Formulation and Evaluation of Effervescent Granules Ethanol Extract of Andaliman Fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC) with Combination of Citric Acid-Tartaric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate

The combination of citric acid-tartaric acid and sodium bicarbonate in effervescent granules has an important role providing effect. Citric tartaric are organic acids that can react with when they come contact water. This reaction results the release carbon dioxide gas, which a splitting effect makes dissolve rapidly Research on formulation evaluation andaliman fruit ethanol extract aims to optimize stability, solubility, active ingredients from granules. study is experimental research. Evaluation carried out form organoleptic test. test be observed directly through shape, color, aroma, taste produced. Granular specific gravity test, namely real gravity, compressed flow rate angle repose compressibility. Tests for dispersion time pH tests were this study. FI, FII, FIII meet requirements compressibility, rate, repose, time, Even though 3 formulas found range 5.5 5.7, but still declared because it close neutral pH. best influence physical properties effervescent, FIII, as seen time.
