Application of Ultrasound on the Extraction of Vitexin from Ficus Deltoidea Leaves

Ficus deltoidea or Mas cotek is one of the most popular plant herbs that have been widely used traditionally as postpartum treatment and health tonic. Preliminary or existing extraction method has been used to extract the plant herbs that have low productivity range. This method however can still p...
