Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit the oxidation processes and protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. Phytochemical and antioxidant activity screening has been done to 31 types of fruits peel extract. Phytochemical screening performed to determine the pharmacological active ingredient such as: alkaloids, steroids and triterpenoid, flavonoids, saponins and phenolic especially those with antioxidant activity. Phytochemical screening performed by standard methods while antioxidant activity using 1-1-diphenyl-2-picrihydrazil (DPPH). Result showed that the chemical compounds of avocado fruit peel extract and mangosteen positive for alkaloids, steroid-triterpenoids, flavonoids, saponins and phenolic.

Saponins are also found in Carica papaya, Ananas comocus, Ipomoea batatas L , Annona muricata L, Dimocarpus longan, Musa paradisiacal, Manihot utilissima, Musa paradisiacal, Mangifera odorata and Alium cepa L. Phenolics were found in Cytrus hystrix, Annona muricata L, Dimocarpus longan, Solanum betaceum, Mangifera odorata, Citrus aurantifolia , Passiflora edulis, and Citrus sinensis L.
