Salt-fermented soybean foods are popular in Asia as an alternative food seasoning material. The alpha,alpha-Diphenyl-beta-pricrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity, 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical-scavenging activity and reducing power of the 50% ethanol extracts from one variety called in layman term as douchi were evaluated in this study. TEAC on DPPH radical and ABTS radical of extracts and the reducing powers of the extracts was found to increase significantly during the prefermentation (p < 0.05), through to the postfermentation. We investigated the effect of adding salt to the antioxidative activity during postfermentation. It was found that high salt content was not favorable for high TEAC on DPPH radical and the reducing powers. The effect of salt content on TEAC on ABTS radical of extracts was not significant (p > 0.05). The results showed that the antioxidative compounds released during the douchi fermentation were inhibited by the high salt addition.
