The aim of this research was to determine antioxidant activity in various flesh extracts from three different processing of two cultivar of papaya using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and correlation of total phenolic, flavonoid and carotenoid content in various flesh extracts with their IC50 of DPPH antioxidant activities. Extraction was performed by reflux using different polarity solvents. The extracts were evaporated using rotary evaporator. Antioxidant activities using DPPH assay, determination of total phenolic, flavonoid and carotenoid content were done by UV-visible spectrophotometry and its correlation with IC50 of DPPH scavenging activities were analyzed by Pearson’s method. All of ethyl acetate flesh extracts in two cultivar of C. papaya were categorized as very strong antioxidant by DPPH method. Phenolic and carotenoid compounds in raw C. papaya cv. calina were the major contributor in IC50 of DPPH scavenging activities. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemical Research.
