Phytochemistry Screening and Total Flavonoid Test on Plants Associated Mangrove (Pluchea indica and Sesuvium portuculastrum Leafs) at Blanakan, Subang, West Java

摘要

Phytochemistry screening on plants associated mangrove, especially in Indonesia silvofishery area has limited. This research was aimed to find out phytochemistry of plants associated mangrove and flavonoid content. Based on field survey there were two species of plants associated with mangrove, which were Pluchea indica and Sesuvium portuculastrum. Extraction was conducted through maceration using methanol for 48 hours. The results showed that the extract yield of P. indica was 8.92 g/80 g sample with total flavonoid of 4186.6 mg/kg. While S. portuculastrum showed the extract yield of 11.14 g/100 g with total flavonoid of 5571.2 mg/kg. The negative result of the qualitative test was shown by both species on the steroid test. Further research should be considered as these plants performed high flavonoid in order to develop the application of the compound in relevant studies.
