Formulation And Antioxidant Test Of Body Lotion Etanol Extract Of Young Papaya Fruit (Carica papaya L) By DPPH Methods

Abstract

Young papaya and ripe papaya are often only used as side dishes at certain events, but only the flesh is used. In other words, papaya skin is only used as waste. This research aims to formulate ethanol extract of young papaya peel (Carica papaya L) into a body lotion preparation and test the antioxidant activity of body lotion in ethanol extract of young papaya fruit peel (Carica papaya L) using the DPPH method. In this research, 4 formulas were made with varying concentrations of young papaya peel extract (Carica papaya L). In the physical stability test, test parameters include organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, stickiness, hedonics and irritation. The results of research based on physical stability tests showed that organoleptically, pH, homogeneity, spreadability, stickiness, hedonic and irritation for the 4 formulas were stable during storage. Based on the antioxidant activity test of body lotion, ethanol extract of young papaya fruit skin (Carica papaya L), it was found that body lotion F1 with a concentration of 2.5% had an IC50 value of 251.99 which was in the weak antioxidant category, body lotion F2 with a concentration of 3% had an IC50 value of 251.99. 202.86 and body lotion F3 with a concentration of 3.5% has an IC50 value of 162.36, where it can be concluded that body lotion F2 and F3 are in the moderate antioxidant category.
