<![CDATA[Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity test of the ethanol extract of eggplant fruit (Solanum melongena L) have been done. Extraction is done by maceration method using ethanol. Phytochemical screening is done by testing the qualitative class of antioxidant compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, glycosides, anthraquinone, and steroids / triterpenoids. Phytochemical screening results indicate the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids. Test of the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of eggplant fruit with DPPH method using UV-Vis spectrophotometer resulted the DPPH antioxidant activity optimum in 29th minute and the 58th minute with a maximum wavelength of DPPH solution of 513 nm. Testing the power of antioxidants compared to ascorbic acid as a positive control showed by IC50 of 535.89 ppm in 29th minute and 385.06 ppm in 58th minute.]]>
