Methods

In this study, authors evaluated the phytochemical and antioxidant properties of peanuts before and after roasting.

Key Findings

Key Findings: Results showed that roasted peanuts had significantly more antioxidant capabilities than raw peanuts, up to 22%. This was due in a large part to the presence of p-coumaric acid, a prominent antioxidant in peanuts.
