Abstract

Based on data from the World Health Organization in 2020, the incidence of dysmenorrhea was 1,769,425 (90%) women who suffered from dysmenorrhea, with 10-16% suffering from severe dysmenorrhea. The problem of pain is very disruptive to activities, so prevention and treatment of pain must be a concern. Ginger is a natural ingredient that grows in South Kalimantan and is empirically used to treat pain. The study aimed to determine the analgesic effects and toxicity of red and white ginger from Banjarmasin and Banjar Regency. The nutrient content profile of the soil where the ginger grew was analyzed, and it was determined by nitrogen content, cation exchange capacity, and soil pH. The content of active compound groups was analyzed using specific reagents to determine the presence of active compounds. Determination of total phenolic levels using a colorimetric method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The instant ginger formula was optimized with organoleptic test result parameters. Acute toxicity tests using male Wistar rats with observations for 14 days. Analgesic tests were conducted on Mus musculus using the acetic acid writhing test. The results showed that the highest nitrogen (1,34%), cation exchange capacity (29.22 me/100 g), and soil pH levels (6,89) were in the soil where the ginger samples from Banjar Regency grew. The chemical compound content in all gingers contained the same phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids. The levels of marker compounds in succession from Banjarmasin red ginger, Banjarmasin white ginger, Banjar Regency red ginger, and Banjar Regency white ginger were 7.43%, 6.26%, 8.52%, and 7.12%, respectively. The results of formula optimization showed that all gingers had a sweet and spicy taste, a distinctive odor, powder form, and a reddish-brown color in red ginger and pale yellow in white ginger. The toxicity test results showed that at doses of 300 mg/Kg BW and 2000 mg/Kg BW, there was no toxic effect on the administration of ginger extract. Analgesic activity showed that all gingers had an analgesic effect at a dose of 200 mg/Kg BW. The analgesic effects from the strongest to the lowest were red ginger from Banjar Regency, red ginger from Banjarmasin, white ginger from Banjar Regency, and white ginger from Banjarmasin. This study concludes that red ginger from Banjar Regency has the most potent analgesic activity and no toxicity for all ginger.

Abstract

Limau kuit (Citrus hystrix) has been traditionally utilized for its therapeutic properties, particularly the antioxidant potential of its peel. Extraction is preferred for medicinal use, with solvent selection playing a critical role in determining the yield and concentration of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to assess the characteristics and antioxidant activity (IC₅₀ value) of Limau Kuit peel extract extracted with three different solvents. The research methods, starting with sample preparation, were carried out by drying Limau Kuit peel, then extraction using three different solvents: distilled water, ethanol 70%, and ethanol 96%. Extraction with distilled water solvent used the infusion method, while the ethanol solvent used the maceration method. The third extract was then characterized based on the parameters of percent yield, organoleptic testing, phytochemical screening, chromatography profile, and determination of total flavonoid levels. Antioxidant activity testing on the third extract using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The study results showed that the third extract had the same shape, color, aroma, taste, and compound content: flavonoids, phenolics, alkaloids, and terpenoids. The results of thin-layer chromatography also showed no difference in the third extract. The characteristic differences were found in the parameters of percent yield and total flavonoid content.  The highest total flavonoid content of Limau Kuit (Citrus hystrix) peel extract was obtained using 70% ethanol (11.47% w/w), followed by 96% ethanol (6.39% w/w), and distilled water (2.82% w/w). Antioxidant activity, evaluated using the IC₅₀ value as the parameter, showed that the 70% ethanol extract exhibited the strongest activity (21.26 ppm, very strong), followed by the 96% ethanol extract (31.87 ppm, very strong), and distilled water extract (70.91 ppm, strong). This study concludes that 70% ethanol is the most effective solvent for extracting antioxidant-rich compounds from Limau Kuit peel, supporting its potential use in herbal formulations.
