Abstract

This study is motivated by the limited research on phytochemical screening of combined medicinal plant extracts, despite the significant potential of this approach in developing more effective and efficient herbal medicines. The objective of this research is to explore the presence of secondary metabolites in a combination extract of kecibeling leaves (Strobilanthes crispa (L.) Blume) and papaya leaves (Carica papaya L.). A qualitative method was employed, with leaf samples purposively collected from the Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. Data were obtained through phytochemical screening tests using specific reagents to detect alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, phenolics, triterpenoids, and steroids, and were analyzed descriptively. The results revealed that the combined extract contained saponins, flavonoids, tannins, phenolics, and triterpenoids, while alkaloids and steroids were not detected. These findings support the theory of possible synergistic effects among secondary metabolites in combined extracts, particularly in enhancing the presence of compounds such as tannins that were not identified in single extracts. The study concludes that combining plant extracts can enrich the phytochemical profile. Its implications include contributing to the scientific literature on the potential of local plants and offering practical recommendations for researchers and the herbal industry to consider combination formulations in the development of natural medicinal products. Furthermore, this research opens opportunities for follow-up studies on the pharmacological activity and toxicity of the combined extracts.

Abstract

The limited number of studies on the synergistic antioxidant potential of combined extracts from Kecibeling leaves (Strobilanthes crispa (L.) Blume) and Papaya leaves (Carica papaya L.) forms the basis of this research, despite its significant implications for the development of safe natural antioxidant products. This study aims to determine the total phenolic content and evaluate the antioxidant activity of various combination ratios of Kecibeling and Papaya leaf extracts. A quantitative experimental approach was employed, using maceration extraction with 96% ethanol as the solvent. Data were obtained through the Folin–Ciocalteu assay to determine total phenolic content and the DPPH method to assess antioxidant activity, analyzed via spectrophotometry and linear regression to calculate IC₅₀ values. The results show that the 75:25 ratio (Kecibeling:Papaya) yielded the highest total phenolic content at 71.35 mg GAE/g and exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 62.02 µg/mL, categorized as a strong antioxidant. These findings support the theory that combining phenolic compounds from different plant sources can enhance their biological activity. Thus, the combination of Kecibeling and Papaya leaf extracts proved superior to single extracts in terms of antioxidant efficacy. The implications of this study include contributions to the literature on phytochemical synergy and practical recommendations for the herbal and functional food industries in formulating natural ingredient combinations.
