The Flavonoid Content of Bajakah Honey in Peatlands and Uplands in Kalimantan, Indonesia
Abstract
The bajakah plant is a type of plant used by the Dayak ethnic community in Central Kalimantan. This plant is used to treat various diseases, especially cancer, and degenerative and supplements to increase stamina. The results of previous research found that bajakah contains phenolics, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The research also showed that red bajakah (Uncaria acida) revealed high flavonoid content in its stems, leaves, and twigs. Trigona honey (Heterotrigona itama) also contains high levels of flavonoids. This study aimed to determine whether a mixture of Bajakah stem extract and trigona honey from peatlands and uplands could increase the flavonoid content. The results showed that the flavonoid content increased with increasing red bajakah stem extract concentration with trigona honey from the peatlands and uplands. The highest results were obtained with a mixture of 0.225 mg of bajakah extract and 15 ml of trigona honey from peatlands with a flavonoid content of 29.580 mg/ml and a concentration of 0.150 mg/ml of bajakah extract and 15 ml of trigona upland honey, producing flavonoid content of 32.580 mg/ml.
Keywords: bajakah, trigona honey, peatland, upland, flavonoid.
