Natural dyes are an alternative dye that is not toxic, environmentally, friendly and easily degraded. Therefore, optimizing the use of body coloring sources is carried out. One of the natural dyes released is tannin from betel nuts. Tannins are polar pigments. This study aims to determine the results of natural dyes in betel nuts and find out the durability produced and known organoleptic results. Dyestuff extraction from betel nuts was carried out with 96% ethanol. Testing the color stability of betel nut seedlings was carried out on the effect of pH, temperature and storage time with the method UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Then the application of betel nut dyes on beverage products was carried out. The results showed that betel fruit produced tannin dyes in brownish red color with an average tannin content of 28.002 mg/L. Dyes stabilized at pH of 6 by heating at 400C and storage for 2 days. The results of organoleptic tests showed that the extract of areca nut powder can be used as a natural dye in beverage products with a level of color, smell and flavor that emits at a concentration of 0.005 g/mL of dyes. Keywords: Extraction, tannin, areca nuts, color stability, organoleptic

`Seascape' strawberries were harvested and treated with various concentrations of riboflavin and placed on a lab bench for 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 days, respectively, in a cold room at 4 °C. After each day, samples were taken and stored in a freezer at -20 °C until they were evaluated for anthocyanins content. Both exogenously applied riboflavin and storage time increased cyaniding 3-glucoside and pelargonidin 3-glucoside in the strawberry fruits. This result indicates that riboflavin could be used to increase red color in strawberries destined for processing as well as be included as a vitamin supplement in the processed products.

Thrush is an oral disease caused by bacterial and fungal infections. Treatment for this disease can be done by administering drugs that contain antimicrobial compounds. This study aims to test the ethanol extract of young areca nut against bacteria and fungi that cause Oral thrush. Young betel nut extract is obtained through maceration process using 96% ethanol. Then the activity of the Streptococcus sanguis bacteria and Candida albican fungus was tested. This test used the well method which was carried out on 5 variations of the concentration of young areca nut extract (2.5%; 5%; 7.5%; 10% and 15%) with one negative control (Na CMC). The results of the antimicrobial activity of young areca nut extract showed that young areca nut extract can inhibit Streptococcus sanguis bacteria with inhibition value are  (9,961; 11,319; 13,390; 14,184; 14,704 mm) and Candida albican fungus are (7,482; 10,923; 14,695; 15,742; 17,325 mm) on 5 variations of the concentration.

The chewing of Areca catechu nut, more popularly known as betel nut, is one of the ancient traditions in India and other South-east Asian countries. Other than its role played in religious practices and cultural rituals, areca nut has also been described to have various health benefits, particularly antihelminthic and antiviral properties, in the traditional systems of medicine like Ayurveda. It was observed to produce an antidepressant-like effect by elevating the serotonin and norepinephrine levels in hippocampus of rats. It also exhibited analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities in mice, and displayed in vitro antioxidant activity. Furthermore, it was found to improve spatial memory and learning behaviour in rats.

One of the betel nut plate craftsmen who is also the Chairperson of the Mendis Maju Bersama (MMB) Cooperative, Supriyanto, admits that he produces pinan midrib plates. Farmers in Bayung Lencir, South Sumatra, burn areca nuts. But now, the betel nut is used by residents to become a handicraft that has a selling value. To produce cutlery from areca nut, the residents use a press machine. Betel nuts are washed before processing. The old fronds are then dried. After drying, the fronds are pressed and then cut to the size of the plate or rice box. Before printing, the fronds must be moistened first so that they are softer and do not tear easily. Creative industry and environmentally friendly product innovation will be the focus of the development of betel nut midrib management. Availability of raw materials and empowering sustainable communities because this product addresses environmental issues, especially the issue of the use of plastics in Indonesia so far and this product is one of the solutions to product innovation in the areca nut substitute for plastic and styrofoam. The results of innovation in the management of areca nut as a substitute for Styrofoam are the handicrafts of rural communities in order to support the family economy and maintain an environmentally friendly nature.Abstrak: Salah satu pengerajin piring pelepah pinang yang juga Ketua Koperasi Mendis Maju Bersama (MMB), Supriyanto mengaku produksi piring pelepah pinan. Pelepah pinang biasanya dibakar oleh para petani di Bayung Lencir, Sumsel. Namun kini, pelepah pinang dimanfaatkan warga untuk menjadi kerajinan yang punya nilai jual. Untuk memproduksi peralatan makan dari pelepah pinang warga menggunakan mesin press. Pelepah pinang dicuci bersih sebelum diolah. Pelepah tua kemudian dikeringkan. Setelah kering, pelepah di-press lalu dipotong sesuai ukuran piring atau kotak nasi. Sebelum cetak, pelepah harus dibasahi dulu agar lebih lembut dan tidak mudah robek. Industri kreatif dan inovasi produk ramah lingkungan akan menjadi fokus pengembangan pengelolaan pelepah pinang Ketersediaan bahan baku serta memberdayakan masyarakat berkelanjutan karena produk ini menjawab isu lingkungan khususnya isu Pegunaan Plastik Di Indonesia selama ini dan produk ini salah satu solusinya inovasi produk pelepah pinang penggganti plastik dan styrofoam Produk hasil inovasi pengelolaan pelepah pinang menjadi wadah makanan pengganti styrofoam adalahhasil kerajinan tangan masyarakat pinggiran guna menopang ekonomi keluarga  serta menjaga alam yang ramah lingkungan.
