Various concentrations of sorbitol as the plasticizer were added into a fermentation medium in the synthesis of bacterial cellulose-sorbitolcomposite (BCSC). The BCSCobtainedwas purified by soaking it into a cycled water-NaOH-water. The purified BCSC wasthen compressed using a hot press with the pressure of 300 psi to obtain BCS plastic. The BCS plasticwas characterized in the aspect of physical properties (water content,the degree of swelling), mechanical properties (tensile strength,elongation, elasticity), molecular structure (functional groups, thedegree of crystallinity), and biodegradability. The results showed that the percentage ofwater content anddegree of swelling of theBCS plastic increased with the addition of sorbitol concentrations. The maximum tensile strength was obtained with the addition of 10.5% sorbitol (%v/v). The degrability of the BCS plastic was up to 59% until the 9th day. TheFTIR results showed that functional groups appeared in the BCS plastic were similar to those of the BC. The degree of crystallinity of the BCSplastic decreased with the increasing concentration of sorbitol.","PeriodicalId":15309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Natural Resources","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85277803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there have been limited phytochemical or biological studies on the leaves of E. subumbrans and there are not studies that align with its traditional medicinal uses. The aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the leaves of E. subumbrans to support its topical use in the treatment of skin infections. Disc diffusion agar assays were used to determine the antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts of the leaves of E. subumbrans.The ethanol extracts showed the most significant activity with MIC values of 0,5 µg/mL. against a sensitive strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Extract concentration of 0,5 mg/ml, 1 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml showed inhibition zone continuously as high as 1,83 mm; 3,42 mm; 5,17 mm, and 8,00 mm. The ethanol extracts of the leaves of E. subumbrans also showed significant activity against Candida albicans with MIC values of 0,5 µg/mL.
