- Abstract
Guava and green betle leaves have been reported to provide numerous medicinal benefits, including hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antipyretic, and analgesic effects. The aim of this study was to ascertain the total phenolic content and the antioxidant activity of a mixture of ethanol extracts from green betel and guava leaves. The total phenolic content was determined using the folin ciocalteu method, and antioxidant activity was tested using the DPPH method. A UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to assess both procedures. An 1:0, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 0:1 ratio was utilized in the combination of guava leaf and green betel leaf ethanol extracts. The standard of reference for the antioxidant activity test was ascorbic acid. In comparison to the comparison concentrations of 1:0, 0:1, 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 generated very strong antioxidant activity potentials in scavenging free radicals. The determination of total phenolic levels significantly showed differences in the amount of levels at all comparative concentrations. Based on results, it is concluded that the combination of guava leaf and green betel leaf ethanol extracts at a 2:1 ratio has the potential for very strong antioxidant activity and high total phenolic content when compared to other concentrations.
