Abstract
Currently there is an increased interest in plants as a sources of natural antioxidants. In this study antioxidative activities AOA induction period IP measuring the time of resistance towards oxidation and phenolic compounds were evaluated on 11 plant extracts consisting of asam gelugor garlic belimbing buluh curry leaf tumeric leaf Indonesian bay leaf musk lime mango Indian pennywort and lemon grass showed higher AOA than BHT and vitamin C at 200 ppm. Asam gelugor garlic belimbing buluh curry leaf tumeric leaf Indonesian bay leaf mango Indian pennywort and ulam raja had similar or better IP values than the control. The addition of BHT with mango and garlic extractsat 100 ppm resulted ina synergistic increase of IP values. The plant extracts had phenolic compounds in the range of 0.1-2.39 mg/kg which was considered as high antioxidant activity. These locally found natural plant antioxidants may facilitate towards the formulation of safer alternative antioxidant food for the future.
