Abstract

Jamu gendong, as the typical traditional herbal medicine of Indonesia, has been practised to treat various diseases. However, the contamination of hazardous pollutant which possibly occur will cause the other health poblems. This research observed lead (Pb) content of jamu gendong in three traditional markets in Malang. The jamu obtained from two sellers in each market and covered four replications. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) was used to analyze the Pb contained within jamu gendong. The results informed that the jamu sold in Batu, Belimbing, and Merjosari markets comprised of Pb with the average amount were 0.08 mg/L; 0.18 mg/L; and 0.09 mg/L respectively. This means that the Pb content of these three markets were under the threshold mentioned in SNI 7387:2009, yet they were higher than the standard mentioned in BPOM No.5 year 2018. By considering the results, the awareness of traditional herbal sellers in conducting the hygiene as considerable as their careness about contaminant resources need to be improved, therefore, the jamu gendong sold will be safer to be consumed.
