Abstract: Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam) is one of the fruits commonly consumed as diet by societies,
especially in Papua, Indonesia. Preliminary research revealed that among three extracts of red fruit evaluated,
ethyl acetate extract had the highest antiradical activities; therefore, this research was directed to fractionate
ethyl acetate extract, evaluate antioxidant activities using in vitro methods of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl
(DPPH) radical scavenging, reducing power, and metal chelating activity, and to determine the phenolics and
flavonoid contents of ethyl acetate extract and its fractions. Ethyl acetate extract and its fractions can strongly
scavenge DPPH radical with IC50 value ranged from 5.25 to 53.47µg/ml. Its antiradical scavenging activity
revealed a moderate relationship with the total phenolics content (r2
= 0.645) and with flavonoid content (r2 =
0.709). Ethyl acetate extract and its fractions also had a capability to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+ with reduction activity
ranged 91.26 – 682.18 µg ascorbic acid equivalent/g extract or fraction. These extract and its fractions had
metal chelating activity lower than that of EDTA (IC50 18.19 μg/ml). Red fruit can be used as natural antioxidant
source to prevent diseases associated with free radical.
