This research was conducted in order to determine the type of solvent and ratio between sample and solvent to produce extract avocado seed with the highest antioxidant activity. The experimental design used in this research was a factorial completely randomized design which consisted of two factors. The first factor was the type of solvent consisting of ethanol, methanol, and acetone. The second factor was ratio between sample and solvent of 1:5, 1;10, and 1:15. The treatment was repeated three time to obtain 27 units of the experiment. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance, followed by Duncan test. The results show that the solvent of acetone and ratio between sample and solvent of 1:15 was highest antioxidant activity with total phenolic 803.60 mg/100g, IC50 was 540.95 ppm, and yield 41.36%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
