Total Flavonoid Content Test Of N-Hexane Fraction Of Leaf Of Rubbish Kebo (Ficus Elastica Roxb Ex.Hornem) Using Uv-Vis Spectrophotometric Method

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Kebo rubber plant (Ficus elastica roxb ex.hornem) is a plant that has been known to contain flavonoid compounds that can be used as traditional medicine. This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content of the n-hexane fraction of the rubber kebo leaves (Ficus elastica roxb ex.hornem) and what compounds are contained therein. The extraction process in this study used the maceration method and then fractionated. The 70% ethanol extract was fractionated with n-hexane solvent and carried out qualitative phytochemical identification then tested the total flavonoid levels using the UV-Vis Spectrophotometric method at a wavelength of 430 nm, as a comparison used quercetin standards. The results of phytochemical identification were secondary compounds of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and tannins. In the n-hexane fraction of rubber kebo leaves, the total flavonoid content was 13.711 ± 1.111%. The n-hexane fraction of rubber kebo leaves contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and tannins. The n-hexane fraction of kebo rubber leaves contained a total flavonoid content of 13.711 ± 1.111%.
