Abstract

Bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) is known for its wound-healing potential due to its flavonoids, saponins, triterpenoids, and tannins. This study aims to develop a practical and stable dosage form of Bilimbi leaf extract, specifically a cream, and evaluate its efficacy as a wound-healing agent. Bilimbi leaf extract at 2% concentration was formulated into a cream with two variations of triethanolamine concentration as an emulsifier, F1 (2%) and F2 (4%). Data were collected through observation and measurement scales during the cream formulation stage. The effectiveness of the cream as a cut wound healer was assessed using a randomized control group pre-test and post-test design. Physical properties, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, and mechanical stability, were observed, and spreadability was measured. Both formulations met the criteria for creams with good physical quality and effectively reduced the wound length to 0 cm within the 7-day observation period. In contrast, in the control group, wounds still appeared to be 0.4-1 cm in size. In conclusion, the findings in this study indicate that the cream containing 2% Bilimbi leaf extract (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) has favorable physical characteristics and effectively heals incision wounds in male white mice. This formulation shows promise for further development regarding efficacy, safety, stability, and market acceptability.

Abstract

Plant-based mosquito control offers a promising alternative to reduce the health and environmental risks associated with chemical insecticides. Citrus hystrix DC. (kaffir lime), a member of the Citrus genus, produces essential oils rich in bioactive compounds such as limonene, citronellal, and terpinolene, which are known for antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. This study focused on extracting essential oil from kaffir lime fruit, identifying its chemical constituents using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and evaluating the repellent efficacy of its spray formulation against Aedes aegypti. Essential oil was obtained through steam distillation and analyzed by GC-MS to determine its chemical profile. Repellent activity was assessed experimentally using 100 adult mosquitoes divided into five treatment groups, with spray formulations prepared at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc tests. GC-MS analysis revealed 90 compounds, with five major constituents: D-limonene (14.57%), limonene (13.92%), citronellal (6.66%), terpinolene (6.47%), and α-terpineol (5.74%). Repellent testing demonstrated that the 15% concentration provided the highest protection against mosquito landings. These findings confirm the potential of kaffir lime essential oil as an effective natural mosquito repellent and provide a scientific basis for developing eco-friendly, plant-derived vector control products. This research contributes to reducing dependence on synthetic insecticides and supports sustainable strategies for vector management that prioritize human health and environmental safety.

Abstract

Background: Avocado seeds contain phenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanidin compounds that have antioxidant activity. The stability of phenolic compounds depends on the pH of the solution. A decrease in total phenolic levels causes a decrease in antioxidant activity. The chemical stability and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of avocado seed extract against pH are not yet known.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of pH on the chemical stability and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of avocado seed extract.Methods: Chemical stability was observed from changes in total phenolic levels, and stability of DPPH free radical scavenging activity was observed from the difference in the percentage of DPPH reduction of the extract solution in phosphate-citrate buffer at pH 3.24, 5.52, and 7.44 before and after being heated at 60°C for 2 hours.Results: The average decrease in total phenolic levels of the extract in buffer pH 3.24, 5.52, and 7.44 before and after being heated was 5.76%, 3.89%, and 22.08%, respectively. The decrease in DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the extract in buffer pH 3.24, 5.52, and 7.44 before and after heating was 24.78%, 1.96%, and 56.09%, respectively. There is a significant difference in the total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the acetone extract solution in phosphate–citrate buffer at pH 3.24 and 7.44 before and after heating, but there is no significant difference at pH 5.52.Conclusion: Therefore, in the development of formulations containing acetone extract of avocado seeds, buffering at a pH close to 5.22 is required.

Abstract

Background: Excessive ultraviolet (UV) exposure is a major contributor to skin photoaging through oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen degradation. Mangrove leaf extract (Xylocarpus granatum J. Koenig) contains bioactive compounds with potential photoprotective properties. In this study, the extract was formulated into an oil-in-water (O/W) cream suitable for cosmetic applications.Objective: This study aimed to determine the in vitro sun protection factor (SPF), percentage of erythema transmission (%Te), and percentage of pigmentation transmission (%Tp) of the mangrove leaf extract cream, and to evaluate its effectiveness on UVB-exposed guinea pig skin using collagen density as an anti-aging biomarker.Methods: In vitro assessments of SPF, %Te, and %Tp were performed using UV–Vis spectrophotometry. In vivo evaluation was conducted using 20 guinea pigs to examine the effect of the cream on collagen density through histopathological analysis of UVB-exposed skin.Results: The mangrove leaf extract cream exhibited strong photoprotective activity, with SPF values ranging from 20.68 ± 0.51 to 33.70 ± 0.67, %Te values from 3.13 ± 0.08 to 1.75 ± 0.03, and %Tp values from 4.40 ± 0.12 to 3.31 ± 0.03. Furthermore, the cream significantly increased collagen density (71.77 ± 5.27–81.02 ± 0.96) compared with the positive control (52.16 ± 2.32) (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The mangrove leaf extract cream provides effective protection against UVB radiation, characterized by high-protection SPF, extra-protection %Te, and sunblock-level %Tp. The 5% formulation significantly enhanced collagen density, supporting its potential as a natural anti-aging active ingredient for photoaging prevention through improved UV protection and dermal structure.

Abstract

Red dragon fruit is rich in nutrients and minerals as well as phytoalbumin and antioxidant compounds such as phenolic compounds and vitamin C. Corn contains vitamins A, B, and E as antioxidants, as well as Thiamin, which can reduce black spots on acne scars and dry out wounds. Peel-off masks are cosmetic preparations for facial care that can form a thin, transparent layer on the surface of the skin and can be peeled off after drying, so they are practical to use. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a film-forming polymer and can increase viscosity, which in turn plays a role in producing peel-off masks that have good physical quality. This study aims to formulate peel-off masks of red dragon fruit extract (Hylocereus lemairei Hook.) and corn starch with varying concentrations of PVA (F1:2.5%, F2:8.75%, F3:17.5%) in order to have a high-quality good physique. The evaluation of the physical quality of the red dragon fruit and corn starch peel-off masks was organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, and drying time. The organoleptic preparations (F1-F3) were brownish-orange in color, with a distinctive rose odor, with increased viscosity from F1 to F3, and remained stable for up to 4 weeks of storage. The homogeneity of preparation (F1-F3) was homogeneous and lasted for 4 weeks of storage. The pH value of the preparation on day 1, F1 and F2, had a pH of 4, and F3 had a pH of 4.5. From the 1st to the 4th week, the pH of preparations F1-F3 was 4.5, according to the physiological pH of the skin, 4-8. The spreadability of F1-F3 preparations was in the 5.5-6.5 cm range, according to 5-7 cm provisions. The adhesive power of the F1-F3 preparations was in the range of 5.29-40.1 seconds, which is recommended for more than 1 second. The drying time of F1-F3 preparations was in the range of 20.58-30.45 minutes, according to the provisions of 15-30 minutes. The three red dragon fruit and corn starch peel-off mask formulas (F1, F2, and F3) meet the requirements for good physical quality according to the criteria set and recommended. Increasing the PVA concentration did not affect the pH value and spreadability of the three formulas but increased the adhesiveness value and drying time.
