FORMULATION AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY TEST OF SERUM COMBINATION OF MINT LEAVES ATTENTIVE OIL (Mentha piperita L.) AND SPRING FLOWER ATTENTIVE OIL (Clitoria ternatea L.) DPPH METHODS

Abstract

Mint (Mentha piperita L.) contains key compounds such as menthol and menthone, which have strong
antioxidant activity. Butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea) contain phenolic compounds,
flavonoids, anthocyanins, and flavonol glycosides as antioxidants. This study aimed to determine the
physical quality of serum preparations and the antioxidant activity of a serum combination of mint
leaf essential oil (Mentha piperita L.) and butterfly pea flower essential oil (Clitoria ternatea L.) using
the DPPH method. The results of the physical testing of the serum preparations showed that serum
formulas F0, F1, F2, and F3 met good physical quality test standards. The antioxidant activity test
results for the serum preparation combination of mint leaf essential oil and butterfly pea flower
essential oil were as follows: Formula 0 (567.256 ppm), Formula 1 (141.007 ppm), Formula 2 (69.506
ppm), and Formula 3 (133.769 ppm).
