The aim of this research is to determine the reduction of peroxide numbers in wasted cooking oil after soaking with papaya leaf powder (Carica papaya) concentration 5, 10, 15 and 20 %b/v, then it has been soaked for one to five days. The wasted cooking oil has initial peroxide numbers sebesar 74,29 mg O2/100.
