Abstract

Antioxidants from dietary plants have been thought to be good for human health. Brassica oleracea vegetables are potential antioxidant vegetables. Cikajang is one of the vegetable-producing centers in West Java, located in Garut district. Vegetables cultivated in the Cikajang area include cabbage, cauliflower, and keciwis, which are species of Brassica oleracea. There is no research regarding the phytochemistry and antioxidant activity of Brassica oleracea vegetables collected in Cikajang. Behalf of that, this research aims to determine the phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of cabbage, cauliflower, and keciwis from Cikajang. The phytochemical screening was carried out using several identification reagents, while the antioxidant activity test was carried out using the DPPH (2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl) method. The results of phytochemical screening show that in the dry powder and extract of cabbage, flavonoids, phenols, and steroids/triterpenoids were identified. In the dry powder and extract of cauliflower, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, and steroid/triterpenoids were identified. In the dry powder and extract of keciwis, flavonoids, saponins, gallic tannins, and phenols were identified. The results of the antioxidant activity test using DPPH show that vitamin C as a standard had an IC50 value of 5.223 µg/ml, while the IC50 values of cabbage, cauliflower, and keciwis extracts were 39.948, 35.199, and 15.032 µg/ml, respectively.

Abstract

The popularity of herbal cosmetics has been growing due to their effectiveness and ability to reduce the adverse effects associated with the use of synthetic goods. Plants contain phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, triterpenoids, and tannins, which give them many health benefits, such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, UV protection, skin regeneration, depigmentation, anti-dandruff properties, and more. Plants like tomatoes and Aloe vera contain phytochemicals that can be used in cosmetics. We want to give you all the information you need about how tomatoes and Aloe vera might be used in cosmetics. This includes what chemicals they contain, how they work biologically, and how to make cosmetics with them. This article review employs online literature studies as its methodology. The research data comprises articles sourced from reputable journal platforms, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Research Gate. These articles were selected from publications spanning the period from 2013 to 2023. The research that has already been done supports the idea that both tomatoes and Aloe vera contain many chemicals that could be used in cosmetic treatments.

Abstract

Over the past three decades, a plethora of scientific publications have indicated that medicinal plants may offer a viable substitute for antibiotics. Research on the antibacterial activity of lime peel, or Citrus aurantifolia L., has been widely published. This review aimed to highlight the lime peel as antibacterial agents. Numerous scientific papers included for this review demonstrated the potentially effective antibacterial properties of lime peel. Strong antibacterial activity is exhibited by lime peel essential oils, extracts, and fractions. One component of lime peel essential oils that contributes to its antibacterial properties is limonene. According to this study, infections brought on some bacteria including cariogenic bacteria and acne bacteria can be treated using lime peel.
