dc.description.abstract | Tests were conducted antiacne activity emulgel of essential kaffir lime leaves oils
(Citrus hystrix DC.) against Propionibacterium acne. Antiacne activity assays performed by
agar diffusion method at a concentration of 1%, 2%, 4%, and 8%. The results showed that of
the kaffir lime leaves oil can inhibit the growth of P.acne. The greatest inhibitory regions
shown the higher concentration of kaffir lime leaves oils, then the inhibitory of growth
inhibition area P.acne increasingly widespread of 8% > 4% > 2% > 1%. Relationships
increased concentration of essential lime leaves oils in the emulgel dosage effect on physical
properties such as chemical emulgel pH, viscosity, and the power spread. From the test
results it is known that the higher the concentration of oils in the preparation kaffir lime
leaves emulgel the pH and viscosity of the lower F0> F1> F2> F3> F4, while increasing
power spread F0 <F1 <F2 <F3 <F4. The storage period of emulgel preparation effect on the
physical characteristics of the stocks as organoleptic properties, pH, and viscosity. The longer
the period of storage of the organoleptic properties emulgel will change the pH value drops,
and viscosity values also decreased significantly. | en_US |
