The IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of methanol extract from &lt;em&gt;Honeycrisp apple &lt;/em&gt;varied from 10.30 to 36.29 μg/ml which indicates the high radical scavenging activity of the sample. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The DNA damage defensive potential of the extracts was also revealed, which could be used in cancer inhibition.&lt;/p&gt;
