Production Using Crude Aqueous Extract of Akapulko (Senna alata)Applied Research Ill Science High Schooi, Coiiege of Education, Cavite State University, indang, Cavlte, May 20 i 7. Adviser: Mr. Lloyd Balinado.
The study entitled "Antibacterial Soap Production using the Crude Aqueous Leaf Extract of Akanu/ko (Senna a/ata)" was conducted specifically to (l) determine the percentage yield of the crude aqueous leaf extract for each of the plants under this study (2) determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each of the crude aqueous leaf extracts against three skin nathoøe,n.s (i e Baei//ll.c,' cereus Sfanhvlnenee.l/." aurens and Pseudomonas rmr7tøinns•a) (3 h identify the crude aqueous leaf extract with the greatest antibacterial activity to be used for soap production and (4) evaluate the physical properties (i.e. odor, color, texture and general annearance) of the nrodllced antibacterial soan
Four locally known medicinal plants in Cavite were used in this study namely: akapulko (Senna alata), gumamela (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), litlit (Piper belle) and sili (Capsicum anuum).
Leaves of these plants were air-dried, pulverized and were subjected to crude aqueous extraction. It was found out that H. rosa-sinensis and S. alata had the highest (3.07%) and lowest (0.47%) crude. extract recoverv nercentaøe resnectivelv
Antibacterial activities of the extracts were tested using resazurin-based microtiter broth dilution method. Based on the results, akapulko had the most promising antibacterial activity as it inhibited the growth of B. cereus and S. aureus at 15-mg/mL concentration and P. aeruginosa at 30-mg/mL. It was then selected for soap production.
General physical characteristics (i.e. odor, color, texture and general appearance) of the resulting soap products together with a control one (i.e. a commercially accepted soap) were determined based on a survey participated by 30 randomly selected residents of Brgy. Bancod, Indang, Cavite. Gathered data revealed that there was a significant difference between the control and experimental soap products in terms of all parameters measured in favor of the controlled condition. However, among the experimental soap products, people preferred the soap made with 20% crude aqueous a/capu/ko leaf extract.
