Abstract: By using superoxide radical system, hydroxyl radical system, H2O2 radical system and DPPH system ,the antioxidation activities of cassia seed water extract were studied and compared with VC. The results showed: cassia seed water extract has better scavenging effect in superoxide radical system, hydroxyl radical system and H2O2 radical system and its scavenging capacity is stronger than VC. It shows better scavenging effect to DPPH with scavenging capacity parallel to VC. Cassia seed water extract is a good sort of natural radical scavenger.
