Abstract

Mangroves are coastal forest ecosystems commonly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions and play a vital role in maintaining coastal environmental stability. The mangrove ecosystem in Pangkal Babu, Tungkal 1 Village, Tungkal Ilir District, West Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi, functions as an ecological buffer for the coastal zone; however, scientific information on its species composition and diversity remains limited. This study aimed to identify and document the mangrove species present in the area. Field surveys and direct observations were conducted to characterize mangrove vegetation by recording and photographing each species and examining diagnostic features, including root structure, stem morphology, leaf shape, and fruit characteristics. The results showed that the Pangkal Babu mangrove ecosystem is composed of several true mangrove species, each exhibiting distinctive morphological traits: Acanthus ilicifolius with thick spiny leaves; Nypa fruticans with large pinnate leaves and clustered fruits; Sonneratia alba with erect pneumatophores and subglobose fruits; Avicennia alba with salt-excreting leaves and pencil-shaped pneumatophores; Bruguiera cylindrica with knee roots and cylindrical propagules; Rhizophora mucronata with mucronate leaves and large stilt roots; Rhizophora apiculata with black-spotted leaves and shorter propagules; and Xylocarpus granatum with compound leaves and large spherical fruits resembling cannonballs. These findings provide essential baseline data for future conservation efforts, habitat monitoring, and sustainable coastal management initiatives in Tungkal Ilir and the surrounding regions.

Abstract

Nanotechnology represents an innovative strategy to enhance the penetration and efficacy of active compounds in topical formulations. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the physicochemical properties of Boswellic Acid (BA) nano-gel with varying concentrations of the active ingredient using a Carbopol 940-based matrix. The research methodology commenced with particle size reduction of BA through an ultrasonication technique for 150 minutes, followed by its integration into a gel matrix containing propylene glycol and glycerin as humectants. The pharmaceutical quality evaluation included organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and drying time tests. The results demonstrated that all formulations (NgBA-F1, NgBA-F2, and NgBA-F3) exhibited excellent homogeneity with a constant pH value of 5, ensuring compatibility with skin physiology. The viscosity of all formulas reached 3000 cPa, meeting the ideal standards, although the concentration of the active ingredient significantly influenced the color intensity of the preparation. However, mechanical testing revealed a spreadability of 3 cm, which did not meet the ideal criteria of 5–7 cm due to high viscosity. Furthermore, the addition of BA extended the drying time to a range of 26.27–28.17 seconds compared to the gel base (15.65 seconds). This study concludes that the Boswellic Acid nano-gel formulation met the physical quality standards for pH, viscosity, and homogeneity, but requires further optimization of the base components to improve spreadability characteristics and drying time kinetics.
