Abstract

Traditional medicine has historically employed the West Sumatran herb Garcinia cowa Roxb, often known as asam kandis. Flavonoids are one of many phytochemicals found in the rind of asam kandis. Since the rind of G. cowa has been shown to have antioxidant action, it is frequently utilized as a medicinal plant. Mineral and vitamin A content of Garcinia cowa Roxb is unknown as of this writing. Active ingredients including vitamin A, selenium, and zinc can shield the skin from oxidative damage and are crucial for both the prevention and treatment of aging skin. In this study, the amount of vitamin A, zinc, and selenium in the rind extract of G. cowa will be examined. The preparation of G. cowa rind samples used the maceration extraction method and 96% ethanol. UV-Vis Spectrophotometry was used to analyze the amounts of vitamin A, at a wavelength of 286 nm. Meanwhile, an X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer was used to analyze the amounts of zinc and selenium (XRF). According to the findings, there was 1.16% of vitamin A and 0.212% and 0.002% of zinc and selenium, respectively, in the rind of asam kandis.
