Online published on 20 March, 2019. Abstract This study was carried out to evaluate two type of sage (salvia officinalis) leaves extracts (Ethanolic and Water extracts) by using two methods (reducing power and chelating ability). So this study shows the high content of phenolic compound of ethanolic and water extract of sage (15.8 and 14.6) % respectively. The leaves of sag were locally obtained, twenty gram of ground material was extracted by 250 ml ethanol 95% or distilled water at boiling point, under reflux for one hr. The extractive was filtered and evaporated at 50 C° to the compete dryness. Total phenol assay, total flavonoid assay, reducing power assay, and chelating ability assay were observed in this study. Results revealed that the ethanoic extract had highest percentage of reducing power than water extract of sage leaves as so as the chelating ability percentage.
