Saat tren minuman kesehatan meningkat, sereh tampil sebagai bahan utama minuman fungsional karena kekayaan senyawa bioaktifnya, terutama citral, yang memberikan aroma lemon segar sekaligus manfaat kesehatan. Citral merupakan senyawa aldehida monoterpena yang tersusun atas dua isomer, yaitu geranial (citral A) dan neral (citral B). Kandungannya dapat mencapai 70-85% dari total minyak atsiri sereh, menjadikannya komponen volatil dominan dengan aktivitas antioksidan, antimikroba, dan antiinflamasi (Guti\u00e9rrez-Pacheco et al., 2023). Khasiat inilah yang membuat minuman berbasis sereh memiliki nilai fungsional yang tinggi. Namun, citral memiliki satu kelemahan: tidak stabil. Senyawa ini mudah mengalami oksidasi, isomerisasi, dan degradasi ketika terpapar panas, cahaya, oksigen, atau ketika berinteraksi dengan komponen pangan seperti protein (Guo et al., 2022). Kondisi asam bahkan dapat mempercepat pembentukan senyawa turunan seperti citronellal dan geranic acid, yang menyebabkan aroma sereh melemah. <\/p>\n<p>Tantangan ini membuat formulasi minuman sereh membutuhkan pendekatan teknologi pangan yang tepat. Untuk menjaga kualitas citral, teknologi seperti mikroenkapsulasi digunakan untuk melindungi citral dari panas dan oksidasi. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mikroenkapsulasi minyak sereh mampu mempertahankan stabilitas kimia citral sekaligus aktivitas antioksidannya jauh lebih baik daripada bentuk bebas (Melo et al., 2022). Teknik lain seperti nanoemulsi dan penggunaan fosfolipid terhidrogenasi juga terbukti menekan degradasi citral dalam kondisi pengolahan yang keras (Feng et al., 2024). Dari sisi keamanan konsumsi, citral dinilai aman dengan Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) sebesar 0-0,5 mg\/kg berat badan per hari menurut JECFA (FAO\/WHO, 2004). BPOM RI juga mengizinkan citral sebagai flavouring agent selama digunakan sesuai prinsip GMP (BPOM RI, 2019). Sebagai rempah lokal yang kaya manfaat dan memiliki aroma khas, sereh menawarkan peluang besar bagi pengembangan minuman fungsional modern. Dengan dukungan teknologi pangan, citral dapat dipertahankan stabil sehingga produk minuman berbasis sereh tidak hanya lezat dan aromatik, tetapi juga fungsional dan berpotensi bersaing di pasar global.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sumber kutipan<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<em>Guti\u00e9rrez-Pacheco MM, Rangel-M\u00e9ndez JR, L\u00f3pez-Montesinos I, Hern\u00e1ndez-Ochoa L, Paredes-L\u00f3pez O, Calder\u00f3n-Santoyo M. 2023.
