In this study, the ethanolic extracts of pericarp, seeds, leaves and bark were allowed to react with the DPPH free radical to give a simple method but gave reliable results. Results were expressed as the concentration of the extracts necessary to inhibit the initial DPPH concentration by 50% (IC<sub>50</sub>). From the IC50 the free radical scavenging activities of the extracts were compared with BHT and Quercetin. Among the extracts, the Xylia xylocarpa extract showed the highest inhibition with IC<sub>50 </sub>less than 0.1 μg/ml.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Health Research}, author={Ramli, Salfarina and Bunrathep, Supawan and Tansaringkarn, Tanasorn and Ruangrungsi, Nijsiri}, year={2018}, month={Nov.}, pages={55–59} }
