PROFIL KOMPONEN BIOAKTIF TANAMAN KAVA-KAVA (PIPER METHYSTICUM, FORST, F) DARI BERBAGAI LOKASI

Abstract

The purpoeof this research is to know the profil of bioactive component from root, stem,
leaves of cava-cava and the information of which part of plant that give the effect of locomatio
effect and antidepressive by using parameter of immobility duration with swimming method and
sleeping duration.
Method used in evaluating quality and standart of plant that potentially as herbal medicine
that usually used and information is Thin layer Chromatography (TLC) and High Speed Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) ( dashek 1997) Herbal plant that conatins some variuos substances can
support each other but it can possibly has antagonist effect. This the reason why it is important to
know which part of the plant is advantagous and which part of this plant as the source ( root, stem,
leaf, seed)
The extract result comparative between leaves organ and root organ and then to evaluation
base on thin layer chromatografi (TLC) each organ is dominant found Flavokawain, Methysticin
danYangonin. The profil organic acid from root and leaves found the same and equal organic acid
that is benzoate acid. Soil type Malang is andosol, kambisol, latosol, alluvial and Soil type Mojokerto
62,7% is Alluvial, 37,16% grumosol with rich mineral. Base on etanol exctraction , result that
content of bioactive component dominant from plant grow in type soil alluvial.
