Effect of boiling and roasting on the physicochemical properties of Djansang seeds ().

This study was aimed at determining the effect of boiling and roasting on physicochemical properties of Djansang seeds. Dried Djansang seeds were divided into three groups: one group was boiled for 5, 10, and 15 min; another group was traditionally roasted for 5, 10, and 15 min, and the last group was left unprocessed and served as the control. Polyphenols were extracted from the processed seeds using the maceration method, and their content and antioxidant activity were evaluated.
