Abstract

Ethanol extract of torch ginger’s flower (Etlingera elatior) is
rich in active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and
saponins, steroids. Flavonoids are bioactive compounds that
serve as antioxidants and antibacterials. This study aims to find
the antibacterial activity of solid soap with torch ginger’s flower
extract against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. This study includes
the preparation of simplicia, extracts, moisture content, total ash
levels, insoluble acid ash levels, water soluble extract levels. The
first evaluation includes organoleptic test, pH, irritation, and
stability. The formulation of the tested soap preparations was
5%, 7.5%, 10%. The data analysis was performed
with ANOVA. The results of this study revealed that its ethanolic
extract had a moderate category of bacterial resistance
against S. aureus where in FI (5%) has a clear zone with 7 mm
in diameter, FII (7.5%) 8.3 mm and FIII (10%) 10.4 mm.
Furthermore, for P. aeruginosa, it has a moderate clear zone
with diameter in FI (5%) is 8.86 mm, FII (7.5%) is 9.73 mm, and
FIII is 10.6 mm. Torch ginger’s flower ethanolic extract had an
antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa with
the widest clear zone is in the FIII (10%, v/v) in the number of
10.4 mm against S. aureus and 10.6 mm against P. aeruginosa
with moderate resistance category
