PEMBUATAN SABUN PADAT TRANSPARAN MENGGUNAKAN MINYAK KELAPA SAWIT (Palm oil) DENGAN PENAMBAHAN BAHAN AKTIF EKSTRAK TEH PUTIH (Camellia sinensis)
Abstract: Transparent soap is
a kind of solid soap. The addition of white tea extracts could be expected to
increase the advantageof transparent soap. The purpose of this research was to
determine process and formulation for the making of transparent solid soap
using palm oil based with addition white tea extracts and its effect to the characterictics
of transparent solid soap. This reasearch was used laboratory experimental
method using descriptive analysis. The treatment of this reasearch were
addition of white tea extracts using concentrations 1% (w/v) with the addition
of A= 0% (w/v), B=0.5% (w/v), C=1.0% (w/v), and D=1.5% (w/v). Parameters
observed were organoleptic, chemical properties, antibacterial activity,
hardness, and stability of foam. Organoleptic test results showed that
panelists prefer soap treatment B with a percentage of 36.67%. The chemical
properties of this soap was in accordance with SNI solid soap No.06-3532-1994,
except amount of fatty acids. The value of water content and evaporated
substance was 12.17%, the content of free alkali was 0.101%, the content of
unsaponified fraction was 2.10%, and the amount of fatty acid was 35.67%. pH
value was in accordance ASTM D 1172-95 with pH value of 10. The value of
hardness was 0.0091 mm/g/s, stability of foam was 39.08%, and antibacterial activity
with inhibition zone diameter was 11.28 mm. It proved that making transparent
solid soap using a palm oil based and the addition of white tea extract as
active ingredients could be applied by the community.
