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

Chemistry is a subject that students tend to dislike. Student learning outcomes are still low due to the lack of student interest in learning which is caused by the lack of media used for learning both at home and at school. To overcome this deficiency, interesting learning media is needed as a complement to learning resources that students can use anywhere and anytime, one of which is Android-based mobile learning media. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of using Android-based mobile learning chemistry learning media to increase students' interest in learning chemistry on the topic of buffer solutions. This type of research is Quasi Experimental Design in the form of Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The subjects of this research were students of class XI MIPA 1 and XI MIPA 2 at SMAN 3 Mataram, totaling 58 students. Data collection techniques include interviews and questionnaires. The data analysis used was N-gain score analysis as well as normality, homogeneity and t-tests. The research results showed that the N-gain for the experimental class was 0.618 with medium criteria (effective) while the control class obtained 0.299 with low criteria (not effective). Normality and homogeneity tests showed that the N-gain data was normally and homogeneously distributed. The results of the t-test at the 5% significance level were obtained a significance value showing 0,000 < 0,05. These results indicate that the use of mobile learning media is effective in increasing students' interest in learning chemistry on the topic of buffer solutions.
