Total Phenolic, Flavonoids, and Carotenoids Content and Anti- Obesity Activity of Purslane Herb (Portulaca oleracea L.) Ethanol Extract
Abstrak
Objective: The current study aims to determine total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC),
and total carotenoid content (TCC) of ethanolic extract of Purslane (Portulaca oleraceae L.). Material and
Method: Herb of Purslane (Portulaca oleraceae L.) was extracted using ethanol. Determination of total
flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), and total carotenoid content (TCC) The method used
spectrophotometer UV-VIS by the used standard curve to compare the total content by linear regression
calculation. Result: The results of this study demonstrated the TPC, TFC, and TCC value was 2.00 mg HE/g
DW, 0.53 mg EQ/g DW, 128 mg GAE/g DW, respectively. For anti-obesity, a 200 mg/kg BW sample group
had the greatest percentage decrease compared to the other groups (21.868%). Conclusion: This study
showed that Purslane is a good source of flavonoids, phenolic, and carotenoids. Meanwhile, the ethanol
extract of this plant has prospect potential as anti-obesity.
