Abstract: Objective: To study the scavenging effects on hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxidized anion radical (O2 •) and malondialdehyde (MDA) generated by lipidperoxidation of different apple polyphenol extracts. Methods: The DR spectro- photometry and improved TBA spectrophotometry and solvent box method were used to determined the scavenging effects on• OH, O•2and MDA. Results: Different apple polyphenol extracts all had antioxidant effects, but in different antioxidant systems, different apple polyphenol extracts had different antioxidant effects, and the antioxidant effects of AP I and AP II showed better. Conclusion: Apple polyphenol extracts had antioxidant activity. The main antioxidant components were phenols and proanthocyandins oligomer with low 
molecular weight.

Key words: apple polyphenol extract, scavenging effect, radical, lipid peroxidation
