Semi-preparative HPLC was used to separate the polyphe nolic compounds from Camellia poZyodonta seeds, 10 major peaks were collected in the chromatogram and DPPH and ABTS method were used to determine the antioxidant activity of polyphenolic frac- tions from Camellia polyodonta seeds. The DPPH · radical scaven- ging capacity of 10 of fractions were lower than the vitamin C. The ABTS + radical scavenging capacity of fraction 3 was stronger th...
