Abstract

This study aims to develop a solid soap formulation using natural ingredients by combining cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii) extract and Aloe vera peel extract, which are known for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties. The research involved several stages, including the extraction of cinnamon and Aloe vera, soap formulation with varying cinnamon and Aloe vera extract concentrations, and testing of physicochemical properties and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. The formulated soaps were evaluated for moisture content, free alkali levels, pH, foam stability, antibacterial inhibition zones, and skin irritation. The results showed that increasing the concentrations of cinnamon and Aloe vera peel extracts significantly affected the soap’s characteristics. The optimal formulation was obtained with 15% cinnamon extract and 6% Aloe vera peel extract (A3B3), yielding a moisture content of 2.44%, free alkali content of 1.70%, pH of 11.8, and an antibacterial inhibition zone of 1.28 mm, without any skin irritation. FTIR analysis identified functional groups such as aldehydes, alkanes, aromatics, and hydroxyls, which were associated with the bioactive compounds responsible for antibacterial and moisturizing effects. The presence of cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon and saponins in Aloe vera contributed to the soap’s enhanced antimicrobial and skin-conditioning properties. Furthermore, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis identified key functional groups responsible for the soap’s bioactivity. These findings suggest that incorporating herbal extracts into soap formulations can improve their functional benefits, making them a promising alternative for natural skincare products with antibacterial protection and skin health benefits.

Abstract

This community service (PPM) program was conducted on Kabung Island, Karimunting Village, Sungai Raya Kepulauan District, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan. The partners involved were community groups representing the northern, southern, western, and eastern parts of Kabung Island. The partners were vegetable and plantation crop farmers who experienced difficulties in controlling pests on their crops. This PPM activity aimed to provide partners with additional knowledge and skills in pest control using local natural resources. The program consisted of several stages: coordination, outreach, technical training, and activity evaluation. 100% of participants experienced increased knowledge and skills in making and applying pest traps. Furthermore, increased productivity and crop quality were observed several months after using the pest traps. Based on these results, it can be analyzed whether partner income will increase if the pest trap application is implemented sustainably in crop cultivation on Kabung Island.

Abstract

This study examined the effects of peanut germination time and the ratio of germinated peanut sprout flour to aloe vera rind flour on snack bar quality. Two experimental parameters were used in the study: flour proportions of 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30, and germination times of 12, 24, and 36 hours. The first evaluation concentrated on proximate composition, which included quantities of moisture, ash, fat, protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. Both factors and their interaction had a substantial (p < 0.05) impact on all proximal metrics. In order to determine the best formulation, these proximate data were then integrated into a multi-criteria decision-making framework using the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) techniques. The ROC–SAW results showed that the best combination of a 36-hour germination period and a 70:30 flour ratio yielded 23.79% protein, 8.81% fiber, 15.15% fat, and 31.37% carbohydrates. Additional analyses of the optimized formulation included antioxidant evaluation, amino acid profile, and FT-IR spectroscopy. FT-IR spectra revealed the presence of functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, amide, alcohol, and ether. Aspartic acid, glutamate, and arginine were the most frequently detected amino acids. The antioxidant activity IC50 value obtained from the DPPH experiment was 10,734.27 ppm. All things considered, combining germinated peanut sprout flour with aloe vera rind flour shows promise for producing a functional snack bar with enhanced nutritional content and bioactive potential.
