An ethnobotanical survey of 40 individuals in the Wilaya of Mascara identified 40 medicinal plants used for the treatment of
diabetes mellitus. Among these plants, Malva sylvestris, olea europaea sylvestris, Citrus aurantium have been selected. The
objective of our work is the phytochemical study and the antioxidant activity of the three plants selected. The raw methanolic
extracts of Malva sylvestris and their stems, olea europaea sylvestris and Citrus aurantium were obtained by the extraction
method: maceration. The quantitative determination of total polyphenols by the Folin–Ciocalteu method and the flavonoids
in the presence of AlCl3, the total polyphenol content in Malva sylvestris and their stems, olea europaea sylvestris and Citrus
aurantium represents 556.33 μg EAG/g MS and 443.33 ug EAG/G Ms; 557.66 gEAG/g Ms 447.77 μgEAG/gMS. The content of
flavonoids is 1032.33 μg EQer/g Ms 898.66 ug EQer/g Ms 894.33, μg EQer/g Ms 1428.33 μgEQer/g MS. Antioxidant activity of
the extracts prepared was measured by two methods. The first is the use of free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)
and the second is reducing power of FRAP iron. These methods show that these plants have good antioxidant activity.
