Yangko cake is a semi-wet food made from glutinous rice flour with the addition of a sugar solution. In order to improve the characteristics of the yangko cake, an ingredient is added, namely kidney bean flour and cinnamon extract. Kidney beans are one type of legume that has a high protein source so it can add nutritional value to food products. Kidney bean has an unpleasant taste, therefore it needs to be balanced with the addition of cinnamon extract, which is expected to reduce the unpleasant flavor of the yangko cake which consumers preferred. The experimental design used is a CRD, with the first factor being the ratio of glutinous rice flour and kidney bean flour with a ratio of 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30. The addition of cinnamon extract in various amounts (2 ml, 4 ml, and 6 ml) was the second element. The inclusion of substitute glutinous rice flour and kidney bean flour, coupled with the variation of cinnamon extract produced yangko cake with 3,80% fiber content and 5,76% protein content.  Chemically, physically and organoleptically, the best product from several formulations of the yangko cake was with 70:30 of glutinous rice flour to kidney bean flour and 6 ml of cinnamon extract, with 47.98% water content, 0.66% as content, 31,36% total sugar content and with a hardness of 28.82 N, a gumminess of 4.92 N, a chewiness of 2.28 N then a cohesiveness of 0.64 Ns.  The organoleptic characteristic of the yangko cake was the most preferred by the panelists, with a value of 3,76 (preferred). The yangko cake substitusion of glutinous rice flour and kidney beans with the addition of cinnamon extract is a food ingredient  that has quite high protein and fiber.

Coumarin, a key bioactive compound in cinnamon, is known for its anticoagulant, antibiotic, and anti-carcinogenic properties. This study investigates the potential of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanni) extract as a natural anticoagulant using both the Lee-White method, for visual observation of clotting time, and blood smear analysis for microscopic evaluation. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of the extract in preventing blood coagulation compared to untreated blood samples. Results demonstrated that blood without any anticoagulant clotted within an average time of 5 minutes and 33 seconds. In contrast, blood treated with cinnamon extract did not exhibit coagulation, indicating a significant anticoagulant effect. Microscopic examination further supported these findings, as the blood cells in the treated samples appeared separated, with no visible aggregation or linkage between the cells. These findings suggest that cinnamon extract has strong potential as a natural anticoagulant, offering a safer and more accessible alternative to synthetic anticoagulants. Further research could explore its applications in medical treatments, particularly in conditions requiring blood thinning or clot prevention. This study highlights the potential of cinnamon as a valuable bioactive agent in the field of biomedical science, especially for anticoagulation therapies.
