Pengaruh Rasio Massa Dengan Pelarut Dan 6 Ukuran Terhadap Kadar Crude Flavonoid Dari Daun Pepaya
ABSTRACT
Papaya leaves (Carica papaya L) have long been used by Indonesians for food and
medicine. Papaya leaves have been reported to have several benefits, namely antitumor,
dengue fever, and have antioxidant properties. The antioxidants in papaya
leaves can be obtained from the flavonoid compounds contained in the leaves. This
study aims to determine the levels of flavonoids extracted from papaya leaves.
Samples were extracted using the soxhletation method with 95% ethanol solvent,
the variables used were mass to solvent ratio (1: 8, 1:10 and 1:12) and the size of
papaya leaves (12, 16, 30 mesh) to analyze the effect of these variations on levels
of flavonoids produced. Determination of flavonoid crude oil content was carried
out by the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method measured at a wavelength of 420 nm,
with a standard solution of quercetin (QE) comparison. The results of the research
on the variation of the mass ratio with the solvent 1:12 and the size of 30 mesh
showed that the highest levels of flavonoids obtained were 32.57%. So that papaya
leaves can be used as a plant that produces flavonoids in large enough quantities.
