Abstract :
One of the plants used as an alternative treatment is green betel leaf. Green betel leaf
(Piper betle L) has flavonoid chemical flavonoid which is used as hepatoprotector.
Solution preparations have the advantage of being easy to use, have a sweet taste,
fragrant aroma and are easily absorbed in the digestive tract so this research was
made in syrup preparation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of
variations in propylenglycol concentration on the physical properties of syrup and to
determine the concentration of propylenglycol which produced good physical
stability of syrup. Green betel leaf was extracted using maceration method with 70%
ethanol. Green betel leaf extract is made as syrup using propylenglycol with
concentrations of 11%, 12%, and 13%. The syrup obtained was tested including
organoleptic, homogeneity, clarity, pH, specific gravity, viscosity, transferred volume
and hedonity. Based on the research of green betel leaf extract formulation in syrup
preparations that the addition of variations of propylenglycol concentration can affect
physical properties by increasing specific gravity, viscosity, pH and at a concentration
propilenglikol 12% produces good physical stability and is more widely accepted
among the public.
