Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr.) contain secondary metabolite compounds: flavonoids and polyphenols which has bioactivity as antioxidants. Antioxidants act as photoprotector, so it can be formulated into sun protection product. The selection of cream base is very important due to it’s not only as vehicle of active ingredients but also affecting cream’s physical properties and effectiveness. This study aims to determine the composition of the optimum base formula and evaluation formula cream of extract katuk leaves with variations concentration of stearic acid, TEA, and glycerin. Formula optimization was conducted through the Simplex Lattice Design methode with 13 formulas. The results of evaluation were processed with Design Expert software. The optimum formula was respectively at 13.16% stearic acid, 12% glycerin, and 3.84% TEA. The optimum formula cream evaluation was spreadability in 4.89 cm, 0.56 s stickiness power, and pH 6,1. Acceptability test results showed that the cream could accepted by society very well.
ABSTRAKProduksi kopi robusta (Coffea canephora L.) menghasilkan limbah berupa kulit buah kopi dengan proporsi sebesar 40-45%. Kulit buah kopi dilaporkan mengandung senyawa fenolik yang berpotensi sebagai antioksidan. Kadar senyawa fenolik dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan. pulau Lombok memiliki perkebunan kopi yang tersebar hampir diseluruh penjuru pulau. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan kadar fenolik total kulit buah kopi robusta yang dikoleksi dari tiga lokasi berbeda di pulau Lombok. Sampel kulit buah kopi diekstraksi menggunakan metode sonikasi dengan pelarut etanol 70% selama 30 menit pada suhu ruang. Penentuan kadar fenolik total menggunakan metode Folin-Ciocalteu dengan standar asam galat. Kadar fenolik total dinyatakan dalam mg equivalent asam galat (GAE) per gram simplisia. Hasil analisis menunjukkan ekstrak kulit buah kopi dari lokasi desa Lamper memiliki kadar fenolik total sebesar 5.6252 ± 0.0658 mg GAE/g, kadar fenolik total ekstrak kulit buah kopi dari desa Keru sebesar 2.6626 ± 0.0892 mg GAE/g, dan kadar fenolik total kulit buah kopi dari desa Sajang sebesar 4.6757 ± 0.0528 mg GAE/g. Ekstrak dari ketiga lokasi berpotensi sebagai antioksidan dilihat dari kadar fenolik total yang berbeda. Berdasarkan hasil penelititan dapat diketahui bahwa kadar fenolik total ekstrak kulit buah kopi dari lokasi lamper lebih tinggi daripada lokasi Sajang dan Keru. Kata kunci: Kulit buah kopi; Kopi robusta (Coffea canephora L.); Kadar fenolik total.ABSTRACT Production of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora L.) produces coffee pulp waste with proportion of 40-45%. Coffee pulp reported contain phenolic compounds that have antioxidants activity. Content of phenolic compounds can be influenced by environmental factors. Lombok Island has coffee plantations that scattered throughout the island. This study aims to determine the total phenolic content of robusta coffee pulp collected from three different locations on the island of Lombok. The coffee pulp samples extracted using the sonication method with 70% ethanol solvent for 30 minutes at room temperature. Determination of the total phenolic content of the extract using the Folin-Ciocalteu method with gallic acid standard. Total phenolic content is expressed in mg equivalent gallic acid (GAE) per gram of simplicia. The results of the analysis showed total phenolic content coffee pulp from Lamper village was 5.6252 ± 0.0658 mg GAE/g, the total phenolic content coffee pulp from Keru village was 2.6626 ± 0.0892 mg GAE/g, and the total phenolic content coffee pulp from Sajang village was 4.6757 ± 0.0528 mg GAE/g. Extract from three different location have the potential as antioxidants. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen thatcoffee pulp extract from Lamper has highest total phenolic content than coffee pulp from Sajang and Keru.Keyword: Coffee pulp; Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora L.); Total phenolic content.
The ethnomedicinal study which conducted in East Lombok revealed 5 potentially plants that have wound healing properties (Jatropha multifida L., Stachytarpheta jamaicensis (L.) Vahl, Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd, and Angelica keiskei). The five plants have been no further research related to the presence of compounds that have activity in wound healing. This study aims to screen the plants secondary metabolites from above plants. The sample was maserated with 96% solvent methanol. The viscous extract was determined by physical characterization including consistency and color as well as chemical characterization, namely the phytochemical screening test. The results showed that the five plants contained flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, and steroids, except for Stachytarpheta jamaicensis (L.) Vahl showed negative results for saponins and Angelica keiskei showed negative results for steroid compounds. Keywords: phytochemical screening, total phenolic content, wound healing herbs, East Lombok
Cosmetics are a major need for women everyday life, which can be seen from the increasing income of the cosmetics industry for up to 12% in 2016. Natural ingredients are the alternative to reduce the negative impact of synthetic cosmetics. Knowledge about it is obtained from generation to generation with oral traditions but has several weaknesses. The aims of study to conduct studies related to use of natural ingredients and to find out the value of the use of plants as natural care cosmetics by the people of Batujai village. This research used descriptive methods with qualitative and quantitative approaches, where quantitative data is the result of the calculation of the Index of Cultural Significance (ICS) and Fidelity Level (FL). The results showed that there were 13 natural care cosmetic ingredients consisting of 27 species and 18 families. The potions are children's rapus, rapus golam, rapus mutu, rapus wajah, soap, shampoo, mamak, kejames 1, kejames 2, kejames 3, kejames 4, serbat, and toothpaste. The highest ICS value of 42 was found in the species Oryza sativa L. and the lowest value of 6 was found in the species Amaranthus arenicola, Musa, Cocos nucifera L., Aleurites moluccanus, Aloe vera, Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merr., Citrus aurantiifolia, Piper retrofractum Vahl, Lannea coromandelica, Jatropha curcas L., Sida rhombifolia L., Ipomoea alba L., Barringtonia racemosa, and Ipomoea sepiaria. FL values range from 25-100%.
Abstract. Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) and carrot (Daucus carota L.) have been known for their phenolic and flavonoid compounds with antioxidants properties. Antioxidant activities including β-carotene bleaching (BCB) and Cupric ion Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) and total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and cytoprotective effect of the red dragon fruit and carrot extracts have been investigated in this study. Various concentrations of red dragon fruit (25-150 μg/mL) and carrot (25-200 μg/mL) extracts were applied on fibroblast primary cell which has been previously treated with 1000 μM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the cytoprotective test. Results demontrated that carrot extract had higher antioxidant activity, TPC, and TFC than red dragon fruit extract. It was found that red dragon fruit extract at concentration of 150 μg/mL and carrot extract at concentration of 200 μg/mL were not able to protect cells from H2O2 exposure.
