Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) or Javanese turmeric is one of the medicine plants from Indonesia, which contains curcuminoid and xanthorrhizol. These compounds have large biological activity, such as antioxidant capacity. The location of this plant grows, affects the variance of the active compound which causes the changes in its activity. This study aims to evaluate antioxidant capacity, total phenolic, and total flavonoid content (TPC and TFC) of the sample collected from different markets, and to classify the samples into different culsters with chemometric techniques. The antioxidant capacity is determined by using DPPH radical scavenging assay, meanwhile, TPC and TFC are determined by Folin-Ciocalteu and AlCl3 method using Spectrophotometry UV/Vis. These data were used to analyze the samples with chemometric principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) to classify the samples into different clusters. Sample TL02 (Sambi Market, Kediri, East Java) has the highest phenolic-flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity. Clustering samples based on PCA and CA resulting in 3 clusters.
Indonesia is a rich country in terms of its biodiversity. Herbs that are widely used tomaintain a healthy body comes from the Zingiberaceae family, including temu mangga. Temu mangga(Curcuma mangga Val. & Zijp) is effective for relieving gastric pain, diarrhea, menstrual pain, acneand ulcers, and increasing appetite. Besides, temu mangga is considered to have antioxidant activitydue to the presence of the phenolic and flavonoid compounds. This study aims to determine thecorrelation and classification of temu mangga from various places based on total flavonoid contentand antioxidant activities. The samples were extracted with methanol, then tested for totalflavonoid content by AlCl3 method and antioxidant activity by DPPH free radical capture method.Analysis was performed using correlation coefficient value and chemometrics PCA (PrincipalComponent Analysis) and CA (Cluster Analysis) to see the relationship between total flavonoidcontent with their antioxidant activity and to see their classification. Total flavonoid content ofmethanolic extract of temu mangga gives a moderate correlation to its antioxidant activity with r =-0.6085 and clustering samples successfully determined by PCA and CA which resulted in 4 groups.Keywords: Curcuma mangga Val. & Zijp, Methanolic Extract, Flavonoid, Antioxidant, PCA, CA
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.
