The Characterization of Ficus lyrata Warb Fruit Extract and the Effect on Toxicity, Physicochemical, and Microbiology Properties of Chicken Carcass

Abstract

The use of plant extraction as natural and safe preservatives, have been highly recommended for the improvement of the microbiological and sensory quality of food. In the present investigation, the dried fruit of Ficus lyrata Warb was subjected to bio preservative to chicken carcass. This study aimed to characterize the ethyl acetate extract on the phytochemical compound, antioxidant activity, antibacterial activity, to determine the toxicity of the extraction with lethal dose (LD 50) value and to study the application of the extract as chicken carcass preservative. The result showed that the fruit extract has phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins. Gas Chromatography Analysis resulted that the extract contains catechin, luteolin-6.8-C-diglukoside and Orientin. DPPH and clear zone analysis showed that the extract has a high of antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The acute toxicity analyzes showed that the extract of Ficus lyrata Warb fruit has not the LD 50 below the concentration of 15000 mg/kg weight, that means the extract was practically non-toxic material. The application of extract to chicken carcass preservation had resulted the pH of carcass in the range 5.51-5.98 and decreased the temperature from 26 to 24 o C and effected to inhibit of chicken carcass decay for 2 hours. The extract of F. lyrata Warb fruit also inhibited the bacterial growth until 2.4 x 10 6 CFU/g within the 12 hours of storage and increased the tenderness of carcass to 0.6 N. Based on the observed characteristics, it was obtained that the use fruit extract as a natural preservative can extend the shelf life of fresh chicken carcasses.

“…Awan et al (2018) melakukan percobaan menggunakan ekstrak buah F. carica untuk fungsi proteksi jantung terhadap agen-agen kardiotoksik. Wira et al (2020) melakukan uji toksisitas ekstrak buah F. lyrata dalam rangka penggunaannya sebagai antibakteri untuk pengawetan daging ayam. Hingga saat ini kami belum menemukan publikasi mengenai kajian toksisitas maupun penelitian tentang pemanfaatan ekstrak F. hispida.…”

Antibacterial Activity of Extracts Derived from Leaves of Ficus lyrata Warb. and its Cultivar Bambino against Some Fish Bacterial Strains

“…Ficus lyrata Warb., commonly known as the fiddle leaf fig, is a species of the Moraceae family known for its ornamental value (Fang et al, 2007). However, beyond its aesthetic appeal, F. lyrata has also been recognised for its potential medicinal properties, including antimicrobial and antioxidant activities (Rizvi et al, 2009;Pękala-Safińska et al, 2019;Wira et al, 2020). Seraia et al (2008) showed that F. lyrata has gas-absorbing and phytoncide properties that can be used to improve the sanitary properties of indoor air.…”

“…The roots, bark and stems contain flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic and tannins, while the fruits and leaf extract of F. lyrata has large quantity of phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids and triterpenoids (Zhang et al, 2019). Several studies has shown the presence of phenolic acid conjugates (Ocaffeoyl quinic acid, and gentisic acid) and flavonoids (apigenin and leutolin C glycosides) in significant concentration (Wahyudha et al, 2020). F. lyrata is traditionally used to treat many disorders such as gastrointestinal problems, anthelmintic, diabetes, antitumor activity, asthma, astringent, bleeding, bone fracture, antiseptic, cough, sexual disorders, ear-ache and toothache, migraine, eye troubles, scabies, gonorrhea, paralysis and anti-diarrhea (Haider and Zhong, 2014).…”
