| dc.description.abstract | Avocado is traditionally used to treat various diseases among others, menorrhagia, diabetes,
diarrhea, hypertension and others. In everyday use avocado seed is often not utilized. This study
aims to know the effects of antioxidant of 70% ethanolic extract of the avocado seed (Persea
Americana Mill). The method used is the in vitro antioxidant with DPPH. The extract was
dissolved in methanol and made in a variety of concentrations, namely 10, 30, 50 and 70 ppm
respectively as much as 10 ml. Into each solution was added to 1 mL of 1 mM DPPH solution
and incubated at 37 ° C for 30 minutes, then measured at a wavelength of 515 nm. As the blank
is used methanol and DPPH 1mM. BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene/BHT with concentration of 2
, 4 , 6 , 8 ug / mL were used as a comparator The results show the 70% ethanolic extract of
avocado seed can inhibit free radicals with IC
41,5ppm.
