EFFECT OF STABILITY AND BACTERIAL INHIBITION ACTIVITY OF MELASTOMA MALABATHRICUM LINN LEAVES PLANT EXTRACT IN A WATER-BASED EMULSION
Keywords:
emulsion MB extract, stability, viscosity, pH, bacterialAbstract
Melastoma malabathricum Linn. (MB) is a herbal plant that has benefits in treating scars from smallpox, pimples and black spots on the skin. The active ingredient in MB leaves can produce a quality and effective product which can inhibit bacterial development. Therefore, this study was to identify the effect of stability and bacterial inhibition activity in based-water emulsion after it had been added with the extraction of MB leaves. The water-based emulsion containing 1% of MB extraction in different storage conditions showed its stability when viscosity and pH at 4?°C, 25?°C, and 58?°C slightly changed much from the initial after 21 days. The colour of emulsion MB extract at 58?°C changes from yellowish to brown due to the degradation of chlorophyll in extract when it exposes to high temperature. Viscosity from different pH showed that pH 6 was the most stable viscosity during the storage period which this pH was in the range of skin pH. This study shows that the emulsion MB extract was most stable at lower temperature, 4?°C and pH around 6. Thus, this emulsion MB extract suitable to use on the skin. Besides that, the emulsion MB extraction did not show antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli.
