Abstract

The culinary arts across continents have provided a whole range of variant practices that now concentrate to contain the essential components of the nutriment used. Among the disparate healthy cooking practices, boiling is considered as a quick and effortless way for both preserving and extracting the water soluble vitamins. In this study, an attempt was carried out to correlate the extent of phytochemical release and antioxidant activity in raw and cooked food items. Common vegetables that form any part of appetizer, entrée or main course of food were targeted for this swot. Extracts obtained after 20 min of cooking showed increased phytochemical contents with corresponding free radical scavenging activity. Based on the targeted food samples an ideal cooking duration for each is recommended in accordance to their scavenging property.
