The drying method is the most important step in maintaining levels active compound in the sample. This study aims to determine the effect drying method against levels of active compounds of grinting grass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.). Drying methods include sun drying and cabinet drayer. The results showed that the drying method in plants reduced the extractive gain from the levels of active compounds including flavonoids, polyphenols, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids and saonins. Simplicia drying method gave a significant effect (p<0.05) on the extraction of the active compound content of grinting grass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.). Based on the two drying methods, the highest levels of active compound extractive were obtained in the cabinet drayer method compared to the drying method using sunlight.
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.
