Natural dyes from mahogany are usually obtained by conventional extraction. This extraction process requires a large solvent, a long duration of the process so that the energy requirements are also higher. Therefore, the use of "green techniques" to extract natural dyes with a minimum of energy and solvent should be considered. One extraction method that has been developed is the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method. In this work, the effects of microwave power, material to solvent ratio, and the heating time on the extraction results and the pigment component of the extract were examined. A comparison of the time required for reflux extraction and Soxhlet was also made. In microwave extraction, the highest yield was obtained at optimum extraction conditions such as microwave power of 600 W, the ratio of material to solvent of 0.02 g/mL, extraction time of 30 min. While for reflux and soxhlet extraction, the extraction time needed to obtain optimum yield was 120 min and 720 min, respectively. Identification of compound components by the phytochemical test. Descriptions of the effects of microwave and conventional extraction are shown by damage to the surface structure of solid materials using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
Screening, characterization and identification of chemical components of typical Indonesian plants are important for the purpose of finding high potential chemical components in the use of primary sources of cosmetic, medicinal and food ingredients. The selection of the right extraction method and the appropriate type of solvent is very decisive in the acquisition of the target chemical components. The brand of this research focuses on the comparison of extraction between soxhletation and maceration methods in identifying the chemical components of Ketapang leaves (Terminalia Catappa). Sample preparation was carried out by selecting fresh, cleaned, dried and mashed Ketapang leaves. The extraction was carried out in two stages using two types of solvents, namely the first stage of extraction using ethanol. Obtained a dilute extract, then concentrated using a rotary evaporator. The second extraction used n-hexane as solvent. There are 4 kinds of extracts, each ethanol extract and n-hexane extract by applying the soxhletation and maceration method. The results obtained showed that: the application of the maceration method to the identification of chemical components of ketapang leaves gave relatively better separation results than the soxhletation method. The number of chemical components identified from the ethanol extract of ketapang leaves is ± 20 species which are dominated by fatty acid compounds. There are two groups of chemical compounds identified from ketapang leaves using n-hexane as solvent both in the application of soxhletation and maceration methods with high similarity 90%, namely 4 kinds of chemical components of the fatty acid group (tetradecanoic acid, Hexadecanoic, Octadecanoid, Octadeca-9,12 -Dienoite) and 2 kinds of aliphatic components (methyl cyclopentane, Tetraco Hexane)
A microwave-assisted extraction system was used to extract natural dyes from Coleus atropurpureus leaves. The effects of water solvent of the temperature at 100 o C and 80 o C as well as ethanol solvent 96% were investigated. This is done at the various material to solvent ratio (0.001, 0.0025, 0.005 g/mL) and microwave power (264, 400, 600 watt). The optimal conditions of the extraction were obtained on a water solvent of the temperature at 100 o C with material to solvent ratio 0.001 g/mL, irradiation power 400 watt, extraction time 10 min, material size 35-60 mesh, the optimum yield of 44.48%. Identification of groups of pigments contained in the Coleus atropurpureus leaves is known categories tannins and flavonoids. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used to identify the major chemical groups in the extracted dyes.
