Papaya much loved Indonesian society. Chemical content of papaya fruit such as ?-carotene is a provitamin A, which are crucial for the formation of vitamin A. The purpose of this study was to determine the content and the levels of ?-carotene in papaya Bangkok, papaya Hawai, papaya California. Fresh papaya that has been mashed mixture extracted with hexane: acetone: ethanol (2: 1: 1) v/v with maceration method. Results of extraction used for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis of ?-carotene using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 452.0 nm. Qualitative test results showed that papaya Bangkok, papaya Hawai, and papaya California tested positive for ?-carotene. Average levels of ?-carotene papaya Bangkok amounted to 9,6094 mg / 100 g, papaya Hawai at 11,0345 mg / 100 g, and papaya California amounted to 6,5925 mg / 100 g. ?eta-carotene levels from high to low at the papaya Hawai, papaya Bangkok and papaya California.
