It is known that only the inside of the potato is used, while the peel is generally discarded. However, recent studies have shown that potato peels contain many health-beneficial compounds.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the compounds present in potato peels and their in vitro activities.Methods: A scoping review following the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. The selection process involved identifying articles of in vitro research published within the last 10 years (2012– 2022). Electronic searches were conducted using the portals Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Portal Garuda by using the keywords “potato” or “Solanum tuberosum” and “peel” or “skin”. The search was limited to articles in English with full text availability.Results: The screening process resulted in a total of 4773 articles from the four search engines; 14 articles were obtained that met the requirements for the review, most of which use extract preparations in their research. Extracts of flavonoids, phenols, and glycoalkaloids are the most frequently studied compounds, and their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity have undergone extensive research.Conclusion: The potential compounds contained in potato peels, including flavonoids, phenols, and glycoalkaloids, are highly abundant and offer numerous benefits. Provides opportunities for further research to prove the potential pathway activity of the compound. These compounds have been the subject of extensive research, suggesting their significance in the context of health and nutrition.Keywords: flavonoid, peel, antioxidants, anti-inflammator

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of potato peel extract gel Granola variety on oral gingival wound healing in Wistar Rats.Methods: This research was a true experimental in vivo study, involving 30 male Wistar rats, aged 12– 14 weeks and weighing approximately 150 to 200 grams. Surgical vertical incisions, each 3 mm in length, were made on the mandibular gingiva. The test group consisted of six subgroups, each comprising 5 rats. The negative control group received a base gel, while treatment groups were given 1% povidone-iodine solution, 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide oral paste, and 2%, 4%, and 6% potato peel extract gel. Wound lengths were measured on days 3, 7, and 14 to evaluate the healing process. Statistical analysis used the ANOVA test, a p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: All experimental groups showed a reduction in wound length on days 3, 7, and 14. Notably, the application of 4% and 6% potato peel extract gel formulations facilitated to faster wound healing on day 3, surpassing the povidone-iodine and triamcinolone acetonide groups. However, by days 7 and 14, both the povidone-iodine group and the 6% formulation group demonstrated superior outcomes, although the differences in values were not statistically significant (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Potato peel extract gel formulations at 4% and 6% concentrations were found to expedite the healing of incision wounds, showing no statistically significant difference from the povidone-iodine and triamcinolone acetonide groups. Therefore, potato peel extract gel holds excellent potential for development as an alternative medicine for natural and safe wound healing therapy.Keywords: potato peel extract, gel, wound healin

Summated Xerostomia Inventory to detect both xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Summated Xerostomia Inventory (SXI-ID) questionnaire in detecting xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction (SGH). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This diagnostic study first underwent a validity and reliability test. Participants were randomly sampled from the Geriatric Clinics of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. The SXI-ID was generated through a forward-backward translation, after which its validity (item-total item correlations), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), and test-retest reliability (kappa statistic) were all assessed. The diagnostic performance of the SXI-ID in detecting SGH was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS: A total of 60 participants (aged ≥60 years) were involved in this study, most of whom were female (75%). The internal consistency of the SXI-ID was acceptable (α = 0.823), and its test-retest reliability was perfect (K= 1.00). ROC analysis showed that an SXI-ID cut-off value > 11 could detect SGH with a sensitivity of 96.0%, a specificity of 100.0%, and an area under the curve of 0.985 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The SXI-ID questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool to detect xerostomia and SGH in older Indonesians, and a score of 11 or above is useful to identify those with a low salivary flow
