Abstract

ABSTRAK Belut mengandung banyak asam amino dan asam lemak yang memegang peranan penting dalam proses penyembuhan luka. Penelitian ini bertujuan memformula gel ekstrak belut untuk mempercepat penyembuhan luka bakar. Polivinil alkohol (PVA) 146.000 dan Hidroksipropil metilselulosa (HPMC) 60SH-50 digunakan sebagai basis gel. Setiap basis gel digunakan dalam tiga konsentrasi yang berbeda yaitu PVA 8% (FA1), 10% (FA2) dan 12% (FA3); HPMC dengan konsentrasi 4% (FB1), 5% (FB2) dan 6 (FB3). Propilen glikol digunakan sebagai humektan. Metilparaben dan propilparaben digunakan sebagai pengawet. Vitamin E digunakan sebagai antioksidan. Evaluasi meliputi pemerian, homogenitas, pH, uji tercuci dan viskositas. Formula yang terbaik kemudian diuji efeknya terhadap penyembuhan luka bakar. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa formula yang menggunakan PVA sebagai basis gel menghasilkan gel yang transparan sedangkan formula yang menggunakan HPMC menghasilkan gel yang buram. Makin besar konsentrasi basis gel maka dihasilkan gel dengan viskositas yang lebih tinggi pula. Berdasarkan pemerian dari gel yang dihasilkan, formula yang menggunakan PVA 10% (FA2) sebagai basis gel adalah formula yang terbaik dari formula lainnya. Dari hasil pengujian terhadap penyembuhan luka bakar, formula gel yang mengandung ekstrak belut menyembuhkan luka lebih cepat dibandingkan formula basis gel dan pembanding. ABSTRACT Eel contains a lot of amino acids and fatty acids that play an important rule in wound healing processes. This study aims to formulate the eel extract gel to accelerate burn wounds healing. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 146,000 and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) 60SH-50 were used as gelling agents. Each gelling agent was used in three different concentrations i.e. PVA with concentration 8% (FA1), 10% (FA2) and 12% (FA3); HPMC with concentration 4% (FB1), 5% (FB2) and 6% (FB3). Propylene glycol was used as a humectant. Methylparaben and propylparaben were used as preservatives. Vitamin E was used as an antioxidant. Evaluations included general appearance, homogeneity, pH, washed test, and viscosity. The best formula is then tested for its effect on the healing of burn wounds. The results showed that formula that used PVA as a gelling agent produced transparent gel, while the formula that used HPMC produced opaque gel. Increasing the gelling agent concentration, increasing the viscosity of the gel produced. According to the physical appearance of the gel produced a formula that used PVA 10% (FA2) as the gelling agent was the best formula among the other formulas. From the results of tests on burns healing, gel formulas containing eel extract heal wounds faster than base gel and positive control.
