Abstract :This study was aimed to identify the phytochemistry and antioxidant activities of the methanol extract obtained from the leaves of Citrus limon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.); Osbeck insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CLM);. HPLC analyses revealed the presence of various phenolics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(gallic acid, catechin, vanillic acid, coumaric, resveratrol); and flavonoids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(rutin and apigenin);.Qualitative analyses showed phenolics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(302.91 μg EAG/mg);, tannins insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(36.86 ± 0.71μg ECT/mg); and flavonoids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19.77 ± 0.06 μg EQ/mg); and coumarins. CLM exhibited a significant concentration-dependent in vitro antioxidant activity against DPPH radical and reducing power insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FRAP test);. This study concluded that the methanol extract obtained from the leaves of C. limon possess an antioxidant potential.
