Uji Aktivitas Senyawa Antioksidan Dari Ekstrak Metanol Kulit Pisang Raja (Musa Paradisiaca Sapientum)

A research has been done to evaluate the antioxidant activity of metanol extract Musa paradisiaca Sapientum peel\u27s. Maseration technique was used to get the extract using metanol as solvent. The metanol extract of the peel was re-extracted by solvents into n-hexan and ethyl acetate fractions. Phytochemical screening of metanol extract showed positive flavonoid. The antioxidant activities were tested by using ferric thiocyanate method 0,05% (FTC) on linoleic acid and buthyl hydroxyanisole (BHA) as antioxidant standard. Metanol extract, n-hexan and ethyl acetate fraction exhibited antioxidative activity that was not significantly different from BHA, on the other hand, the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited significant antioxidative activity, which is better than BHA
