ABSTRACT

This analysis aims to determine the antioxidant activity of a methanolic extract of Murraya paniculate leaves. (M. paniculate), Trachyspermum ammi (T. ammi), Carica papaya (C. papaya) using 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazine (DPPH). The antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of T. ammi, M. paniculate and C. papaya leaves was assessed using the DPPH free radical assay, which is one of the most accurate methods for determining antioxidant activity. The free radical scavenging activity of the methanolic leaf extract of T. ammi, M. paniculate and C. papaya increased with increasing concentration, indicating that it has antioxidant properties. The EC50 value of methanolic extract of T. ammi, M. paniculate and C. papaya shows EC50 of 47, 46, 45 ?g/mL respectively. Ascorbic acid was used as control. This research indicates that T. ammi, M. paniculate and C. papaya extracts have a lot of antioxidant capacity and may be useful for both nutritional and medicinal purposes.
