Based on the
fluorescent intensity on TLC, total phenolic content,
tannin content, and flavonoid
content, extract of Sn1, Sn2, S1 and S3 were selected to determine the kaempferol and quercetin
content using HPLC. Selected extracts have high fluorescent intensity, low tannin and phenols content
and high flavonoids content. Table 2 shows that the highest kaempferol content was found in extract
of S1, while the highest quercetin content was found in Sn1 extract. Kaempferol content of the extract
Sn1 is only small different with the S1, but has much higher LC
50
value. Extract Sn1 had LC
50
values
of 41.21 ppm, whereas S1 extracts 1340.81 ppm. So Sn1 extract is considered better because it has a
lower LC
50
value. The results showed that the guava leaf sonication using methanol-water (85:15)
directly from the sample was the best extraction techniques for the
isolation of kaempferol and
quercetin in guava leaves. The kaempferol and quercetin content on guava leaf extract with the Tang
et al (2001) methods on this study is higher (0.04 mg/g sample and 4.30 mg/g sample respectively)
compared with
Ginko biloba leaf extracts reported by Tang et al
[12].
4. Conclusion
Best extraction techniques to isolate kaempferol and quercetin from guava leaves are sonication using
methanol-water (85:15) with a content of 0.02% by kaempferol and quercetin at 2:15%. This
technique had yield about 20.05% and BSLT LD50 of 41.21ppm.
