Abstract

Indonesia is an important country that produces essential oils that are widely used in fragrance cosmetic products. The use of local essential oils for cosmetics needs to be introduced to the youth generation with the aim that they do not just become consumers. Youth organisations in Kerinci have many activities to improve their skills and abilities for a better future. Collaboration between the university and the youth organisation was achieved by providing training on doing cosmetic product training on making cosmetic products. The product uses essential oils called body mist. Nowadays, the youth still know very little about the manufacturing process of cosmetics products. To provide further benefits, this community service activity collaborated with BBPOM in Padang, West Sumatra, to explain cosmetic safety and the registration process of cosmetic products. With this series topic in this training and outreach-related cosmetics, it is hoped that it can increase business ideas for young people who are members of the Sakti Alam Kerinci Organisation.

Abstract

Indonesia's diabetes cases were in the top ten list globally, with 90% of the patients being type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).  An approach for screening the local edible plants is made for managing or treating T2DM by inhibiting α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes. Results showed that inflorescence of Etlingera elatior inhibition toward both enzymes. TLC-autography and IC50 value of fractions from E. elatior were used to identify the potential fractions and possible compounds for the activity. The non-polar fraction was spotted in the active substances based on TLC-autography. Then, the targeted compounds were separated by column chromatography to obtain stigmasterol as one of the active compounds. The IC50 values of total extract, n-hexane, EtOAc, BuOH, and isolated compound against α-glucosidase were 16.0, 7.5, 13.5, 9.7, and 2.0 ppm, respectively. The IC50 values for α-amylase inhibition were respectively 88.6, 48.6, 23.2, 29.1, and 27.5 ppm. The positive control (acarbose) against α-glucosidase and amylase exhibited IC50 values of 153.2 and 12.3 ppm. The inhibition of E. elatior against the two enzymes could be an alternative to delay carbohydrate absorption.
