Uji Sifat Fisik Cold Cream Kombinasi Ekstrak Kulit Buah Manggis (Garcinia Mangostana L.), Daun Binahong (Anredera Cordifolia), Herba Pegagan (Centella Asiatica) Sebagai Antiluka Bakar
Pengobatatan luka bakar menggunakan tanaman herbal telah banyak dikembangkan, seperti menggunakan tanaman kulit buah manggis, binahong dan pegagan.Kulit buah manggis memiliki derivat xanton yaitu ?-mangostin yang terkandung daam kulit buah manggis memiliki aktivitas antioksidan dan antimikroba yang paling besar.Daun binahong juga memiliki aktivitas farmakologi sebagai antioksidan serta ekstrak etanol daun binahong memiliki aktivitas antiluka bakar secara visual dan secara histopatologi mampu menurunkan infiltrasi sel radang, meningkatkan granulasi jaringan dan kepadatan kolagen.Kemudian herba pegagan juga mempunyai kandungan utama asiatikosida yang termasuk golongan flavonoid dapat memfasilitasi penyembuhan luka dengan mempercepat epitelisasi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka akan dibuat sediaan topikal yaitu cold cream untuk mempermudah pengaplikasian dari kedua ekstrak tersebut untuk mengobati luka bakar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sifat fisik yang paling baik dalam formula sediaan cold cream kombinasi ekstrak kulit buah manggis,daun binahong, dan herba pegagan. Pengujian sifat fisik meliputi Uji sifat fisik meliputi Uji homogenitas, Uji Ph, Uji viskositas, Uji daya lekat, Uji daya sebar.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cold cream kombinasi ekstrak kulit buah manggis (Garcinia mangostana L.), daun binahong (Anredera cordifolia), dan herba pegagan (Centella asiatica) memiliki sifat fisik yang baik dengan cold cream homogen tipe M/A, daya lekat sebesar 13,88 ± 3,6 g.cm/det, daya sebar 5,15 ± 0,82 pada beban 150 gram, pH 6,29 dan tipe aliran tiksotropik

Not AvailableTo feed around 9.8 billion people by 2050, it is equally important to increase food production while maintaining the sustainability of the environment. Conservation agriculture (CA) is one of the approaches to manage agro-ecosystems in order to improve productivity, increase the profitability and food security and enhance the resource base and environment. Although many researchers have pointed out the prospects and concerns of adopting CA in different climatic conditions, CA in arid regions raises uncertainties due to its extreme climates, most of the soils with low water holding capacity, high potential evapotranspiration, low and non-uniform distribution of rainfall and greater wind erosion. However, CA practices could benefit the arid agriculture through moderation/reducing of evaporation, regulating water and nutrient in soil and reducing wind erosion. Arid soils, largely characterised by low soil organic carbon (SOC), have the greater potential for higher C sequestration with the use of CA practices. Among the key components of CA, no-tillage (NT) coupled with mulching might be effective in distribution of the soil moisture at proper stage of the crop growth. The emission of CO2 flux from soil and soil salinity are reduced with the adoption of CA in arid soils with the use of cover crops. Due to better aeration and nutrient movement in CA land, beneficial bacterial community and diversity are promoted. However, for CA to work effectively in arid regions, the three components of CA such as minimum disturbances of soil through no- and reduced-tillage, permanent soil cover and crop rotation must be critically followed together or simultaneously for improving soil health, crop productivity through high nutrient and water efficiency, carbon sequestration, mitigation of climate change and sustainability.Not Availabl

In the food production sector, soil degradation due
to soil salinization and sodification has become one of
the universal concerns agriculture is facing. According
to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the
United Nations, around the world nearly one billion
hectares of soil were facing severe levels of salinization
and sodification problem that need immediate attention
(FAO, 1994). The problem of soil salinity and sodicity
also leads to desertification (Tóth et al., 2008). In
addition to chemical inorganic amendments like
gypsum, organic amendments are studied for their
efficiency in reclaiming soil sodicity as addition of
organic matter to soil improves soil health through
various beneficial functions, thus helping in effective
reclamation (Roy et al., 2006). Therefore, this study
was conducted in order to investigate the utilisation of
economical organic amendments as sources of soil
sodicity reclamation in comparison with gypsum.An incubation study was conducted at AICRP laboratory, ADAC&RI, Trichy to assess the efficiency of different amendments in reclaiming soil sodicity. Sodic soil samples were treated with different amendments such as inorganic source (gypsum) and organic amendments (vermicompost, green manure, goat manure, poultry manure, coir pith compost and FYM) and at weekly intervals, the physico-chemical properties related with sodicity of the treated soils were analysed. It was found that gypsum was effective in reducing soil sodicity. However, organic amendment such as vermicompost was at par with gypsum in reclamation of soil sodicity.Not Availabl
