Abstract
Study on toxicity test of n-hexane extract of mundar (Garcinia forbesii King) fruit skin has been conducted, By BSLT method. A. salina larvae used to determine LC50 value. The weight of n-hexane extract obtained was 20.69 g from 405.64 g of dried mundar fruit skin sample. The yield of n-hexane extract of mundar fruit skin was 5.10%. N-hexane extract of mundar fruit skin is very toxic, the LC50 value obtained was 9.753 ppm.
Highlights
The Garcinia genus has been known and used by the Indonesian people as a source of edible fruits and medicinal plants
Mangostana L.) is one of the species of the genus Garcinia that has been traditionally used by Indonesian people as a medicinal plant
The solvent was separated from the extract by the evaporation method using a rotary vacuum evaporator, the temperature was maintained at 40 ° C to obtain concentrated n-hexane extract from the mundar pericarp
Summary
The Garcinia genus has been known and used by the Indonesian people as a source of edible fruits and medicinal plants. Mangostana L.) is one of the species of the genus Garcinia that has been traditionally used by Indonesian people as a medicinal plant. The secondary metabolite compounds in the Garcinia genus include flavonoids, tannins and, saponins [3], which have bioactivity as antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory [4]. Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) is a simple bioassay method to explore active compounds or active extracts from secondary metabolites of natural substances from fungi, molds, herbs, higher plants and animals [9,10]. The potential of active compounds in mundar rind and its toxicity is unknown, research is needed to determine the toxicity level of N-hexane pericarp mundar extract using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT)
