Abstract

Various natural sources such as red guava, moringa leaves and snake fruit seeds have been developed for anemia treatment. Fresh Jamaican cherries is known to have 178.96 mg / 100 g vitamin C of and 0.10 mg / 100g Fe. Flavonoids, especially chrysin and quercetin are bioactive compounds, which have an important role in improvement of haemoglobin (Hb) levels. The aim of this study was to extract Jamaican cherries fruits and to analyse that extract in terms of vitamin C and iron concentrations, total flavonoids and tannins. Ripe fruits of Jamaican cherries were collected from Sleman, Yogyakarta and dried cherries were extracted using the maceration method with ethanol solvent. Chemical analysis of vitamin C and flavonoids was carried out at the Integrated Laboratory of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan while Fe and tannins concentrations were analysed at the Food and Nutrition Research Centre, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. We got 34% ethanol extract of Jamaican cherries fruits. The highest chemical concentration was tannins (2.96 ± 0.01%), followed by Fe (0.104 ± 1.05%), vitamin C (0.09 ± 0.01%), and total flavonoids (0.0012 ± 0.56%). In conclusion, ethanol extract of Jamaican cherries fruits becomes a promising nutraceutical for anemia treatment in future.
