Abstract :
Chinese Betel herb (Peperomia pellucida L.) has flavonoid and saponin content
compounds that can inhibit bacterial growth. Disinfectant effervescent tablets are a
new innovation in Indonesia because this preparation is not much on the market,
besides that the advantages of this effervescent tablet can make it easier for us to
make disinfectants. Chinese betel herb extract is formulated into an effervescent
tablet preparation. This study aims to determine the influence of variations in the
levels of binders and fillers on the physical properties of effervescent tablet
preparations and find out the activity of the effervescent tablet formula of Chinese
betel extract (Peperomia pellucida L.) in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus
aureus bacteria. Chinese betel herb extract is obtained through a maceration
extraction process using methanol solvent for 5 days. The preparation of
effervescent tablets is made 3 formulas, namely the concentration of binding
substances 10%, 13%, 15%. Physical tests of tablet preparations include
organoleptic tests, size uniformity tests, tablet hardness tests, tablet soluble time
tests, weight uniformity tests, fragility tests and antibacterial activity tests against
Staphylococcus aureus with disc paper diffusion methods. The best formula tablets
are formula I (PEG 10%) with uniformity of weight 525±17,014, tablet hardness
3,452±1,172, tablet fragility 0.264%, soluble time 1 minute 6 seconds, uniformity
size 3.33±0.06. The results of antibacterial activity tests showed weak inhibitory
power with an average formula value of 4.51±0.02.
