Abstrak

This research aims to determine the effect of differences in growing altitude on the phytochemical content of babakoan plants (Barlettina sordida). Babakoan is one of the foreign invasive plants that are naturalized in Indonesia. This plant is used as a medicinal plant and is used as a traditional medicine for wound care. In this study, babakoan was taken from three growing altitudes, namely the range of 1300-1500 masl, 1500-1600 masl, and 1600-1700 masl which are located in the hiking trail area of Mount Gede Pangrango National Park, Cibodas, West Java. The samples used were babakoan leaves which were extracted using two types of solvents, namely 96% ethanol and n-hexane. Phytochemical tests showed positive results for the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, steroid, triterpenoid, and phenolic compounds. The results of the phytochemical test showed that an altitude of 1402 meters above sea level gave the best results in the content of phytochemical compounds with strong positive results in most of the solvents used, namely 96% ethanol and N-Hexane.
