Arisanty Arisanty, Dwi Rachmawaty Daswi

Abstract


Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L), known as a fruit plant, is also used as a medicinal plant. The parts used include pericarp (fruit peel). Rambutan peel  has a high antioxidant content, but it has not been widely used and is only considered as waste. The aim of this study was to make an effervescent granule formulation from dried extract of rambutan peel which can be used as an antioxidant health drink, according to the results of previous studies on the effects of rambutan peels. Effervescent granules were made in 3 formulas with variations of PEG 6000 which functioned as granule binder. After that the granule formula was made by the dry method and physical quality testing was carried out including organoleptic test, water content, flow rate and angle of repose, density of granule, time to disperse and pH measurement of solution. The results showed that the water content for formulas A, B and C were 0.64%, 0.24% and 0.38% respectively. Results of  flow velocity test of formulas A, B and C respectively are 9.82 seconds, 8.22 seconds and 8.64 seconds. Angle of repose for formulas A, B and C are 29,98o, 29,98o and 29,98o, respectively. Densities for formulas A, B and C are 0.8898 g/ml, 1.1183 g/ml and 1.5325 g/ml, respectively. The dispersion times for formulas A, B and C are 128 seconds, 107 seconds and 112 seconds, respectively. While the average pH of the granule solution for formulas A, B and C respectively was pH 6.91, pH 7.01 and pH 6.85. From the overall tests carried out on the effervescent granules of rambutan peel, it was shown that the three granule formulas met the physical quality requirements of granules, and the formula with the best physical quality among the three was formula B. This is evident from the pH value closest to neutral pH, dispersion time the fastest, the most fast flow rate and the least water content.
