Making Dish Soap From Natural Ingredients Starfruit Wuluh (Averrhoa Bilimbi) And Testing Soap Quality In Accordance With SNI 06-0475-1996

Abstract

Making Dish Soap From Natural Ingredients Starfruit Wuluh (Averrhoa Bilimbi) And Soap Quality Testing According to SNI 06-0475-1996 has been carried out. This research was conducted because of the large number of star fruit found in Indonesia which according to researchers is still underutilized, while the content of star fruit that makes this fruit can be reprocessed into products that can be utilized by the community. The purpose of this research is to make dish soap products that are effective for use by the public and most importantly dish soap products from natural ingredients of starfruit are safe to use according to standards according to SNI 06-0475-1996. This research was started from the process of making dish soap by extracting star fruit which was used as a natural raw material for making soap which was then mixed with soap-making ingredients such as Texapon, SLS, Na2SO4, Camperlan, and others. The results of making soap with natural ingredients for star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi) can be said to be effective because of the results of the analysis that are in accordance with the quality standard requirements of SNI 06-0475-1996, namely seeing from the yellow color that corresponds to the dye given, namely yellow dye, the shape of the soap. Wash the dishes with starfruit, which is liquid and thick, and the smell of starfruit dish soap is appropriate, namely the smell of lemon essence which is used as a deodorizer for starfruit dish soap. The results of quantitative analysis such as the pH of the soap obtained are pH 7.2. For the analysis, the specific gravity obtained was 1.03 g/mL and the total microbes obtained from the analysis of the total plate number (ALT) was 0 colonies/gr. The results of the FT-IR analysis identification test confirm that the star fruit is effectively used as dish soap with the functional groups obtained, namely the OH group, CH group, and C=O group which function as fat binders, antioxidants, disinfectants, kill germs and bacteria.
