Antioxidant, Piper betle Leaf, Piper crocatum Leaf, phytochemical contentAbstract
Green Betel (Piper betle.) and Red Betel (Piper crocatum) plants belong to the genus
Piper from the Piperaceae family. It is known that the leaves of the betel plant have
some bioactivity and are used in traditional medicine systems. Many research studies
on the betel plant have reported that it contains important chemical components which
have pharmacological effects, one of which is as an antioxidant. In this review, we
discuss extracts from green and red betel plants as antioxidants and the phytochemical
content contained therein. The review that has been made states that the green and red
betel leaf extracts have antioxidant activity with a widely used method, namely DPPH
(2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy) with the results of antioxidant activity tests from the
latest journal showing that the n-hexane fraction is more active as an antioxidant.
Antioxidant (IC50 26.73 mg/L) compared to the diethyl ether fraction (IC50 114.54
mg/L). The phytochemical content of green and red betel leaf extract is positive for
various secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, steroids,
tannins, alkaloids, and phenolic compounds.
