AbstractGambier is one of Indonesian superior estate crop. Among several chemical compounds in gambier, catechin from polyphenols group has the greatest benefit for health. However, catechin has a limitedness of stability that causes a low bioavailability property. One way to maintain and improve the stability of catechin is the application of nanotechnology. The objective of this study is to obtain the best formulation in producing a solution of catechin nanoparticles with particle droplet size <300nm as an antioxidant material. Observations were conducted to the formulations of the concentration of the solution of chitosan (0.2 and 0.4%), sodium tripolyphosphate (Na-TPP) (0.1 and 0.2%), catechin extract (0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6%) and the ra...
