ABSTRACT
The advancement of public knowledge about the adverse effects of synthetic detergent on the environment causes a gradual changes in modern lifestyle. Public have awareness to use natural materials that have minimum risk in daily cleaning activities. Cibodas Botanic Gardens (CBG) is an ex situ conservation institution that have a role as a reservoir of plant biodiversity. CBG has various species of Sapindaceae collection, a family known produced saponins which can be used as natural detergent, as well as valueable fruit. However, research on the Sapindaceae collection of CBG is limited to its fruit potential. Therefore, this study aims to inventory the Sapindaceae collection of CBG and to find out their potency as natural detergent. Literature researches were carried out through digital national and international journal databases and repositories. Our results showed that CBG had 18 species of Sapindaceae. A total of 12 species contain saponins and have antimicrobial activity. There is no Sapindaceae in the CBG which classified as a threatened plant species. The most important part of this research is to build a reference on the potency of Sapindaceae as a natural detergent by considering the aspects of conservation and sustainable use.
