ABSTRACT
Phyosiee! may reduce the absorption of cholestora, and used for preventing albwroscerasis. It lined in soyean, bul
potently abundant in whest germ. Research onthe uiizaon of wheat germ ser! had ot boon repoded 20 far. Many aspect: of gwimt
Slee extacon fom whoa! grm and it characterises were elif ucknown. In his research, the best extraction method, kinds aid -oront of
yest from wheat germ wore investigated.
Tis research consisted of two sleps: (1) exracion of phytostrl directly fom whole gern and ground garm using ho-ane, and
‘ralvect extraction though germ ol using hexane and mised solvert of hexane and ethanol, and direct extraction from ground gm using
ethanol: (2) analysis oft type and caret of pytostera inthe crude exact tcugh the folowing steps: preparation of crus» extract
Fctonation, and analysis
Results showed that indrect extraction tough gem cil was considered as the best method which yielded 1.27% of ps yosteo.
The highest yield was obiaied when extracted using @ mixed solvent of hexane ~ ethanol 82:18. However, th ador of ethanol 34 hexane
{gasoino like oor} was ett delcted. The solvent’ ratio of hexane fo ethanol at 1:2 resuted befor odor ofthe extract. trac. of stro!
‘sig tan! yielded 18398 of terol whon the rato of gorm to ethanol a 1:10 (wh) was appli.

PENDAHULUAN
Sterol_merupakan alkohol berbobot _molekul
tinggi yang terdapat pada fraksi tidak tersaburkan dati
minyak dan lemak pada jaringan hewan dan tanamen.
Sterol pada hewan adalah kolestero, sedangkan peda
tenaman adalah filostero, Beberapa flosterol antara tain
adelah sitter, stgmasterol, campesterol, &7-
stigmasterol dan 6-5-avenasterl (Hui 1996)
Sterol tanaman.alau fitostero! mempunyai sfat
aniaterogenix, Konsumsiflosterel dalam jumlzh banyak
dapat mengganggu peryerapan kolestrol sehingga akan
meningkalkan ekskresinya (Hui 1996). Penurunan kadar
kolesterol plasma merupakan strategic bidang keschatan
masyarckat yang amat penting, sebab peningkaton kadar
kolesteral merupakan faktor risiko utema penyakit jentung
koroner. inlervensi secara Klis menunjukkan bahwa
penurunan Kedar koesterol total dan LOL dapat
menurunkan Kematian akibat penyakt jantung koroner
secara nyata (Cleghorn eta, 2003).
Gandum (Triicum sp.) merupakan sere: ia yang
temasuk tanaman genus Tritcum dari famili G-aminae
Menurut Basson dan Larsson (1993) dat sisi tek ola bi
gandum tard dai tiga bagian, yay embage (germ),
fendoscerm dan dedak, Menurat Matz (1992) sembaga
‘gandum mengandung protein bermutu tnggi den temak
yang tinggi. Lemak lembaga _gandum men jandung
fitoserol sebesar 1,3-1,7% terhiadap minyak (For 10 ela
1979)
Beberapa tahun terakhir ini telah banyak
Giizkukan peneiian terhadap peranan ftosterc\ delam
