Summary, etc. <p>This study aimed to investigate four wild edible fruits of Sikkim Himalaya viz. <em>Baccaurea sapida, Diploknema butyracea, Machilus edulis </em>and<em> Spondias axillaris</em> for their mineral, phytochemicals (ascorbic acid, β-carotene, flavonoids, lycopene, and total phenolic contents) and antioxidant property. The total phenolic and lycopene contents were found maximum in  <em>S. axillaris</em> subsequently in by <em>M. edulis</em>, <em>D. butyraceae</em> and <em>B. sapida</em>. <em>S. axillaris</em> also showed the highest antioxidant activities and contains significantly higher concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron. The amount of ascorbic acid was observed highest in <em>D. butyracea</em>, followed by <em>S. axillaris, B. sapida</em> and <em>M. edulis,</em> whereas β-carotene was found to be highest in <em>M. edulis</em>. Results reinforce the promotion of these underutilized wild edible fruits, especially, <em>S. axillaris</em> and <em>M. edulis</em> as natural sources of phytochemicals, minerals and antioxidant compounds for food and pharmaceutical industries.</p> <p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
