Dry suspension formulation of jackfruit ethanol extract (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) using arenga gum as suspending agent

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) contains phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, polyphenols, and steroids. Jackfruit has a high moisture content and seasonal fruiting so it needs to be made as a preparation for dry suspension. Dry suspension requires a suspending agent material to increase viscosity and slow down sedimentation. Arenga gum can be used as a binding material obtained from palm seeds. The purpose of this study was to make a dry suspension of jackfruit by using arenga gum as a binder. The results showed all three formulate had good results. The resulting evaluation results show that the determination of the angle of repost for the formula 1 30.31°, formula 2 29.99° and formula 3 28.21°, for the test flow time formula 1 7.85 seconds formula 2 8 seconds and formula 3 4.81 seconds, for viscosity test formula 1 27.99 cP, formula 2 55 cP and formula 3 95 cP, for volume sedimentation test formula 1 0.35 mL , formula 2 0.55 mL and formula 3 0.9 mL, for formula type weight test 1 9.09%, formula 2 6% and formula 3 14.5%, for organoleptic test has good results because there is no significant change, for dry suspension moisture test formula 1 0.13%, formula 2 0.36% and formula 3 0.2%, for viscosity stability test and organoleptic test are qualified.
