ABSTRACT
Antioxidants reduce the oxidative stress in cells and are therefore useful in the treatment of many human diseases. The total antioxidant capacity and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl were studied. The literature on value addition to fruit derived waste is diverse. This paper presents the Hydro alcoholic extracts of Pomegranate and Lemon fruit peel which are traditionally used in medicine were screened for antioxidant activity, in which Punica granatum L. extract had a high total antioxidant scavenging activity of 38.9% at 100 g/ml concentration by which Lemon extract has a strong scavenging activity of 118.3 percent at a concentration of 40 g/ml. and Pomegranate peel high DPPH radicals found (46.235) at 60 g/ml of extract concentration. and Lemon 75.54 percent at a concentration of 60 g/ml. it is critical given the growing popularity through, fruit therapies around the world.
