Abstract :
This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content of turmeric leaf
stew with boiling time variations.Turmeric leaf is a medicinal plant that has many
benefits and is easily found in Indonesia. Turmeric leaves contain bioactive
compounds, namely flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic which have many benefits,
one of which is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are compounds that can maintain
body immunity.
The method used in this research is the stew method with boiling time
variations, namely 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes. Quantitative
analysis of total flavonoid level determination of turmeric leaf stew with boiling
time variation using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 438.4 nm and
Operating Time 26 minutes.
Based on the results of the research, the determination of total flavonoid
levels, the variation in the time of boiling turmeric leaves, has obtained an average
boiling duration of 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes, namely
14,72mgQE/100ml, 16,415 mgQE/100ml, 18,479mgQE/100ml, dan
22,461mgQE/100ml and the highest total flavonoid levels were obtained at the
20th minute.
