THE FLAVONOIDS CONTENT IN LEAVES AND FRUITS OF PAPAYA (Carica papaya L.) VAR. CALIFORNIA AND VAR. GANDUL
TL;DRAbstract
<p>Papaya has widely used as traditional medicine. Papaya leaves and fruits contain flavonoids that can be used as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer. Flavonoid is one of secondary metabolite products. Flavonoids are ubiquitous in photosynthesis cells. Flavonoid content can be affected by enzyme which arranged from protein, meanwhile difference formation of gene can affect protein content. The aim of this research was to measure flavonoid content in leaves and fruits of genetical engineering papaya (var. California) and local papaya (var. Gandul). Leaf and fruit samples were dried to make powder. Samples were reflucted with HCl 4 N and extracted with Eter (three times). NaNO3 5 %, AlCl3 10 % and NaOH 1 M were added into samples then analyzed using spectrophotometer (á 454 nm) with quercetin as standard. Data analyzed using T test (p &lt; 0,05). The result showed in California leaves has higher concentration of flavonoid (0,73% w/ w ± 0,05) than Gandul leaves (0,69% w
