pirulina contain scomplete nutrition and bioactive components as a source of antioxidants. The aims of this research were to determine a formula of troche from Spirulina platensis according to the physical characteristicstandard of the Indonesian Health Ministry, and to determine the antioxidant activity of the selected troche fromSpirulinaplatensis . This research was conducted in three stages. The first stage was troche s formulation . The second stage was troche s physical analys e s, including weight uniformity , friability, hardnes ,and disintegration time. The third stage was to determine the antioxidant activity of the selected formula of troche from Spirulinaplatensis . There were five formulas of troches i .e., FTS 1, FTS 2, FTS 3, FTS 4, and FTS 5. The troche consist e d of Spirulina platensis powder, carrageenan, gelatin, corn flour, sugarleaf ,and mint powder. Based on the weight uniformity of the troche, all formulas met the standard. However, according to friability aspect , the best formula was FTS 1 with rate of 1.7%. The hardness of five formula ranged from 0.65 to 2.3 Kp, and none met the standard. The best formula based on disintegration time measurement was FTS 1(24:47 minutes). Based on the physical characteristics of the troches, the selected formula was FTS 1. The antioxidant activity (IC 50 of the selected formula (FTS 1) was 288,68 ppm. Keywords : antioxidant, troches, physical characteristics of troches, Spirulina platensis
