Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine how different drying processes affected the phytochemical components and antioxidant activity of dried jackfruit seed powder. The jackfruit seed contained good proportion of phyto-chemicals such as flaovonoids, alkaloids and possessed better antioxidant properties. The jackfruit seed extract were prepared for determining phyto-chemical and antioxidant activity. From the research it was observed that the tray dried jackfruit seed powder contain higer amount of total flavonoids and polyphenols as compare to sun dried jackfruit seed powder. The antioxidant activity of jackfruit seed powder revealed that the tray drying was found signifacantly superior over sun drying. From the research it was concluded that the dried jackfruit seed powder prapred by tray drying contained good proportion of phyto-chemicals and better antioxidant properties than jackfruit seed powder prepared by sun drying method.
