Abstract:Background
Bacteria and fungi that enter through the body get intermediaries from the condition of hands that are not washed clean. Alcohol-based antiseptics are usually used for quick and effective hand washing, but repeated use can cause irritation and dryness of the hands. Natural components can be processed to make non-alcoholic substitutes, such as liquid smoke from palm oil's outer shell (Elais guineensis Jacq). It is known that liquid smoke contains antibacterial phenolic chemicals.
