AKTIVITAS ANTIOKSIDAN DAN TABIR SURYA PADA EKSTRAK KULIT BUAH PISANG GOROHO (Musa acuminate L.)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the value of the antioxidant activity and the value of sunscreen on the skin extracts goroho banana (Musa acuminate L.) . Goroho banana skin cut into small pieces , then blended with distilled water and squeezed to remove the sap . Extraction method reflux for 2 hours using methanol , ethanol and acetone . Analysis of total phenolic content , flavonoids and tannins , the determination of the activity of free radical scavengers using DPPH (1,1 - diphenyl - 2 - picrylhidrazil) and rat tissue homogenates method , sunscreen effectiveness by determining the SPF value with spectrophotometric method . The results of this study indicate that goroho banana peel extract contains phenolic compounds , flavonoids and tannins . Ethanol extract has antioxidant activity values ​​are the highest of 75.71 % , 74.29 % followed by methanol extract and acetone extract 73.37 % . The results of the calculation of the highest SPF values ​​are also present in the ethanol extract followed by methanol and acetone .
