Antioxidant Activity of Beruas Laut (Scaevola taccada)

Abstract

This study utilized beruas laut plant (Scaevola taccada) as a research material. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of S. taccada crude extract, especially on leaves and fruit extract. The highest levels of protein was found in the Scaevola taccada leaf (8.806%), the highest fat was found in the leaf (1.822%), the highest water was found in leaf (11.376%), the highest ash content was found in the leaf (14,78%) and the highest carbohydrates content was found in fruit (82.52%). Phytochemical analysis detected flavonoids, tannins, and steroid in the (S. taccada). Antioxidant analysis obtained IC50 values of chloroform leaf extract was 0.1944, methanol leaf extract was 0.1034, chloroform fruit extract was 0.464, and IC50 values of methanol fruit extract was 0.653.

Antibacterial Activity of Sea Leaf Extracts (Scaevola Taccada) Against Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli

“…Swept Leaf this sea has leaf color shiny green and yellowish, and the fruit is milky white when it is old and dark green when it is young. The flowers are white with five petals [1] Leaves of Scaevola taccada which were taken as samples and then observed for their characteristics and morphology. Leaves of Scaevola taccada , both old and young, which were collected at the study site were used as samples.…”

“…In developing countries, such as Indonesia, infectious diseases are the main cause of death. Microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites, can cause infections [10].Research findings reveal that Scaevola taccada leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, and steroids [ [ 1] . A number of studies have shown that these compounds have antibacterial activity.…”
