QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALLICIN COMPOUNDS IN EXTRACTS AND FRACTIONS OF GARLIC (Allium sativum L.) USING HPLC
Abstract
Allicin is the primary bioactive compound in garlic when garlic crushed or chopped.
Allicin is reactive and unstable. Purpose of this research is to perform qualitative
and quantitative analysis of allicin in garlic extraction with the maceration method
using 96% ethanol as a solvent, and garlic fractionation liquid-liquid method using
water, n-hexane, and ethyl acetate as solvent. Qualitative analysis was performed
using complexometric titration and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) methods.
Quantitative analysis of allicin was conducted using an HPLC. Yield of garlic
extract was 1.16%. Yield of liquid-liquid fractionation was: 2.5% for the water
fraction, 0.39% for the ethyl acetate fraction, and 1% for the n-hexane fraction. The
results of the qualitative analysis using the complexometric method on the ethanol
extract, water fraction, and n-hexane fraction of garlic showed positive results for
the presence of organosulfur compounds, indicated by the formation of black
precipitate. In contrast, the ethyl acetate fraction showed negative results for
organosulfur compounds. The qualitative analysis of allicin compounds using the
TLC method showed positive results in the ethanol extract and water fraction,
indicated by yellow spots on the TLC plates and Rf value of 0.8. In contrast,
negative results for allicin compounds were observed in the ethyl acetate fraction.
The quantitative analysis of allicin using the HPLC method showed that the allicin
concentration in the ethanol extract was 90 ppm (0.10%), while the allicin
concentration in the water fraction was 0.14%. This research concludes that the
maceration method, followed by
