Ethanol Extract Dry Syrup Granulation Formulation Dayak Onion Bulb (Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb.)

Abstract

Background: Dayak onion (Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb.) is one kind of medicinal plant native to East Kalimantan that has antioxidant activity. The dosage form that can be developed is dry syrup granules which become one of the most simple dosage forms in preparation, easy to use, storage-stable and can cover the bitter taste of the drug. The goal of this study was to find the best mix of Avicel PH 101 and Na CMC to make dry syrup granules that meet the requirements for physical properties. Methods: Research was carried out experimentally using three formulas with combinations of Avicel PH 101 and Na-CMC. The ratios of Avicel PH 101 and Na-CMC were (1:0); (0.5:0.5) and (0:1). The evaluation of dry syrup granules included organoleptic observations, a moisture content test, a flowability test, a reconstitution time test, pH test, viscosity test and a hygroscopic test. Result: dry syrup granules with variation 1:0 of Avicel PH 101 and Na-CMC have the best requirements for physical properties, i.e. moisture content of 2.47%, the flow time of 0.91 seconds, an angle of repose 25.19 ° and tap index of 10.67%. Conclusion: Dry syrup granules with a ratio of Avicel PH 101 and Na CMC (1:0) are preparations that best meet the physical properties requirements, namely moisture content of 2.47%, flow time of 0.91 seconds, angle of repose 25, 19° and a fixing index of 10.67%.
