Phytochemical Screening of Honey Pineapple Peel Extract and Its Application as an Antibacterial Additive in Dish Soap Formulation

Abstract

<p><a name="_Hlk55556551"></a><span lang="EN-US">This research aims to scientifically develop bioactive compounds from honey pineapple peel and develop a dish soap formulation with extract additives of honey pineapple peel that can be antibacterial. </span><span lang="EN-US">The research was conducted in stages, namely process of extracting honey pineapple peel was carried out by the maceration method using 96% ethanol as a solvent</span><span lang="IN">, p</span><span lang="EN-US">hytochemical screening of the ethanol extract of honey pineapple peel was done to determine the class of compounds contained in the extract</span><span lang="IN">, and a</span><span lang="EN-US">pplication of honey pineapple peel extract in dish soap formulation was to obtain a dish soap formulation with optimal antibacterial activity. Testing the ability of dish soap products to inhibit <em>S. aureus</em> bacteria was performed by the method of filter paper disc diffusion. </span><span lang="EN-US">The results revealed that the ethanol extract of honey pineapple peel contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The ethanol extract of honey pineapple peel has been applied in a dish soap formulation and tested for the antibacterial activity of <em>S. aureus</em>. Antibacterial test results showed that the dish soap formulation with the addition of 5% pineapple peel extract provided strong antibacterial activity, indicated by a precise zone formation of 12.60 mm</span></p>
