Antioxidant properties, physico-chemical characteristics and proximate composition of five wild fruits viz., Garcinia pedunculata, Garcinia xanthochymus, Docynia indica, Rhus semialata and Averrhoa carambola grown in Manipur, India were presented in the current study. The order of the antioxidant activity and reducing power of the fruit samples was found as R. semialata>D. indica>G. xanthochymus>A. carambola>G. pedunculata. Good correlation coefficient (R-2>0.99) was found among the three methods applied to determine antioxidant activity. Total phenolic content was positively correlated (R-2=0.960) with the antioxidant activity however, total flavonoid content was not positively correlated with the antioxidant activity. Physicochemical and proximate composition of these fruits is documented for the first time.
