This research has been conducted to measure the total of phenolic content and the test of antioxidant activity in cocoa pod husk. Cocoa pod husk extract was obtained by maceration using 2 kinds of solvents, they are 70% ethanol and acetone: water (7: 3). Folin Ciocalteu method was used to measure the total of phenolic compounds and DPPH (1,1- diphenyl-2-pikrilhidrazil) method was used to measure the antioxidant activity. The results obtained, the total phenolic content of 70% ethanol extract and acetone extract: water (7: 3) respectively had the following values: 94.92 GAE/g, 49.92 GAE/g. while the antioxidant activity of 70% ethanol extract and acetone extract: water respectively had the following values: 88.16%, 44.11%. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
