The aim of this study was to investigate saponins and polyphenolic constituents of methanol leaf extract of Boswellia dalzielii Hutch.The qualitative phytochemistry was based on using reagents known to produce a particular color change which is distinct to that compound, while gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID) was used for the quantitative phytochemistry. The result revealed 24 polyphenolic compounds with protocatechuic acid (32.08%), catechin (23.77%), quercetin (8.35%), luteolin (20.15%) and kaempferol (12.79%) as the predominant constituents, and 11 phytocompounds of saponin with sapogenin (89.98%) and saponine (0.09%) being the predominant constituents. The experimental results indicate that the methanolic extract of Boswellia dalzielii Hutch leaves could be a potent antioxidant agent.
