Dextrin Production by Enzimatic Process From Various Sweet Potatoes in Pontianak
Dextrin is a modified starch that widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries. One of the starch source that could be used for dextrin production is sweet potatoes that widely cultivated in Pontianak. The aims of this study is to produce dextrins enzymatically using different types of sweet potatoes that available in Pontianak. Dextrin production optimization performed on 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% of alpha amylase concentrations and liquification at 95Β°C for 1, 1.5 and 2 hours. Three varieties of sweet potatoes used: white, yellow, and purple. The results showed that the highest dextrin production is at 0.3% concentration with 2 hours of liquification. The characteristics of the dextrose produced are: fairly soluble in water, dextrose content range 4.14%β4.41%, water content was 10.5% β11.0%, yield range 7%β12%, and 80 mesh filter pass between 91β95%. Dextrins production has met SNI 01-2593-1992 standard dextrin for the food industry
Anti-diabetic Activity of Tabat Barito Leafs (Ficus Deltoidea, Jack) Extract in Rats
Tabat barito (Ficus deltoidea, Jack) leaf is believed could be used to treat diabetes. But more scientific data are needed. The aim of this study is to investigate antidiabetic activity of Tabat Barito extract by glucose tolerance method. The treatment was given in three doses (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg BW) and two controls using aquoeus and glibenklamid. Tabat barito extract was obtained by maceration and made into dry extract with addition of starch. The result showed that chemical compound of the ethanol extract were fenolic and saponin. The extract showed effects in lowering blood sugar levels with glucose tolerance methods at 30 to 60 minutes. Blood glucose levels of mice treated with the extract extract ranged between 132.60 to 258.00 mg/dL , glibenklamide ranged from 130.20 to 144.60 mg/dL, and aqua ranged between 227.60 to 260.20 mg/dL. The percentage decrease in blood sugar levels compared to controls is 32.54%
