Sun Protection Factor Activity of Black Glutinous Rice Emulgel Extract (Oryza sativa var glutinosa)

Abstract: Background: Recently, emulgel has emerged as a potential hydrophobic drug delivery method. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the phytochemical content of Oryza sativa extract and develop an formulation using Carbapol 940 gelling agent. Materials Methods: The emulsion was placed in gel basis after preparation formulations were evaluated for their rheology, pH, spreading coefficient, stability, sun protection factor. Then, analysis O. used determine presence alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, quinones, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, well triterpenoids steroids. Results: entire filled criteria. Furthermore, protects against UV radiation, indicated by SPF value each formulation, which increases dose increases. Based on results, 2 3 have 5.71±0.063 16.07±0.072, respectively. These suggest that they both fill Indonesian National Standard, requires sunscreen with minimum four protection. Conclusion: Consequently, can serve novel agent radiation. However, further is required ascertain mechanism action active chemicals found function antioxidant give Key words: sativa, Emulgel, Sun Protection Factor, Ultraviolet, Phytochemical compounds.
