ABSTRACT

Red Fruit as an endemic plant in the Papua region contains natural antioxidant components such as ?-carotene, ß-carotene, ß-criptoxanthin, ?-tocopherol. Therefore, red fruit has the potential to be developed as a raw material for medicine. This study aims to develop the use of red fruit oil by processing it into pharmaceutical preparations namely transparent soap. Red fruit sampling was carried out in Jayapura, Papua. Red fruit oil is obtained by cooking red fruit juice for 5-6 hours. The fermentation process is carried out with three time variations (1 day, 2 days and 3 days). Red fruit oil was tested for antioxidant activity using a free radical reduction method, namely DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) using the Uv-vis spectrophotometry instrument at a wavelength of 517 nm. Formulation of transparent soap preparations by adding red fruit oil and glycerin concentration variations to get the best transparent soap preparations. The methods for evaluating transparent soap preparations include tests of water content, amount of fatty acids, amount of free alkali, non-soapy fraction, pH test, foam stability test, storage stability test and hedonic test. The test results show that the antioxidant activity of red fruit oil is potentially medium with an IC50 value of 128.993 and an increase in glycerin concentration in the preparation has a significant effect on the user's liking level on the transparency of the preparation. The results of the evaluation of transparent soap preparations show that the best formula is formula three (F3) Keywords: Antioxidants, Red Fruit Oil (Pandanus conoideus Lam.), Transparent Soap
