Abstract

COVID-19 not only brings problems to physical health but also mental health, such as anxiety. Excessive anxiety is very dangerous because it can reduce the number of white blood cells in the bloodstream. Excessive anxiety also triggers the production of excess cortisol which interferes with the immune system. This could be overcome by the combination of tea which has a relaxing effect with several immunomodulatory herbs. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been shown to have the effect of reducing one's anxiety and improving one's psychological health. The tea is combined with other spices, namely (Zingiber officinale), turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val), and cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii). This study was conducted to find out that the combination formed has met safety standards, so it can be used as an immunity-boosting drink during a pandemic. Standardization includes testing for moisture content, ash content, and organoleptic tests. The results obtained were the water content of herbal tea was as much as 6.26%, while the ash content of the tea was 5.74%. The water content and ash content had met the standards of the Ministry of Health regarding the preparation of herbal medicines. The organoleptic test performed showed that the formulation obtained was dominated by the taste of ginger, the color of turmeric, and the smell of cinnamon.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the utilization of watermelon rind waste as an active ingredient in the manufacture of liquid soap preparations and to obtain the best formulation of watermelon rind extract liquid soap that is physically stable. Watermelon rind waste contains many nutritious substances, such as antioxidants, that are beneficial for skin health but have not been widely utilized. This study utilizes citrulline compounds in watermelon rind, which act as antioxidants and potential vasodilators, to be used as active ingredients in the manufacture of bath soap preparations with the aim of removing dirt and stimulating blood circulation. Research method includes the preparation of thick watermelon rind extract, the preparation of salt solution, and the preparation of liquid soap preparation formulas with varying concentrations of watermelon rind extract. Evaluation includes an organoleptic test, pH, viscosity, foam height, foam stability, homogeneity, and spreadability to obtain a liquid soap formula with stable physical properties. Result showed that watermelon rind extract has the potential to be an active ingredient in liquid soap preparations in order to utilize waste and provide benefits for skin health.
