Thanks to Belimbing Wuluh Leaves, I Made Arya Bhaskara Swara Got a Bachelor's Degree
I
Made Arya Bhaskara Swara, S.TP. who is often called Bhaskara or Bhas
successfully earned a Bachelor of Food Technology (S.TP.) degree at the Food
Technology Study Program at Udayana University which was officially graduated
in August 2023 by conducting a study on the Effect of Extraction Time Using the
Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) Method on Activities Antioxidants of
Belimbing Wuluh Leaf Extract (Averhoa bilimbi L) under the guidance of
Dr. Gusti Ayu Kadek Diah Puspawati, S.TP., M.Si. and Dr. I Wayan Rai Widarta,
S.TP., M.Si.
The
research carried out was the manufacture of extracts derived from natural
ingredients such as belimbing wuluh leaves. He said he chose starfruit leaves
because according to him, through a library study that had been done before,
these leaves contain bioactive components such as antioxidants which are very
high in potential as anticancer and antibacterial which are good for body
health. In the process of making the extract, the Microwave Assisted Extraction
(MAE) method was used, which is an extraction method that utilizes microwave
radiation which can produce high bioactive components with a short extraction
time.
Bhaskara
in his research reported that starfruit leaf extract contains bioactive
components such as phenols, vitamin C and flavonoids which are indicated to
function as antioxidants and have anticancer and antibacterial potential with
an IC50 value of 28.35 ppm which means that the antioxidants in starfruit
extract are classified as very strong.
