Determination of flavonoid content of ethanol and ethyl acetate extract from purple passion fruit peel

Abstract

Purple passion fruit is a fruit that is widely cultivated in Indonesia for syrup and juice making. Purple passion fruit has a high nutritional value, such as antioxidants. Passion fruit contains vitamin A, vitamin C, β-carotene, flavonoid, and fiber components. However, passion fruit peel is a waste that can not be appropriately facilitated, so it becomes a waste that can pollute the environment. In addition, the passion fruit peel contains flavonoids that can be used as antidiabetic drugs. This study aimed to determine the difference in flavonoid levels in the peel extract of purple passion fruit by using ethanol and ethyl acetate solvents. The total flavonoid test using the AlCl3 method is then read on a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed total flavonoid levels of passion fruit peel extract with ethanol and ethyl acetate solvents of 15.01 mg QE/g samples and 1.27 mg QE/g extract. The highest total flavonoid levels were obtained in ethanol extract of 15.01 mg QE/g extract.

Antioxidant potential of gotu kola leaf extract (Centella asiatica (L.) Urban) as an alternative to antihyperglycemic herbal drinks

“…The antioxidant activity of Gotu kola will complement the body's defense system to ward off free radicals to limit the damage that occurs. The antioxidant defense system works by interacting directly with free radicals to prevent the formation of reactive oxygen compounds or changing reactive compounds to be less reactive [21][22][23][24].…”

“…2). quercetin was used as a positive control [32]. Serial concentrations of quercetin (range between 5 -40 µg/mL) were prepared.…”

Imperfection method based on optical fiber for alcohol content detection sensor

“…These sensors can measure physical changes such as refractive index, temperature, glucose, pH, heart rate, crack, electric current, force, strain, displacement, and pressure. Developing sensors with simple, reliable, and lowcost modifications has attracted many researchers to propose innovations in measurement systems, especially in measuring alcohol content [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
