Production of body lotion from star fruit beer

Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the production of skincare lotion products from star fruit beer and analyze its physical, chemical and microbiological properties. Three formulations of body lotions were studied: control lotion, ale beer lotion and star fruit beer lotion to evaluate physical properties by considering the lotion such as lotion texture, color and smell. It was found that in the analysis of the antioxidant activity by the method 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) a star fruit beer lotion showed the highest antioxidant rate at 51.80%, followed by ale beer lotion at 37.41% and the least was the control lotion with an inhibitory rate only 20.80% free radicals. In total phenolic compounds assays by Folin-Ciocalteu indicated that star fruit beer lotion had the highest total content of phenolic compounds followed by ale beer lotion and control lotion which have total phenolic compounds of 2,158.1, 1,921.9, and 1,194.2 micrograms of gallic acid per milliliter respectively, and from the 3 formulations of body lotions for microbiological analysis, i.e. the total number of bacteria, yeast and fungi aerobic and pathogenic microorganisms, namely Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Clostridium spp. The total number of aerobic bacteria, yeast and fungi in the three lotion formulations was < 10 CFU/g and no contamination of all 4 pathogenic microorganisms was found.
