PROFIL KOMPONEN SENYAWA HERBA PEGAGAN (Centella asiatica L.) DARI BEBERAPA TEMPAT TUMBUH DI DAERAH SULAWESI SELATAN DENGAN ANALISIS SIDIK JARI MENGGUNAKAN FTIR

Abstract

Centella asiatica L. is the plant most widely used as a folk remedy traditional medicine to cure various diseases. The efficacy and quality of a natural medicine depend on the chemical composition contained in it. One of the factors that underlie the difference in chemical composition in a plant is the place where it is grown. The purpose of this study was to compare the compounds component profile of herb pegagan from several growing areas in South Sulawesi with fingerprint analysis using FTIR. The Samples used were from 9 regions of South Sulawesi, namely Toraja (Karua, Tondon, Sadan), Luwu (Batusitanduk, Lamasi, Walenrang), Makassar (Mangga 3, Tamalanrea, Moncongloe). Based on the results obtained were relatively the same spectrum results from 9 types of samples and infrared spectroscopy measurements combined with chemometric, group 1 (Karua, Mangga 3, Batusitanduk, Walenrang) and variable areas of group 2 (Tondon, Tamalanrea, Lamasi, Moncongloe) have 95.83% similarities. While the similarity of the regional variable profile of groups 1 and 2 when compared with the regional variable of group 3 (Sadan) has a similarity of 85.42%. The results of this study concluded that there were differences in the profile of the compound components in the herb pegagan which was taken from the nine growing sites in South Sulawesi.
