“…The foam potential of the extract in a solution at the same concentrations of the formulations demonstrated that the foam increase percentage of the formulations is equivalent to the foam percentage of the extract solution at the same concentration of the formulation solution. The legislation does not present pre-established values for this parameter, but the findings are in agreement with authors such as Rusdianto et al (2021) and Meshram et al (2021), who worked with plant extracts. The stability of the foam over time is an important aspect for the consumer because it means that the foam does not evaporate immediately when it comes into contact with the environment.…”

“…Regarding the foam stability of the S. saponaria extract at 0.5%, the value of 86.73% was found, results consistent with the findings of Chen et al (2010), Yang et al (2010), andMeshram et al (2021). Foaming stability is associated with activity at the liquid-air interface, thus, it is a parameter that contributes to justify the potential of the extract as a surfactant (Wisetkomolmat et al, 2019).…”

“…In this sense, the environmental concern arising from the use of products from non-renewable raw materials has mobilized studies for more ecological alternatives (Meshram et al, 2021), which can be obtained from natural sources and are less irritating to the skin and biodegradable (Chen et al, 2010;Johnson et al, 2021).…”

The use of synthetic surfactants reflects the high demand in the hygiene and cleaning sector for products with low-cost and good-effectiveness. These ingredients are the main components of intimate soap formulations. Sapindus saponaria L. is a plant rich in saponins, with the potential to be used as a natural surfactant due to its amphiphilic character and its foam-forming properties. Therefore, this study aimed to develop intimate soap formulations using S. saponaria extract as a natural surfactant and analyze its stability and surfactant characteristics. Preliminary and accelerated stability parameters, rheological characteristics, surface tension, foaming power, foam stability and emulsification potential were evaluated. The formulations were stable at a pH suitable for the intimate region (4.0 to 4.5), the presence of S. saponaria extract provided greater reduction of surface tension, better foaming and foam stability and greater emulsification power, desirable characteristics for an intimate liquid soap. These results demonstrate that the incorporation of S. saponaria extract into liquid soap formulations is an excellent option as a natural surfactant to reduce the use of synthetic anionic surfactants such as SLES.

“…Meanwhile, in the treatment with ethyl acetate and n-hexane, foam formation did not occur, so the test could be considered negative because the solubility of the ethyl acetate and n-hexane samples was very low in the water, resulting in precipitation of the sample. According to Meshram et al (2021), saponin compounds have polar (glycosyl groups) and non-polar (steroid or triterpenoid groups) so that they are surface active and when saponins are shaken with water, they undergo hydrolysis and form micelles. The micelle structure formed causes the polar groups to face out, and the non-polar groups face in so that it will look like foam.…”

Abstract. Nairfana I, Nikmatullah A, Sarjan M, Tandeang A. 2022. Variability of secondary metabolites from leaves of Ziziphus mauritiana obtained from different locations in Sumbawa, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4948-4958. Bidara (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) is an evergreen shrub that grows in many parts of the world, and is an important plant in arid and semi-arid regions for the environment, food, and health. The plant has been used traditionally as medicine, and more recently, growing scientific evidence demonstrated the active compounds of bidara leaves. However, little is known about the plant's secondary metabolite profiles in different environments. This research aimed to characterize the secondary metabolites profile of bidara leaf obtained from the different habitats of semi-arid Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, and to evaluate their relationship based on cluster analysis of the secondary metabolite diversity. The leaf samples were collected from bidara plants obtained in 3 districts on Sumbawa Island: West Sumbawa (SB), Sumbawa (KS), and Dompu (DP) Districts, each from different ecosystems: lowland coastal/savanna, lowland near residential areas, and mid-highland areas of residential or forest-edge. The leaf samples were extracted by maceration with multilevel extraction using solvents with decreased polarity (h-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol 70%, methanol, and distilled water, respectively), followed by phytochemical screening for the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, and phenolic. The results showed variation in the phytochemical components of bidara leaves obtained from a different environment, with secondary metabolites of DP leaves being more diverse than KS and other SB. All samples contained polar alkaloids and flavonoids, while the DP1 samples also contained non-polar flavonoids. The SB1 and DP samples also contained saponin. Interestingly, phenolic was only detected in the polar extracts of DP1 leaves. Cluster analysis based on the secondary metabolites profile distinguished the SB1 and DP1 bidara from others. Further study is required to understand if the variation is resulted from bidara adaptation to a different environment or also due to genetic variation of the bidara in Sumbawa Island.

“…Foaming power for CGE and DGE groups ranged from 14.63 to 19.17 cm, representing low foaming compared to anionic surfactants, which generally tend to generate more foam(Cheng et al, 2020). For example, according toMeshram et al (2021), Tween80 and sodium lauryl sulfate showed high foaming power, at 19.5 and 22 cm, respectively. Considering that there is no relationship between cleaning power and foam properties of surfactants (Timar-Balazsy, 2013) and that foam can cause a reduction in natural water quality, and pH changes in water and soil,(Mousavi & Khodadoost, 2019), APGs would be a good alternative to replace synthetic surfactants: non-ionic and anionic, thus mitigating problems caused by eutrophication.Figure1shows the relationship of formulations on the response variable (fat extraction percentage) evaluated with CGE and DGE.…”

The current research focused on the use of a binary amphiphile/solvent mixture consisting of a natural surfactant (alkylpolyglucoside) and the green solvent ethyl lactate (EL) as an active compound for the formulation of a new ecological detergent, to improve the conditions of the washing process as temperature, pH, lipase integration, type of surfactant and detergent dose, to remove fat and dirt from natural fiber surfaces effectively. The best conditions for residual fat percentage <0.37% were achieved at 25 °C, pH 9, and using 0.3% detergent doses without lipase. The study also found that pH and the interaction between pH and surfactant type significantly influenced the percentage of residual fat. All the estimated results mean that the detergent obtained has excellent cleaning properties because there is a strong interaction between the alkylpolyglucoside/ethyl lactate binary mixture, which has a positive effect on reducing the percentage of residual fat and dirt and suggests its use potential in the formulation of green detergents for washing natural and synthetic textile fibers as a replacement for detergents based on ethoxylated fatty alcohols.
