Abstract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) peel contains bioactive compounds known for their health benefits, yet potential toxicity at certain doses remains a concern. This study evaluates the histopathological effects of mangosteen peel decoction on the liver of Betta fish (Betta sp.), a sensitive model organism. Mangosteen peel decoction was prepared and administered to Betta fish at concentrations of 5, 25, and 50 ppm, with a control group receiving no treatment. Fish were observed for changes in swimming activity and appetite over five days. Liver tissues were collected, processed, and analyzed histologically to assess tissue damage including vacuolization, pyknosis, hemorrhage, and necrosis. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Behavioral analysis indicated a dose-dependent reduction in swimming activity and appetite in treated groups. Histopathological examination revealed significant liver damage across all treatment groups, with higher concentrations of decoction correlating with increased hemorrhage, pyknosis, and necrosis. Vacuolization was highest in the control group and lowest in the 50-ppm group. The overall hepatic damage was categorized as moderate, with the control group showing the least damage. Mangosteen peel decoction induced significant hepatic damage in Betta fish, highlighting the cytotoxic effects at higher doses. The observed behavioral and histopathological changes underscore the need for careful consideration of decoction concentrations to avoid adverse effects in aquatic organisms. This study provides crucial insights into the toxicological impacts of mangosteen peel decoction on fish liver health, emphasizing the importance of dose regulation in practical applications. Further research is recommended to explore protective measures and alternative treatments to mitigate liver damage.

Abstract

A shampoo is a product that is used to maintain hair. The most common hair problem is dandruff. A microorganism that causes dandruff is Malassezia furfur. Malassezia furfur is the causative microorganism that infects the skin and scalp into dandruff. This fungus can grow quickly if the head has excess oil glands. Rambutan leaf extract contains secondary metabolites that can inhibit fungal growth. Alkaloids can inhibit the growth of fungi because fungi can grow well at a pH of 3,8 – 5,6. Flavonoids and tannins can cause damage to cell membrane proteins, causing changes in membrane permeability and fungal cell membrane lysis. Saponins can break down fungal cells. A shampoo formulation from Rambutan leaf extract sets it apart from other anti-dandruff shampoos because its herbal composition is safe and increases bioavailability benefits. The method used is laboratory experimental. This research procedure is making rambutan leaf extract using a rotary evaporator, making shampoo by compounding the formulation components, growing test mushrooms on PDA media, making test mushroom suspensions, and conducting the research and data collection. The result showed that shampoo from rambutan leaf extract has an inhibition zone diameter of 0.3 cm to 0.6 cm had a moderate growth inhibition response. The results of the antifungal activity test showed that the rambutan leaf extract shampoo concentration of 10%, 15% and 30% can inhibit the growth of fungi with the best inhibitory concentration at 30% in a strong category.
