Abstract

This study aims to screen antioxidant compounds from the renggak plant (Amomum dealbatum R.). Screening of phytochemicals was carried out on the leaves and peel of the renggak fruit by the extraction method using ethanol and methanol solvents. Extraction was carried out by maceration, and the antioxidant potential test was carried out by measuring the extract's scavenging activity against DPPH radicals. In the fruit peel, both ethanol and methanol extracts tested positive for all phytochemicals, while in the leaves, ethanol extract was positive only for tannins and alkaloids, and methanol extract for flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and alkaloids. The difference in results was caused by differences in solvent polarity. The results of the antioxidant test showed that the leaf extract had an IC₅₀ value of 44.31 µM, while the fruit peel extract had an IC₅₀ value of 144.57 µM. The lower IC₅₀ value in the leaf extract indicates that the bioactive compounds contained therein have higher antioxidant potential than the fruit peel, as they can inhibit 50% of free radical activity at lower concentrations. The results of this study provide additional phytochemical and antioxidant sources from plant sources, for use as raw materials in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the chemical concepts contained in the process of making coconut oil, then the results of the identification and documentation are compiled into a chemistry magazine for senior high schools. The process of making coconut oil is done by two methods, namely heating/traditional and fermentation. The preparation of a chemical magazine is carried out using the method according to Borg & Gall which is simplified into five stages, namely preliminary studies, planning, initial product development, field implementation tests, and product finalization. There are several chemical concepts related to the process of making coconut oil, namely macromolecules, mixture separation, boiling point elevation, and colloids. Magazine feasibility testing is done by validating and analyzing student responses. The results showed that the magazine developed was very valid with an average value of V on the components of graphics, content feasibility, presentation feasibility, and magazine language respectively 0.92, 0.91, 0.96, and 0.88. The results of the student response analysis show that the developed magazine is very feasible with an average percentage of 90%.
