Abstract
Curcuma mangga Val is a zingiberaceae whose leaves are used as aromas and rhizomes to
relieve various ailments. This use suggests an impact on the biological action of the different
organs of this plant. The samples collected at four different sites are dried and then ground.
The determination of total polyphenols is carried out with the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and the
antioxidant activity with the reducing agent DPPH. The amount of total polyphenols is greater
by methanol compared to the two other solvents used: ethyl acetate and chloroform. Methanol
extracts have good antioxidant activity with an IC50 of 415.18 μg / ml compared to vitamin C
of 296.42 μg / ml. There is a positive correlation between the content of total polyphenols and
the anti-radical activity.
Keywords: Correlation, antioxidant activity, polyphenol and Curcuma mangga.
