title: The Effectiveness Antimicrobial of Polysaccharide Gel from Durian Peel Ethanol Extract and Chitosan Gel
abstract: BACKGROUND: Research on galenic bioactive compounds as antimicrobial agents needs to be developed. Durian peel ethanol extract is a polar polysaccharide consisting of D-galacturonic acid with -1,4 glycosidic bonds and can form a polysaccharide gel. Chitosan can be synthesized through the deacetylation of chitin as a compound (1.4)-2 amino-2deoxy D-glucopyranose and can form a gel in 1.5–2% acetic acid. The properties of chitosan are biodegradable, non-toxic, polycationic antimicrobial, and bioco
