Abstract

There has been elucidated the antioxidant activities of chloroform and aqueous fract ions of methanol extracts isolated from dischidia nummularia. The study was firstly started by maceration of dischidia nummularia powder in certain quantity of pure methanol solvent and followed by gradual partition of the methanol extract with chloroform and distillated water and then purified with column chromatography. The chemical contents migrated into both those later solvents were detected by GC-MS and their functional groups were detected by FT-IR instruments. Thereafter, the antioxidant activities of the migrated compounds in each those solvents were determined using hydrogen peroxide protocol and the absorbance was read at 240 nm. The ascorbic acid solution was used as control. The results showed that GCMS spectrum indicated the phenol compounds only that are existed within the chloroform and the aqueous fractions of the extract. Furthermore, the FT-IR spectrum showed methylene and ethene groups are existed within those phenol compounds as well as the hydroxyl, carbonyl, aromatic, and keton groups. The average absorbances of compounds contained within the chloroform and aqueous fractions were 0.275 and 0.189, respectively, whereas that of the control was 0.085. Those absorbance data conclusively indicated that higher absorbance higher residue of chromophore content existed within the fraction and higher failures of hydroxylation reactions. Overall, the antioxidant behaviors of the aqueous and chloroform fractions of the dischidia nummularia methanol extracts are contributed by the phenol compounds and the activities of their aqueous fractions are higher than those of the chloroform fractions.

Abstract

The study of isolation and characterization of terpenoids in methanol extract from the stem bark of Grewia eriocarpa Juss has been conducted. The aims of the research were to know the kind of secondary metabolites, to isolate and characterize terpenoids contained in methanol extract from the stem bark of Grewia eriocarpa Juss. Maceration from 1500 gram of the stem bark powder used methanol as solvent gave 275 gram extract and there was further partitioned with petroleum ether, chloroform and water. The results of phytochemical test showed that the sample was positive for saponin, terpenoid, flavonoid and tannin. Methanol-water extract was separated with column chromathography by n-hexane:etyl acetat (1:3) as eluent and gave 6 groups of fraction. FT-IR analysis results for C fraction indicated several functional group namely OH, C=O, COOH, C-H aromatic, C=C, N-H . Based on the data of mass spectra could be estimated that the 15, 18, 20 and 27 peaks were sesquiterpenoid and the 43 peak was dyterpenoid.

Abstract

The research about isolation and characterization of cinnamaldehyde compund that implied in skin steam of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii) was done. Isolation method that used in this research is steam distillation. Cinnamon oil that result from steam skin of cinnamon in this research was 1,2 g (0,012 %). Cinnamon oil then isollated with slim chromatographic method using eluen-n hexane and ethanol with comparison 9:1, 7:3, and 1:1. Characterization cinnamon oil using Infrared spectrophotometer (IR) analysis and Gas Chromatographic- Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The analyzed result of Infrared spectrophotometer (IR) is giving absorbtion at range 1730,03 cm-1 that be character of aldehida as basic design cinnamaldehyde, while the result of GC analyzed is getting cinamaldehyde concentration 2,37%.

The chemical contents migrated into both those later solvents were detected by GC-MS and their functional groups were detected by FT-IR instruments. Thereafter, the antioxidant activities of the migrated compounds in each those solvents were determined using hydrogen peroxide protocol and the absorbance was measured at 240 nm. The ascorbic acid solution was used as control. The results showed that FT-IR spectrum showed methylene and ethene groups are existed within the compounds contained by the extracts as well as the hydroxyl, carbonyl, aromatic, and keton groups. Furthermore, the GC-MS spectrum indicated the compounds that are existed within the chloroform and the aqueous fractions of the extract. The average absorbances of compounds contained within the chloroform and aqueous fractions were 0.161 and 0.112, respectively, whereas that of the control was 0.085. Those absorbance data conclusively indicated that higher absorbance higher residue of chromophore content existed within the fraction and higher failures of hydroxylation reactions. It was however, the antioxidant activities of the aqueous fractions were higher than those of the chloroform fractions.

Abstract

There have been studied the antibacterial activities of ranting patah tulang (euphorbia tirucalli) extracts against the growth of salmonella thyposa (gram negative) bacteria. The study was firstly started to isolate the antibacterial components of euphorbia tirucalli that was soluble in methanol. Thereafter, the methanol solvent was evaporated to yield powder and the powder was used to prepare the extract concentrations in each petri dish as of following levels that were 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 50.0, 80.0, and 100.0 %, respectively. The 0.0 % of euphorbia tirucalli extracts and 1.0 % of erythromycin in each petri dish served as the controls. The results showed that the clear zone of petri dish containing the bacteria and each those extracts were 36.7±5.8, 40.0±10.0, 43.3±5.8, 60.0±10.0, 66.7±5.0, 70.0±10.0, and 76.7±5.8 mm, respectively. The clear zone of both those controls containing the bacteria were 63.3±5.8 mm. Those results indicate that higher extract concentration higher the clear zone area of the petri dish. Therefore, the euphorbia tirucalli extract potentially inhibits the growth of the salmonella thyposa (gram negative) bacteria.
