The antidenaturation and antioxidant properties of Spondias mombin Linn (Anacardiaceae) methanol leaf extract (SMC) and fractions prepared from it were evaluated in this study. SMC and its fractions: ether (SME), saponin-rich (SMS) and flavonoid-rich (SMF) were phytochemically screened and evaluated for total antioxidant activity (TAA), ability to inhibit deoxyribose degradation (DEO), lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity (LPIA), 2,2 - diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl scavenging activity, ability to chelate ferrous ions and protein denaturation inhibitory activity (PRO). The antioxidant and antidenaturation activities were in the order SME > SMF > SMC > SMS. TAA strongly correlated with DEO, LPIA and PRO. The results indicate that S. mombin contains a diverse array of phytochemicals with potent antioxidant and bio-preservative properties which can serve as candidates for food preservation and drug development.
