The aim of this study was to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of jahe gajah oil. The total phenol content was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu method and the antioxidant activity assay was done using DPPH method. The total phenol content for jahe gajah oil was 0.626 ± 0.022 mg GAE/g . The IC50 of jahe gajah oil was 5,766 ± 0,087 μl/ml. Antioxidant activity from jahe gajah oil was suggested to be contributed by the phenolic compound and result from synergistic action of all constituents. Keywords: essential oil, aktivitas antioxidant, phenolic content
