Abstract

Sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is traditionally used to treat various diseases. Sappan wood contains phenolic compounds such as gallic acid, brazilin and brazilein. The purposes of this study were to characterize the Sappan wood simplecia and ethanol extract, evaluate the total phenolic content and determine the antioxidant activity of Sappan wood ethanol extract. Characterization of Sappan wood simplicia obtained by loss of drying equal to 10.349 %, water soluble compounds was 3.293 %, ethanol soluble compounds was  6.026 %, total ash content was 0.6509% and ash content insoluble in acid was 0.480 %. Characterization of Sappan wood ethanol extract obtained total ash content was 1.26 %, ash content insoluble in acid was 0.059 % and water content yielded 8.63 %. The total phenolic content of Sappan wood ethanol extract was 71.144 g / 100g.  The higher of the total phenolic content, the higher the antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of wood secang was determined by FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) method and the result was 13.99 mmol Fe (II) / 100g.
