. On the other hand, the test using HPLC at wavelengths of 230 nm and 280 nm showed the presence of two dominant secondary metabolites contents: flavonoid and phenolic. IC50 (ppm) of <em>Bauhinia semibifida</em> (6.6247), Penawa Root (5.0124) and <em>Cnestis palala</em> (5.9968) were much lower than IC50 of mangosteen’s rind (41.7675), vitamin C (6.6612) and Stimuno drug (8.333). This antioxidant analysis has not been reported previously. This proof contributed greatly to uncovering potentially native natural resources as an indigenous Indonesian drug which is expected to decrease dependence on imported drugs especially imunomodulator, antihypertensive, antidiabet etc. This research would be beneficial and excellent manifestation for the development of natural antioxidant-based medicines from traditional knowledge of Indonesia’s local ethnicities.</p>
