ABSTRACT
The effect of solvent type in antioxidant compounds
extraction from banana tissues was studied. The solvent system used was pure
methanol, ethanol, acetone and their aqueous solution at 50% and 70% concentrations.
Comparison among three common cultivars of banana in Malaysia (Berangan, Mas
and Raja) had been done and their antioxidant activities were determined by
2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging system, ferric reducing ability
in plasma (FRAP) assays and total phenolic content (TPC) assays. Acetone 70%
had the strongest antioxidant compounds extraction power as compared to other
solvent. All banana samples were found to be low in primary antioxidant but
powerful secondary antioxidant source of fruit. The ascending order of banana
cultivars in term of their antioxidant activities in all antioxidant assays
carried out were Berangan < Mas < Raja. FRAP-TPC assays were highly
correlated (R2>0.70) than FRAP-DPPH and TPC-DPPH assays due to the same
mechanism that occurred in the reaction of FRAP and TPC assays.

ABSTRAK
Kesan jenis pelarut dalam pengekstrakan unsur
antioksidan daripada tisu buah pisang telah dikaji. Sistem pelarut yang
digunakan termasuklah metanol, etanol dan aseton tulen dan larutan akueus
masing-masing pada kepekatam 50% dan 70%. Perbandingan antara tiga kultivar
pisang yang lazim terdapat di Malaysia (Berangan, Mas dan Raja) telah
dijalankan dan aktiviti antioksidan ditentukan melalui ujian sistem penindasan
2,2-diphenil-1-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH), system keupayaan penurunan ion ferik
dalam plasma (FRAP) dan jumlah kandungan fenolik (TPC). Pelarut 70% aseton
didapati mempunyai kuasa pengekstrakan unsur antioksidan yang paling kuat
berbanding dengan pelarut lain. Semua sampel pisang dikenal pasti sebagai
sumber buah yang rendah kandungan antioksidan primer tetapi kaya dengan
antioksidan sekunder. Penyusunan secara tertib menaik daripada segi aktiviti
antioksidan bagi kultivar pisang yang dikaji dalam semua ujian yang dijalankan
adalah Berangan < Mas < Raja. Ujian FRAP-TPC dilaporkan mempunyai nilai
kolerasi yang tinggi (R2>0.70) berbanding dengan ujian FRAP-DPPH dan
TPC-DPPH disebabkan oleh kewujudan mekanisme yang serupa dalam tindak balas
ujian FRAP dan TPC.
