From the above results, it can be concluded that the methanolic extract of the fruit A squamosa showed more potent in vitro antioxidant activity, with higher percentage inhibition, than the aqueous extract of the fruit. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in the extracts. These compounds may be responsible for the free radical scavenging activity that was observed. Further studies are in progress to isolate the active principles from the extract and to elucidate the exact mechanism of action of the free radical scavenging effect.
