Abstract

Cinnamon is a species of the genus Cinnamomum, family Lauraceae, a woody plant commonly knownfor its use as a spice. A natural ingredient rich in benefits, with a distinctive aroma, is widely used forvarious purposes, including flavoring food and cakes. The most significant chemical componentspresent are cinnamic alcohol, coumarin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, anthocyanin, and essential oil,along with sugars, proteins, simple fats, pectin, and other compounds. The extraction results ofCinnamomum burmanii bark contain the main antioxidant compounds in the form of polyphenols(tannins, flavonoids) and phenolic group essential oils, which have antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral,antioxidant, antitumor, blood pressure-lowering, cholesterol-lowering, and low-fat properties. Thisactivity of making cinnamon bark herbal products in the form of rajangan, powder, and capsulepreparations can provide students with information, education, knowledge, and skills, as an alternativemedicinal preparation derived from natural ingredients.

Abstract

Background: Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MCFA), particularly lauric acid, which is known for its antibacterial properties. VCO has the potential to be formulated into a practical and hygienic paper soap dosage form. In paper soap formulation, glycerin acts as a plasticizer that affects the physical properties of the preparation, but its effect on antibacterial activity has not been widely explored. Objective: This study aimed to formulate VCO paper soap with variations in glycerin concentration and to analyze its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: This experimental research formulated four paper soap formulas with variations in glycerin concentration: 0% (F1), 10% (F2), 15% (F3), and 20% (F4). The preparations were evaluated through organoleptic tests, pH tests, foam height tests, and free alkali tests. Antibacterial activity was tested against Staphylococcus aureus using the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) with a positive control (commercial paper soap) and a negative control (aquadest). Results: The evaluation results showed that all formulas met the physico-chemical quality standards for soap. Formula 3 (15% glycerin) was the best preparation based on overall evaluation. The antibacterial test showed that all four VCO paper soap formulas (F1-F4) had moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with inhibition zone diameters that were not statistically significantly different. The negative control showed no activity, while the positive control showed strong antibacterial activity. Conclusion: It was concluded that VCO paper soap was successfully formulated and exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Variations in glycerin concentration (0-20%) did not significantly affect the antibacterial activity, which is presumed to be more influenced by the lauric acid content in VCO.

Abstract

Lichens are symbiotic association between fungi (mycobionts) and photosynthetic partners (phycobiont) that play essential ecological roles as bioindicators, pioneers in succession, and contributors to nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, the diversity and morphology of lichens in West Papua remain poorly documented. This study aimed to assess the morphology diversity of lichen taxa in Amban Regency, Manokwari, West Papua. The method used was explorative surveys with purposive sampling in Amban Regency (site I, II, and III) based on low, moderate, and high air quality. Lichen identification was based on morphological characteristic. The results showed that there were 27 species lichens belong to 12 genera and 8 families Chrysothrichaceae, Coenogoniaceae, Collemataceae, Graphidaceae, Megalosporaceae, Parmeliaceae, Physciaceae, and Strigulacea. The dominant species were from the families of Graphidaceae. Crustose lichens dominated (74%), foliose lichens (18%), with filamentous and leprose (4% each), while fruticose types were absent. Crustose lichens exhibited strong substrate adhesion and tolerance to variable microclimatic conditions with temperatures between 26,1-29,3°C, whereas foliose and filamentous forms were confined to more stable, and humid habitats between 72,0-85,4%. Continued surveys are recommended to monitor potential shifts in community composition under climate change and habitat disturbance.

Abstract

Carrots (Daucus carota L.) can be utilized as raw material for cosmetic preparations. Carrots contain many chemical compounds such as β-carotene and provitamin A. In addition to high provitamin A content, carrots also contain vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. This research aims to formulate carrot extract in a peel-off mask gel preparation. The peel-off mask gel formulation was made with variations in PVA concentration, namely 0% (FI); 2.5% (FII); 5% (FIII) and 7.5% (FIV). Evaluation of peel-off mask gel preparation includes organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, drying time, irritation test and liking test. The results showed that all formulas of peel-off mask gel preparations had met the requirements in terms of organoleptic aspects, homogeneity, spreadability, and drying time and did not irritate the skin so it was safe to use. Carrot extract can be formulated in peel-off mask gel preparation and the best preparation formula is F IV with 7.5% PVA concentration.
