Abstract
Introduction Trigona honey (Tetragonula biroi) is a type of honey produced by stingless bees that is one ofthe local products in South Sulawesi with the Tetragonula species widely known to the public. Objective Thisstudy was to determine the nutritional content of trigona honey and components of its secondary metabolitecompounds as herbal therapy for the disease. Method This study aims to analyze the content of bioactivecompounds of trigona honey is using phytochemical test and proximate test method. Result Phytochemicaltest show trigona honey had bioactive compounds flavonoid, alkaloid and triterpenoid. Proximate test usingthin-layer chromatography (TLC) showed that methanol extract of honey trigona (tetragonula biroi) containsvitamin C 0.15%, flavonoids 159.62 ppm, polyphenols 133.52 ppm, and there are magnesium, calcium,zinc and beta carotene. Conclusion Trigona honey contains metabolite compounds such as polyphenols,flavonoids, alkaloids, and triterpenoids.
