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

Deniyati — 2026-01-21

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.

STANDARDIZATION OF SIMPLICIA AND LIME PEEL EXTRACT

Wahyunita Yulia Sari — 2026-01-21

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.
