spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 765 nm. The total phenol content of samples is determined using
a regression equation of standard gallic acid.
2.3. Tannin Content Determination
Extract of 0.5 g was dissolved in DMSO, added to 10 ml of distilled water and heated at a temperature
of 40-60 ° C for 30 minutes. The solution was filtered and diluted with distilled water until 50 mL and
5 mL of the solution was then added by 5 mL indigo carmine. The solution was subsequently titrated
with 0.1 N KMnO
4
.
2.4. Total Flavonoid Content Determination
The extracts about 200 mg was added with 1 mL hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) 0.5%, 20 mL
acetone, and 2 ml of HCl. The mixture was hydrolyzed by refluxed for 30 minutes. The result was
filtered and added with acetone to 100 ml. About 20 mL of solution was added to 20 ml of water and
15 ml ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate fraction was collected in a 50 mL volumetric flask. Extraction was
repeated by adding 10 mL ethyl acetate. The total ethyl acetate fraction was added with ethyl acetate
until 50 ml. Furthermore, 10 ml of the mixture was added to 1 mL of 2% AlCl
3
and 5% glacial acetic
acid in methanol. The mixture was homogenized and allowed to stand 15-30 minutes. The absorbance
value at a wavelength of 425 nm was measured with
a UV-VIS spectrophotometer
2.5. Brine Shrimp Lethality Test
Ten larvae of
Artemia salina were added to 1 mL extract with varying concentrations of 200-14000
g/ml. Control without the addition of extract was used as negative control. After 1 day (24 hours) the
number of dead shrimp larvae was determined and the LC
50
value was determined by probit analysis.
2.6. Thin Layer Chromatography Profile
Each extract was analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography
on silica gel G
60
F
254
and
n-hexane:ethyl
acetate (2:98) as eluent. The detection was observed in the UV lamp 254 and 366 nm. An extract
containing a fluorescent and Rf value the same with kaempferol and quercetin standards will be
analyzed further.
2.7. Kaempferol and Quercetin Content Determination
About 30 mg of each extract was added to 2 ml of HCl 4 M, shaken and heated for 30 minutes and
extracted by 2 mL ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate fractions were separated and rinsed with 1 mL ethyl
acetate 2 times. The collected ethyl acetate fraction evaporated and diluted with methanol till 10 ml.
Standard solutions and the sample were then filtered with 0:45 micro μm membrane and 20
l was
injected in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for analysis.
HPLC Conditions used is C18 column, UV detector at λ 370 nm, oven temperature 30 ° C, mobile
phase acetonitrile 30% in KH
2
PO
4
0.025 M buffer pH 2.5 with isocratic elution, and flow rate of 1 ml /
min
14
. The kaempferol and quercetin content were determined by comparing the peak area with the
peak area of standards.
2.8. Statistical analysis
All data obtained were analyzed using the analysis of variance at 95% confidence level (p<0.05) using
the Duncan’s test with SPSS 16.
