Abstract

Introduction: In the midst of the outbreak of the spread of COVID-19 which is currently increasing, people are actively taking precautions, one of which is by sterilizing using disinfectants. But a problem arises among the people that mass spraying of disinfectants gives rise to environmental pollution. This is because the ingredients for making disinfectants come from chemicals that tend to be non-biodegradable by soil, plants, and microorganisms. Objective: The purpose of this study is to help the community to solve this problem by making environmentally friendly disinfectants from coconut husk waste materials.  Method:  In this study, the method used is a quantitative approach because this research is presented using aspects of measurement, concentration calculation, and certainty of numerical data Results and Discussion: A sap liquid is proven to have many benefits, namely as a biopesticide, insecticide, disinfectant, and preservative. The liquid smoke production process is also classified as environmentally friendly because all residues can be reused or zero waste. Based on the data obtained, the percentage of liquid smoke of 1.6% has a better ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms than the percentage of liquid smoke of 0.4% and 0.8%.  Conclusion: With this disinfectant, it is hoped that it can reduce the risk of environmental pollution, can effectively sterilize in the community environment for the prevention of COVID-19, and can reduce coconut husk waste

Abstract

Jamu is an ingredient from plant, animal material, mineral material, or a mixture of these ingredients for treatment based on experience. One of the jamu that are often consumed by Indonesian people, especially women, is the turmeric tamarind jamu. The turmeric and tamarind jamu is believed by most women to relieve pain during menstruation period. However, its current use has not been accompanied by the optimum dosage and side effects. Therefore, the toxicity test was carried out as an initial screening to predict the toxic levels that might be caused by the turmeric tamarind jamu. In this study, the bioactive substances in turmeric tamarind jamu will be identified, as well as the level of toxicity based on the LC50 value. Using variations in extract concentration, this study used a fully randomized approach. The powdered sample of turmeric tamarind jamu brand X was dissolved in water and then tested for phytochemical screening. Phytochemical screening including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids/terpenoids, and saponins screening was carried out qualitatively, the Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method was used to carry out the toxicity.The results of the phytochemical screening showed that the turmeric tamarind jamu contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tepenoid, steroid and tannins. The results of the toxicity test of the turmeric tamarind jamu showed the LC50 value in 3366.656 ppm and classified as non-toxic because it had LC50 value more than 1000 ppm.
