ORMULASI TABLET KUNYAH DARI EKSTRAK ETANOL CABAI RAWIT (Capsicum frutescens L.) DENGAN VARIASI PENGISI MANITOL – DEKSTROSA MENGGUNAKAN METODE GRANULASI BASAH

Cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L.) is a plant that contain flavonoid and had anantioxidant activity. Cabai rawit extracts were made as a chewable tablet with purpose toincrease the acceptablet of herb medicine in the society. This research was done to learn theeffect of variation of filler combination mannitol-dextrose.
