Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that can cause several diseases in humans such as ulcers and wound infections. Matoa leaves contain phenolic and flavonoid compounds which are known to have antibacterial properties. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract of Pometia pinnata J.R. & G.Forst leaves against Staphylococcus aureus at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. This research was conducted by disc diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media. Antibacterial activity was measured by looking at the inhibition of the growth of S. aureus bacteria. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the ethanolic extract of matoa leaves was able to inhibit the growth of S. aureu bacteria with the average inhibition zones produced at concentrations of 10%, 20% and 30%, namely 11.06 mm, 15.07 mm, 16.07 mm and control ciprofloxacin positive was 28.10 mm. From the results above, it can be concluded that the ethanolic extract of matoa (Pometia pinnata) leaves has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

Musa acuminata × balbisiana fruit peel is a waste that can be utilized to produce a biodegradable, non-toxic, and stable natural cellulose. Cellulose characteristics depend on their isolation process, such as delignification and hydrolysis process, and their natural sources. This research aims to determine the effect of different delignification and hydrolysis process on characteristic of isolated cellulose from Musa acuminata × balbisiana fruit peel. The isolation was conducted by different delignification process, which used sodium hydroxide with heating at 80° C for 20 and 30 minutes, and hydrolysis process using chloric acid and sulfuric acid. The isolated cellulose then was characterized using spectrophotometer FT-IR. The result showed that there were a decrease in absorption intensity, wave number shifts, and some missing peaks of the isolated cellulose by the delignification and hydrolysis process compared to the standard cellulose used.
