Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition of increased uric acid levels in the blood above normal limits that can cause pain or soreness, which if not treated immediately will cause chronic gout, the formation of tofus, and severe kidney function disorders. One plant that is thought to have anti-hyperuricemia effects is matoa leaves (Pometia pinnata J.R.Forst ; G.Forst) because they contain secondary metabolite compounds, namely flavonoids. This study is an experimental study using 25 male white rats divided into 5 treatment groups, namely group I (Na-CMC, negative control), group II (Allopurinol, positive control 100 mg), group III, IV, and V were given matoa leaf ethanol extract (EEDM) with successive doses of 200 mg/kg body weight (BW), 400 mg/kg BW, and 800 mg/kg BW for 4 days. Test animals were induced with fresh chicken liver juice orally for 7 consecutive days and potassium oxonate 250 mg/kg BW intraperitoneally on day 8. On the 9th to 12th day, EEDM therapy was carried out. Measurement of uric acid levels was carried out on days 0 (before treatment), 7, 8, and 12. The data were then processed statistically using Kruskal-Wallis and the Mann-Whitney follow-up test. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that ethanol extract of matoa leaves has an effect as anti-hyperuricemia with the most effective dose being 200 mg/kg BW.

Abstract

Pineapple peel contains many compounds, namely flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenolics, steroids, alkaloids and bromelin enzymes. Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous glands. One of the bacteria that causes acne is Propionibacterium acne. Preparations that can be made for anti-acne are gel preparations. This study aims to determine whether the ethanol extract of pineapple peel (Ananas comosus L.) can be made into an anti-acne gel preparation and to find out at what concentration the ethanol extract of pineapple peel (Ananas comosus L.) in an anti-acne gel preparation can provide inhibitory activity on the development of Propionibacterium acne bacteria. This research method is true experimental by making anti-acne gel preparations of pineapple peel extract (Ananas Comosus L.) with various concentrations of 2%, 3%, 5% and testing the activity of the preparation against Propionibacterium acne using the agar well method. The results of the gel preparation formula showed that there were significant differences before and after the cycling test in both organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability and adhesion tests. The activity test results obtained were that the largest inhibition zone was the 5% concentration, namely 12.7 mm, which was in the strong category, while the 3% concentration, which was 11.03 mm, and the 2% concentration, which was 8.8 mm, was included in the moderate category.

Abstract

Cassava bark is a part of the cassava plant which is still underutilized besides being used as animal feed and wasted as waste. Each cassava can usually produce 10-15% cassava bark. The amount of waste produced can cause accumulation, resulting in environmental damage if not appropriately utilized. This research aims to determine the antioxidant activity of cassava bark (Manihot esculenta Crantz) using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pikrihidrazil) method, measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Extraction used the maceration method of 96% ethanol as solvent. The determination of antioxidants in ethanol extract of cassava bark by the DPPH method and using vitamin C was used as a reference. Vitamin C was made in four series of concentrations, namely 2, 4, 6, and 8 ppm, while the ethanol extract of cassava bark was 20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm. From several concentration series, 2 ml was taken, and 1 ml of 50 ppm DPPH was added; then, the mixture obtained was incubated for 30 minutes in a place protected from light. The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 515 nm. The results showed that the ethanol extract of cassava bark has a potent antioxidant activity based on the IC50 value obtained, which is 3.847 mg/L. Therefore, the ethanol extract of cassava bark can be developed as a natural antioxidant.

Abstract

Avocado is a plant that can thrive in tropical areas such as Indonesia and is one of the types of fruit that is popular with the public, however, avocado seeds have not been used optimally so that they are wasted as waste. Based on phytochemical experiments, avocados also contain phenolics, tannins and flavanoids which have antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are compounds that can be used to counteract free radicals. Dietary fiber and antioxidants are two types of components that are very useful in improving health and being able to prevent various diseases. The extraction method used in this study is reflux where the sample is heated for 6 hours with the solvent used to evaporate at high temperatures, but it will be cooled by the condenser so that the solvent which was in the form of vapor will condense in the condenser and fall again into the reaction vessel so that the solvent will still be there during the reaction. This study aims to analyze the antioxidant activity of the ethyl acetate extract of avocado seeds using the DPPH method. Quantitatively, the ethyl acetate extract of avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill.) was measured at a maximum wavelength of 516 nm using quercetin as a reference standard. The research results showed that the value was 903.08 μ/mL.

Abstract

Seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii Doty) has potential as an antioxidant because it contains kappa-carrageenan which can counteract free radicals. Formulation of seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii Doty) into lotion preparations can minimize the negative effects of sun exposure, because it can reflect solar radiation or work as a physical sunscreen. To give the maximum effect, particle size reduction is carried out, so that the smaller the particle size of the seaweed powder, the surface area increases. This study aims to determine the formulation and evaluate the preparation of lotion from seaweed powder. This research was conducted using an experimental method. The lotion was made with three variations of seaweed powder concentration (Eucheuma cottonii Doty), namely 2.5%, 3% and 5%. Tests were carried out before and after accelerated conditions at 5oC and 35oC for 12 hours each for 12 cycles with test parameters including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, viscosity and flow type. The results obtained in the organoleptic test showed no change in the three formulas both before and after the accelerated condition. The pH test showed that Formula 2 and Formula 3 still showed that the preparation remained in the skin pH range for sunscreen. In the homogeneity test, all preparations were homogeneous, as well as the spreadability test met the test requirements criteria. Based on the tests carried out, it can be concluded that formulas 2 and 3 have optimum stability.
