Body odor is a problem that already existed in the days of human ancestors. Body odor can be a problem for questioners who are unpleasantly unpleasant. The ancestors of the Indonesian people have many traditional recipes for removing body odor containing spices used for bathing or consumed as herbal medicine or fresh vegetables. There have been many studies on plants on body odor based on the theory of odor-specific bacteria, namely Staphylococcus epidermidis, but research on the use of herbs for body odor is still not widely found. However, it is found strange in Korea, which is one of the cosmetic center of the world does not provide deodorant products. This initiates genetic research on body odor. Finally known as the ABCC11 gene is a gene associated with body odor. The ABCC11 gene encodes a protein that can be metabolized by bacteria to produce odors that are expected to be unpleasant. ABCC11 gene activity N-glycosylation performance can be inhibited by inhibiting the glycosidase enzyme to form ?- glucosidase. Therefore, this study aims to look at the potential of plants in Indonesia that have empirical claims to reduce body odor with data on antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis and conduct research on theories of handling body odor through ?-glucosidase activity. This review was carried out by the method of searching and studying the literature. Of the 16 plants used as external medicine, 12.50% showed a very strong response, 56.25% showed a strong response, 31.25% showed a moderate response and 0% showed a weak response to S. epidermidis, while of the 14 plants used as herbs or salad, 85,71% showed a potent response and 14.28% showed a non-potent response to ?-glucosidase. Thus, herbs used traditionally in Indonesia can reduce body odor and involve the link between the ?-glucosidase enzyme and claims for the efficacy of body odor.
