Abstract

Objective : This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant activities of spice extracts including clove (Syzygum aromaticum L.), Indonesian cassia (Cinnamomum burmanni (C. Nees& T. Ness)), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L), nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt), java cardamom (Amomum compactum Soland. Ex maton). Methods : This research was to evaluate antioxidant activities including 1,1-diphenyl-2picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity, the value of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total phenolic content. Results : The highest DPPH activity is clove and Indonesian cassia extracts with IC value 4.16 μg/ml and 5.46 μg/ml respectively. The highest SOD value are Indonesian cassia extract (9.1432 U/ml) at 500 µg/ml, 7.0045 U/ml at 125 µg/ml and 4.6751 U/ml at 31,25 µg/ml. Clove extract was the highest of phenolic content  (188.35 µg/mg eugenol equivalent). Conclusion : Indonesian cassia extract have high antioxidant activities. Clove extract contain the highest eugenol compared with Indonesian cassia, coriander, nutmeg and java cardamom.  Key Words: antioxidant; free radicals; spice; total phenolic content

Abstract

Objective : The research objective was to evaluate the phytochemical compounds, the antioxidant and anti-malarial activity of green tea extract and its fraction. Methods: The antioxidant activity were measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity used in vitro laboratories prospective experimental design and completely randomized design, using ethanol extract, hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol fraction, and water fraction ofgreen tea in 7 levels of concentration compared to epicatechin (EC). The data were analyzed using linear regression analysis, and were continued by determined Inhibitory Concentration). The anti-malarial activity of green tea fractions were compared to artemisinin. The data were analyzed using probit analysis, and were continued by determined IC. Results: The results showed that the highest antioxidant activity (IC50) was the fraction of ethyl acetate 2,184 µg/ml. The anti-malarial activity IC50 50 of water and ethyl acetate fraction, ethanol extract and butanol fraction were 0,000090 µg/mL,0,003 µg/mL, 0,006 µg/mL, 0,011 µg/ml respectively.Conclusion: Extract and fractions of green tea have potential anti-malarial and antioxidant properties. Key Words: antioxidant; anti-malarial; green tea; free radicals
