Abstrak: Pandemi COVID-19 telah berdampak pada kualitas kesehatan dan perekonomian masyarakat. Kemampuan dalam pemanfaatan peluang usaha merupakan keharusan yang perlu dilakukan oleh masyarakat melalui inovasi produk yang berhubungan dengan kesehatan. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat tentang diversifikasi produk pangan fungsional berbahan jahe yang dapat meningkatkan sistem imun tubuh dan menjadi peluang usaha pada masa pandemi ini. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan penyuluhan kepada kader PKK RW 06 Kecamatan Rungkut Surabaya yang terdiri 20 orang ibu-ibu yang merupakan kelompok aktif dalam kegiatan pembangunan masyarakat. Evaluasi melalui metode pre-test dan Post-Test dilakukan untuk mengetahui peningkatan pemahaman mitra terhadap materi penyuluhan. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi, terdapat peningkatan pemahaman mitra terhadap keseluruhan materi sebesar 55.56 %, dan empat komponen materi penyuluhan yang terdiri dari sistem imun, pangan fungsional, jahe dan diversifikasi produk juga mengalami peningkatan mencapai 62,5-84,38 %. Hasil peningkatan pemahaman tersebut diharapkan dapat menjadi awal dalam penyelesaian permasalahan mitra pada masa pandemi ini.Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the quality of public health and the economy. The ability to take advantage of business opportunities is a must that the community necessary do through product innovation related to health. This community service aims to increase public knowledge about the diversification of functional foods made from ginger that can improve the body's immune system and become a business opportunity during this pandemic. The method used is counseling to PKK RW 06 cadres, Rungkut District, Surabaya, which consists of 20 women who are active in community development activities. Pre- and Post-Test methods were evaluated to determine the increase in partners' comprehension of the counseling topics. Based on the evaluation results, there was an increase in partners' comprehension of the entire topics by 55.56%, and the four components of the counseling topics consisting of the immune system, functional foods, ginger, and product diversification also increased to 62.5 - 84.38%. The increased partner's comprehension is expected to be the beginning of solving partner problems during this pandemic.
Saintifikasi Jamu, or the scientific investigation of Jamu, is an evidence-based process to ensure the safety and efficacy of herbal medicine through health service research. Jamu has been empirically explored as a composition of various crude drugs, hence called as Scientific Jamu. Phyllanthus niruri and Sonchus arvensis are two of the 30 medicinal plants processed into Scientific Jamu. Components of the Scientific Jamu are standardized to ensure that these materials meet the predefined quality. This study was aimed to determine the specific parameters (macroscopic, microscopic, total flavonoid content, water-soluble extract content, and ethanol-soluble extract content) and non-specific parameters (loss on drying, total ash content, and acid insoluble ash content) of Phyllanthus niruri and Sonchus arvensis collected from Batu, Tawangmangu, and Bogor. The methods of the determination referred to the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia 1st Edition (2008). The results showed that Phyllanthus niruri and Sonchus arvensis from the three places did not meet the standard requirement.
Jamu is Indonesian indigenous herbal medicine that has been used empirically to prevent and treat various diseases. To provide evidence on its safety and efficacy, Indonesian government has developed Jamu into Standardized Herbal Medicine and Phytopharmaca. Another strategy is development of Jamu into Scientific Jamu. This herbal medicine has assurance on safety and efficacy through health service-based research. Its raw material is various crude drugs. The problem of this type of raw material is that, depending on the environmental conditions, the quality can vary significantly. This study aimed to standardize crude drug of four medicinal plants included in the composition of Scientific Jamu. They are Orthosiphonis Staminei Folium, Centellae Asiaticae Herba, Curcumae Domesticae Rhizomae, and Curcumae Xanthorrhizae Rhizomae which were collected from three different origins in Indonesia, i.e.: Batu, Bogor, and Tawangmangu Districts. Standardization was conducted by determination of specific parameters (macroscopic, microscopic, total phenolics or flavonoids content, water and ethanol soluble extract) and non specific parameters (loss on drying, total ash, acid-insoluble ash). The results were then compared to Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia to conclude wether the crude drugs have a good quality. Orthosiphonis Staminei Folium, Centellae Asiaticae Herba, Curcumae Domesticae Rhizomae, and Curcumae Xanthorrizae Rhizomae from Batu, Tawangmangu, and from Bogor met specific parameters (macroscopic, microscopic, water and ethanol soluble extracts) as required by Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. However, they failed to comply some non specific parameters especially ash content. All the results represented important information origin of the plant material and the crude drugs should be checked for their specific and non specific parameters before used to ensure their quality.
Kurangnya pengetahuan dan ketrampilan petani jeruk nipis dalam pengolahan produk berbahan jeruk nipis, menjadi permasalahan ketika panen melimpah. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk membantu para petani jeruk nipis dalam meningkatkan kapasitas dan kualitas serta nilai jual jeruk nipis melalui pembuatan modul, pelatihan pembuatan minuman kesehatan dan sabun cuci tangan berbahan dasar jeruk nipis serta pendampingan selama program pengabdian. Dari kegiatan yang dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa penguasaan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan dalam mengolah jeruk nipis dapat meningkatkan produktivitas petani.
The dark green leaves of Sauropus androgynus (Euphorbiaceae) have various nutritive values and are commonly used for human consumption as food, medicine, and natural dye substance in South-east Asia. Shoot cultures of this plant were established by adding various concentrations of kinetin (Kn) and benzyl adenine (BA) using nodal explants. The best results were recorded when Kn 0.1 mg/L was used with BA 1 mg/L (BA1Kn0.1). Spectrophotometric analysis showed two peaks of green pigment in shoot cultures, A pigment (λmax = 663.6 - 663.8 nm, absorbance 0.1111) and B pigment (λmax= 611.3 - 613.9 nm, absorbance 0.0390). Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis showed two green spots (Rf Y = 0.31 and Rf Z = 0.25) of shoot cultures on medium supplemented with BA1Kn0.1 for 10 days. Pigment profiles of shoot culltures were similar to their corresponding mother plants. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used as a preliminary technique to evaluate the genetic similarity of the shoot cultures and their corresponding mother plants. It showed four similar DNA banding patterns to their leaves, ranging from 271-765 bp.
