Nutritional composition, total phenolic content (TPC, mg GAE/g) and antioxidant activity (AOA %) of fenugreek and Moringa oleifera seed flour.
| Parameter | Fenugreek Seed Flour | M. oleifera Seed Flour |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture (%) | 5.3 ± 0.34 | 2.45 ± 0.04 |
| Protein (%) | 30.7 ± 0.13 | 33.37 ± 0.05 |
| Oil (%) | 4.4 ± 0.26 | 42.56 ± 0.11 |
| Ash (%) | 3.4 ± 0.15 | 4.33 ± 0.04 |
| Crude fiber (%) | 7.70 ± 0.22 | 4.50 ± 0.2 |
| Total carbohydrates (%) | 56.2 ± 0.75 | 17.29 ± 0.5 |
| TPC (mg GAE/g) | 47.4 ± 0.22 | 140.12 ± 0.1 |
| Antioxidant activity (%) | 19.1 ± 0.66 | 31.3 ± 0.22 |
Values are mean ± SD of three independent replicates. GAE: gallic acid equivalent. Total carbohydrates (TC) = 100 − (moisture + protein + fat + ash).
