Determination of Phenolicand FlavonoidContents of Ethanolic Extractof Kanunang Leaves (Cordiamyxa L.).

Abstract: Cordia myxa L. (C. myxa) leaves is included in family Boraginaceae which has been used as traditional medicine in Indonesia. This study aims to determine of total phenolic and flavonoid content of Kanunang leaves extract (C. myxa). They were extracted by maceration method with ethanol 70%. The level of phenolic and flavonoid content were determined by spectrophotometer UV-Vis with gallic acid and rutin as standard. It were obtained 25 gram extract from extracting 1380,00 gram powdered leaves, the rendament shows 7,14%. Determination of phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteau method shows 8,45% GAE (Gallic acid equivalnet), while flavonoid content determined by colorimetric methode AlCl3 is 1,202% RE (rutin equivalent).
