Abstrak

Corn as the main commodity of Gorontalo Province produces a lot of waste. This makes the
government off er investment opportunities by utilizing corn waste, including corn silk. Literature studies
show that corn silk has a good antioxidant activity, so the lip balm formulation was done by utilizing
corn silk infusion as an active ingredient. Quantitative research with quasi laboratory experiments
was done to determine antioxidant activity of corn (Zea mays L.) silk lip balm formulated using three
concentrations of corn hair infusion, namely Formula A (7.5%); Formula B (15%) and Formula C
(22.5%). Preparations was made by mixing water phase (corn hair infusion and glyceryl monostearate)
with oil phase (lanolin, beeswax, cetyl alcohol, liquid paraffi n and corn oil) and emulgator (span 60
and tween 60). The results of the organoleptic stability and pH evaluation during 4 weeks observation
showed that there was no change, both in terms of organoleptic and pH of each preparation. Antioxidant
activity was measured using “SHIMADZU UV-1800†UV-Visible Spectrophotometer and quercetin
(1000 μg/mL) as comparison. The results showed that the Formula B (15%) gave a better activity
in reducing DPPH radical with IC50 value was 0.987 mg/mL, Formula C (22.5%) 1.857 mg/mL and
Formula A (7.5%) 2.909 mg/mL
