Abstract

Vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one type of filter feeder, which is an animal that eats particles and organic matter and living things suspended in the air, generally by passing air into the animal's filter structure. Cadmium (Cd) has toxicity (the ability of a chemical substance to cause an organism) even at low concentrations. Antioxidants are substances that can slow down or prevent the oxidation process. This substance is significantly able to slow down or inhibit the oxidation of substances that are easily oxidized even in low concentrations. The main use of antioxidants is to stop or break the chain reaction of free radicals by donating one electron to compounds that are oxidants so that the activity of these oxidant compounds can be inhibited. Natural antioxidants are flavonoid compounds which are a group of polyphenolic compounds derived from plants such as tea, fruits, vegetables, and Indonesian spices such as turmeric, ginger, chili, shallots, garlic, and others.
