<p>Penelitian yang betujuan mcngkaji pengaruh periode pcncahayaan terhadap petumbuhan, hasil dan komponen minyak tanaman M. piperita L, telah dilakukan di Instalasi Penelitian Balai Penelitian Tanaman Rempah dan Obat, Lembang, Jawa Barat, dai bulan Januari 2000 hingga Juli 2000. Penelitian dilakukan dua tahap. Tahap pertama membuat variasi lingkungan cahaya dan tahap kedua penyulingan dan analisis komponen minyak dengan kromatograi gas spektrometer massa. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok 5 perlakuan, yaitu I^&gt; (panjang hari normal sebagai kontrol), L, (pemutusan periode gelap 1 jam, pukul 21.00-22.00 mulai umur 30 hari), Lj (pemutusan peiode gelap 1 jam, pukul 21.00-22.00 mulai umur 60 hai), Lj (penambahan cahaya 4 jam, pukul 18.00-22.00 mulai umur 30 hai), dan U (penambahan cahaya 4 jam, pukul 18.00-22.00 mulai umur 60 hari). Hasil penelitian menunjuk¬ kan bahwa perubahan lingkungan mengubah fcnologi tanaman M. piperita L, meliputi petumbuhan vegetatif dan reproduktif, yang selanjutnya mempengaruhi sintesis menthol. Penambahan cahaya 4 jam mulai umur 30 hari setelah tanam (Li) memberikan petumbuhan vegetatif dan reproduktif paling baik, dengan ciri-ciri morfologi tanaman sebagai berikut tanaman berbunga, batang tegak (tidak rebah), tanaman tinggi, diameter batang besar, jumlah ruas banyak, stolon sedikit, jumlah daun banyak dan lebar. Fcnologi tanaman yang mcmiliki petumbuhan vegetatif dan reproduktif yang baik dapat menghasilkan produksi tema dan minyak yang tinggi. Perubahan fcnologi tanaman akibat manipulasi lingkungan mengubah komponen minyak dan mutu menthol. Fcnologi tanaman yang memiliki petumbuhan vegetatif maupun reproduktif yang baik menghasil¬ kan menthol tinggi dan menthofuran rendah. Penambahan cahaya 4 jam mulai umur 30 hari setelah tanam menghasilkan minyak dengan kadar menthol paling tinggi yaitu 54.89% dan menthofuran paling rendah yaitu 7.83%.<br /><br />Kata kunci: Hasil, komponen, minyak peppermint, Mentha piperita L., peiode pcncahayaan</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>Effect ofphotoperiod on the growth, yield and component ofpeppermint oil<br /><br />Research on the effect of photoperiod on the growth, yield and component of peppermints oil of M. piperita, was carried out in the expeimental garden of the Institute for Spice and Medicinal Crops, Lembang West Java, from January to July, 2000. The study was conducted in two steps, i.e. The irst step was manipulation of photo peiod using TL lamps and the second step was distillation and analisis of peppermint oil from their products with gas chromatography and mass spectromctry. The experiment used ive treatments, i.e. (1) control or normal light peiod, (2) four hours light supplement at the age of 30 days and 60 days ater planting, and (3) one hour interruption of dark peiod at the age of 30 days and 60 days. The result showed that the changes in light peiod affected the phenology of the crop. Four hours light supplement at the age of 30 days gave the best vegetative and reproductive growth (morphology of Mentha piperita i.e. flowering, erect stem, tall, wide, large stem, more internodes, leafy, and developed only few stolons). This morphology also resulted in the highest resh mateial and oil product. The change of phenology as the effect of light peiode manipulation could change oil component and inally the quality of menthol. Four hours light supplement at 30 days ater planting showed (he highest menthol content (54.89%) and the lowest menthofuran (7.83%).<br /><br />Keywords: Mentha piperita L., component, photoperiod, yield, peppermint oil</p>

Long days (16 h light), high photon flux density (1200 �Em-2 s-1.) and high night temperature (20°C) resulted in the highest oil yield. : Daylength, night temperature, day temperature and photon flux density were important interacting factors determining oil composition. The photosynthate model proposed by Burbott and Loomis (Plant Physiol., 1967, <B.42, 20-8) explained the effect of environmental factors with respect to pulegone, menthone and menthofuran. Factors favouring the maintenance of high levels of photosynthate resulted in high concentrations of menthone and low concentrations of pulegone and menthofuran. The photosynthate model does not explain the effect of environmental factors on several other monoterpenes.

