Penambahan Ekstrak Kulit Nanas (Ananas Comosus L.) Sebagai Antibakteri Pada Pembuatan Sabun Transparan
ABSTRACT
Pineapple peel extract is able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus
aureus. Therefore it is possible to be used as agent for prevention of skin
infections. The ability of pineapple peel extract to inhibit microbial growth can be
applied to a transparent soap. The study aimed to determine the effect of
pineapple peel extract addition in the quality of transparent soap and its inhibitory
effect on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The study used complete
randomized design with five treatments and three replications. The treatments
were addition of pineapple peel extract with different concentrations namely S0
(0%), S1 (1.5%), S2 (2%), S3 (2.5%), and S4 (3%) in the transparent soap
formulations. The data was statistically using Analysis of Variance and continued
with Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at 5%. The result showed that addition
variations of pineapple peel extract in making of the transparent soap significantly
effected on water content, free alkali, degree of acidity (pH), foam stability,
antibacterial activity and sensory of the transparent soap. The selected treatment
from this study was S4 (3% addition of pineapple peel extract). Transparent soap
from this treatment had 11.47% water content, 35.35% total fatty acid, 0.22% free
alkali, 10.07 degree of acidity, 73.30% foam stability and 26.36 mm antibacterial
activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The result of descriptive test of the
transparent soap showed that the transparent soap had dark brown colour,
pineapple flavour, rather transparent and hard texture.
