Abstract

The burn is the most common type of trauma that is found over the world. Betel nut and snake fruit belong to the family of Arecaceae have various phytochemicals that have antioxidant activity to accelerate the wound healing process. This study was aimed to explore the wound healing effect of ethyl acetate extract from betel nut and snake fruit. This study used 20 rats that divided into four groups include Standard (Bioplaceton©), Control, Gel of Snake fruit seed, and Gel of Betel nut. The gel was formulated from the ethyl acetate extract of snake fruit seed and betel nu by the maceration process. A steel plate conducted the burn under ketamine anesthesia. The parameters that were evaluated were wound contraction and epithelialization period. The result of this study showed that the wound contraction showed a significant difference up to 4 days of observation (P-value < 0.05). While, the group of standard, gel of snake fruit seed, and gel of betel nut have a significant difference in epithelialization period against the control group (P-Value < 0.05). Overall, both of the gel extracts have potential acceleration burn wound healing. However, the gel of betel nut is more effective than the gel of snake fruit seed.
