In this study, self-emulsifying method was applied to formulate the Centella asiatica L. urban extract
(CeCa). The presence of groups in the extract was established on the basis of FTIR-ATR spectra using
a chemometric approach. Further, the super saturable-CeCa-self micro emulsifying (SS-CeCa-SME)
extracts were formulated using an oleic acid carrier oil, Tween 80 as surfactant and propylene glycol
as co-surfactant with nine variations of component concentration. The FTIR-ATR spectra obtained
were evaluated using a chemometric approach. The chemometric analysis method uses principal
component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). The score plot provides precise classification
results by forming three large groups. The results were obtained to become a reference in the
optimization process and further development of pharmaceutical preparations.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the dysmenorrhea management by non-medical Faculties Students of Universitas MuhammadiyahSurakarta through self-medication.Methods: An observational study with cross-sectional design was conducted across 394 respondents at non-medical Faculties of UniversitasMuhammadiyah Surakarta.

Salah satu tanaman asli Indonesia yang berkhasiat obat adalah temu kunci (Boesenbergia pandurata), antara lain sebagai batuk kering dan diare. Salmonella typhi merupakan salah satu kuman penyebab diare yang bersifat Gram negatif. Streptococcus hemolytic α non pneumoniae merupakan salah satu kuman yang bersifat Gram positif dan secara normal terdapat di daerah tenggorokan dan mulut yang dapat menyebabkan infeksi jika kondisi tubuh melemah. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan daya antibakteri fraksi etanol temu kunci terhadap kedua kuman tersebut. Uji aktivitas antibakteri temu kunci yang dilakukan menggunakan metode dilusi padat menunjukkan bahwa fraksi etanol temu kunci sedikit lebih poten terhadap Salmonella typhi (dengan KBM 2%) dibandingkan Streptococcus hemolytic α non pneumoniae (dengan KBM 3%). Kata Kunci : antibakteri, KBM, fraksi etanol temu kunci (Boesenbergia pandurata), Salmonella typhi, Streptococcus hemolytic α non pneumoniae
