Abstract

This mini-review aims to provide an overview of some commonly used anti-inflammatory herbs in Indonesia. Inflammation is a complex physiological response that plays a role in various diseases, and herbal remedies have been used traditionally in Indonesian culture for their potential anti-inflammatory properties. We utilize Portal Garuda as the primary database for searching herbs with anti-inflammatory activity using the keyword "anti-inflamasi”. The selected herbs discussed in this review include turmeric (Curcuma longa), ginger (Zingiber officinale), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), and cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.). These herbs have been reported to possess anti-inflammatory effects through various mechanisms, such as inhibition of pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines, antioxidant activity, and modulation of immune responses. Moreover, these herbs have also demonstrated safety profiles in traditional use. However, further scientific research is needed to elucidate the specific bioactive compounds responsible for their anti-inflammatory effects and to determine the optimal dosages and formulations for therapeutic use. The exploration of Indonesian anti-inflammatory herbs could contribute to the development of natural and affordable options for managing inflammatory conditions, complementing conventional treatments, and promoting overall health and well-being.

Abstract

Vannamei shrimp is one of the fishery commodities with high economic potential, but vulnerable to heavy metal contamination due to environmental pollution. This study aims to analyze the content of heavy metal lead (Pb) in vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in Pekalongan coastal area. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (SSA) method was used to analyze Pb levels in shrimp samples with age variations of 40, 50, 60, and 70 days. The results showed that lead levels in all shrimp samples exceeded the threshold set by BPOM RI, which is 0.5 mg/Kg. The highest Pb level was found in 70-day-old shrimp with a concentration of 10.57 mg/Kg, while the lowest level was in 40-day-old shrimp at 3.40 mg/Kg. These results indicate the potential dangers of consuming vaname shrimp exposed to heavy metals for human health, so that mitigation measures against heavy metal pollution in the region are needed.

Abstract

The okra fruit (A esculentus fructus) is renowned for its significant antioxidant properties, attributed to its rich content of bioactive compounds. Despite its high antioxidant activity, which has been extensively documented, its potential as a component in cosmetic formulations particularly lip balm preparation remains underutilized. This study seeks to address this gap by incorporating okra fruit extract into lip balm formulations and evaluating the resulting physical and functional attributes. Lip balm formulations were developed with three varying concentrations of Ethanol okra fruit extract: F1 (1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). A series of comprehensive evaluations were conducted to assess the physical stability and performance of the lip balms, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, melting point, spreadability, and overall stability. Stability was monitored over a 28-day period at room temperature to simulate typical storage conditions. The antioxidant efficacy of the okra extract was quantified using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, which yielded an IC50 value of 10.06 µg/ml, reflecting its potent free radical scavenging capacity. In comparison, the lip balm formulations demonstrated higher IC50 values, with Formulation I (FI) at 46.35 µg/ml, Formulation II (FII) at 40 µg/ml, and Formulation III (FIII) at 30.23 µg/ml, indicating a reduction in antioxidant activity in the formulated products compared to the pure extract.. The lip balm formulations exhibited a distinct okra aroma, smooth texture, and uniform color variations ranging from light brown (F1), brown (F2), to dark brown (F3). pH values ranged from 5.40 to 5.81, and melting points were between 49.6°C and 52.9°C, all within the acceptable range as per SNI 16-4769-1998 standards. ANOVA statistical analysis revealed no significant changes (p > 0.05) in melting point and spreadability over time. However, significant differences (p < 0.05) were noted in pH values, with further analysis indicating that formulations F2 and F3 differed significantly from F1 (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that okra fruit extract not only enhances the antioxidant properties of lip balm but also maintains its stability and functionality, supporting its potential as a valuable ingredient in cosmetic formulations.

Abstract

The stability of facial wash gel formulations is influenced by the concentration of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), which plays a crucial role in determining viscosity, homogeneity, spreadability, and foam stability. This study aimed to evaluate and optimize the physical stability of facial wash gel containing okra extract 3% (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) by varying HPMC concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2%). The formulations were assessed for homogeneity, syneresis, pH stability, viscosity, spreadability, and foam stability over a 28-day storage period at room temperature (25°C). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 27, including Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s test for homogeneity, One-Way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post-hoc test to determine significant differences among formulations. The results showed that HPMC concentration significantly influenced gel stability. F1 (1% HPMC) exhibited syneresis, excessive spreadability, and lower viscosity, indicating poor structural integrity. F2 (1.5% HPMC) maintained moderate stability but showed significant changes in spreadability over time. F3 (2% HPMC) demonstrated the best stability with optimal viscosity, minimal syneresis, controlled spreadability, and consistent foam formation. pH values for all formulations remained within the acceptable range (4.5–7.8, SNI 16-4380-1996). Foam stability (60–70%) met regulatory standards (SNI 16-4085-1996), with higher HPMC concentrations contributing to increased foam retention. The study confirms that HPMC concentration is a key determinant of gel stability. F3 (2% HPMC) exhibited the most stable formulation, balancing viscosity, spreadability, and foam stability, making it the optimal formulation for facial wash gel development. These findings highlight the importance of gelling agent optimization in cosmetic formulations, ensuring both product stability and consumer acceptability.
