Three extracts (ethanolic, metanoli and hydroalcholic in 1, 2, 5 and 10 PPM cocentration) were prepared. Then antioxidant activity of various extract (ethanolic, metanoli and hydroalcholic) and parts (stems & leavs and flower) of Matricaria chamomilla was measured by two DPPH and FRAP assays. The hydroalcholic extracts (10PPM concentration) of Matricaria chamomilla flower in FRAP and DPPH assay have highest antioxidant power. All extracts showed antioxidant activity in both methods but the results showed that hydroalcholic extract has better activity in antioxidant assays. Also, it can use for treatment many diseases.
