PASTA GIGI BERBAHAN DASAR FLAVONOID DARI EKSTRAK MENTIMUN (Cucumis Sativus L) GUNA MENGHILANGKAN BAU MULUT

Abstract

Halitosis is a problem that often experienced by everyone due to the buildup of bacteria that thrives in oxygen-poor areas. In oral and dental health product the majority contain antioxidants and antibacterials. Cucumber has potential as a natural antioxidant because in the phytochemical test cucumber has flavonoid compounds. In the process, extraction using a fixed variable in the form of cucumber powder weight is 100 g (powder), 95% ethanol extractor. Where the variable is the amount of solvent with variations of 600 ml, 700 ml, 800 ml, 900 ml, 1000 ml. In the extraction process, Maceration was carried out for 3 days with stirring. The obtained filtrate was evaporated with a rotary evaporator to obtain a thick extract. The maceration results were tested with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer to determine the results of flavonoid levels. And it is known that the value of flavonoid ppm dissolving for solution 600ml is 10.21, solution 700ml is 23.26, solution 800ml is 162.58, solution 900ml is 69,59 , solution 1000ml as much as 28.42. So that the best treatment is the third solution. After being made into a toothpaste preparation, it’s a preparation that has the same texture, smell and color as toothpaste in general.
