Potensi Limbah Pertanian Indonesia sebagai Agen Antidiabetes: Studi Kasus Rambut Jagung dan Kulit Jeruk

Agricultural by-products such as corn silk and kaffir limepeels have not been utilized well. Since every part of a plant contains phenolicscompounds result their secondary metabolism, it is possible that these two wastes can be used source natural antioxidants. Therefore in this study, we investigated the phenolic content citrus peel assess ability extracts to reduce conversion starch sugar antidiabetic assessment. Research procedures include raw materialpreparation, extraction, activity assessment loading extract into nanomaterialpores. The results showed lime peels different total contents. Specifically for silk, seen clearly varietycontribute amount content. Corn from P11 variety has largest up 1.58 mg GAE/g. materialexhibited highest antioxidant against DPPH free radicals, but relatively low activity. For citrus, study lemon, exhibited phenolicswith had phenolics, 23.36 GAE/g, while lemon were 7.94 9.71 respectively. In addition, phenolics compared other parts leaves juice. use solvents provides nanomaterial pores was successful, promising future application field drug delivery. However, studies are still required improve effectiveness diabetes therapy using products.
