Green tea leaf (Camellia sinensis L.) is a great plant containing polyphenol compounds
such as catechin and gallocatechin gallate that can be used as tyrosinase inhibitors. In
this study, the green tea leaf extract made into gel dosage form using sodium alginate as
a gelling agent. This research aimed to determine the effect of different sodium alginate
concentrations on the physical stability of gel extract green leaf and to know the effect of
gel formulation on tyrosinase inhibition. Gel made into 3 formulas with each
concentration of sodium alginate of 2; 2.5; 3%. The extraction of green tea leaves was
performed by reflux using 50% methanol solvent. The results showed that the three
formulas did not occur in phase separation, and had IC50 values of 34.80, 23.27, 20.69
μg/mL. The conclusion is gel dosage form with 3% sodium alginate gave the best
inhibition of tyrosinase with IC50 of 20.69 μg/mL.
