Abstract

Guava has some potential antioxidant compounds that are varied in characteristics and solubilities. In this research, the study of solvent (methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) effects on extraction process of antioxidant compounds in guava fruit were conducted. The extraction method used was sonicator for 1 hour. Determination of antioxidant activity of guava fruit was carried out using DPPH assay. The result showed that extraction yields on different solvents were varied. Methanol extract has the highest extraction yield while the smallest yield was hexane. However, in DPPH assay, the highest antioxidant activity was showed in ethyl acetate extract. The solvent polarity in extraction process was very influential on antioxidant activity.
