Phytochemical test on herbal drinks loloh cemcem at Penglipuran Village, Bali

Abstract

Loloh is a traditional Balinese drink that is believed to be able to overcome certain diseases. The Balinese people make loloh independently for self-consumption or trading in the small-scale home industry. The making of loloh is usually passed down from generation to generation, but until now has not been standardized. Loloh cemcem is one of the traditional drinks from The Penglipuran Village, Bangli Regency, Bali. This study aims to conduct phytochemical tests on loloh cemcem in Bali, especially from Penglipuran Village. Phytochemical tests include levels of alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, phenolics, saponins, flavonoids, steroid, and tannins. The results of this study indicate that loloh cemcem produced in Penglipuran Village contains flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, phenols, and alkaloids. But do not contain saponins and steroids. Loloh cemcem has the potential to be an antibacterial, antioxidant and another benefit that still needs further investigation.
