Abstract :
Sandalwood (Santalum album L. ) cultivation
is an effort to use this plant in a sustainable manner. This
cultivation effort faces time challenges considering that
the harvesting period of this plant takes a very long time.
Therefore, this cultivation effort must be strengthened by
utilizing the value of this plant before the harvest. The use
of sandalwood fruit can be used as an opportunity to
increase the potential economic benefits of the plant
before its harvest. Communities in parts of East Nusa
Tenggara have traditionally used sandalwood to increase
their immune systems. The use of sandalwood fruit as an
antioxidant functional food commodity is an urgent need,
based on the description of this plant's traditional use of
its fruit. The use of a simple extraction method with a
decoction method using hot water needs to be considered
to make it easier for the community to produce
sandalwood fruit extract. The purpose of this study was
to evaluate the antioxidant activity and total phenol
content of sandalwood fruit hot water extract. The IC50
value of the antioxidant activity of sandalwood hot water
extract is 154.07 ppm. The total amount of phenols
contained in the extract is directly related to this
antioxidant activity. The total phenol content of the hot
water extract of sandalwood fruit is 76,012 ± 1,653 mg
GAE/g. The results of this study show that sandalwood
ethanol extract has higher antioxidant activity than
sandalwood hot water extract (IC50 = 108.98ppm). Total
phenol calculation results support this claim. Compared
to the hot water extract, the ethanol extract of sandalwood
fruit contains more total phenols. Nevertheless, the
antioxidant activity of sandalwood fruit water extract is
still sufficient.
