Abstract
Sungkai leaves have a high oxidant content so they can be used as corrosion inhibitors. Antioxidant compounds are very easily oxidized. so encapsulation protects sungkai leaf extract to slow down the degradation of antioxidant compounds through encapsulation. Encapsulation of sungkai leaf extract uses maltodextrin and chitosan as coatings. Characterization of maltodextrin and chitosan encapsulation in sungkai leaf extract is water content test, solubility and corrosion inhibition test. The ratio of maltodextrin and chitosan obtained is 8:2
