Identification of Antioxidant Compounds Structure Large-Leafed Mangrove Fruit

Antioxidants are compounds that can inhibit or prevent the oxidation of the easily oxidized substrate.<br />One of the plants as a potential source of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity is large-leafed<br />mangrove (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza). This plant is commonly found in the Pacific region of Southeast Asia,<br />Ryukyu Islands, Micronesia and Polynesia (Samoa) to subtropical regions of Australia and has been used<br />by the society. This study aimed to determine the bioactive compounds structure of large-leafed mangrove<br />has the highest antioxidant activity. The compound structure prediction was done by Nuclear Magnetic<br />Resonance (NMR). The compound structure in the selected antioxidant fractions are flavonol, glikosilfalvon<br />and flavon. Those three compounds are flavonoid compound which has a great role as the one that has<br />antioxidant activity in large-leafed mangrove fruit
