Aktivitas Antibakteri Sabun Cair Minyak Atsiri Daun Eucalyptus Pellita
ABSTRACT
Eucalyptus pellita leaf essential oil has antibacterial activity so it can be
used as an additive to liquid soap. This study aimed to determine the inhibitory
power of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in liquid soap of E. pellita
leaf essential oil. This research used a Complete Randomized Design with five
treatments and three replications. The treatments were addition of essential oils in
consecutive P1(1,15 ml), P2 (1,19 ml), P3 (1,22 ml), P4 (1,30 ml), and P5 (1,35
ml). The data obtained were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) and Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at 5%. The results showed
that addition of E. pellita essential oils significantly affected the density, viscosity,
free alkali, degree of acidity (pH), antibacterial test, and flavor of the liquid soap.
The best treatment of liquid soap in this research was P5 (addition Eucalyptus
pellita essential oil 1,35 ml) which had density 1.07 g/ml g/ml, viscosity 195.87
Cp, free alkali 0.20%, pH 9.80. Antibacterial activity against S. aureus of 15.65
mm and E. coli of 12.91 mm. The result of descriptive test of liquid soap showed
that the soap has the aroma of E. pellita and the hedonic test for aroma was
favored by the panelists
