Discussion

Experimental study shows microemulsion with pomegranate peel extract effectively targets Aedes aegypti, highlighting its potential.

The ethanol extract microemulsion of pomegranate peel has an LC50 of 51,607 ppm against Aedes aegypti larvae.
In comparison, the ethyl acetate fraction microemulsion has an LC50 of 52,401 ppm, indicating a slight edge for the ethanol extract.
This research employs an experimental design with controlled treatment groups ranging in concentration for effective evaluation.
The findings underscore the potential for using pomegranate peel extracts as sustainable, natural larvicides for mosquito control.

Wahyuni et al. (2025) studied this question.
