Saponification between alkaline salt and virgin coconut oil (VCO) will produce liquid soap. This is because the use of virgin coconut oil (VCO) in saponification is known to be very good because of the presence of lauric acid which has clean power and functions as an antimicrobial. The addition of miana leaf extract (Coleus atropurpureus) in the manufacture of liquid soap because it contains flavonoids, tannins, saponins, essential oils which also function as moisturizers and antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the best combination of pure coconut oil (VCO) liquid soap with variations in the concentration of miana leaf extract (Coleus atropurpureus) in reducing free radicals in the form of bacteria. In this study, a laboratory experimental method was used with the addition of miana leaf extract. A= 0% (w/w), B= 10% (w/w), C= 15% (w/w),) in 100 mL total virgin coconut oil (VCO) three times. The test parameters were in the form of a bacteriological test using the Total Plate Number (ALT) method. From the results of the study, it was found that the formulation of pure coconut oil (VCO) liquid soap with various concentrations of miana leaf extract (Coleus atropurpureus) could reduce free radicals such as bacteria.

Virgin coconut oil has been made by using papaya leaf extract as a source of the papain enzyme. Papaya leaf extraction with maceration used ethanol 95% as solvent. The crude ethanol extract was purified by means of gradient column chromatography using hexane, diethyl ether and ethanol as solvents. The results showed that using papaya leaf extract could significantly increase the quantity of VCO. Coconut milk cream without treatment (negative control) obtained 3.0042 ± 0.046g of VCO, while treatment with papaya leaf extract gained 6,039 ± 0.049 - 7,952 ± 0.031g of VCO, an increase of about 97.5% - 161%. Based on the medium chain saturated fatty acids (MCFA) and long chain saturated fatty acids (LCFA) in VCO, it indicated that the quality of VCO obtained was not good. VCO in diethyl ether fraction and crude extract etanol produced yellow VCO, indicating chlorophyll was still there. Etanol fraction of VCO provided the best quality with the most of lauric acid content and clear color. The VCO components identified using GCMS analysis obtained several fatty acids such as capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, and stearic epoxy.  Keywords: virgin coconut oil, papain enzyme, papaya leaf extract Telah dilakukan pembuatan virgin coconut oil dengan ekstrak daun pepaya sebagai sumber enzim papain.

Introduction: The role of virgin coconut oil in the treatment of allergic rhinitis is controversial. Thus, the aim of the present study is to determine the effects of virgin coconut oil ingestion, in addition to standard medications, on allergic rhinitis. We also studied the side effects of consumption of virgin coconut oil. Methods: Fifty two subjects were equally divided into test and control groups. All subjects received a daily dose of 10mg of loratadine for 28 days. The test group was given 10ml of virgin coconut oil three times a day in addition to loratadine. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis were scored at the beginning and end of the study. Results:, the symptom score were divided into nasal and non-nasal symptom scores. Sneezing score showed a significant difference, however the score was more in control group than test group, indicating that improvement in symptom was more in control group. The rest of the nasal symptom and non-nasal symptom score showed no significant difference between test and control groups. Approximately 58% of the test subjects developed side effects from consumption of virgin coconut oil, mainly gastrointestinal side effects. Conclusion: In the present study, ingestion of virgin coconut oil does not improve the overall and individual symptoms of allergic rhinitis, furthermore it has side effects.
