INNOVATION IN TOPICAL PATCH PREPARATIONS BASED ON SHALLOT EXTRACT (Allium cepa L.) AS SUPPORTIVE THERAPY MINOR WOUNDS: FORMULATION AND PHYSICAL EVALUATION

2025-12-08T00:47:07+00:00

A study was conducted on the formulation and evaluation of a shallot (Allium cepa L.) extract patch. The purpose of this study was to determine the formulation of a shallot extract patch that meets the preparation requirements and to determine at what concentration the evaluation results of the shallot extract patch meet the preparation requirements. The patch was prepared in three concentrations: FI (2,5%), FII (5%), and FIII (7,5%). The preparation was then evaluated using organileptic tests, pH, weight uniformity, folding resistance, patch thickness, and moisture absorption. Based on the research results, organoleptic test results of shallot patch FI, FII, and FIII have a yellow color, a slight aroma of shallots and menthol, and the texture and surface condition of FI are dry, smooth, flat, flexible, and not sticky, while FII and FIII have a texture and surface condition that is slightly wet, smooth, flat, flexible, and slightly sticky. The average weight uniformity of FI patches is 2.182, FII 2.761, FIII 3.569. The pH measurement of FI, FII, and FIII is the same, namely 6. The fold resistance of the patches is also the same, namely > 300, the thickness of FI patches is 0,80 while FII and FIII are the same, namely 0,82 and the moisture absorption capacity of FI patches is 4,76, FII 5,82 and FIII 7,47.The shallot extract patch that meets the preparation requirements is the patch preparation in FI, where all preparation evaluation results meet the specified preparation requirements.

2025-08-08T03:07:06+00:00

Lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) is one of the plants that can be used as traditional medicine. Parts of the lime plant that can be used as traditional medicine include the fruit, leaves, and peel. Lime peel waste is known to contain chemical compounds and as a raw material for medicine, standardization is needed to ensure its quality. The 70% ethanol extract of lime peel was made using the maceration extraction method. This study aimed to standardize both simplicia and 70% ethanol extract of lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) peel according to the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia (2017) guidelines to ensure quality for pharmaceutical raw material applications.Lime peel was processed into simplicia and extracted using maceration with 70% ethanol. Standardization was performed on both simplicia and extract based on specific (organoleptic, phytochemical screening) and non-specific parameters (drying loss, water content, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, ethanol-soluble extract, water-soluble extract, and specific gravity). All analyses were performed in triplicate (n = 3) and statistical significance was tested using SPSS version 26 with a confidence level of 95% (p < 0.05).Both simplicia and extract met the pharmacopoeial requirements and can be recommended as standardized raw materials for herbal pharmaceutical formulations. These findings provide a reference for the quality control of herbal raw materials and promote sustainable utilization of lime peel waste.

COMPARISON OF FLAVONOID CONTENT AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN LEAF AND PEEL EXTRACTS OF LANGSAT FRUIT (Lansium domesticum Corr.) FROM SOUTH KALIMANTAN

2026-01-19T07:13:52+00:00

Currently, various diseases are developing, ranging from mild to severe. One cause of these various diseases is free radicals. The negative impact of free radicals can be overcome with antioxidant compounds. One type of secondary metabolite with antioxidant activity is flavonoids. The leaves and peel of the langsat fruit (Lansium domesticum Corr.) are known to contain flavonoids, which can act as antioxidants. The aim of this study was to compare the flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of leaf and peel extracts of langsat fruit (Lansium domesticum Corr.) from South Kalimantan. Antioxidant testing used the DPPH (2-2-Diphenyl-1-Picryhydrazyl) method, and flavonoid levels were determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The total flavonoid content of the langsat leaf extract and langsat fruit peel extract was 28.296 ± 0.092 and 41.09 ± 0.000, respectively. Based on the mean ± SD values, vitamin C, langsat leaf extract, and langsat fruit peel extract exhibited antioxidant activities of 5.46 ± 1.177, 76.416 ± 0.104, and 48.014 ± 1.451, respectively, which were categorized as very strong, strong, and very strong antioxidants.

PHYSICAL STABILITY OF HAND WASHING SOAP PREPARATIONS LIME ESSENTIAL OIL (Citrus aurantifolia)

2026-01-26T03:53:23+00:00

The human hand's palm is highly susceptible to the spread of bacteria and microorganisms, which can lead to infection. Pharmaceutical preparations that are able to kill germs and bacteria are soaps. Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is a type of plant that contains essential oils that have antibacterial activity and can be used as an active ingredient in soap formulations. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of storage cycles on the results of the physical stability test of hand soap preparations formulated with lime essential oils using the cycling test method. This test method was carried out for 6 cycles at temperatures of 4°C and 40°C for 24 hours each by testing several parameters of the physical stability of hand soap preparations, including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, and foam height. The results of the organoleptic stability of the soap preparation were in the form of a thick, yellow liquid and had a distinctive lime odour. The soap preparation was homogeneous during 6 cycles of storage, with an average pH of 5.98, a viscosity of 524-578 cPs, and an average foam height of 52 mm. The results of data analysis in the stability test using one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between storage cycles, which means that the soap preparation was stable during the storage cycle.

FORMULATION AND PHYSICAL QUALITY TESTING OF MORINGA LEAVES AND GINGER COMBINATION TEA BAGS IN AN EFFORT TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE

2026-03-02T07:15:54+00:00

Functional foods, including functional beverages, play a crucial role in public health, including lowering blood pressure. In addition to health and nutritional aspects, food quality can be determined by its taste and the quality of natural ingredients. One such product is tea bags made from moringa leaves and ginger. Flavonoids, a secondary metabolic compound in moringa leaves and ginger, can be beneficial for health. This study aimed to determine the optimal formulation and to conduct physical quality tests on a combination of moringa leaves and ginger tea bags using two formulas. The tea bag formula used was a combination of moringa leaves and ginger with a ratio of F1 (2:1) and F2 (1:2). Physical quality tests were conducted in the form of pH, water content, organoleptic, and hedonic tests on 20 respondents. The results of the organoleptic test showed that F1 had a brown color, a moringa flavor with a ginger sensation, and a distinctive moringa odor, while F2 had a brown color, a ginger flavor with a moringa sensation, and a distinctive moringa odor. The pH test showed that F1 had a pH of 6.07, while F2 had a pH of 6.52. The water content test showed F1 results of 0.91% and F2 1.45%. The hedonic test showed that F1 preferred color, F2 preferred aroma, and F2 preferred taste. This study concludes that the physical quality tests of F1 and F2 are in accordance with the established quality standards, while the hedonic test preferred F2 with a percentage of color, aroma, and taste of 52.27%.
