ENHANCING VITAMIN C CONTENT IN SOAP PRODUCTION VIA USING SUBSEQUENT AMOUNT OF JUICE FROM PHYLLANTHUS AMBLICA AND COSNICIUM BLUMENEUM
Abstract:
The demand of cosmetic products is rapidly growing, despite majority of them is high in chemical substances and may harm the skin. Phyllanthus amblica (Melaka fruit) contains 30 times more Vitamin C compared to oranges while Cosnicium blumeneum (mengkunyit) helps raise level of Vitamin C in the body. Therefore, looking at potential and benefits, a research has been conducted to produce a bar soap (Amblica Soap) from Phyllanthus amblica and Cosnicium blumeneum. Analyze has been done to determine the Vitamin C, antioxidant level and perception level of respondents towards Amblica Soap. Likert Scale and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used as the quantitative instrument. A number of 30 respondents were selected based on their locality. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse data collected using SPSS version 19.0. Result confirming the presence of Vitamin C and shows the perception level of respondents towards Amblica Soap is highly positive. In conclusion, Amblica Soap contains Vitamin C and accepted optimistically.

IP no: nil
---------------------------------------------Finding:
Overall mean for respondents’ acceptance towards Amblica Soap is 3.90 which means it is highly accepted.The pH value is 9.5 and the vitamin C content is ND
---------------------------------------------Suggestion for future work:
Based on the weaknesses, some improvements and improvements need to be taken into account to ensure the vitamin C is presence in the Amblica Soap. Methods in applying heat need to be replaced and alternative procedure is suggested in further experiment.
