Abstract

Ficus racemosa Linn. is a native Indonesian plant known as the ara plant in Lombok or Elo in East Java. The fruit has a fragrant aroma, soft texture, mild sweet taste and a little sour. Presence of ara (Ficus racemosa Linn.) is mostly known as one of the plants whose fruit can only be eaten and used as a medicine for diarrhea, but the compounds contained in ara are not yet known, so research is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the secondary metabolit content of ara fruit extract and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Ara fruit was extracted by maceration method using methanol solvent. The results of the phytochemical screening showed that the ara fruit extract contained secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, steroids, saponins and tannins. Antioxidant activity (IC50) extract of ara with various concentrations of 25; 50; 75; 100; and 125 ppm soul a value of 65.042 ppm. Based on the results of antioxidant activity, it can be seen that ara fruit extract is classified as a strong antioxidant.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the potential of ethanol extract of elo fruit (Ficus racemosa L.) as a photo-aging lotion preparation. Photo aging preventive lotion formulation was made in 5 variations. Each formulation was tested for characterization of physical properties in the form of pH test, diameter of spreadability, homogeneity, and stability through 3 cycles. Ethanol extract of elo fruit was obtained using a simple maceration method in 96% ethanol solvent. Based on the results of the qualitative phytochemical test, the ethanol extract of elo fruit contains flavonoid and tannin compounds. The pH test results show that the lotion formulation has a range of 7.27 - 7.65. The results of the diameter of spreadability using a weight of 200 g, 400 g, and 600 g obtained a diameter in the range of 2.16 cm - 3.70 cm. Each lotion formulation has good homogeneity. The results of the stability test against 4oC and room temperature showed no changes in aroma, color, and texture that occurred in each lotion formulation F1 - F5.

Abstract

Ficus racemosa, also known as the fig plant, is renowned for its diverse medicinal properties. In light of this, our research aims to study the phytochemical compounds present in several extracts of fruits and barks of Ficus racemosa, as well as the antioxidant activity explored in the gradual solvent polarities (methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane). The dried fruit and bark of Ficus racemosa were utilized, and extraction was obtained through successive extraction at room temperature following the cold maceration technique. Preliminary phytochemical screening of fruit and bark extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins. The extracts were subjected to antioxidant activities by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Antioxidant capacity revealed the IC50 value of the methanol and ethyl acetate fruit extract of Ficus racemosa, which offered a strong capacity of 67.114 μg/mL and 69.149 μg/mL. These results indicate that the crude extract from Ficus racemosa fruit could serve as a candidate for a natural antioxidant against free radicals.
