Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) has compounds that can be used for body health, beauty skincare, food additives, and much more. This research was aimed to prepare the dry extract of beetroot and formulate it into a loose powder, compact powder, and cream. The preparation was started by adding 2, 4, or 6% of dry extract, then blending the pulp and drying the resultant residue using a freeze dryer. Testing on color homogeneity, polishing, breakage, pH stability, color stability, and the hedonic test was carried out to determine the product quality. The initial result of phytochemical screening showed it might contain flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, triterpenoids, steroids, and quinones. The color stability test performed at 30 °C showed that the cream was unstable while other forms showed fair stability at 8 °C. All dosage forms were homogeneous and could be applied easily. The breakage test showed no fractures. The pH remained stable for all formulas (between 3–5) after 28 days of storage. The color stability test showed that the significant discoloration only happened to the loose powder and cream. The hedonic test showed that the compact powder with a concentration of 6% was the most preferred formula by users.

Background: Beta vulgaris (chenopodiacea) is a plant reported for its variety of ethnic medicinal uses. Hence we have planned to screen anti ulcer activity of root of the plant with the alcoholic extract. Root powders successively extracted with alcohol and were subjected for phytochemical screening to identify different phytoconstituents.Methods: Anti ulcer activity was evaluated in various animal models like pylorus ligation and ethanol induced ulcer models in rats.Results: Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, saponins, polyphenols. No mortality was observed with root extract up to maximum dose level of 4g/kg. Further alcoholic extract of 200 and 400mg/ kg / p.o significantly (p˂0.01) reduced the ulcer score, ulcer number, ulcer index, free acidity and total acidity in pylorus ligation and ethanol induced ulcer models in rats.Conclusions: The present study revealed that the root extract of Beta vulgaris has antiulcer activity.

Objective: Phytochemicals as phenol and flavonoid have a powerful biological activity. So, this study aimed to carry out phytochemical screening, total phenol and flavonoid content in two plant species i.e. M. rubicaulis and R. indica. Methods: The extraction of different parts of two plant species was done by maceration using ethanol. Phytochemical screening was done to confirm the presence of phytochemicals. Total phenol content was done by Folin ciocalteu method and total flavonoid content was done by Aluminium chloride colorimetric method. Results: Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoid, phenol, terpenoids in both plant species. The highest concentration of phenol content was observed in the root and stem of an extract of M. rubicaulis i.e. 281.83±1.98 mg GAE/g dry extract weight and 225.37±0.60 mg GAE/g dry extract weight. The highest concentration of flavonoid contents was observed in the leaves of R. indica i.e. 462.21±4.67 mg QE/g dry extract weight followed by stem and root of M. rubicaulis i.e. 381.06±5.23 mg QE/g dry extract weight and 337.43±1.39 mg QE/g dry extract weight. Conclusion: Phytochemical analysis concluded the presence of biologically important phytoconstituents like flavonoid and phenol in both plant species. Further studies, should be carried out to isolate specific chemical constituents and should be used in different studies to explore their biological effects.

Beta vulgaris (chenopodiacea) is a medicinal plant reported for its variety of ethnic medicinal uses. Beta vulgaris showed antioxidant, anticancer, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory activities. Hence we have planned to screen antiulcer activity of root of the plant with the methanolic extract. Root powders successively extracted with methyl alcohol and were subjected for phytochemical screening to identify different phytoconstituents. The methanolic extracts of roots of Beta vulgaris were investigated for ulcer protective activity against pyloric-ligation, ethanol induced gastric lesion and cold restraint stress induced ulcers. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, sterols, and alkaloids. The extract was tested for their lethal effect up to the dose level of 2000 mg/kg. None of them have produced abnormal behavior or mortality in rats. Further methanolic extract of 200 and 400 mg/kg/p.o significantly (p˂0.01) reduced the ulcer score, ulcer number, ulcer index, free acidity and total acidity in pyloric-ligation, ethanol induced gastric lesion and cold restraint stress induced ulcer models in rats. The present study revealed that the root extract of Beta vulgaris has antiulcer activity.

<p>The aims of this research were to determine the concentration of beetroot juice in jelly which panelists like best; to determine the color degradation rate constant in jelly colored with beetroot juice caused by sunlight and fluorescent light; and color degradation rate constant of jelly colored with synthetic colorant.</p><p>The organoleptic test used 2,5 percent; 5 percent; 7,5 percent; 10 percent; and 12,5 percent beetroot juice and permitted synthetic colorant for food. The light intensity to test the beetroot color stability in jelly were 879,06 lux, 1.688,54 lux, 2.342,2 lux and 6.752,2 lux.</p><p>The results showed that the concentration of beetroot juice which panelists like best was 5 percent.; The color degradation rate constant of jelly colored by 5 percent beetroot juice on intensity 879,06 lux was 0,0468 hour-1; 1.688,54 lux was 0,0565 hour-1; 2.342,2 lux was 0,0653 hour-1;<br />6.752,2 lux was 0,0887 hour-1. The higher the light intensity, the higher the degradation constant rate.</p>

Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is one of the local resources that contain natural pigments, namely brazilin. Brazilin is a pigment derived from Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) that is potentially used as a natural dye. This study aims to prove that Secang Wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) can be applied as a dye in Compact Powder Blush On.The method for obtaining Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) extract uses the maceration extraction method with a sample of Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) of 250 gram and ethanol 96% then evaporated in a water bath with a temperature below 80 0C resulting in a yield of Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) extract of 27.87%. pH during the maceration process must be kept neutral, if it is not stable then it is added citric acid or sodium bicarbonate. The components of the Compact Powder Blush On are Talcum, Kaolin, Parrafin Liquid, Okside Zinc, Isopropyl myristate, and the addition of Secang wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan L.) with a concentration of 5%, 10%, 20%. Tests on preparations made include pH test, sticky power test, topical test, and stability test.The observations show that the Compact Powder Blush On preparation at a concentration of 5%, 10%, and 20% Secang wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan L.)  is pink, easily applied, has an average adhesion of 13.83%, produces a pink color when applying, and has a pH of 7. However, using Secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) as a Blush On dye does not have color stability. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that Secang Wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) can be used as a natural dye Compact Powder Blush On, but additional ingredients are needed so that the color remains stable during storage at room temperature.
