- Abstract
Two primary compounds from the sesquiterpene group contained in nutsedge's tuber, a-cyperone and nootkatone are related to its benefits as herbal medicine and natural pesticides. This research was conducted to analyze the content of a-cyperone and nootkatone at three different part of the tuber (whole-tuber, peeled-tuber, and tuber's peel) so that it indicates the level of activity from these parts of nutsedge tuber in the tropics. The ethanolic extracts were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with C18 column, acetonitrile and aquabidestillata (65:35) as a mobile phase and PDA detection at 254 nm. The analysis showed the results that the highest content of a-cyperone was on the whole-tuber 1.074%, followed by peeled-tuber 0.736% and tuber's peel 0.202%. Nootkatone was not found in this nutsedge's tuber.
