Abstract

The objectives of this research were to determine the phy¬tochemical content and antioxidant activity of cassia vera bark extract This research showed that the total phenol content of cassia vera ethanol extract was 62.25 %. It’s also consist of tannin, flavonoids, triterpenoid, saponin. and alkaloid. On the other hand, antioxidant ac¬tivity of ethanol extract was higher than acetone and wa¬ter extract with protective factors of 3.60; 3.02 and 1.77, respectively. It’s also better than BHT with protective factor of 1.08. The activity of ethanol extract at 200 ppm was higher than BHT at the same concentration with pro¬tective factors of 2.1 and 1.25, respectively. Meanwhile, at 300 ppm the activity of this extract was also higher than -tocopherol with protective factors of 2.17 and 1.35, respectively. Key words: phytochemical content, antioxidant activity, cassia vera bark extract
