Abstract

The Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) is one of the plants whose all parts have functional benefits for the human body. The
flower petals are reported to be useful as antioxidants, antidiabetic, antiobesity, anticancer, anti- inflammatory, antibiotic and
protect liver issue. One of the natural pigments that may be used as natural dyes is anthocyanin. Butterfly Pea (Clitoria
ternatea) is a source of blue pigment or anthocyanin. One of the ways so thatthe butterfly pea can be consumed by the public is
by utilizing the potential of natural pigments from the extract ofthe telang flower and some of the content in it can be done by
applying it as a natural food coloring. This is one of the efforts that can be done to prevent the increasing use of unsafe
synthetic dyes by replacing them with the manufacture of natural dyes. Anthocyanin is a natural pigment that gives blue color
to the butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea). Anthocyanin extraction using soxhletation method with aquadest solvent and extraction
time (90, 120 and 150 minutes). This study aims to determine the best extraction time for the extraction of anthocyanins from
butterfly pea. The research parameters included qualitative and quantitative analysis of anthocyanins (extract yield, total
anthocyanin concentration, and antioxidant activity) of butterfly pea extract. From the results of the study, it was found that
the best condition is extract with time variation 90 minutes and 10 times circulation using aquades as a solvent with extract of
yield 2.36%, total of anthocyanin concentration 80.105 mg/L, and antioxidant with IC50 35.91.
