The antioxidant contents including anthocyanin, alkaloid, tannin and vitamin C were determined in leaf samples of Lumnitzera racemosa, Ceriops tagal and Ceriops decandra mangrove trees grown in RAWN Park. The leaves of C. tagal contained the highest anthocyanin (0.068%) in comparison to C. decandra (0.047%) and L. racemosa (0.042%). On the contrary, alkaloid content of L. racemosa leaves (0.067%) was significantly higher than that of C. tagal (0.046%) and of C. decandra (0.048%). Similarly, the tannin content of L. racemosa leaves (29.66%) was significantly higher than C. tagal (23.53%) and C. decandra (7.11%). In addition, the vitamin C content of the L. racemosa leaves (283,11 mg/100g) was significantly higher than C. decandra (231,35 mg/100g) and C. tagal (216,82 mg/100g).
