Abstract

Papaya leaves are commonly consumed by people as vegetables and also as traditional medicine. The use of papaya leaves as herbal medicine is due to chlorophyll's active substance content, which is included in the antioxidant. Papaya leaves able to be processed in jelly form so that it able to use as snacks. This study conducted to examine the effect of papaya leaf juice jelly was treated on levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD). The design of this study was a randomized pre-posttest on 20 healthy people. Papaya leaf juice jelly was given 24.6 grams perday for 20 days. Data were collected by blood analysis using the TBARS method for MDA and Elisa for SOD; the pairedt-test analyzed data. The MDA and SOD levels before treatment were respectively 10.13 mmol/mL and 45.36 mmol/m. The MDA and SOD levels after treatment were respectively 9.03 mmol/mL and 75.09 mmol/mL. There was a significant effect of papaya leaf juice jelly on decreasing MDA (p= 0.002) and increasing SOD (p= 0.001). The treatment of papaya leaf juice jelly per day for 20 days had a significant effect on decreasing MDA levels and increasing levels of SOD.
