This article discusses the results of a study of antioxidant activity of extracts from the aerial parts of Gooseberry rejected (Grossularia reclinata (L) Mill.). The total content of antioxidants in the extracts obtained from leaves, stems and fruits of different varieties of Gooseberry rejected was studied with the help of the liquid chromatography «Color Jauza-01-AA». Amperometric method of measure the mass concentration of antioxidants was used. The amount of antioxidants was determined by a calibration curve according to an output signal from the concentration of gallic acid and quercetin. Quantity of antioxidants in alcoholic, hydro-alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the aerial parts of these bodies was found. It was determined that the quantity of antioxidants in the extraction with 40 % ethyl alcohol from the leaves of gooseberry rejected grade «Moscow red» was maximum. These data were the rationale for the choice of 40 % ethyl alcohol as the best extractant for obtaining extractions.
