INVASION OF SATURATED VAPOR COCONUT SHELL THE TRANSITION OBAT MERAH TO LIQUID SMOKE COCONUT SHELL AS SOLUTIONS IN THE TREATMENT OF WOUND OUTSIDE

Coconut shell is a waste generated from the use of coconut itself. Utilization of liquid smoke coconut shell that is not widely known by the public is the content of phenols that can inhibit the growth of bacteria / fungi and can be used in the treatment of external injury. Liquid Smoke is obtained from pyrolysis of coconut shell after heating at temperature variation 300oC, 400oC and 500oC. The result of liquid smoke from pyrolysis is then purified by distillation method with temperature variation 80-100 and 100-110oC for each pyrolysis temperature. After obtaining pure liquid smoke was tested using GC-MS, antibacterial test between liquid smoke and red medicine using Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by diffusion method. It is known from the optimum GC-MS phenol results at 400oC pyrolysis temperature with distillation temperature 100-110 and its content of 13.55%. In antibacterial tests known antibiotic efficacy associated with growth inhibition zone, the larger the diameter, the greater the potential of the antibiotic sample. The widest diameter of 15.6 mm contained at 400oC pyrolysis temperature with distillation temperature 100-110oC while on the red diameter of smaller diameter of 10.0 mm. The results showed that the content of phenol in liquid smoke from coconut shells acts as a substitute for the use of red medication, because of its high antimicrobial potential associated with the treatment of infectious diseases such as blisters and ulcers. This is an alternative solution that is easy to manufacture and does not cost a lot.
