Abstract

Vitamin C is a nutrient that the body needs in order to increase its metabolism. This helps the body to create collagen and also act as an antioxidant. This study aims to analyze of vitamin C and the antioxidant activity of Capsicum frutescens L. and Capsicum annuum L. (curly and large chili variety), obtained from the Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The study was carried out experimentally using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The measurement of vitamin C was carried out at a wavelength of 265.667 nm while for the antioxidant activity test the maximum wavelength of DPPH was 515.961 nm. Vitamin C levels obtained in Capsicum frutescens L. and Capsicum annuum L. (curly and large chili variety), were 0.926; 0.344 and 0.281 % w/w. For antioxidant activity, the results of Capsicum frutescens L. and Capsicum annuum L. (curly and large chili variety), were 2.202; 2,260; and 2.751 ppm while the comparator vitamin C was 12.360 ppm. These results indicate that Capsicum frutescens L. has higher levels of vitamin C than Capsicum annuum L. (curly and large chili variety), while for the antioxidant activity test, the IC50 value of Capsicum frutescens L. and Capsicum annuum L. (curly and large chili variety) had less antioxidant activity than a comparison vitamin C, which means that they have strong antioxidant activity.

Abstract

In recent decades, drug abuse has had a very high prevalence. Drug abuse has become a global issue. Its distribution is increasing and supported by the use of advanced technology. The deviation in drug use in Indonesia is already at a very urgent position that needs to be addressed immediately. The ease of drug distribution and use among young people is closely related to the neglect of values, norms, rules, and laws that apply in their social environment. This Community Service aims to provide counseling to third-year students of Madrasah Aliyah Pesantren An-Nahdhlah Makassar about the types, benefits, and dangers of drug abuse in society. The transfer of material was conducted using the method of direct counseling to the PkM partners at the school. The results of the activity included an increase in the partners' knowledge and understanding of the types, benefits, and dangers of drug abuse. Based on the results of the pre and post-test evaluations conducted with the partners, an increase in understanding of the material by 30% was achieved.
