Description
Summary:Anemia due to iron deficiency in young girls and pregnant women remains a nutritional health problem in Indonesia. They take iron tablet/day to improve their iron status but it sometimes has some side effects. In Sleman Regency, snake fruits Pondoh are used to make various processed foods but some home food industries leave snake fruit seeds as industrial waste. Therefore, the aim of this study was to extract gradually seeds of snake fruits Pondoh for development of anemia iron supplement. In this explorative study, we collected seeds of snake fruits Pondoh from a home food industry in Turi district, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. In brief, we made simplicia of snake fruit seeds in several steps from washing, selecting, drying, cutting in small pieces, grinding to separating with 100 mesh sieve. After that, the simplicia was extracted using tetrahydrofuran, methanol, acetic acid, hexane and or ethyl acetate reagents to separate lipid, water and organic fractions, which were then dried using a vacuum evaporator. Dried fractions of snake fruit seeds (SFS) were finally measured using the inductively coupled plasma or atomic absorption spectroscopy method for iron levels and using ferric chloride for tannin content. From two different methods of making simplicial, we got 26.88 and 22.82% (weigh/weight) iron levels while ethyl acetate SFS fraction had higher iron levels (2.65% w/v) than lipid and water fractions (1.62 and 1.88% respectively). In addition, there was only the water fraction that contained tannin. In conclusion, the ethyl acetate fraction of SFS Pondoh may be useful for development of anemia iron supplement.
