The yield of limpasu fruit extract was 30.49 grams or 7.81%. Results of preliminary identification of ethanol extract containing saponins and flavonoids. The results of the antibacterial test formulas 1 to 3 had inhibition zones 12, 53; 7.94 and 9.97 mm with a positive control of tetracycline which had an average inhibition zone of 28.87 mm. The peel-off gel formulation had antibacterial activity because the average inhibition zone was more than 6 mm.]]>
