Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activities using DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazine) assay of Averrhoa bilimbi L. growing in Indonesia

Resumen

To investigate Averrhoa bilimbi L. growing in Indonesia by phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activities using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) test. Methods: extraction was carried out by sequential maceration with n-hexane, chloroform, and methanol as solvent. Meanwhile, phytochemical analysis was carried out by various chemical tests that have been investigated in different in vitro methods. Furthermore, its antioxidant activity was assessed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) test.
