Andrographis paniculate or “hempedu bumi” (HB) is one of famous medicinal herb that<br />

has pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, antidiabetic,<br />

anti-HIV and anti-viral. However, because of high bitter taste of this plant, many<br />

people not be able to accept it. Mixing the plant extract with carrier like whey protein,<br />

Arabic gum and cyclodextrin is reported to reduce bitter taste. Therefore, this study is<br />

carried out to see the effect of those carriers on the antioxidant activity of HB powder<br />

(HBP) and sensory acceptance of cookies incorporated with HBP. The carrier will be<br />

mixed at 20% (w/v) with the HB extract (1:1 of HB leaves: water) before proceeding for<br />

spray-drying. Cookies incorporated with HB-cyclodextrin is expected to have higher<br />

acceptability compared to cookies with HB-Arabic gum and HB-whey protein.<br />
