Abstract
Abstract
Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott is an edible aroid from the family of Araceae. It is a tuber crop which is known for its variety of cooking preparation. This study aimed to evaluate the Total Phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activities by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH) scavenging assay. Methanol fraction showed the highest TPC, whereas the extract obtained using 95% ethanol showed the highest inhibition in DPPH scavenging assay and IC50 values of 308 µg/mL. These results indicate that C. esculenta has antioxidant activity with high phenolic contents which can be consumed as a functional food to increase health benefits and lower the risk of diseases.
