Abstract

ABSTRACT

 

Soft Coral Klyxum sp.. is a rich sources in bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, steroids, and steroid glycosides which are commonly used in the health sector. The purpose of this study was to determine the activity of antioxidant compounds from ethanol extracts of Klyxum sp. Klyxum sp., was extracted by maceration using ethanol as a solvent. As a parameter, testing of antioxidant activity was carried out using the DPPH (1,1-diphenil-2-picrylhydarzyl) method, which was measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 517 nm. The results showed that the ethanol extracts of soft coral  Klyxum sp., proven to have antioxidant activity in each concentration test.
