Abstract :
This research is based on shallot (Allium cepa L.) which has antibacterial
power against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The purpose of this study was to
determine the amount of flavonoid content contained in shallots and their activity
against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923. Shallots were dried, mashed and
extracted with 96% ethanol solvent using the maceration method. Qualitative test
of quercetin was carried out by using NaOH test, Wilstater cyanidin test and TLC
test. Quantitative analysis of flavonoids using visible spectrophotometry at a
wavelength of 430 nm with AlCl₃ complex-forming reagents. The operating time
of red onion extract was at 26 minutes. Bacterial inhibition was tested using the
disc diffusion method with concentrations of 10 mg/disc, 20 mg/disc, 40 mg/disc
and 80 mg/disc. The results of the qualitative test showed that the shallot extract
was positive for flavonoids. The average level of shallot flavonoids is 12,78%
w/w with a coefficient of variation of 0,38%. In this study, amoxicillin was used
as a positive control which is an antibiotic sensitive category because it has an
average clear zone of 18,19 mm and for onion extract, an average clear zone of
8,53 mm is formed; 8,95 mm; 11,37 mm and 14,24 mm.
