Anthocyanin compound have been successfully extracted from plantain bud (Musa x paradisiaca L) which can used as natural colorant and antioxidant. Anthocyanin compound was extracted using maceration method with solvent ethanol that has been acidified with acetic acid and citric acid until pH 1.5. The extract anthocyanin is identified by UV-Vis spectrophotometer (260-800 nm) and retrieved two peaks that are 277 nm (UV) and 533 nm (Visible). Further treatment is carried out with KCKT-DAD at a wavelength 516 nm. Anthocyanin treatment given temperature and pH. Total anthocyanin monomeric obtained for ethanol + acetic acid was 30.22 mg/L; ethanol + citric acid was 18.20 mg/L. The warming influence of the anthocyanin compound lead to degradation of color is highest for ethanol + acetic citric on temperature 100 o C with percentage degradation of 61.97 %. The antioxidant activity of the extract was measured by 1,1-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH) the result showed that the anthocyanin extracts from Plantain bud has antioxidant activity ethanol + acetic citric acid extract is very active as an antioxidant with IC 50 values of 3,74 mg/L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
