Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a public health problem that occurs not only in Indonesia but throughout the world. The use of insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs is often burdensome to patients because of the high cost and side effects. The balance of free radicals in the body is formed because there are antioxidants. Antioxidants function as the body's defense mechanism against free radicals. Doum fruit or Doum fruit is an alternative fruit that is rarely known to have various kinds of active compounds such as polyphenolic flavonoids. There has not been much research on Doum fruit or doum fruit, it is deemed necessary to do research on the antioxidant test of Doum fruit extract (Hyphaene thebaica) as an alternative to antidiabetic drinks. The analysis was carried out by testing the water content and the antioxidant activity test (% inhibition) using the DPPH method. The results showed that the IC50 value in boiled water was 74,098 ppm, and Doum immersion water was 78,654 including strong antioxidant activity.
