Abstract

A research has been done about comparative study of the levels of total anthocyanin fruit cactus ( Opuntia elatior Mill) from Palu city using UV-Visible spectrophotometry in order to determine the levels of total betasianin cactus fruit that comes from the Mantikulore, East Palu and South Palu Subdistrict. Betacyanin pigment extraction using maceration method with a ratio of solvent : the sample (1: 1), then the separation using a centrifuge and filtered, the filtrate obtained was concentrated using a rotary evaporator at 35 C to obtain a concentrated extract of 4 ml. The extraction is performed three times. The extract was tested qualitatively using reagent HCl 2 M and NaOH 2 M and for quantitative assay using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at wavelength of 538 nm. The results obtained in qualitative tests showed the three sampling sites containing betacyanin. On the quantitative test results betacyanin total levels from Mantikulore subdistrict of 0.022 mg/100 g, East Palu subdistrict of 0.021 mg/100 g and South Palu subdistrict of 0.021 mg /100 g.
