ABSTRAKSabun herbal merupakan sabun yang diproduksi dari tanaman berkhasiat obat secara sederhana tanpa penambahan bahan sintetik atau bahan aditif lainnya. Kegiatan ini merupakan pelatihan dalam pembuatan sabun herbal yang ramah lingkungan kepada masyarakat Kampung Loji Desa Gekbrong Cianjur sebagai bagian yang terintegrasi dengan Kuliah Kerja Nyata Mahasiswa (KKNM) Tematik Fakultas Farmasi dan Sains UHAMKA dalam Program Kompetisi Kampus Merdeka (PKKM) tahun 2022. Tujuannya adalah untuk menyampaikan pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam pabrikasi produk sabun herbal dengan berbagai bahan aktif seperti kopi, teh hijau, dan sereh. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan metode observasi dan penyuluhan secara langsung dengan sasaran masyarakat Kampung Loji. Kegiatan diawali dengan pemberian materi mengenai sabun herbal ramah lingkungan dan dilanjutkan dengan simulasi pembuatan sabun herbal menggunakan variasi bahan aktif seperti teh hijau, kopi, dan sereh. Evaluasi dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana pengetahuan peserta terhadap teknologi pembuatan sabun herbal yang akan dipraktikkan dan keberhasilan capaian kegiatan. Peserta sangat antusias selama kegiatan berlangsung. Secara statistik, terdapat rata-rata peningkatan nilai dari pretest ke posttest sebanyak 12,00 poin (positive ranks) dengan nilai Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) 0,000 (p-value ≤ 0,005) menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Dengan demikian, hasil evaluasi menunjukkan strategi pelatihan dalam kegiatan ini tepat untuk diterapkan dalam rangka meningkatkan pengetahuan peserta mengenai pembuatan sabun herbal ramah lingkungan. Kata kunci: sabun herbal; ramah lingkungan; pengabdian masyarakat; kampung loji. ABSTRACTHerbal soaps are soaps that are produced from simple medicinal plants without the addition of synthetic ingredients or other additives. This activity is training in producing environmentally friendly herbal soap for the Loji community, Gekbrong Village, Cianjur, as an integrated part of the Thematic Student Real Work Lecture (KKNM) of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Science, UHAMKA in the Merdeka Campus Competition Program (PKKM) 2022. This activity applies direct observation and counselling methods with the Loji community target. This activity aims to impart knowledge and skills in producing herbal soap products with various active ingredients such as coffee, green tea, and lemongrass. The activity began with the educational delivery of environmentally friendly herbal soap. It continued with a simulation of producing herbal soap using various active ingredients such as green tea, coffee, and lemongrass. The evaluation was conducted to determine the extent of the participant's knowledge of the technology for producing herbal soap to be practiced and the success of the activities. Participants were very enthusiastic during the activity. Statistically, there is an average increase in scores from the pretest to the posttest of 12.00 points (positive ranks) with an Asymp value. Sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 (p-value 0.005) using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Thus, the evaluation results indicate that the training strategy in this activity is appropriate to be applied to increase the participants' knowledge about producing environmentally friendly herbal soaps. Keywords: herbal soap; environmentally friendly; community dedication; loji village.
Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) diketahui memiliki kandungan metabolit sekunder yang dapat berkhasiat sebagai antikonvulsan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas antikonvulsan ekstrak etanol 70% rimpang temu ireng pada tikus putih jantan. Ekstraksi yang digunakan dalam metode ini adalah maserasi. Hewan uji diberi ekstrak etanol 70% rimpang temu ireng (100 mg/kgBB, 200 mg/kgBB, dan 400 mg/kgBB), pembanding standar asam valproate. Pengujian antikonvulsan menggunakan alat digital elektrokonvulsiometer dengan parameter yang diamati adalah onset HLE dan durasi HLE. Ekstrak etanol 70% rimpang temu ireng dosis 400 mg/kgBB memiliki aktivitas yang paling baik sebagai antikonvulsan dengan memperpanjang onset HLE dan mempersingkat durasi HLE sebanding dengan pembanding standar. Temu ireng memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai antikonvulsan yang cukup baik.
Pluchea indica L. (beluntas) from the Asteraceae is a plant known to be rich in phenolics. Studies on the phenolic content of P. indica stems have not been explored much. The purpose of this study is to qualitatively identify the presence of phenolic compounds and to screen for the radical scavenging ability of DPPH in P. indica stem extracts using the TLC method. Extraction was carried out with the ultrasonic directly and sequentially using 50% ethanol as solvent. Separation was carried out on a silica gel plate GF254 with ethyl acetate: water: formic acid: toluene (20:2:2:1) as the mobile phase. Gallic acid and chlorogenic acid were used as comparisons. Identification of the presence of phenolic using FeCl3 5% as a spray reagent, while screening for radical scavenging activity using DPPH 0.1 mM as a spray reagent. The results showed that the 50% ethanol extracts of P. indica stems, both obtained from direct and stratified extraction, indicated the presence of phenolic compounds as antioxidants. The phenolic compounds detected were identical to gallic acid and chlorogenic acid, respectively, at hRf values of 89.4 and 55.3. The development of phenolic utilization from P. indica stems as a source of antioxidants still needs to be studied.
