Abstract

The Study was focused on the effectiveness of thermal treatment such as steaming and roasting to total phenolic, total flavonoid content; antioxidant activity on artichoke. Results showed that it may be desirable to use steaming rather than roasting to minimize the loss of total polyphenol, total flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity.
