This research aims to study the phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity of extracts from two species of amaranth seed is white and purple. The solvent extraction with 2 different types of extract with 95% ethanol and hot water and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The results showed that the extract of white and purple amaranth extracted with 95% ethanol, the extraction percentage higher than amaranth purple and white with hot water extraction. The percent extraction was 8.03 ± 0.60, 6.13 ± 0.16, 0.21 ± 0.00 and 0.18 ± 0.01, respectively.
