Pengaruh penambahan bahan pengikat yang berbeda terhadap karakteristik fisik dan sensori tablet effervescent Sonneratia caseolaris: Effect of different binding agents on the physical and sensory characteristics of effervescent tablets of Sonneratia caseolaris

Abstrak

Bahasa Indonesia

Sonneratia caseolaris dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai minuman fungsional dalam bentuk tablet effervescent. Tablet effervescent merupakan minuman dalam sediaan tablet yang larut dalam air menghasilkan gelembung dan berkarbonasi serta memiliki manfaat untuk kesehatan tubuh. Bahan pengikat diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas serta menjaga kestabilan sediaan tablet effervescent. Bahan pengikat berfungsi untuk menyatukan bahan-bahan menjadi satu kesatuan tablet yang kohesif sehingga bahan aktif yang terkandung di dalam effervescent terdistribusi secara merata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan bahan pengikat terbaik berdasarkan karakteristik fisik dan sensori tablet effervescent yang dihasilkan. Pembuatan tablet effervescent diawali dengan pencampuran filtrat S. caseolaris dengan bahan pengikat yang berbeda masing-masing konsentrasi 2,5%, yaitu polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP), gelatin, pulvis gummi arabicum (PGA), dan maltodekstrin. Hasil campuran dikeringkan menggunakan spray dryer. Padatan hasil pencampuran diformulasikan sesuai bahan pembuatan tablet effervescent. Parameter yang dianalisis meliputi keseragaman bobot, kekerasan tablet, warna, kelarutan, waktu larut, kadar air, dan sensori. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan bahan pengikat yang berbeda berpengaruh nyata (p<0,05) terhadap keseragaman bobot, kekerasan tablet, warna, kelarutan, waktu larut, dan kadar air. Penambahan gelatin 2,5% merupakan perlakuan terbaik dengan karakteristik kekerasan 4,86 kg/cm2, kelarutan 98,32%, waktu larut <70 detik dan kadar air 2,15% telah memenuhi standar dari Farmakope Indonesia. Hasil penilaian sensori berdasarkan ketampakan, aroma, warna, rasa, dan keseluruhan menunjukkan bahwa semua perlakuan tablet effervescent sangat disukai oleh panelis.

Utilization of the nutritional content of Sonneratia caseolaris fruit can be done, one of which is through the manufacture of functional drinks in the form of effervescent tablets. Effervescent tablets are drinks in tablet preparations that dissolve in water to produce bubbles, are carbonated, and have beneficial effects on body health. Binders are required to improve the quality and maintain the stability of the effervescent tablet preparations. In addition, binding materials also function to unite the ingredients into a cohesive tablet unit, such that the active ingredients contained in the effervescent are evenly distributed. This study aimed to determine the best treatment based on the physical and sensory characteristics of effervescent tablets produced. Effervescent tablets were prepared by mixing the S. caseolaris filtrate with different binders, each at a concentration of 2.5%, namely polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), gelatin, Pulvis Gummi Arabicum (PGA), and maltodextrin. The mixture was dried using a spray dryer. The solid mixture was formulated according to the ingredients used to prepare effervescent tablets. The parameters described included weight uniformity, tablet hardness, color, solubility, dissolution time, moisture content, and sensory properties. The results showed that the use of different binders had a significant effect (p<0.05) on weight uniformity, tablet hardness, color, solubility, dissolution time, and moisture content. Treatment with 2.5% gelatin was the best treatment with characteristics of hardness (4.86 kg/cm2), solubility (98.32%), dissolution time (<70 s), and moisture content (2.15%), which met the standards of the Indonesian Pharmacopoeia. The results of the sensory assessment based on appearance, aroma, color, taste, and overall taste showed that all effervescent tablet treatments were highly favored by the panelists.
