The Temperature Effect of Madeira Vine (Anredera Cordifolia) Leaf Oil Extraction and Its Characterization as An Additive in Health Supplement Product

Abstract

The immune system is one of the most important things that need to be preserved in the midst of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. Consuming the components of the compounds contained in Madeira vine (Binahong) leaf oil in the right and regular doses can be one way to enhance the immune system. This oil can be obtained by carrying out the extraction process with the reflux method on Madeira vine leaf. This study aimed to determine the optimal time and temperature of Madeira vine leaf oil extraction process. The extraction process was carried out at 40, 50, and 60 °C for 90, 100, and 110 minutes. Madeira vine leaf oil obtained was analyzed for its density, solubility in ethanol, and chemical compounds. The results showed that the highest yield (62.45% w/w) was achieved using optimal temperature of 60 °C and time of 110 minutes. The density of the oil obtained ranges from 0.786-0.812 gr/ml. Analysis using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry (GCMS) showed that the resulting extract contained several components namely Neophytadiene; 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl (phytol); Hexadecanoic Acid, methyl ester (methyl palmitate); 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z), methyl ester (methyl linoleate); 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z), methyl ester (methyl oleate); 9-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester;and Octadecanoic acid, methyl ester (Stearic acid).

Steric Effect of Alcohol Solvent on Ternary Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium for β-Caryophyllene + Alcohol + Water Systems at 303.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure

“…The instrument consists of an electronic unit separated from the stainless-steel measuring unit. A sample volume of 0.3 ml is sufficient for measuring process [7,9]. The refractometer is equipped with a Peltier thermostat allowing measurement of refractive index at any selected temperature up to 80 °C.…”

“…This is because the selling price of ethanol as a beverage is higher than that of ethanol as a solvent. In addition to the type of solvent, another influential factor is time, where a short time during extraction will produce a small yield and a long time will consume a lot of energy, so the extraction will not be effective [7]. Therefore, research continues to identify other types of alcohols that have a lower risk of deviation.…”

Effect of Solvent Type and Extraction Time on Binahong Leaf Extraction Process

“…The amino compound also shows antimicrobial activity [25]. Phytol components can stimulate insulin secretion by pancreatic cells and lower blood glucose, so it can be concluded that binahong leaf oil is also antiglycemic [26].…”
