The study was carried out to determine the antioxidant activities on the leaves, seed, and fruits of Chrysophyllum albidum. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The fruits, leaves and seed of Chrysophyllum albidum were extracted with distilled water, Seaman’s Schnapps, Methanol and Petroleum ether using cold extraction. The antioxidant screening of the leaf extracts was done with 1-1-diphenyl- 1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH).
