Red rose (Rosa damascena Mill) is one of the plant that can be easily found in Indonesia. The corolla of red roses contains natural dyes, namely anthocyanins which can be used as food coloring and the function as antioxidants or counteract free radicals. The corrola of red roses is used as a raw material in distillation of rose water. Rose water distillation poduces is a dark red liquid. This liquid waste has not been utilized optimally. Therefore, that further research is needed to determine the chemical content in it. So that the expected outcome of this research is the best chemical and sensory analysis of red rose water distillation waste based on it's antioxidant activity. The research design used a 2 factor factorial completely randomized design (CRD).

Complete Randomized Design factorial with two factors were used in this research. The first factor was the ratio of rice flour and potatoes flour (10:90, 15:85, 20:80). The second factors was the levels of celery extract to water addition of dough (0,78; 1,04; 1,56%). The vermicelli were then tested for moisture content, ash content, crude fiber content and antioxidant activity as well as sensory analysis. The data analyse using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The best treatment was on ratio of substitution potatoes flour 20:80(g) with celery extract (0,78%). The fermicelli produced has the following characteristics water 10,65%, ash content 0,52%, fiber content 3,45% and 19,25% antioxidant activity. Femicelli produced in accordance with the quality requirements of SNI No. 01- 2975-2006. The sensory test of fermicelli that having color for dry fermicelli (3,82) color is yellowish dark green, color for wet fermicelli (3.62) is slightly faded green, texture (2,68) is not chewy, after taste (3.36) the taste of celery that lingers after being swallowed and overall preference (3,42).

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, with Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the causative agent. The emergence of drug-resistant forms, such as Multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and Extensive-drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), poses substantial challenges in TB management. This study focuses on analyzing the cost variations associated with laboratory examinations for MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients undergoing treatment cycles at a tertiary hospital.The methodology involved the inclusion of patients diagnosed with MDR-TB or XDR-TB who underwent a range of laboratory tests during their treatment. A cross-sectional retrospective analytics approach was employed, utilizing medical records from the hospital's MDR division.The results of the study, encompassing 30 MDR-TB patients and 2 XDR-TB patients, revealed significant differences in laboratory examination costs between the MDR-TB and XDR-TB groups (p = 0.018). This disparity underscores the financial burden associated with managing drug-resistant TB variants, particularly in terms of laboratory monitoring and diagnostic procedures.The discussion delves into the implications of these cost variations, highlighting the challenges faced by healthcare systems and patients in resource allocation and financial planning for TB treatment. The findings underscore the importance of cost-effective strategies and optimized laboratory protocols to ensure comprehensive yet affordable care for MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients.In conclusion, this study sheds light on the considerable cost variations in laboratory examinations for MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients, emphasizing the need for efficient resource utilization and targeted interventions to address the financial aspects of managing drug-resistant TB strains effectively.
