Ethanol extract of bitter melon leaves at a concentration of 5% has been shown to have mucolytic activity. For ease of use that is made of dosage forms syrup. Thickening agent serves to increase the viscosity and resist settling process resulting in a stable syrup. Gelatin has the ability to improve settling extract better than other thickening. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of gelatin to the physical-chemical properties and activity of ethanol extract syrup mukolitik pare leaves the cow intestine mucus in vitro. Extraction of leaf bitter melon is done by percolation. EEDP was made into three syrup formulas using 1% (FII), 2% (FIII), 3% (FIV) gelatin thickener. There is also syrup without extract and gelatin (FI) as a control. The four syrup formulas were examined for physical chemical properties (organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity), and tested their mucolytic activity. Data on the results of activity tests in the form of viscosity were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney. Data from organoleptic examination, homogeneity, Ph were analyzed descriptively, while viscosity with Linear Regression. The results showed that EEDP syrup with a gelatin concentration of 1%; 2%; 3% have mucolytic activity. The results of examination of the physico-chemical properties of FII, III, and IV syrups have the same taste and color, sweet and bitter, and are greenish black in color, while FI syrup is sweet and yellowish in color. Homogeneous FI syrup, FIII and FIV syrup are evenly distributed, while FII syrup has coarse particles. Fourth pH normal syrup formula. Increased concentration of gelatin (1%; 2%; 3%) can increase the viscosity of syrupKeywords: ethanol extract of bitter melon leaves, syrup, gelatin
In previous research, ethanolic extract of pineapple peel (EEPP) has activity as a sunscreen because of the content of flavonoids. EEPP can be formulated in the form of creams and lotions to facilitate use on the skin. This study aims to evaluate the physical chemistry characteristics of EEPP creams and lotions. Creams and lotions were made in 3 formulas based on variations in FI extract concentrations (15.0%), FII (17.5%), FIII (20.0%), base controls and positive controls (preparations on the market). The cream obtained was evaluated for physical chemical characteristics including organoleptic, homogeneity, adhesion and dispersion, viscosity, pH and SPF values which were analyzed descriptively. cream with varying concentrations of green, the distinctive smell of pineapple, homogeneous and in accordance with the pH of the skin. Increasing the concentration of EEPP in the preparation has an effect on increasing viscosity, adhesion but decreasing the dispersion. Whereas the lotion shows greenish color, aromatic odor and semisolid texture and is easily applied. The increase in EEPP in lotion affects the increase in pH, adhesion, but decreasing the dispersion.Keywords: Creams, lotions, sunscreen, pineapple fruit skin
Peel of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) contains xanthones especially α-mangostin which have antioxidant activity. The aim on this study was to determine the physical of lozenges extract from mangosteen peel with variation concentration of gelatin 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%, also to determine the effect formulations of powder into lozenges made with wet granulation method to the percentage reduction of the free radical. The ability of neutralizing free radicals were tested by treating the extract in
Breadfruit leaves contain flavonoid compounds that can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Breadfruit leaf extract is practical and effective formulated in ointment preparations. The base combination of PEG 400 and PEG 4000 decreases the melting point of PEG 4000, so that it is compatible and can increase the penetration of drugs in the skin. The objective of this study to determine the breadfruit leaf extract ointment with a combination of PEG 400 and PEG 4000 bases as well as antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Breadfruit leaf extract (BLE) was obtained by maceration with 70% ethanol. Salve preparations were made into III formulas with variations in base concentrations of PEG 400 and PEG 4000, namely (F1) 75%: 25%, (F2) 50%: 50%, (F3) 25%: 75%, using the fusion method. Antibacterial activity test used agar well diffusion method. Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney test used for analyzed data from antibacterial activity test. The ointment of Breadfruit leaves extract showed the color of brown ointment, semi-solid form, distinctive aroma of breadfruit leave. All of three ointment formulas have antibacterial activity indicated by the formation of inhibitory zones around the well. All of three ointment formulas have significant differences which means the combination of PEG 400 and PEG 4000 can affect antibacterial activity of BLE ointment. The higher of the concentration PEG 4000 compared PEG 400 caused inhibiton zone become smaller that means the potency of antibacterial decreased. The formula has the greatest antibacterial activity in the FI is 8,02mm.Keywords: breadfruit leaves, ointment, PEG 400 and PEG 4000, antibacterial
