The antioxidant activities of Feronia limonia fruit pulp methanolic extract (MEFL) were investigated by different in vitro assays. DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity and Total antioxidant activity were performed to evaluate the antioxidant capacities of the extract in vitro. MEFL exhibited good radical scavenging capacity in neutralization of DPPH, ABTS radicals and phosphomolybdate in a concentration dependent manner. Total phenolic content was evaluated by Folin Ciocalteau method and it was noted that MEFL had significant total phenolic content. The results of this study illustrate that the Feronia limonia methanol extract can shield the oxidative stress, and the total phenolic content might be correlated with its antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects. Hence, F limonia fruits are good source of natural antioxidants which can be taken as a dietary source.
