Crude palm oil (CPO) is a vegetable oil that came from a palm tree bunch. Palm oil tree was known as highest vegetable oil yield. It was grown across Equatorial County, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia. The greenish red color on CPO was came from carotenoid antioxidant, which could be extracted and use widely as functional food and other purposes as antioxidant source such on the biodiesel posttreatment to prevent biodiesel oxidation. Another antioxidant that also found in CPO is tocopherol. The aim of the research work is to find antioxidant activity on CPO comparing to the synthetic antioxidant that available in a market. On this research work, antioxidant was extracted by using a mixture of acetone and n. hexane, while activity of the antioxidant extract was determined by DPPH method. Antioxidant activity of the extracted compound has better performance compare to pure tocopherol. While the solvent mixture does not influence on the antioxidant activity.
