Instrumentation System Of Flavonoid Compounds Of Moringa Leaf Using Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE)

In this study, a computer interface-based temperature monitoring system was built in the Moringa Olivera Lamk leaf extraction process using Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) to obtain flavonoid compounds. The extraction temperature is monitored during the extraction process. Moringa leaf extraction with UAE was carried out to see the effect of solvent volume and extraction time. The variations carried out are the volume of the solvent in the range 10-30 mL, the extraction time for 10-50 minutes. Methanol was chosen as the solvent in this study using 10 grams of Moringa leaves. Test the total content of flavonoids using UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The temperature monitoring system during the extraction process can be viewed through a computer interface programming. While the results of the extraction of flavonoids from Moringa leaves using UAE showed the best results were obtained using a solvent volume of 20 mL and extraction time of 20 minutes. The best flavonoid content obtained was 2.855 / mg Quarsetin. These results indicate that the solvent volume and extraction time affect the extraction yield of flavonoids from Moringa leaves using Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE).
