Abstract

Shallot peel (Allium cepa L.) is an agricultural waste that is known to contain secondary metabolite compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins that have the potential to have antibacterial activity. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract and the fraction of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water from onion peel against Escherichia coli bacteria. Extraction was carried out using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, then continued with liquid-liquid fractionation using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water. The antibacterial activity test was carried out using the disc diffusion method with concentrations of 40%, 60%, and 80%. The results showed that ethanol extract and shallot peel fractions had an inhibition against Escherichia coli, with the ethyl acetate fraction at a concentration of 80% indicating the largest inhibition zone. Thus, shallot peel has the potential to be developed as a natural antibacterial agent against Escherichia coli.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the acrylamide levels in animal-based (grilled chicken and grilled fish) and plant-based (grilled Cilembu sweet potato) foods using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. Acrylamide is a carcinogenic compound formed in foods heated to high temperatures. The samples were tested qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative tests confirmed the presence of acrylamide in all three samples. Quantitative measurement was performed at a maximum wavelength of 267 nm and showed the average acrylamide levels in grilled Cilembu sweet potato, grilled chicken, and grilled fish were 51.3964 mcg/g, 38.1875 mcg/g, and 32.1383 mcg/g, respectively. The highest level was found in the grilled Cilembu sweet potato due to its higher carbohydrate content. Although the detected levels are below the daily toxic limit set by BPOM, excessive long-term consumption is not recommended. The method validation test showed results that met the requirements for linearity (r = 0.995) , accuracy (recovery range 101.58% - 106.33%) , and precision (RSD < 2%) , with LOD and LOQ values of 0.4111 and 1.3703, respectively. It was concluded that the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method is effective for the analysis of acrylamide in grilled food samples.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus from the genus Flavivirus and the family Flaviviridae, transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. One preventive measure can be achieved by using mosquito repellent lotion as a protective topical preparation. Bitter melon and papaya leaves contain flavonoids and antioxidants that have potential as natural repellent agents. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of lotion formulations containing bitter melon and papaya leaf extracts at concentrations of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%. The research method included preparing lotion formulations based on an oil-in-water emulsion, followed by physical quality testing according to SNI 16-4399-1996, including assessments of homogeneity, emulsion type, two-week stability, and skin irritation. Repellent effectiveness was tested by observing the number of mosquitoes that died after contacting skin treated with the lotion. The results show that all formulations meet the physical quality requirements, are homogeneous, stable, possess an oil-in-water emulsion type, and do not cause skin irritation. The extracts increase mosquito repellency, as indicated by the greater number of dead mosquitoes with higher extract concentrations. The 6% formulation is the most effective concentration as a repellent or insecticidal agent against Aedes aegypti.

Abstract

Abstract Body odor is one of the personal hygiene problems caused by bacterial activity such as Staphylococcus aureus on sweat. Continuous use of chemical-based deodorants may cause skin irritation; therefore, natural alternatives are needed. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of a deodorant spray preparation made from citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) stem ethanol extract. The extract was obtained using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening to identify active compounds. The deodorant spray was formulated in three extract concentrations—5%, 10%, and 15%—and evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, drying time, spray power, and homogeneity. The antibacterial effectiveness test against Staphylococcus aureus was carried out using the disc diffusion method. The results showed that all formulas met the physical evaluation requirements of deodorant preparations. The largest inhibition zone was observed in the formula containing 15% extract, with a diameter of 16.33 mm, categorized as strong inhibitory activity. Therefore, the ethanol extract of Cymbopogon nardus stem has the potential to be used as an active ingredient in natural antibacterial deodorant spray formulations against Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ethanol extract of cytolod leaves (Isotoma longiflora (L.) C. Presl) formulated in spray deodorant preparations as an antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus. The extraction of cytolod leaves is carried out by the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. Spray deodorant preparations are made in three different extract concentrations, namely 3% (F1), 5% (F2), and 8% (F3), with positive control using commercial deodorant (AXE) and negative control in the form of a base preparation without extract. Antibacterial effectiveness testing was carried out using the suction diffusion method. The results of the physical evaluation showed that all formulas met the requirements of organoleptic, pH, clarity, viscosity, drying time, sprayability, and did not cause irritation to the skin. The results of the antibacterial activity test showed that the higher the concentration of the extract, the larger the barrier zone formed. Formulas with a concentration of 8% (F3) show the most effective inhibition activity with an average inhibition zone diameter of 15.73 mm, which belongs to the strong category.

Abstract

Irrational use of antibiotics contributes to the increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Limited public knowledge regarding the indications and proper use of antibiotics leads to inappropriate usage. This study aimed to determine the level of community knowledge before and after educational intervention and to analyze the effect of education on improving knowledge among residents of Dusun III, Sungai Lanang Village. This study employed a pre-experimental one group pretest–posttest design involving 71 respondents selected through purposive sampling from a population of 245 individuals. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test because the data were not normally distributed (p < 0.05). The results showed that prior to the educational intervention, the majority of respondents had poor knowledge (59%), whereas after the intervention, most respondents were categorized as having good knowledge (70%). The Wilcoxon test result showed p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of education on improving knowledge. In conclusion, antibiotic rationalization education is effective in increasing community knowledge and should be implemented continuously to prevent antibiotic misuse.
