Abstract
— Isolation and identification of active compounds from mentawak fruit (Artocarpus Anisophyllus) used a plant determination test to determine the plant content. Furthermore, the extraction process was carried out to obtain a crude extract of carotenoid pigments by maceration method using n-hexane as solvent. Furthermore, the obtained macerate was carried out by phytochemical tests to determine the content of the active compounds. The TLC test was carried out to confirm the presence of a positive group of compounds on phytochemical screening, and to determine the chromatographic profile of the extract. The identification results showed that the phytochemicals showed that the active compounds contained in macerate were alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and saponins. The KLT test results obtained an Rf value of 0.875. While the total carotenoid content using a spectrophotometer UV-Vis is 958 µg/ml.
Highlights
Indonesia is one of the countries that has the largest flora population in the world
Plants contain primary metabolites such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats which are used by the plant itself for growth and secondary metabolites such as phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, coumarins, and alkaloids which generally have bioactivity capabilities and function as plant protectors from pests disease for the plant itself or the environment
Carotenoids are produced from isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) components which undergo a gradual process to form various types of carotenoids
Summary
Indonesia is one of the countries that has the largest flora population in the world. The population of this study was the fruit of the Entawak which was obtained in the Sekayam District, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. The sample in this study was the extract of the Entawak fruit.
