| Summary: | Furcraea plants contains saponins compound that can act as molluscicide agents and effective in controlling
Golden Apple Snail at paddy field. However, the type of saponin and their amount is differed between
species. This study was done to identify the type of saponin in Furcraea gigantae by using Fourier Transform
Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The amount of saponin in F. gigantae crude extract was quantify by using High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Result shows that the F. gigantae has bidesmosidic furostanol
saponin. The structure of furostanol saponin in F. gigantae was established as 3-[(O-6-deoxyα-L-mannopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β-D-glucopyranos-yl-(1→3)-O-[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-
β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-galactopyranosyl)oxy]-(3
β,5α,15α,22α,25R)-26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-15,22-di-hydroxy-furost-12-one (Da Silva and Parente, 2006).
The yield of saponin extracted from the F. gigantae plant is 5.77 wt%. Findings is important in formulating the
biopesticide made from F. gigantae. |
