Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the antioxidant activity of different parts of unripe and ripe papaya (including peel, pulp, seed, and seed-pulp) by measuring their reaction with a compound called DPPH·.
- - Ripe papaya pulp showed the highest radical scavenging capacity (86.4%) compared to unripe pulp (41.3%), indicating that ripeness significantly affects antioxidant levels.
- - The DPPH· reaction rates were notably higher for ripe papaya extracts (2.70 to 4.00 μM/s) than for unripe ones (1.00 to 1.80 μM/s), demonstrating the effectiveness of using DPPH· kinetics to assess antioxidant properties
