Bioactive Compound and Antioxidant Activity of Methanol Extract Mauli Bananas (Musa sp) Stem

Abstract

Abstract-Banana is one of the most widely distributed and consumed fruit in tropical and subtropical countries. Considering to nutritional aspects, it is one of the worlds leading food crops with a high source of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenolic compounds etc. The current study was performed to evaluate the bioactive compound and antioxidant activity in Mauli Bananas (Musa sp) stem. Mauli bananas stem exctract contain a biocative compound with tannin has a highest level and followed by ascorbic acid, saponin, -carotene, total flavonoid, lycopene, alkaloid and flavonoid. The chellating effect of ferrous iron in Mauli bananas stem had a highest antioxidant activity than hydroxyl scavenging activity and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The data obtained Mauli bananas stem contained a lot of biocative compound and also have moderate to potent antioxidant and/or free radical scavenging activity.Index Terms-Antioxidant, antioxidant activity, Mauli bananas, musa sp.

The Toxicity of Mauli Banana (Musa Acuminata) Stem Water Extract on Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Vitro

“…The high yield found in methanol solvent showed that this solvent can extract more bioactive components with higher polarity. Mauli banana stem extract has the highest content of tannin having a polar property [7,10]. Mauli banana stem extract using methanol solvent can extract more bioactive tannin component compared to water solvent.…”

“…Mauli banana stem extract has antioxidant properties, so it can decrease ROS [7,8]. ROS are secondary messengers in the intracellular signaling pathway, which regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis [9].…”

“…Mauli banana stem extract has the highest bioactive content of tannin (67.59%), followed by saponin (14.49%), alkaloid (3.44%), ascorbic acid (0.44%), flavonoid (0.25%), and lycopene (0.006%) [7]. Mauli banana stem extract is an antioxidant with the activity to bind heavy metal iron, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl to decrease reactive oxygen species (ROS) [7,8]. ROS are secondary messengers in the intracellular signaling pathway, which regulates cell proliferation [9].…”

“…Mauli banana stem extract has the highest content of tannin having a polar property, so it can be dissolved in glycerol, alcohol, water, and acetone [7,10]. Carabelly et al [11] proved that methanol extract of Mauli banana stem is toxic toward MSC.…”

“…Saponin merupakan senyawa aktif yang memiliki kemampuan untuk merusak permeabilitas membran sehingga menyebabkan dinding sel bakteri menjadi hancur (Vieira et al, 2001). Tanin merupakan suatu senyawa yang memiliki sifat antibakterial dan antioksidan, pada konsentrasi rendah dapat menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri dan konsentrasi tinggi dapat menghambat pertumbuhan jamur (Apriasari et al, 2013). Tanin merupakan komponen zat organik yang sangat kompleks, terdiri dari senyawa fenolik yang sukar dipisahkan dan sukar mengkristal, mengendapkan protein dari larutannya dan bersenyawa dengan protein tersebut (Desmiaty et al, 2008).…”
