Abstract

Indonesian people use cooking oil extensively in food processing. Free radicals created when cooking oil is repeatedly heated to high temperatures. Oxidative stress is a result of free radical formation in tissues or cells. By Malondialdehyde (MDA), the degree of oxidative stress can be determined. Antioxidants are necessary in order to minimize oxidative damage. Papaya leaves (Carrica papaya L.), containing tannin, alkaloid, terpenoid, saponin, and flavonoid compounds, are one natural ingredient that may reduce free radicals. The purpose of this study is to compare the amounts of MDA in the gastric organs of Wistar rats that were treated with papaya leaf extract and exposed with used cooking oil. The method of this study is using a visible spectrophotometer to measure MDA levels. The initial MDA levels in the gastric organs of Wistar rats were measured at 16.5987 mg/kg before giving them of papaya leaf extract in the control group. After papaya leaf extract treatment, it was determined that the extract decrease MDA levels in the gastric organs of Wistar rats. The rats that received the treatment showed the greatest reduction in MDA levels following the consumption of 110 mg/200 g body weight of papaya leaf extract, which could lower MDA levels by as much as 71%. This result suggest that papaya leaf extract have the ability to reduce MDA levels in the gastric organs of rats.
