Cucumber (Cucumis sativus Linn.) which belongs to cucurbitaceae is one of many vegetables in Myanmar. In the present study, the expressed juices of fresh cucumber with/without internal organ distributed in Mandalay Region were subjected to the total phenol content and the potential antioxidant activities. The fresh cucumbers were purchased from Mingalar Market, Chan Aye Thar Zan Township, Mandalay Region, in Myanmar. Firstly, the fresh juices of selected samples with/without internal organ which are the liquid products by crushing were prepared. Furthermore, these fresh juices were checked for qualitative test of phenols. The natural product phenolic compounds that are secondary metabolites are antioxidants. So, the total phenolic contents of expressed juices were determined by spectrophotometric method with UV spectrophotometer (PD-303 UV Visible spectrophotometer) using Folin-Ciocalteau reagent at 765 nm. Moreover, the antioxidant capacities of these fresh juices were also evaluated by DPPH Assay method using the same UV spectrophotometer.
