Abstract:
This study aimed to 1) Develop the extraction process of a mix herbal extract having the anti-microbial and antioxidation effects. 2) Analyze the chemical composition of the extracts from Artocarpus heterophyllus dry leaves and Zanthoxylum limonella dry fruits. 3) Develop an anti-microbial herbal shampoo containing an appropriate mix extract from Artocarpus heterophyllus dry leaves and Zanthoxylum limonella dry fruits; assess the physical and chemical properties of the shampoo. 4) Test the anti-microbial efficacy. herbal shampoo containing an appropriate mix extract from Artocarpus heterophyllus dry leaves and Zanthoxylum limonella dry fruits. 5) Oriented approach to training about the shampoo will be performed for those interested. Various extraction processes were studied on A. heterophyllus dry leaves using solvent polarity descending extraction, maceration, soxhlet extraction and reflux extraction. The Z. limonella dry fruit was extracted by maceration with ethanol-water. The anti-microbial assay using the paper disk agar diffusion method was used to select the appropriate mix extract effective against 7 strains of tested microbial including P. acnes DMST 14916, S. aureus DMST 8013, S. aureus DMST 8840, S. epidermidis DMST 12228, S. pyogenes DMST 17020, C. albicans DMST 90028 and C. albicans DMST 10231. The extracts and mix extract were assayed for antioxidation activity using DPPH radical scavenging. TLC fingerprints was used to analyze chemical constituents in the extracts. Markers were analyzed by RP-HPLC. Shampoo formulations was developed using the appropriate mix extract. The physicochemical properties and stability of the best formula were assessed. In vitro anti-microbial efficacy was assessed using 1-min paper disk agar diffusion method. After that, training was performed to 30 students under the Bachelor of Public Health Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University under the Royal Patronage, Pathumthani. The results showed that1) The suitable extraction process for A. heterophyllus dry leaves was maceration with ethanol-water which gave high yield of the crude extract (7.09 %). The crude ethanol extract obtained from maceration with ethanol-water of Z. Limonella dry fruits was 17.24 % yield. All crude extracts from A. heterophyllus dry leaves were not anti-acne. The crude ethanol-water extract from Z. Limonella fruits was active against acne causing bacteria The crude ethanol-water extracts from A. heterophyllus leaves, Z. Limonella fruits and their selected mix extract were effective antioxidant at the EC50 0.5, 7.55 and 30.90µg/ml respectively.2)TLC analysis found that A. heterophyllus leaves and Z. Limonella fruits were rich in flavonoids and steroid-terpenes, but no alkaloid was detected. RP-HPLC fingerprints detected by UV 285 nm revealed that the retention times of prominent sample peaks were at 13 min for A. heterophyllus leaves and 23 min for Z. Limonella fruits.3)The best formulation of shampoo was formula 9. Its physical appearance (color, odor, and pH) was unchanged with no separation and/or agglomeration after stability tested at accelerated conditions. 4)The shampoo product was a little more effective against acne-causing microbes than the shampoo base. 5)The training assessment found that the students knowledge before and after training was significantly different at the 0.01 level and the training satisfaction of the students was very good by the average of 4.30.
