Analisis Proksimat Dan Aktivitas Antioksidan Microgreens Dari Biji Pepaya (Carica Papaya L. Var. Callina)
ABSTRACT
Microgreens have been widely developed from vegetables and herbs, whereas fruit-based microgreens have not been developed much. This is in line with the high level of papaya Callina consumption in Pekanbaru which results in a lot of unutilized papaya seed waste. Papaya seeds have a complex nutritional content that can be developed into microgreens. This study aims to analyze the feasibility microgreens of papaya seed variety of Callina as functional food based on proximate analysis and antioxidant activity. Proximate analysis was carried out by testing the moisture content (thermogravimetry), ash (dry ashing), protein (Kjeldahl Method), fat (soxhlet method), and carbohydrates (by difference) while the antioxidant activity test used DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl). The results of proximate analysis by dry weight showed that microgreens of papaya seed had of 57.35% water, 0.48% ash, 13.45% fat, 3.46% carbohydrates, and 25.28% protein. Proximate analysis results on fresh weight, showed papaya seed microgreens had 94.35% water, 0.03% ash, 3.43% carbohydrates, 0.76% fat and, and 1.43% protein. Microgreens from papaya seeds have very strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 2.058 ppm. Based on the results data, microgreens of papaya seed are suitable to be used as functional food. Further food feasibility testing on microgreens of papaya seed, it is recommended to carry out phytochemical tests and organoleptic tests.
Key findings : Antioxidants, microgreens, papaya seeds, and proximate.
