Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the phytochemicals and antioxidant activities of the Xylocarpus granatum Koen fruits extract. The phytochemical analysis was performed for alkaloid, tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, anthraquinone, and cardiac glycoside. The fruits of X. granatum was separated by maceration and sequential extraction method with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol to crude extracts. Crude extracts were assessed for their total phenolic contents tested using the Folin–Ciocalteu method and DPPH radical scavenging assay using DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results showed that phytochemical screening of X. granatum fruits have the presence of alkaloid, tannin, terpenoid, flavonoid, anthraquinone, and cardiac glycoside. The crude methanol extract had the highest phenolic content and reduced DPPH; it supports traditional uses in folk medicine.
