Abstract

âº Entada scandens and Canavalia gladiata seeds have high antioxidant potential. âº The proper conservation of seeds will reduce the dependence on conventional crops. âº Processing methods would not affect antioxidant activity of E. scandens. âº Dry heat enhance the antioxidant activity in C. gladiata. âº These processing methods will be recommended to prepare functional foods in the future.
