Physical Properties and Antibacterial Activities of Spray Footsanitizer Combination of Coffee Seed and Ginger Extract with Variation of Stirring Speed

Abstract

Foot odor is a matter of body odor. This physical disorder is called bromhidrosis, bromhidrosis is excessive body odor due to the secretions of apocrine sweat glands found in the armpits, scalp, soles of the feet, between the fingers and genitals. Prevention efforts can use antibacterial soap. However, this attempt is impractical. a more practical foot deodorizing innovation, namely the Footsanitizer Spray. Footsanitizer Spray on the market contains 70-95% alcohol. it is necessary to have natural ingredients that can act as antibacteria, namely coffee beans and ginger rhizome. The formulation of Footsanitizer Spray, a combination of coffee bean extract and ginger root, was successfully formulated. Based on organicoleptic testing, all Footsanitizer Spray formulas are liquid, light brown in color, have a distinctive aromatic smell and have a soft taste. foot sanitizer has good clarity and homogeneity. The results of the specific gravity test for the three formulas, namely formula 1, formula 2 and formula 3 are 1,043 grams / ml, 1,060 grams / ml, and 1,067 grams / ml, respectively. Meanwhile, the viscosity values of each are 1.91 cp, 1.63 cp, and 1.58 cp. formula 3 with stirring 1500 rpm has better antibacterial activity than other formulas.

“…Unfortunatelly, the use of alcohol as an antibacterial agent can cause irritanting effects for some people, therefore the alternative way by using natural ingredients (Riyanta et al, 2020).
