Abstract: Active components were extracted by different solvents and different means from the flowers of Impatiens balsamina L., and their antioxidative capacities were determined by solvent box method. Tests revealed that the different extracts all have antioxidant activity, and the water extract shows the strongest. The antioxidant capacity of the extraction which obtained from the flowers of Impatiens balsamina L.(100g per) is equivalent to the antioxidant capacity of VC 2.3g, quercetion0.76g, rutin 0.02g,r espectively.

Key words: Impatiens balsamina L., extract, antioxidative activity
