Abstract

Sweet potato, especially the purple variety, is a widely cultivated agricultural commodities known for its high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins and other bioactive compounds beneficial for skin health. While primarily consumed as food, sweet potatoes also hold potential for non-food applications, one of which is the production of natural-based solid soap. This study explores the potential of sweet potato extract as an active ingredient in solid soap production, evaluated through its physical, chemical, and functional properties. The method involves ethanol extraction of purple sweet potatoes, followed by a saponification process using NaOH concentrations ranging from 3.5% to 12.5%, combined with plant-based oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil. The findings are expected to demonstrate that sweet potatoes offer more than just nutritional value, they can also serve as a natural, eco-friendly, and economically valuable component in the formulation of herbal solid soap.

Abstract

The production of liquid soap using natural raw materials such as pandan leaves and citrus fruits is an innovative effort to utilize local resources with the potential to improve the community’s economy. Pandan and citrus contain beneficial natural compounds, including distinctive aromas, antibacterial properties, and antioxidants, making them suitable ingredients for environmentally friendly personal care products. This activity aims to provide knowledge and practical skills to the community in processing natural materials into marketable liquid soap products, while also creating opportunities for small-scale household enterprises. The methods applied include raw material extraction, liquid soap formulation, as well as training in product packaging and marketing. The results indicate that liquid soap made from pandan and citrus has good quality, is safe for use, and is well accepted by consumers due to its natural ingredients and fresh fragrance. Furthermore, this activity enhances community creativity, self-reliance, and income. Therefore, the production of liquid soap based on pandan and citrus can serve as a sustainable alternative business that supports community economic development through the utilization of local potential.
