Abstract :
Antioxidants are compounds that can inhibit or reduce free radicals by
capturing or giving unpaired electron pairs so that they are not reactive. Red
cabbage (Brassica oleraceae L.) contains flavonoid compounds, namely
anthocyanins that can be used as antioxidants. This study aims to determine the
antioxidant activity of red cabbage juice (Brassica oleraceae L.) with variations in
storage time. Red cabbage is juiced using a juicer extractor. The antioxidant activity
test of red cabbage juice used the ABTS method, measured at a maximum
wavelength of 733.5 nm in the 6th minute with vitamin C as a comparison. Data
analysis from the antioxidant activity test with variations in the storage time of red
cabbage was carried out using One Way Anova. The results of the antioxidant
activity test on the first day produced IC50 860.943 ± 0.8609 ppm and on the fourth
day produced IC50 944.318 ± 0.9443 ppm and on the 7th day produced IC50
1083.142 ± 1.0831 ppm. The results of One Way Anova show that there is a
significant difference between the antioxidant activity of red cabbage juice with
variations in storage time so that it can be concluded that storage time affects the
antioxidant activity of red cabbage juice.
