concentrated part to a low concentration part. Apart
from the particle size factor, another factor that
affects is the surface area of an area. The wider the
surface of a diffusion area, the wider the parts that can
be crossed.
In this study, the standard solution used was
ascorbic acid which had an IC
50
value of 5.8 ppm.
Ascorbic acid was used as the standard reference
solution because ascorbic acid is one of the most
common antioxidant compounds. Also, ascorbic acid
is included in the very strong antioxidant group
because ascorbic acid is one of the antioxidant
compounds that is pure without any other
compounds.
To determine the significant difference between
the IC
50
value of the turmeric-tamarind traditional
herb and the turmeric-tamarind infused water, a
statistical test was performed, namely the
independent T-test. The independent T-test requires
that the data be normally distributed. Therefore, the
first step to take was a normality test used the
Shapiro-Wilk test. This test had a sample requirement
of ≤ 50. The next step was to perform an analysis to
see the significance of the IC
50
value between
turmeric-tamarind infused water used an independent
T-test. The alternative hypothesis used was the IC
50
value of turmeric-tamarind traditional herb a was
different from turmeric-tamarind infused water. The
null hypothesis (H
0
) was that the IC
50
value of
turmeric-tamarind was not different from turmeric-
tamarind infused water. The results obtained with a
significance value of 0.000 between turmeric-
tamarind infused water. When compared to the
specified significance value, namely 0.05, H0 was
rejected because it was 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, it
could be concluded that there was a significant
difference in IC
50
value between turmeric-tamarind
traditional herb and turmeric-tamarind infused water.
4 CONCLUSIONS
Turmeric-tamarind infused water (IC
50
142.08 ppm)
had lower antioxidant activity than turmeric-tamarind
traditional herb (IC
50
94.21 ppm). Based on statistical
tested, there were differences in the IC
50
value of
turmeric-tamarind in traditional herb and infused
water, influenced by differences in dosage forms and
the manufacturing process of these preparations.
