Proximate, Phytochemical Analisys and Phenol Content of Javanese Long Pepper (Piper retrofractum Vahl) from Several Regions in Madura: Analisis Proksimat, Fitokimia dan Kadar Fenol Cabe Jamu (Piper retrofractum Vahl) dari Beberapa Daerah di Madura

Javanese long pepper (Piper retrofractum Vahl) is a native Indonesian spice that is found in many regions in Indonesia, especially in Madura. The cultivation of Javanese long pepper plants is spread across four large areas in Madura, that are Sumenep, Pamekasan, Sampang, and Bangkalan. Empirically, herbal chilies have been proven to be able to treat various diseases. This is closely related to the macronutrient content and bioactive compounds contained in herbal chilies. This research has carried out proximate analysis, phytochemical screening and phenolic content analysis of herbal chilies originating from four regions in Madura. The analysis results showed that Sumenep herbal medicine chili extract had the highest number of calories at 8,434 kcal. Meanwhile, Bangkalan herbal medicine chili extract has the lowest number of calories, namely 8,227 kcal.
