The presents study was aimed to determine Phenolic content and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of the leaves of the plant Ziziphus jujuba (Family: Rhamnaceae), an important plant in the Indian system of medicine. Phenolic content of Ziziphus jujube leaves methanolic extract of 2.8% of total extractable poly phenolic compound. The antioxidant activity showed very promising result in both tested methods that is 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric ion reducing capacity. The antioxidant activity is directly correlated to the presence of total phenolic contents.
