Description 435-440
The garlic and ginger peels have been thrown as a waste. Nowadays researchers have been trying to investigate the
antimicrobial properties of garlic and ginger peels extracts. Nevertheless, the effects of these materials on synthetic leather have
not been experimented. The study aims at antimicrobial treatment of synthetic leather by the peels extracts and examining it
against the staphylococcus epidermis bacterium. The peels have been collected in Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia, dried in the oven for
one hour at 104°C, weighed and grounded in a grinder with a mesh size of 50-300 mesh. For both materials, 40 g of peel
powder has been dissolved in 400 mL of ethanol solvent and stirred by a magnetic stirrer and then extracted by ultrasonic
extraction method. Leather samples have been treated by extracted peels (5%, 15% and 20%) together with citric acid as a
binder and soap as wetting agent. The antimicrobial properties of the treated samples have been assessed by a disc diffusion test
method. The garlic peel extract at all concentrations levels has a wider inhibition zone indicating that garlic peel extract is more
efficient at inhibiting Staphylococcus epidermis growth than ginger peel. Therefore; it could be used as antimicrobial
treatment of synthetic leather.
