ABSTRACT

ELIS, 2022. Activity Test of Black Encounter Ethanol Extract Antioxidant


(Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) By DPPH Method (Guided by: Tahirah
Hasan and Nur Alim)

The antioxidant activity of black-encounter ethanol extract


(Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) with the DPPH method has been conducted.
Black matter was identified as containing secondary metabolite
compounds that act as antioxidants. The purpose of this research was to
determine the IC50 value of black-found ethanol extract (Curcuma
aeruginosa Roxb.) by the DPPH method. Research methods include
macerationary extraction using 70% ethanol-releasing fluid and testing
antioxidant activity with the DPPH method. Testing the antioxidant activity
of black-found ethanol extract using a visible spectrophotometer at a
wavelength of 515 nm with an ascorbic acid comparison. The results of
the analysis showed that the antioxidant activity of black-found ethanol
extract (Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.) had an IC50 value of 888.5197±0.337
μg/mL which is categorized as weak antioxidants.

Keywords: Antioxidants; Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.; DPPH.
