Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by increased blood glucose levels. Currently, the treatment of diabetes mellitus uses synthetic or chemical drugs and natural ingredients such as virgin coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is extracted with minimal heating and no chemical purification process. This study aims to obtain data on the impact of VCO as an antidiabetic obtained from several research journals. This literature study uses a narrative review method obtained from the Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct databases. The results of this study indicate that VCO can be used as an alternative to lowering blood glucose levels because it has antidiabetic activity.

Abstract
Collagen is an essential protein in connective tissue, widely used as a bioactive. Raw collagen is obtained from cattle, buffalo, and pigs with problems spreading infectious animal diseases. Collagen can be obtained from waste milkfish (Chanos chanos) scales as an alternative source of mammal raw materials. This study aims to determine the acetic acid's most effective concentration and maceration time in isolating collagen from milkfish scales based on the preservative and emulsifying determination. This research is quasi-experimental design by testing the isolated collagen against collagen yield, proximate analysis of collagen, pH test, preservative test, and analysis of emulsifier substances. The results of the isolation of collagen in all treatment groups had emulsifying and preservative abilities, where a concentration of 0.5 M acetic acid with a maceration time of 72 hours produced the most effective collagen as an emulsifier based on the results of the emulsion stability test and emulsion layer boundary test, as well as at the concentration of 0, acetic acid 5 M with variations in maceration time of 48 hours and 72 hours produced the most effective collagen as a preservative.
