Abstract

Antioxidant activity of processed mango ( Mangifera indica ) kernel (PMK), processed Bush Mango ( Irvingia gabonensis ) kernel (PBMK) and the mixture of both (MKK) at 50: 50 were evaluated using 2, 2-diphenyl -1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH). The median inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of the three samples showed better correlation with that of reference Quercetin than the reference Vitamin C used. The three samples showed relatively higher radical scavenging effect than the reference samples. The result was significant at p < (0.05), indicative of high level flavonoid and phenolic acid content.
