Karakterisasi Ekstrak Etanol dan Simplisia Bunga Krisan Kuning (Glebionis segetum (L.) Fourr) yang Terdapat di Desa Raya Kabupaten Karo

Abstract

Background: Yellow chrysanthemum (Glebionis Segetum (L.) Fourr) is one of the ornamental plants cultivated in Raya Village, Karo Regency. Chrysanthemum flowers can be used as tea and medicine. Characterization is carried out with the aim of ensuring the uniformity of simplisia quality in order to meet the requirements of simplisia and extract standards. Objective: This study aims to determine the characterization of simplisia and ethanol extracts of yellow chrysanthemum flowers (Glebionis Segetum (L.) Fourr) obtained in Raya Village, Karo Disrict. Method: Characterization of yellow chrysanthemum flower simplisia was carried out at the Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of North Sumatra. Macroscopic test observation of simplisia, determination of water content of simplisia and ethanol extract, determination of total ash content of simplisia and ethanol extract, determination of acid insoluble ash content of simplisia and ethanol extract, determination of water soluble content of simplisia and determination of ethanol soluble content of simplisia. Results: The results showed that yellow chrysanthemum flowers obtained a moisture content of 7.92, ethanol extract moisture content of 15.94%, water soluble juice content of 20.79%, ethanol soluble juice content of 15.38%, total ash content of 4.45%, total ash content of ethanol extract 3.19%, acid insoluble ash content of 2.19% and acid insoluble ash content of ethanol extract 1.48%. Consclusion: Simplisia of yellow chrysanthemum flowers only 4 are qualified against 5 parameters of simplisia characterization testing, namely testing acid insoluble ash content does not meet the requirements while the characterization of ethanol extracts of yellow chrysanthemum flower simplisia only 1 is qualified against 3 parameters of ethanol extract characterization testing, namely water content and acid insoluble ash content.
