Aphrodisiac, Effect, Quality, Sterculia quadrifidaAbstract
Background: Sterculia quadrifida R.Br has been widely known and, empirically, has been widely used as an herbal ingredient to overcome sexual disorders in men.
Objective: This study aims to assess the quality, stability, and aphrodisiac properties of faloak bark solution preparations (from plants R.Br Sterculia quadrifida) found on Timor Island, specifically on male white rats of the Wistar strain.
Method: This research is a type of experimental research. The activity test used two variations of the formula (50%, 100%) extract, positive and negative control tests. Data were analysed with one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05).
Result: The test results of extract quality and stability, including moisture content, resting angle, flow speed, dissolving time, organoleptic test, pH, specific gravity, clarity, and homogeneity, met the requirements. The analysis results found significant differences in each test group (p < 0.05), and there were substantial differences between the negative control group and the positive control group, formula one and formula two.
Conclusion: The preparation of the solution of Sterculia quadrifida R. met the established quality and stability. The results of the aphrodisiac test of the effect of Sterculia quadrifida R.Br on the parameters of introduction and climbing activity showed significant activity compared to the negative control group.
