Abstract: This research mainly studied the antioxidation of amygdlin from almond pollen on general capacity of antioxdation, reducing power, DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and antioxidative activity in a lecithin liposome system. It was found that the antioxidative and antiradical capacity of the amygdlin from almond pollen were weaker than that of ethanol extracts and supernatant after amygcllin crystallization, except hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity. So the product of ethanol extracts from almond pollen not only possessed the good antioxidative activities but also the antitumor activities.

Key words: almond pollen, amygdlin, antioxidation
