Abstract :
The liver is an organ that functions to neutralize toxic substances, and is
the target of an increase in free radicals. In counteracting free radicals the body
needs antioxidants, one of the secondary metabolic products of plants that can be
used as antioxidants is anthocyanin which is an organic compound from the
water-soluble flavonoid family which gives red, blue, violet colors. Fermentation
can increase anthocyanin levels in kidney beans. This study aims to determine the
presence of anthocyanins in red bean tempeh (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) which can be
used as a hepatoprotector agent and to determine anthocyanin levels in red bean
tempeh (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Qualitative analysis using HCl and NaOH with
positive results characterized by a change in color to a steady red then turn bluish
green then fade. Determination of total anthocyanin levels was carried out using
the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method with the principle of anthocyanin pH
difference expressed in mg / 100gram samples at a maximum wavelength of 525.5
nm. The results obtained an average anthocyanin level of 40.37 mg / 100gram
with a coefficient of variation of 0.325%.
