ABSTRAK
Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang studi analisa kadar vitamin C dan kadar β-karoten
dari sampel berupa buah Terung Belanda hasil sambung pucuk antara tanaman Terung
Belanda dengan tanaman Lancing. Analisa kadar vitamin C dilakukan dengan metode
iodometri dan analisa kadar β-karoten dilakukan dengan metode spektrofotometri UVVIS. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa kadar vitamin C dari buah Terung Belanda
adalah 1,596%, kadar vitamin C dari buah Lancing adalah 0,401% dan kadar vitamin
C dari buah Terung Belanda hasil sambung pucuk adalah 1,202%. Sedangkan kadar
β-karoten dari buah Terung Belanda adalah 208,95 ppm, kadar β-karoten dari buah
Lancing adalah 36,11 ppm dan kadar β-karoten dari buah Terung Belanda hasil
sambung pucuk adalah 253,64 ppm. Jadi, dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan kadar
vitamin C dari buah Terung Belanda hasil sambung pucuk mengalami sedikit
penurunan. Sedangkan kadar β-karoten dari buah Terung Belanda hasil sambung
pucuk mengalami peningkatan.
STUDIES OF ANALYSIS OF VITAMIN C AND BETA CAROTENE
LEVELS OF TAMARILLO FRUIT OF GRAFTING OUTCOMES
BETWEEN TAMARILLO FRUIT (Solanum betaceaum Cav.)
WITH LANCING FRUIT (Solanum mauritianum)
ABSTRACT
A research on studies analysis levels of vitamin C and β-carotene levels of a sample
Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes between Tamarillo plant with Lancing plant has
been done. Analysis of the levels of vitamin C conducted by iodometric method, and
β-carotene levels were calculated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. From the research
result showed that the levels of vitamin C of Tamarillo fruit is 1,596%, the levels of
vitamin C of Lancing fruit is 0,401% and the levels of vitamin C of Tamarillo fruit
grafting outcomes is 1,202%. While the levels of β-carotene of Tamarillo fruit is
208,95 ppm, the levels of β-carotene of Lancing fruit is 36,11 ppm and the levels of βcarotene of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes is 253,64 ppm. So, from this research
can be concluded the vitamin C levels of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes decreased
slightly. While the β-karoten levels of Tamarillo fruit grafting outcomes increased.
