Fortified moringa salt was a form of food salt. Moringa has contains 46 healthy antioxidant compounds. These antioxidant compounds can neutralize free radicals that damage cells in the body. The addition of Moringa in salt expected to be one source of antioxidants so that salt does not only have NaCl content. The study aims to identify antioxidant activity in moringa fortification salts during storage. Packaging of Fortified moringa salt was aluminum foil and PET plastic bottles. The salt analysis of antioxidant content in 0 days, 15 days, and 30 days of storage. The antioxidant activity of the Moringa fortification salt has increased, but the water content has decreased.
