Abstract

Antioxidant are an important topic in various disciplines especially in the fields of medicine and health. The theory about compounds of radicals, free radicals and antioxidants is growing most diseases are preceded by excessive oxidation reactions in the body. Vaccinium varingiaefolium (Blume) Miq. belongs to Ericaceae family and elucidate its major compound contribute to ease free radicals as an antioxidant effect to human body. The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-pikrilhidrazil) method is one test to determine antioxidant activity. The DPPH method provides information on the reactivity of compounds tested with a stable radical. The spectrum of unknown component was compared with the spectrum of NIST library. The name molecular weight and structure of the component of the test material were as retained. The experiment shows it has moderate anti-oxidant activity, the methanol extract have 15 compounds that have similarity more than 70% with NIST library whereas 1 compounds formula cannot be detected in databases. There are five major compounds with percentage above 8%. Four compounds mostly in the form of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) in plant. There are limited data of the of biological activities of those compounds. Some paper said that fatty acid in plant used for biodiesel. One of interesting compound is Dichloroacetic acid (DCA). Latest study shows that DCA have potential in suppressing cell proliferation in cancer cells however some study found its carcinogenic effect.
