Abstract

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is a plant rich in bioactive compounds and has significant potential for development in the pharmaceutical field as a natural antioxidant source and raw material for health related products. Secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids play an important role in providing biological activities; therefore, their identification is necessary to determine their pharmacological potential. However, scientific information regarding the profile of secondary metabolites in beetroot extract through phytochemical screening remains limited and requires further investigation. This study aimed to analyze the presence of secondary metabolites in beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) extract through qualitative phytochemical screening. The research employed a laboratory experimental method, with extraction carried out using the maceration technique for three days with 96% ethanol as the solvent. A total of 200 grams of beetroot simplicia were extracted to obtain a concentrated extract, which was subsequently subjected to phytochemical analysis. The screening included the identification of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, steroids-terpenoids, and betacyanin, conducted in triplicate with one blank sample. The results indicated that the beetroot extract positively contained all identified secondary metabolites, suggesting that beetroot has strong potential as a natural source of bioactive compounds and promising applications in the pharmaceutical field.

Abstract

Indonesia has a very large mangrove forest area, reaching nearly 3.5 million hectares or about 25% of the world’s total mangrove forests, with one of the dominant species being Rhizophora apiculata which grows in muddy tropical coastal areas. Plant extracts are a potential source of natural antimicrobial compounds because they contain various active substances with bacteriostatic properties that can be utilized as alternative therapies. This study aimed to identify the phytochemical metabolite compounds contained in mangrove leaf extract. The research design used in this study was a laboratory experimental design with a qualitative approach including the identification of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. The results of the study showed that the phytochemical screening carried out on the mangrove leaf extract indicated the presence of several secondary metabolites, namely flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which showed positive results in each test. These results conclude that mangrove leaf extract contains phytochemical metabolites including flavonoids, tannins, and saponins.
