Karakterisasi Shampo Antijamur Dengan Ekstrak Kulit Jeruk Nipis

Abstract

Jeruk nipis of skin extract has been proved as antifungal containing bioactive compounds such as euganol, kaemfenol, galangin dan acetoxychavicul acetate. Incorporation of jeruk nipis of skin ekstract into shampoo is a promising approach to increase added value of jeruk nipis skin extract which mostly used as spices. Besides, antifungal shampoo with jeruk nipis skin extract is safer then those with shyntetic antifungal active material. The aims of the research were to fine out (1) effectiveness of jeruk nipis shampoo in inhibiting scalp-infecting fungi. (2) effect of addition of jeruk nipis skin ekstract on the characteristics of shampoo, and (3) preferences of jeruk nipis shampoo. Experiment were conducted by incorporating jeruk nipis skin extract into added at four different concentration (0,5%, 1%, 2% and 3%). Shampoo without jeruk nipis skin extract was used as a control. Research was perfurmed using single factor completely ramdomized design with four levels of jeruk nipis skin extract concentrations. The response measured included pH, moisture content, free alkali, emulsion stability, viscosity, inhibitory, test and preference test of the shampoo. Result showed that jeruk nipis skin shampoo effective inhibited T. metagrophytes and M. canis with inhibition zone of 29-34 mm and 32,3-36 mm. respectively addition of jeruk nipis skin extract affected the caracteristics of shampoo. Value of pH, moisture content, free alkali and emulsion stability of the shampoo with jeruk nipis skin extract were in the range of Indonesia National Standart for shampoo (SNI 06-2692-2002). The viscosity of shampoo with 3% extract addition was higher than that of Indonesian national Standard. Statistc analysis showed that the level of addition of jeruk nipis extract influenced pH, Value, moisture content, viscosity and emulsion stability of shampoo. Shampoo with 0,5% jeruk nipis extract was recommended
