Abstract

Cinnamon hidrosol (Cinnamomum verum) is a byproduct of the distillation process that has potential as an antioxidant and sunscreen, but is still rarely utilized. This study aims to determine the phytochemical content, sunscreen activity (SPF), and antioxidant activity of cinnamon hidrosol. Hidrosol was obtained by distillation for 4 hours with a ratio of material and solvent 1:3.5. Phytochemical tests were carried out qualitatively, SPF activity testing was carried out using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method, and antioxidant activity testing used the DPPH method. The results showed that hidrosol from the distillation flask contained alkaloids, saponins, and phenolics, while from the distillate flask contained flavonoids, alkaloids, and phytosterols. The SPF test results showed the highest value in the distillation flask hidrosol of 39.78 which is included in the ultra protection category. The results of the antioxidant activity test showed an increasing % inhibition with increasing concentration, with an IC₅₀ value of the distillation flask hidrosol of 310.77 µg/mL (very weak category). In conclusion, cinnamon hidrosol has potential as a natural sunscreen ingredient, despite its relatively weak antioxidant activity. Therefore, it can be used as an additive in cosmetic products.

Abstract

White turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria. Rosc) is a medicinal plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and is part of the Curcuma genus. The rhizome of white temu contains more than 10 sesquiterpenes, such as curcumin, ethyl p-methoxycinnamate, β-turmerone, and others. The extract of temu lawak contains flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and alkaloids. White temu has potential as an antioxidant and sunscreen, but it is still seldom optimally utilized. This study aims to evaluate the Sun Protector Factor (SPF) value and the ability of white turmeric extract (Curcuma zedoaria. Rosc) to scavenge free radicals. The extraction was performed by maceration using 70% ethanol as a solvent at a ratio of 1:10. Phytochemical screening results indicate the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, and phytosterols in the extract. The SPF test was conducted in vitro using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer through the Mansur method, obtaining an SPF value of 16.17 at a concentration of 500 ppm and 30.98 at a concentration of 1000 ppm, which falls into the ultra protection category. The antioxidant activity test was conducted using the DPPH method at a maximum wavelength of 515 nm, with the highest percentage inhibition reaching 80% at a concentration of 500 ppm. The obtained IC50 value is 93.43 ppm. These results indicate that white temu extract has potential for development as an active ingredient in natural sunscreen and also as an antioxidant.
