Innovation Of Yogurt Of Wuluh Belimbing Fruit Source (Averrhoa Bilimbi L.) And Its Effect On Reduction Of Blood Glucosa Rate Of Mencit (Mus Musculus)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the juice of star fruit can be formulated in the form of yogurt and know at what concentration the yogurt of star fruit juice (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) can affect the blood sugar levels of mice (Mus musculus). Mice were induced glucose and compared its effectiveness with acarbose. Five treatment groups were used: yogurt without juice (negative control), acarbose (positive control), 0.35 ml star fruit juice yogurt, 0.50 ml, and star fruit juice yogurt, 0.65 ml star fruit juice yogurt. Blood glucose measurement for 3 days. The results showed that star fruit juice can be formulated in yogurt, meeting the standards of good physical stability, namely organoleptic, pH, and viscosity tests. In the antidiabetic test, the results showed that all concentrations can affect the blood sugar levels of mice, with a decrease of 90 mg/dl at a concentration of 0.35 ml, a decrease of 92 mg/dl at a concentration of 0.50 ml, and a decrease of 100 mg/dL at a concentration of 0.65 ml, it was concluded that the concentration that most effectively affected the blood sugar levels of mice was a concentration of 0.65 ml with a decrease of 100 mg/dl.
