Abstract

Excessive and prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause pigmentation, wrinkles, erythema, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Therefore, sunscreen products are needed to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation. Fig fruit (Ficus racemosa L.) contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, steroids, saponins, and tannins that potentially act as natural sunscreen agents. This study aimed to evaluate the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) and irritation potential of sunscreen lotion containing ethanolic extract of Ficus racemosa L. fruit. The extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol. SPF values were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and irritation testing was conducted using the Human 4-Hour Patch Test with 15 healthy female volunteers. The SPF values of the formulation containing 0 g (F0), 0.125 g (F1), 0.250 g (F2), 0.500 g (F3), and 1.000 g (F4) extract were 1.3473, 1.5970, 2.4371, 4.1191, and 4.3891, respectively. Based on SNI number 16-4399-1996, only F3 and F4 fulfilled the minimum SPF requirement of 4. No erythema or edema was observed in all formulations. These results indicate that higher extract concentration increased sunscreen activity, and F3 and F4 showed the highest SPF values with moderate sunscreen protection.

Abstract

This study investigates the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts of renggak fruit (Amomum dealbatum Roxb.), an edible plant traditionally consumed in Lombok, Indonesia. The novelty of this research lies in the evaluation of fruit extracts of A. dealbatum, which have been rarely studied compared to other plant parts, particularly in relation to antioxidant potency and antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, a clinically relevant pathogen associated with severe pneumonia and antibiotic resistance. Extraction was carried out using a maceration method with 96% ethanol under controlled temperature and duration to preserve thermolabile compounds. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and terpenoids. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging assay, yielding an ICβ‚…β‚€ value of 10.33 ppm, indicating very strong antioxidant activity compared to other reported Amomum species. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method at extract concentrations of 20–100%, showing moderate inhibitory effects against K. pneumoniae with inhibition zones ranging from 7.34 to 9.48 mm. These findings highlight renggak fruit as a promising natural source of antioxidant and antibacterial agents, supporting their potential application as functional food ingredients or natural therapeutics.
