Analysis GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) 96% ethanol extract from turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn. Syn. Curcuma Domestica Val.)

Background: Turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn. syn. Curcuma domestica Val.) is a plant that people believe can cure several diseases. According to a study conducted, it can treat gallbladder disease, colds, coughs, diabetes, hepatic disease, rheumatism and sinusitis, the content of turmeric extract (Curcuma longa Linn. syn. Curcuma domestica Val.) that turmeric rhizome (Curcuma domestica val) has antipyretic effects etc. Objective: This research aims to determine the polar bioactive compounds contained in turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn. syn. Curcuma domestica Val.). Method: The method used is extraction of turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn. syn. Curcuma domestica Val.) methanol solvent with a maceration process then analyzed using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to obtain information on the content of turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn. syn. Curcuma domestica Val.). Results: The results of GC-MS analysis from this study showed that there were 35 peaks and 105 possible compound components that were successfully extracted from ethanol solvent from turmeric. compounds extracted using methanol solvent. The research results also show that there are three possible polar bioactive compounds in the highest peak of the GC-MS analysis results, namely 2-Methyl-6-(4-methylcyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl)hept-2-en-4-one;2-Methyl-6-(4-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-yl)-2-hepten-4-one; α-Turmerone; Turmerone. Conclusion: There were 35 peaks and 105 possible compound components that were successfully extracted from ethanol solvent from turmeric. There are three compounds at the highest peak, namely tumerone, tumerone, and Verbenyl angelate, cis.
