Abstract

The Dlingo plant (Acorus calamus L.) is a medicinal plant that has long been used in traditional medicine and is known to have various biological activities, including as an antimicrobial. This review article aims to examine the phytochemical content and antimicrobial activity of Acorus calamus  L. based on research results published in the period 2021–2026. The article search method was carried out using relevant keywords from the following databases: Google Scholar, ScienDirect, and NCBI. The study was conducted through a literature analysis of various studies evaluating the content of secondary metabolites in leaves, herbs, and rhizomes and their activities against pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The review results show that Acorus calamus L. contains various bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, steroids, glycosides, triterpenoids, phenolics, phytosterols, and essential oils dominated by asarone. The rhizome is the part of the plant with the highest diversity of secondary metabolites. Various extracts of Acorus calamus L. exhibit antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as antifungal activity against Sclerotium rolfsii. These activities are thought to be related to the synergism of secondary metabolites that can disrupt cell membrane integrity and microbial metabolism. Based on the review results, Acorus calamus L. has the potential to be developed as a source of phytopharmaceutical raw materials and natural antimicrobial agents.

Abstract

Dandruff is one of the most common scalp disorders experienced by the community. The long-term use of commercial shampoos containing synthetic surfactants such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) may cause scalp irritation and hair damage. Lerak (Sapindus rarak DC.) contains saponins that function as natural biosurfactants and have the potential to be used as herbal shampoo ingredients. However, public knowledge regarding the utilization of lerak as a natural hair care product remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the effect of education and demonstration of herbal shampoo production based on lerak on community knowledge. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 25 respondents participated in the study. Knowledge data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of ten questions. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the average pretest score was 55.6%, increasing to 86.4% in the posttest, with an increase of 30.8%. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p = 0.002). Therefore, education and demonstration activities effectively improved community knowledge regarding the utilization of lerak as a natural herbal shampoo ingredient.
