Background: Various plant parts are utilized in traditional medicine for their therapeutic capabilities. Borassus flabellifer is popularly referred to as double palm, Palmyra palm, or toddy palm. The tree's young roots have been utilized to serve as anti-parasitic and diuretic and root decoction serves to treat gastritis and respiratory conditions. Objectives: Qualitative phytochemical analysis of petroleum ether, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Borassus flabellifer sprouts, the quantification of phenol and flavonoid in petroleum ether, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Borassus flabellifer sprouts. Also, to determine the in vitro antioxidant activity of petroleum ether, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Borassus flabellifer sprouts. Materials and Methods: To find important phytoconstituents, freshly made plant extracts were put through both quantitative as well as qualitative phytochemical screening procedures. Antioxidant activity was analyzed using DPPH Radical Scavenging Assay to assess various extracts. Results: Numerous phytochemicals, including alkaloids, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, glycosides, coumarins and saponins are found in various B. flabellifer extractions. The largest quantity of phenol is found in aqueous extracts, also the highest concentration of flavonoids is found in aqueous extracts of B. flabellifer. In vitro, B. flabellifer ethanol extracts had noticeably higher antioxidant activity than other extracts. Conclusion: Nevertheless, presence of several phytochemicals gave all plant extracts antioxidant properties. The latest study makes it easier for researchers to find and separate novel bioactive substances wit
