Abstract

There are two commonly known types of lemongrass, namely kitchen lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and fragrant lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus L.), both of which are widely used by the community as traditional medicine. This study focuses on fresh fragrant lemongrass, in which the stems are utilized to produce a spray preparation that functions as a mosquito repellent. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of fragrant lemongrass essential oil formulated as a spray with different concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The essential oil of fragrant lemongrass is obtained using the steam distillation method. Prior to formulation into a spray, phytochemical screening was conducted to identify the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids. After completing the phytochemical screening, spray formulations were prepared and divided into three formulation groups. Each formulated spray was evaluated for physical properties, including organoleptic characteristics, pH value, clarity, and homogeneity. In addition, an activity test of the repellent spray was carried out using mosquito test animals. The results showed that the citronella essential oil spray (Cymbopogon nardus L.) exhibited an average repellent power of 61.6% in formulation I, 81.40% in formulation II, and 81.41% in formulation III. The protection power test indicated that the highest repellent activity was observed in formulation III. Based on the One Way ANOVA analysis followed by a Post Hoc test, there was no significant difference between formulation II and formulation III. These findings support the potential use of citronella spray as repellent.

Abstract

Infeksi Candida albicans pada rongga mulut dapat menimbulkan ketidaknyamanan, sementara penggunaan antifungi sintetis jangka panjang berisiko menyebabkan efek samping dan resistensi. Daun sirih merah (Piper crocatum) mengandung metabolit sekunder seperti flavonoid, alkaloid, tanin, dan saponin yang berpotensi sebagai antifungi. Penelitian ini bertujuan memformulasi sediaan mouthwash spray ekstrak etanol daun sirih merah serta mengevaluasi aktivitas antifungi terhadap Candida albicans menggunakan metode difusi sumuran pada konsentrasi 5%, 10%, dan 15%. Evaluasi sediaan meliputi uji organoleptik, pH, viskositas, kejernihan, dan pola penyemprotan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh formulasi memenuhi parameter evaluasi fisik yang meliputi uji organoleptik (warna, bau, dan bentuk), pH, viskositas, kejernihan, serta pola penyemprotan. Aktivitas antifungi ditunjukkan melalui zona hambat yang meningkat seiring kenaikan konsentrasi ekstrak, yaitu masing-masing sebesar 4,57 mm; 5,56 mm; dan 6,66 mm. Kontrol negatif tidak menunjukkan adanya aktivitas, sedangkan kontrol positif ketokonazol menghasilkan zona hambat sebesar 12,03 mm. Konsentrasi 15% menunjukkan hasil paling optimal dalam menghambat pertumbuhan Candida albicans dalam sediaan mouthwash spray. Hasil ini menunjukkan peningkatan aktivitas antifungi seiring kenaikan konsentrasi ekstrak. Ekstrak etanol daun sirih merah dapat dikembangkan sebagai bahan aktif mouthwash spray antifungi alami.
