Description
Summary:Free radical can have a toxic role. Antioxidant is a molecule that can neutralize free radicals. Cinnamon was known to possess antioxidant activity. This research aims to determine antioxidant activities of leaves, barks, and branches of cinnamon with DPPH and CUPRAC methods; total phenol and flavonoid; analyze correlation of total phenol and flavonoid with antioxidant activities by DPPH and CUPRAC; correlation between DPPH and CUPRAC methods, identify and determine marker content in extract. Extraction was done by reflux alternately using n-hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol solvents. DPPH and CUPRAC assay together with total phenol and flavonoid content measurement was done using UV-visible spectrophotometry and followed by Pearson correlation. Identification and determination of marker content was conducted using HPLC. Antioxidant activities of cinnamon extracts were in the range of 5.369-775.649 mg AAE/g (DPPH) and 10.488- 561.193 mg AAE/g (CUPRAC). Highest antioxidant activity with two methods found at branches ethanol extract. Ethanol barks extract had the highest phenol content (22.423 ± 1.084 g GAE/100 g), while ethyl acetate leaves extract has the highest flavonoid content (6.272 ± 0.301 g QE/100 g). Total phenol and flavonoid had a significant positive correlation with antioxidant activities by DPPH and CUPRAC. Correlation of antioxidant activities between DPPH and CUPRAC methods of all cinnamon extracts were significantly positive, except for the branches n-hexane extract. Phenolic and flavonoids compounds group had great contribution to antioxidant activities of cinnamon extracts by DPPH and CUPRAC methods. DPPH and CUPRAC methods gave linear results in antioxidant activities of cinnamon extracts. The identified marker compound of ethanol barks extract of cinnamon was eugenol, with concentration of 0.000569%.
