Abstract

Kedayan roots are still used by the Lundayeh Dayak people as traditional medicine. This plant is one of the Aristolochia sp. species whose production and distribution as traditional medicine or food supplements are prohibited by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency of the Republic of Indonesia because it has side effects that are harmful to the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the toxicity of kedayan root infusion using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method based on the LC50 value. Toxicity test was carried out by varying the concentration of Kedayan root infusion, namely 100, 500, and 1000 ppm, as an intervention against Artemia salina Leach with a negative control in the form of 2.8% saline solution for 24 hours with 3 replications, then observing the presence or absence of movement of Artemia salina L. Larvae. Test results data in the form of % mortality obtained, then analyzed using the probit regression analysis method to determine the LC50 value. The results of this study indicate that the kedayan root infusion has very high toxicity, the LC50 value is 101.9278 ppm.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. Methods: The antibacterial activity was tested using the well diffusion method with varying concentrations of black cumin oil (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%), along with a negative control using ethyl acetate as the solvent. Additionally, a simple phytochemical screening was conducted using a test tube reaction method to detect the presence of active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The results showed that (1) black cumin oil at a concentration of 2% produced the largest inhibition zones, measuring 15.33 ± 3.21 mm for Staphylococcus aureus and 9.37 ± 1.98 mm for Pseudomonas aeruginosa; (2) Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences in several treatments, with a p-value < 0.05. The antibacterial effect of black cumin oil was stronger against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria, likely due to differences in bacterial cell wall structures; (3) Furthermore, black cumin oil tested positive for alkaloids and saponins, which are known as potential antimicrobial compounds. Overall, this study indicates that black cumin oil has the potential to serve as an effective natural antibacterial agent, particularly against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of black cumin oil ointment as an antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The ointment was formulated with three variations of black cumin oil concentrations (0.1%, 1%, and 10%) using a lipophilic base. The physical stability test was conducted by evaluating organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and adhesion. The antibacterial activity was tested using the well-diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and analyzed using the One Way ANOVA method followed by a post hoc Tukey test. The results of this study indicate that (1) The black cumin oil ointment demonstrated good physical stability, particularly in terms of homogeneity and pH; (2) The antibacterial activity test showed that the ointment with a 10% black cumin oil concentration (F3) effectively inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus with an efficacy not significantly different from gentamicin ointment (p = 0.477), but significantly different from the negative control (p = 0.027). However, no antibacterial activity was observed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Conclusion: The 10% black cumin oil ointment formulation has the potential as a natural antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus aureus. These findings suggest that black cumin oil can be further developed as a natural-based topical therapy alternative for treating skin infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the level of microbial contamination in street food sold and to conduct direct observations on environmental sanitation and hygiene practices carried out by street vendors in elementary school environments in Kecamatan Tarakan Tengah. The microbial contamination levels in 15 research samples, consisting of 9 types of food and 6 types of beverages, were randomly obtained from five different sub-districts and measured using the Total Plate Count (TPC) method. During the sampling process, observations and documentation of activities and conditions around the sales locations were conducted. The results of this study indicate that (1) all samples had TPC values far exceeding the limits set by BPOM, with the highest contamination found in pentol ayam goreng (8.69 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g) and es nutrijel stroberi (4.79 × 10¹⁰ CFU/ml); (2) The main factors contributing to the high microbial contamination, based on direct observations during sampling, include poor sanitation practices, exposure to an open environment, and the use of unhygienic equipment. Therefore, it can be concluded that street food sold in the vicinity of elementary schools in Kecamatan Tarakan Tengah presents a significant health risk to students due to the high level of microbial contamination.
