Description of The Activiy
Background :
Indonesia has a lot of potential medicinal plant
which grown well in Indonesia’s soil. Those
plants can be developed and manufactured
further to become a herbal medicine called
“jamu”. Jamu is Indonesia’s traditional medicine
which is more affordable than purchasing
conventional medication. Those plants can also
used as a basic material for other industrial
product such as food, drink, or cosmetics. Those
reasons lead us to introduce the natural wealth
of Indonesia to all pharmacy student
Aims :
Hope that every student who joined the tour can
increase their knowledge about medicinal plant
in Indonesia, the products made from them, and
how to make it
Methods and used tools/materials :
We visited two places. The first place was Balai
Besar Peneletian dan Pengembangan Tanaman
Obat dan Obat Tradisional “BBPPTOOT”
(Association of the Research and Development of
Medicinal Plant and Traditional Medicine) and
the second place was the industry of basic
material using natural resources named “Java
Plant”.
When visiting Java Plant, we were given an
explanation about the history of their industries
and also jamu at first. Then we walked around
3
the industry. There were several people who
explained to us everything during the tour. We
could asked some question to them if there were
something unclear
We started our journey from the Faculty of
Pharmacy Universitas Gadjah Mada at 7 AM. It
took 4 hours to reach BBPPTOOT which is located
in Tawangmangu, Karanganyar. Then the tour
started at 11 AM and finished at 1 PM. After that
we continued our journey to Java Plant, we spent
an hour in Java Plant, from 2 PM – 3 PM.
Results :
BBPPTOOT is the national association of research
and development of medicinal plant and
traditional medicine. Most of the national
research about medicinal plants is conducted
there. During the tour we had a chance to know
the history of BBPPTOOT and jamu at first, and
continued by walking around to visit all
laboratory and herbal garden. We had an
opportunity to see the demonstration of how to
make jamu as well.
The second place is Java Plant. Java Plant is the
modern industry of basic material specialized in
botanical extraction. Their manufacturing
concerns in food, beverage, pharmaceutical,
nutraceutical, cosmetic and agriculture. They
have a good position as natural ingredient
manufacturer. We had an opportunity to know
4
the process of making basic ingredient of some
product. The process shown from the first form
of plant until become another form such as
extract, granule, powder or liquid.

Comments and/or ideas arising from the activity :
This kind of activity is a very good opportunity for pharmacy students to increase their
knowledge about medicinal plants; how they are processed in the industry, what kind of research has been conducted, what is the current issue about them, etc.
At first we set the limit of participants for only 30 person, based in who sign up first. But it turns out the enthusiasm of student was very good, better than we expected, so
for the next activity we will increase the number of participants.
