The formulation of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus granule with acacia and sodium alginate as binding agents

Probiotics are living microorganisms that can have a positive impact on health when consumed in adequate amounts. This research aimed to determine the effect of different binders on the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus, a member of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The probiotic granules were prepared with wet granulation method using mannitol as the filling ingredient. Formulas I-III used acacia as a binder (3%, 4%, and 5%), while Formulas IV-VI used sodium alginate (1%, 1.5%, and 2%). The probiotic granules produced from all formulas were evaluated for flow time, the angle of repose, compressibility, and LAB viability. The LAB viability test results showed that all of the six formulas met the probiotic requirements, i.e., at least 107 CFUs (Colony Forming Units) per gram. The viable LAB in Formulas I-VI were 3.94×107, 4.4×107, 2.7×107, 2.6×107, 3.5×107, and 2.3×107 CFU/g, respectively. The data were analyzed by comparing the average values of the One-Sample T-Test results, followed by Mann-Whitney test. The results revealed that each formula had different capacity in maintaining the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus with different binders (i.e., acacia and sodium alginate) as a probiotic product. Formula II (4% of acacia) produced probiotic granules that met the requirements of compressibility and the angle of repose. However, its granular flow time exceeded the standard.

Utilization of Bromelain Enzyme from Pineapple Peel Waste on Mouthwash Formula Against Streptococcus mutans

The aim of this research was to apply bromelain enzyme from rough extract of Ananas
comosus (L.) Merr. peel into the mouthwash preparation and investigate the enzyme activity to
inhibit Streptococcus mutans growth.. The research method, bromelain was extracted by means
of a blended pineapple skin, the extract was filtrated and centrifuged to obtain a supernatant.
Enzyme activity was analyzed by spectrophotometer at 275 nm. Mouthwash formula which
involved different concentration of bromelain (20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 50%, and 60% (v/v))
was tested the antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. The results showed that the formula
with 35% enzyme was an effective in restricting the growth of Streptococcus mutans, with

Effects of Sonicator Usage Time on Entrapment Efficiency of Liposome Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate Made by Thin Layer Hydration Method.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is one of derivatives of vitamin C which is more stable in water. MAP hydrophilic nature makes it difficult to penetrate the stratum corneum. Therefore, to increase the penetration, MAP is encapsulated in a liposome system. The sonication can be used to regulated the vesicles size and increase the entrapment efficiency. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of sonicator usage time on entrapment efficiency. The thin layer hydration method was used to prepare MAP liposomes with a ratio of lecithin and cholesterol in 30: 1, respectively. The variations of sonicator usage time were 10,15 and 20 minutes. Characterization of liposomes was observed by morphology, vesicle size and drug entrapment studies. The results showed that MAP entrapment efficiency percentage consecutively was 63.4705%; 70.4261%; and 78.0869%; while the size obtained is 466.9 nm; 298.6 nm; and 179.4 nm. One-way ANOVA test results showed a significant difference in each treatment. It can be concluded that the increasing sonicator usage time can decrease vesicle size and increase entrapment efficiency of MAP liposomes.
