is still suiTable for use in treating wounds on the skin.
If a topical preparation has a pH range that does not
match the pH of the skin, then the preparation has the
potential to cause irritation and erythema to its users.
Gel base viscosity was measured at a speed of 0.1
rpm for 30 seconds. According to Indonesian
National Standars 16-4399-1996, the standard
viscosity value for gel preparations is 6000-50000 cP
or 6-50 Pa.S. Viscosity measurement results for the
entire formula, resulting in a value that is included in
the standard that is 9000-10500 cP. The research of
Srividya et al (2001) describes corbopol 940 as a gel
forming agent oflaxacin antibacterial agent in
combination with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
(Methocel E50LV) which acts as a viscosity
enhancing agent. The formulation developed is a
therapy that is effective, stable, non-irritating and
provides continuous drug release over an 8 hour
period.
Sari's research (2016), aims to find out the right
comparison between 940 carbohydrate gel base and
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) on the
stability of physical properties of extract gel and
methanol fraction of kesum leaves with Simplex
Lattice Design (SLD) method, there is no significant
difference between the properties physical extract gel
and methanol fraction of kesum leaves (Polygonum
minus Huds.).
5 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the organoleptic test, the four formulas are
semi solid, yellowish-white, thick and odorless.
Homogeneity testing, homogeneous preparations but
there are bubbles The higher the concentration of
putat air (B. racemose) extract, the more bubbles as
well as the color of the yellowish gel. This is also due
to high saponin levels. The pH test shows it is ideal
for topical preparations, which is between pH 6-6.2.
The highest pH is found in formulas with a
concentration of putat air (B. racemose) extract 1%.
Viscosity measurement results for the entire formula,
resulting in a value that is included in the standard that
is 9000-10500 cP. Based on the physical essence, this
gel preparation is still suiTable for treating wounds
on the skin.
