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 small-scale home industry. The making of "loloh" is usually passed down from generation to generation. So, the outstanding circulation has not been standardized and with different ingredients. "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, and tannins. The results of this study indicate that "loloh cemcem" produced in Penglipuran Village contains moderate levels of flavonoids and terpenoids (642.88 mg/100g), containing tannins, phenols, and alkaloids. In conclusion, "loloh cemcem" has the potential to be an antibacterial, antioxidant and another benefit that still needs further investigation.
