ABSTRACT
This
work aims to study the appropriate method for extract Betel leaf as crude
extracts to prepare as a natural antioxidant in moisturizing hand cream. Betel leaf was treated by 7 methods and the optimized
method was selected for preparation of Betel leaf extract. The fresh Betel leaf and dried Betel leaf were used
in this study. Betel leaf extracts were analysed for total phenolic content and essential oil as eugenol content. Then Betel
leaf extracts were used as the one component for moisturizing hand cream. The lipid
oxidation was evaluated by measurement on malondialdehyde content. The results
revealed that an extracts solution from dried Betel leaf contained total
phenolic content and eugenol content more than fresh Betel leaf. The ethanol
extraction method was the optimum method since this method showed the maximum
total phenolic content and eugenol content in dried Betel leaf as 5.26 g/100 g and 138.95 mg/100 g, respectively. The moisturizing creams were formulated by
using crude Betel leaf extracts as the one composition compare with base cream (no addition of Betel leaf extracts). The moisturizing cream samples were
analysed for
malondialdehyde. its showed that the cream that contained Betel leaf
extract contained malondialdehyde content lower than in cream base. Thus, crude
extracts from Betel leaf showed the efficacy to reduce lipid oxidation reaction
in moisturizing hand cream.
