Abstract

Faloak (Sterculia quadrifida R.Br) stem bark tea is consumed as herbal drink by some people on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The potential and bioactive content of faloak stem bark can be increased by fermenting it into kombucha, considering that there has been no use of stem bark, especially faloak stem bark, as the main substrate in kombucha fermentation. This study aims to examine the effects of various concentrations of faloak stem bark tea (0,8, 1,2, 1,6, 2% (w/v)) on the chemical characteristics (pH, total acid, total phenol, total sugar) and the antioxidant potential of faloak stem bark kombucha during the fermentation process on Day 0 and Day 14. During 14 days of fermentation, it was found that the concentration of faloak stem bark tea, with the best concentration of 1.6% (w/v), had a significant effect on changes in chemical characteristics and antioxidant activity, namely pH 2.6, total acid 0.62%, total sugar 7.15% total phenol 467.92 mg/L GAE, total flavonoid 4135.14 mg/L QE, and antioxidant activity of 82.21%. Therefore, faloak stem bark tea has the potential to be used as a substrate in the making of kombucha with tea concentration of 1.6% (w/v) fermented for 14 days.

Abstract

Exploration of the potential of alternative ingredients to replace black tea or green tea in making kombucha has begun to be widely carried out. On Timor Island, faloak stem bark is processed into a traditional drink by some locals. For this reason, the use of faloak stem bark as a basic ingredient for kombucha needs to be studied, especially in exploring its antibacterial potential, which is analyzed based on the concentration of sugar used. This study aims to determine the chemical characteristics and antibacterial activity of faloak stem bark kombucha with various concentrations of sugar. The methods involved making faloak stem bark kombucha with varying sugar concentrations of 6, 8, 10, and 12% (w/v), and testing chemical characteristics in the form of pH, total acid, total sugar, and total phenol tests. Meanwhile, the antibacterial activity testing used a good diffusion method against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 bacteria. After 14 days of fermentation, faloak stem bark kombucha with a 12% sugar concentration showed the best chemical characteristics, with pH, total acid, total sugar, and total phenol values of 2.91, 1.19%, 7.33%, and 420.15 mg GAE/L, respectively. Furthermore, antibacterial activity also showed the highest inhibition (13.02 mm) at a sugar concentration of 12%. Thus, faloak bark kombucha made with a sugar concentration of 12% has the potential to be antibacterial.
