Antioxidant Activity Test of Chayote (Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz) Ethanol Extract using DPPH Method

Abstract: The chayote (Sechium edule (Jacq.) Swartz) is thought to have excellent antioxidant activity. Fresh chayote has been used empirically by the public as an antihypertensive and to reduce cholesterol levels. This is because chayote contains several vitamins including vitamin A, B, C, and several secondary metabolites. The antioxidant activity found in chayote can prevent the oxidation of a molecule thus stopping the free radical chain reaction and maintaining the working system in the body. This study aims to det… Show more

“…Chayote fruit is a much more impressive source of vitamins (Kumar et al, 2017;Fadliya et al, 2018;Daulay et al, 2021). Folate, also called vitamin B9, reduces the risk of birth defects of the brain and decreases the risk of preeclampsia and early labor (Fauziah et al, 2019;Purba et al, 2019;Fauziningtyas and Ristanto, 2020).…”

“…Chayote is often used for medicinal purposes. Some of the vitamins found in chayote include vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C. Chayote is generally used to treat diseases such as lowering blood pressure, relieving urinary retention, reducing the burning sensation during urination, dissolving kidney stones, and arteriosclerosis by boiling the fruit [8]. In addition, based on phytochemical analysis of chayote extract, bioactive compounds in the form of phenolic compounds have been identified [9].…”
