Abstract :
Papaya seeds (Carica papaya L.) have antibacterial activity because they
contain terpenoid, karpain and flavonoid compounds. Flavonoids have ?OH
groups that can damage bacterial cell walls. The dry powder of papaya seeds was
extracted by maceration method using 80% ethanol. The purpose of this study was
to determine the optimal combination of HPMC and carbopol concentrations in
the hand sanitizer gel of papaya seed ethanol extract which can influence the in
vitro inhibition of Escherichia coli bacteria. The data analysis used in this study
was one way ANOVA and then continued with the Post Hoc Tests. The results of
the study obtained a yield of 6.933%. The optimum formula obtained is RUN 8
with a concentration of HPMC: Carbopol (0.25gram: 0.75gram). The results of
antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli bacteria obtained an average of
44.25 mm from the two samples. The statistical results obtained stated that there
was no significant difference between the concentration of A and ciprofloxacin as
a positive control.
