deactivate free radicals by binding to these 
radicals, through electron donation so that 
radical  species  become  more  stable.  It  is 
will be neutral and unreactive [1]. One of 
the plants that contain antioxidants is black 
garlic [3].  
Figure 1. Black Garlic 
Black garlic is a product of garlic 
that undergoes an aging process (heating), 
at  65-80oC  for  several  days.  The  heating 
process uses an electric rice cooker so the 
color changes due to the Millard reaction. 
This  change  also  increases  its  bioactive 
compounds.  These  compounds are  s-allyl 
cysteine,  amino  acids,  polyphenols,  and 
flavonoids  [4].  In  another  study,  it  was 
proven that black garlic fermented for 15 
days had a strong antioxidant, which is 2.41 
g/ml [5]. 
Black  garlic  also  has  activity  as 
antibacterial  [6],  antifungal  [7], 
hepatoprotective [8], antidiabetic [9]. Black 
garlic has great potential to be developed 
into  supplements  and  pharmaceutical 
preparations. However, black garlic has an 
unattractive shape, black color, sweet and 
sour  taste,  and  a  short  shelf  life  [6].  To 
improve the taste and make it easier to use, 
lozenges  can  be  made.  In  addition,  by 
making lozenges, it can increase shelf life 
compared to the extract and can be made 
with  the  right  dose.  So  in  this  study, 
lozenges were made from black garlic. 
 
2.   Methods 
2.1   Materials 
The  materials  to  be  used  were 
aquadest,  gallic  acid,  black  garlic  thick 
extract,  70%  ethanol  (Merck),  folin-
ciocalteau, methanol (Merck), NaOH, black 
garlic  simplicia,  DPPH  reagent  (2,2-
Diphenyl-1-pikrilhidrazi).  For  the 
formulation  materials,  Avicel  (CV. 
Quadrant),  Gum  Arabic  (CV.  Quadrant), 
starch pregelatin (CV. Quadrant), sucralos 
(CV. Quadrant) and talcum (CV. Quadrant) 
were used. 
 
1.1   Extraction of Black Garlic 
Garlic was heated using an electric 
rice cooker with several variations of time, 
which are 7, 14 and 21 days so that black 
garlic  was  obtained.  Then  black  garlic 
simplicia  was  chopped  and  extracted  by 
maceration method  using 70%  ethanol. It 
was carried  out for  4x24  h  while  stirring 
occasionally.  The  extract  obtained  was 
filtered,  then  the  filtrate  was  evaporated 
using a rotary evaporator at 30 rpm and a 
temperature  of  50-60oC  to  obtain  a 
concentrated extract. 
 
1.2  Total  Polyphenol  Determination 
of  extract  and  tablets  of  black 
garlic 
The standard solution (gallic acid) 
was  prepared  with various  concentrations 
of 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 g/mL. Meanwhile, 
the test solution was prepared by weighing 
0.2  g  of  extract  and  adding  25  ml  of 
methanol and then stirring for 30 min with 
a magnetic stirrer. Then it was filtered and 
put into a 25 ml volumetric flask and it was 
added methanol up to the mark. Each 1 ml 
of  the  test  solution  and  the  comparison 
solution were put in a test tube and 5 ml of 
folin-ciocalteu (7.5% in water) was added. 
It was allowed to stand for 8 minutes, then 
added 4 ml of 1% NaOH and incubated for 
1  hour.  The  polyphenol  content  of  the 
extract  was  measured  using  a 
spectrophotometer at 765 nm [14]. 
 
1.3  Antioxidant  activity  test  of 
extract and tablets of black garlic 
Antioxidant activity test of black 
garlic  extract  and  tablets  is  using  DPPH. 
The antioxidant activity was quantitatively 
measured  using  a  UV-Vis 
spectrophotometer.  The  concentration 
variations  of  the  samples  used  were  100, 
200,  300,  400,  500  ppm.  Samples  were
