The antioxidant properties of three wild edible fruits, viz. Mimusops elengi L.Sp., (Sapotaceae), Cipadessa baccifera (Roth) Miq. (Meliaceae), Bridelia scandens (Roxb.) willd.(Euphorbiaceae) were determined by using  DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical-scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant property (FRAP), reducing power ability and chelating activity on ferrous ions .The solvent systems used were Acetone, ethanol, methanol and 100% distill water. The different levels of antioxidant activities were found in the solvent systems used.
