Evaluation Of Antioxidant Activity In Indigenous Afkir Female Tegal Ducks

Abstract

Antioxidant activity of duck’s leg and breast meat was investigated in Animal Science Faculty, Diponegoro University Semarang. Duck’s leg and breast meat of 24 mounth female Tegal’s duck was analize using free radical scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods to estimate antioxidant activity. Total lipid was estimate using soxhlet method and peroxide value was estimate using thiobarbituric acid method. Antioxidant activity of leg’s meat was higher than breast meat (7,54 % : 6.09 %). Ivestigation of total lipid showed that leg’s meat total lipid (10.46 %) was higher than breast’s meat (9,36 %). Peroxide value of leg’s meat (1.03) are higher than breast meat (0.86).
