For this study, assays were carried out before and after precipitation of tannins by BSA and PVPP tests. Total phenol and condensed tannins of hydroethanolic extract and its fractions were performed by Folin Ciocalteu and hydrolysis methods. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and CUPRAC tests. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Tannins precipitation leads a light decrease of total phenol and condensed tannins contents of samples. Total phenol content of hydroethanolic extract was 51.2 mg GAE/g vs 3.2 after BSA test and 1.7 after PVPP test whereas condensed tannins content obtained 72.2% vs 4.2% and 2.3% after precipitation. Antiradical activity was lost following the elimination of tannins with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 5.33 ± 0.04 mg/l vs 78.86 ± 0.92 after BSA and &amp;gt; 500 after PVPP.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This results showed the condensed tannins would be in charge of antiradical and reducing activities of plant barks and PVPP precipitated much better the tannins from those extracts than BSA.&lt;/p&gt;
