The study, entitled "Utilization of Alugbati (Basella rubra) and Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) Ethanolic Extract Basis for Liquid Soap Formulation" was conducted at Department of Medical Technology Laboratory, College of Nursing, Cavite State University-Indang Campus from July to October 2019. The study generally aimed to determine the combined effect of Alugbati, and Kamias extracts as an antimicrobial liquid soap. Specifically, the study is to determine the concentration Alugbati and Kamias ethanolic extract significantly inhibit the growth of bacteria, identify which group of bacteria would Alugbati and Kamias ethanolic extract be more effective in inhibiting its growth and determine which antimicrobial soap could be formulated. Alugbati leaves were collected from Tres Cruses, Tanza Cavite and Kamias leaves were collected in Trece Martires City, Cavite. Based on the results of the study, the researchers would like to recommend the following: To utilize other parts of Alugbati (e.g. stem) to extract the maximum antimicrobial constituent present in the plant sample; To utilize other parts of Kamias (e.g. stem and fruit) to extract the maximum antimicrobial constituent present in the plant sample because leaves does not produce maximal antimicrobial effect; To use other solvents in the extract preparation; To have a larger population of respondents to test the effectivity of the liquid soap; To extend the study using different concentration of Alugbati and Kamias extract, and to further investigate on other plants which can produce antimicrobial activity other than Alugbati and Kamias.
