Among the samples, TPC was found in the range 21.95 ± 1.18 mgGAE/g ext to 119.80 ± 2.63 mgGAE/g ext while, TFC was recorded in the range 2.57 ± 0.07 mgQE/g ext to 7.27 ± 0.28 mgQE/g ext with the highest value of TPC and TFC in &lt;em&gt;E. ferox &lt;/em&gt;seeds. In case of DPPH and ABTS assays, the recorded IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value were attained in the range 16.99 ± 0.49 μg/mL to 335.90 ± 2.19 μg/mL and 70.69 ± 1.83 μg/mL to 576.26 ± 4.41 μg/mL respectively with the lowest IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value recorded in &lt;em&gt;E. ferox&lt;/em&gt; seeds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of our study revealed that seeds and arils of &lt;em&gt;E. ferox&lt;/em&gt; as well as leaves of &lt;em&gt;E. birmanicum &lt;/em&gt;contain a variety of phytochemicals and promising antioxidant activity which will contribute a scientific insight for exploration of their therapeutic potentials in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
