PEMANFAATAN VCO MENGANDUNG KAROTENOID TOMAT DAN KARAGENAN DALAM PEMBUATAN LOTION

ABSTRACT Research has been conducted on the making of Lotion using VCO containing Tomato Carotenoids and Carrageenan with a mass concentration of 3%. The stability of Lotion is determined by the stability of the emulsion in the Lotion preparation. The resulting Lotion was tested for quality according to SNI 16-4399-1996 standards, namely pH, density, viscosity, and total microbial test. In addition, the resulting Lotion was tested for total carotenoids based on the reading results of UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. The results showed that the highest carotenoids in A1 samples were 129.99 mg / L and the lowest was in A6 samples 38.15 mg / L. And the results of the Lotion quality test found in Lotion by using carrageenan were better than Lotion using cetyl alcohol. Keywords: VCO, carrageenan, carotenoids, Lotion, SNI      ABSTRAK                Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang Pembuatan Lotion menggunakan VCO mengandung Karotenoid Tomat dan Karagenan dengan konsentrasi massa 3%. Kestabilan dari Lotion ditentukan dengan kestabilan emulsi dalam sediaan Lotion. Lotion yang dihasilkan diuji kualitas menurut standar SNI 16-4399-1996 yaitu uji pH, massa jenis, viskositas, dan total mikroba. Selain itu, Lotion yang dihasilkan diuji total karotenoid berdasarkan hasi pembacaan Spektrofotometri UV-Vis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa yang memiliki Karotenoid tertinggi pada sampel A1 sebanyak 129,99 mg/L dan terendah pada sampel A6 38,15 mg/L. Dan hasil uji kualitas Lotion didapati Lotion dengan menggunakan karagenan lebih baik dibandingkan dengan Lotion menggunakan setil alkohol. Kata kunci: VCO, karagenan, karotenoid, Lotion, SN
