ABSTRAK
Kajian ini
telah dijalankan untuk menentukan kesan suhu (50, 70 dan 90 oC) dan
masa didihan (15, 30 dan 90 minit) semasa pengekstrakan pegaga serta
membandingkan kesan pengekstrakan dengan kaedah haba dan tanpa haba. Parameter
yang diukur adalah kandungan polifenol jumlah, aktiviti antipengoksida dan pH.
Hasil menunjukkan bahawa dengan peningkatan suhu dan masa pendidihan, kandungan
jumlah polifenol dan aktiviti antipengoksida meningkat secara ketara melainkan
pada suhu pengekstrakan 90 oC untuk aktiviti antipengoksida.
Kandungan jumlah polifenol dan aktiviti antipengoksida dalam sampel pegaga yang
terhasil tanpa haba adalah lebih rendah berbanding sampel yang terhasil dengan
melibatkan haba. pH ekstrak pegaga meningkat dengan peningkatan suhu
pengekstrakan. Sebaliknya, pH ekstrak pegaga semakin menurun dengan peningkatan
masa pengekstrakan.
Kata kunci:
Kesan suhu; masa didihan; pegaga; pengekstrakan; tanpa haba
ABSTRACT
This study
was carried out to determine the effect of temperature (50, 70 and 90 oC)
and heating time (15, 30 and 90 minutes) during the extraction of pegaga and
also to compare the effect of extraction using heat and non-heat methods.
Parameters measured were total polyphenol content, antioxidant activity and pH.
Results showed that with an increase in boiling temperature and time, total
polyphenol content and antioxidant activity increased significantly except for
extraction temperature of 90 oC for antioxidant activity. The total
polyphenol content and antioxidant activity from samples prepared without heat
treatment were significantly lower than extracts prepared using heat treatment.
The pH of pegaga extract increased with increase in extraction temperature.
However, pH of pegaga extract decreased with the increase in extraction time.
Keywords: Effect
of temperature; extraction; heating time; non-heat; pegaga;
