Abstract

One of the plants that is considered to have the potential to be developed as anti-vaporous material on paper is the Kirinyuh plant, because it is contain sesquiterpene. The main material used is corncob and cornhusks, both are mixed with a ratio of 3: 1 and cooked using a 800 ml NaOH solution of 800 ml for 60 minutes. The results of the dishes were washed using clean running water and added Kirinyuh leaf extract with variations in extract concentrations of 0%, 2%, 4% and 8% respectively. Paper pulp printed in accordance with A4 paper size and dried under the sun. This test is carried out to determine the best concentration to kill termites. The number of test animals for each treatment was 5 animals. In the preliminary test for Kirinyuh leaf extract the concentrations were 0%, 2%, 4% and 8% (m/v). The testing process is carried out for 48 hours. Based on the results obtained, it was found that kirinyuh leaf extract had activity against termite mortality. Data shows that paper with the addition of extract with 8% concentration has the best activity against termite mortality with a percentage reaching 100% in two days.
