Effects Of Gambir Extract Treatment On The Rusted Mild Steel

Uncaria gambir was extracted using six different solvents and the effects on the extraction yield and phenolic contents were investigated. The phenolic contents, namely, total phenolic (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), condensed tannin (CTC) and antioxidant activity (AA) of the gambir extracts wer...
