Abstract

Cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz) are herbs used in traditional medicine. Cassava leaves contain secondary metabolite chemicals such as vitamin C, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenes. Cassava leaves are pharmacologically active as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidants. To identify the sample's active antioxidant components using the DPPH technique. The DPPH method is a method of determining the antioxidant activity of a sample by examining its capacity to neutralize free radicals of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl molecule. The antioxidant activity of quercetin from cassava leaf extract (Manihot esculenta Crantz) yielded an IC50 value of 210.33. The IC50 value shows that cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz) have modest antioxidant lower. Cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz) have antioxidant activity of 210.33 g/mL so they are included in the weak category in this study.

Abstract

Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) are known to contain various bioactive compounds with potential antioxidant properties. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of soursop leaf extract using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method and to determine its total phenolic content using the Folin–Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant activity was assessed at extract concentrations of 500 and 1000 ppm, with quercetin used as a positive control. The results showed that the soursop leaf extract exhibited very strong antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 9,486 ppm. The total phenolic content of the extract was relatively high, ranging from 102,929 to 195,702 mg GAE/g extract. The strong antioxidant activity observed is likely associated with the high content of phenolic compounds, which play a crucial role in scavenging free radicals. These findings suggest that soursop leaf extract has significant potential as a natural antioxidant source for applications in the functional food and pharmaceutical industries.
