ABSTRAK
Aktiviti
pengoksidaan ekstrak etanol dan air daripada kacangma (Leonurus sibiricus) telah dikaji menggunakan tiga sistem
ujian. Berdasarkan turutan aktiviti antipengoksida, ekstrak etanol kacangma
kering didapati tinggi dalam sistem pengoksidaan asid linoleik (LP) 71.6%, sederhana dalam sistem penindasan superoksida xantin
oksidase (XOD) 69.7% dan rendah dalam
sistem penindasan radikal bebas 1,2-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH) 48.8%. Sebaliknya, ekstrak air kacangma kering didapati tinggi
dalam ketiga-tiga sistem iaitu masing-masing 72.7, 76.3 dan 78.2%.
Pengekstrakan air didapati lebih berkesan dalam mengeluarkan bahan antipengoksida
daripada kacangma kering berbanding pengekstrakan alkohol.

ABSTRACT
Antioxidant
activities of ethanolic and aqueous extract from kacangma (Leonurus sibiricus) were determined by using three model
systems. Based on the antioxidant activity range, ethanolic extract of dried
kacangma was high in oxidation of linoleic acid lipid system (LP) 71.6%, moderate in xanthine oxidase superoxide scavenging
activity (XOD) 69.7% and low in
1,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH) 48.8%. On the other hand, aqueous extract of dried kacangma
was high in antioxidant activities for all three bioassays with mean
percentages of 72.7, 76.3 and 78.2%, respectively. Extraction in water was more
efficient than ethanol in extracting the antioxidants present in dried
kacangma.
