Bener Meriah Regency is the center of arabica coffee production in Aceh Province, arabica coffee from this area is known as Gayo arabica coffee. Gayo arabica coffee powder (Coffea arabica L.) is the raw material for making coffee drink that has the prime taste of coffee. The purpose of this research was to find out the antioxidant potential of Gayo arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) extracted by Soxhlet method using n-hexane solvent. The characterization of arabica coffee powder oil includes functional group analysis using FTIR, oil component analysis using GC-MS and antioxidant activity test using DPPH reagent. The yield of soxhletation process was 9.09% with density 0.9240 g/cm3. The FTIR spectrum shows some functional groups with sharp peaks. Coffee powdered oil has many components of active compounds that have antioxidant properties such as methylbenzene, caffein, pentadecanioic acid, 2,3-dimethylbenzofuran, 4,7-dimethylindan and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis (2-ethylhexyl) ester. Gayo arabica coffee powder (Coffea arabica L.) has potential material as a source of natural antioxidant with IC50 value = 421.18 ppm.
