Abstract: The antioxidant properties of five multimethoxyl flavonoids from citrus peel were determined respectively by ferric thiocyanate method and phospholipids peroxidantion in liposome. The results showed that five flavonoids are able to inhibit linoleic acid peroxidation, and the inhiting capacity is better than rutin. The inhibiting capacities of flavonoids to liposome are relative with their concentrations. And the physiological functions of scavenging ·OH increase also significantly with increases of their concentrations.

Key words: citrus peel, flavonoids, antioxidant activity
