Antioxidants are substances that can reduce and prevent free radical damage or prevent oxidative damage. The combination of two or more plant species can result in a greater potential for antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the IC50 value of the combination of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl and Zingiber officinale Roscoe with a ratio of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1. Antioxidant activity was determined by the amount of DPPH absorption inhibition (% Inhibition) and the value (50% Inhibition Concentration). The IC50 value in antioxidant activity measurement of ethanol extract combination of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl and Zingiber officinale Roscoe in the ratio of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1, was 372.3078 ppm, 354,3077 ppm, and 344.0863 ppm respectively. The ethanol extract of Cinnamomum verum J. Presl and Zingiber officinale Roscoe at a ratio of 2:1 was the best combination with total phenolic content of 5.63 mgGAE/100 g and produced an IC50 value of 344.0863 ppm.
