Abstract: In this experiment the optimum conditions for O2 free-radical scavenging assay by the method of the auto-oxidationof 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene were investigated. They were confirmed as the wavelength, 325nm; concentration of 1, 2, 3-trihydroxybenzene, 1.875mmol/L and at 25℃. The results of sweet potato stalk activity assay showed that all extracts of sweetpotato stalks had acceptable O2 scavenging effects. Among all groups, ether-extracts showed the highest activity. However, itsactivity only corresponded to 0.26 time that of Tea Polyphenol at the same concentration(%W/W).
