Bajakah Tampala merupakan tanaman asli Kalimantan Timur yang mempunyai aktivitas antibakteri, tetapi hingga saat ini aktivitas antibakteri dan antijamurnya terhadap S. aureus dan C. albicans belum ada yang melaporkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi bajakah tampala sebagai antibakteri terhadap S. aureus dan antijamur C. albicans. Efektivitas antibakteri bajakah tampala terhadap S. aureus dan antijamur C. albicans dilakukan menggunakan metode microbroth dilution dengan melihat nilai minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC50). Ekstrak etanol kulit bajakah tampala mempunyai senyawa flavonoid, alkaloid dan terpenoid. Ekstrak etanol bajakah tampala mempunyai aktivitas terhadap antibakteri S. aureus serta antijamur C. albicans. Oleh karena itu, etanol kulit bajakah tampala dapat dikembangkan menjadi kandidat agen antibakteri dan atijamur terhadap S. aureus dan C. albicans.
The utilization of banana’s tuber was considering the nutritional content of banana’s tuber is quite high. This study aims to determine that glycemic index (GI) varieties of banana tuber given orally in rat. Banana tubers examined, among others, parasites banana ambon (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum), kepok (Musa paradisiaca var. formatypica) and raja (Musa paradisiaca var. raja). Rats are grouped into 5 groups and each grup had 3 rats. The banana’s tuber is given in the form of flour suspended into 0,1% NaCMC with a dose of 2,5g/kgBW, a positive control of glucose oral dose 2,5g/kgBW. Blood sampling of test animals at hour 0 (before administration of test or control compounds); 0,5;1 and 2 hours after administration of the test compounds. The blood serum is then determined glucose level using glucometer. The data in the blood glucose leve; of the test versus time animal were analyzed into Area Under Curve (AUC) glucose versus AUC (0-2 hours). The calculation of GI is done by comparing AUC (0-2 hours) of test compound to AUC (0-2 hours) glucose. The results showed that the three varieties of banana tuber had low GI values, were Ambon’s banana’s tuber had a glycemic index amount 32,5; Kepok’s banana tuber had GI amount 25,5 and Raja’s banana tuber had GI amount 45,6.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