Background: Red pumpkin beetle, Aulacophora foveicollis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a serious agricultural pest of cucurbit plants. Chemical pesticides have been in practice for many years to control the pests. Recently, the plant essential oils were formulated as nanoemulsion, have gained interest for their effectiveness and eco-friendly nature. The current study was aimed to assess the efficacy of Mentha piperita nanoemulsion against an agricultural pest A. foveicollis. Methods: M. piperita essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS technique. Ulrasonication method was used to formulate the nanoemulsion. The stable nanoemulsion was investigated and characterized by DLS. The efficacy of the nanoemulsion was screened against the pest of cucurbits, A. foveicollis at different concentrations and compared with its own bulk emulsion. Result: In GC-MS technique, menthol was found to be the major component with the highest percentage of 16.47 and the nanoemuslion was prepared in different ratios comprising of peppermint oil, surfactant, acetone and water. The stable nanoemulsion was investigated and characterized by DLS with mean droplet size of 10.84nm, PDI was 0.1 and zeta potential was -45 mv, altogether proves to be the good stability of nanoemulsion. The Bioassay was conducted for about 96 hours and the highest mortality was recorded in the nanoemulsion than the bulk emulsion. The resulted LC50 value of nanoemulsion is 22.38% v/v is found to be effective than the LC50 value of bulk emulsion is 87% v/v, respectively. Thus, from the results obtained the nanoemulsion was found to be highly significance than that of the bulk emulsion. So, nanoemuslion may be used as an eco-friendly agent against the agricultural pest management.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of polyacrylic acid polymers (Ultrez 10, Ultrez 20, Carbopol 980, and Carbopol 940) on the viscosity and the in vitro permeation of phenolic compounds from the gel prepared from natural horse chestnut seed extract. Experiments were performed in the presence and in the absence of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita). Our results showed that peppermint oil decreased the viscosity of the gels and permeation of phenolic compounds from all gel samples. Results show that the highest content of phenolic compounds (1.758 μg cm-2) permeated in vitro from gel based on Carbopol Ultrez 20 without peppermint oil added (p < 0.05 vs. other tested polymers).

Peppermint oil adalah minyak atsiri yang diperoleh dengan destilasi uap dari bagian di atas tanah tanaman berbunga Mentha Piperita Linne. Kandungan utama dari peppermint oil adalah menthol (35-55%) yang mempunyai aktivitas sebagai antibakteri dan penyegar mulut. Hal inilah yang menjadikan dasar untuk diformulasikannya peppermint oil dalam sediaan edible film sebagai penyegar mulut dengan menggunakan pati yang merupakan pembentuk film yang baik karena mengandung amilosa cukup tinggi. Amilosa bersifat tidak larut dalam air dingin tetapi menyerap sejumlah besar air dan mengembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan jenis pati pada karakteristik fisik sediaan edible film peppermint oil. Pati yang digunakan berasal dari pati gandum, pati garut, pati jagung, dan pati kentang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan konsentrasi 025% tiap pati. Uji karakteristik fisik meliputi organoleptis, waktu hancur, tensile strength, percentage elongation, young’s modulus, dan percentage LoD. Uji tanggapan pengguna meliputi aspek warna, bentuk, bau, dan rasa serta uji Angka Lempeng Total. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan jenis amilum yang berbeda berpengaruh signifikan pada karakteristik fisik dan tanggapan pengguna. Peningkatan kadar amilosa pada pati meningkatkan waktu hancur, tensile strength, young’s modulus, dan menurunkan percentage elongation serta percentage LoD dari edible film peppermint oil antar formula. Hasil uji Angka Lempeng Total memenuhi syarat yaitu < 104 koloni/g. Kata kunci : edible film, karakteristik fisik, peppermint oil, pati
