Free radicals be able enter the body, attack healthy cells, and cause these cells to lose their function and structure. The community has been long using Pandanus julianettii Marteli as a food reserve, anesthetic, to maintain body health, and boost stamina or endurance. This plant has in height of vitamin C, which is useful as an antioxidant. Aims: This study aims to determine the percent inhibition and AAI (Antioxidant activity Index) of ethyl acetate extract. Methods: The methods used were collecting samples, simplicia making, extraction, phytochemical screening, determining percent inhibition, and AAI. Results: The results obtained from this study stated that the ethyl acetate extract of P. julianettii fruit pulp has DPPH free radical scavenger activity, where the IC50 value is 224 ppm and the AAI value is 0.17, which is classified as having weak antioxidant properties. Conclusion: The ethyl acetate extract of P. julianettii has potential material that used as antioxidant.
