Abstract
Introduction: We report the effects of extraction methods and the type of solvent to cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamic acid content of dry extract of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii [Nees & T,Nees] Blume).Methods: The extraction method used maceration, soxhletation and infundation. We used 50%, 70% and 96% ethanol as solvent, while for methods infundation used aquadest. Liquid extract dried to obtain dry extract. Cinnamaldehyde and trans cinnamic acid measured by spectrophotometric UV-Visibel.Results: The re sults of the assays showed that method of maceration with 96% ethanol had cinnamaldehyde content on 124.14 ± 1.17 mg/g dry extract and trans-cinnamic acid content on 151.35 ± 1.24 mg/g dry extract. Statistical test showed that method of extraction and type of solvent had a significant effect of cinnamal dehyde and trans-cinnamic acid contents.Conclusion: 96% Ethanol and 70% ethanol solvent had a significant effect of cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamic acid contents, while 50% ethanol and aquadest hadn’t a significant effect of cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamic acid contents.
