KUALITAS EKSTRAK ETANOL 70% DAUN KELOR (MORINGA OLEIFERA LAMK) DALAM RAMUAN PENAMBAH ASI
ABSTRACT: From the collection
of data (SDKI) in 2002-2003, it is found that the number of exclusive
breastfeeding in infants below the age of two months covers only 64% of total
infants. The most alarming facts are that 13% of infants under two months have
been fed infant milk formula and one of three infants aged 2-3 months has been
given additional food. Therefore, using Kelor as herba to facilitating breast
milk is needed as extract requirement. In addition, this research considers
characterization of Kelor extract as a first step to standardize Kelor extract.
Sample is extract of Kelor leaf from East Java. To ensure quality requirements
of 70% ethanol extract from Kelor leaf for herbal medicine, it has to meet the
quality requirement guidelines established by BPOM. Examination includes
non-specific parameter such as water content, total ash, total acid insoluble
ash, and extract microscopic examination. In the other side, specific parameter
includes content of dilute alkohol, content of dilute water, assay of total
alkaloid and chemistry compound test. Characteristic of 70 % ethanol extract
from Kelor leaf for non-specific parameter are water content 15,68%, total ash
3,04%, total acid insoluble ash 1,13% and loss on drying 29,70% , whereas
characteristic of spesific parameter for content of dilute etanol 33,11%,
content of dilute water 47,53%, and assay Trigonellin 15,68 %. The conclusion
is non spesific characteristic from kelor leaf etanol extract, that is water
content does not meet the quality requirement guidelines
