Abstract :
The use of red cabbage by the community is still too limited for a mixture
of salads and pickled vegetables. Therefore, in this study, the sample was made in
the form of juice to become a reference in the simpler use of red cabbage by the
community. Red cabbage contains vitamins, minerals, sulfofanan, and flavonoids,
especially anthocyanins which can support antioxidant activity. Anthocyanins are
organic compounds of the flavonoid group that can cause red color and dissolves
in water. This study aims to determine the levels of anthocyanins in red cabbage
juice (Brassica oleracea Var. Capitata L.) which were analyzed using the UV-Vis
spectrophotometric method. The determination of anthocyanin levels in red
cabbage juice was carried out by the Uv-Vis spectrophotometric method with the
difference in pH expressed in mg / 100gram of red cabbage juice at a wavelength
of 525 nm. The results were obtained with an average anthocyanin content of
19.74 mg / 100gram red cabbage juice.
