This study investigated the effects of cooking treatments (boiling and steaming) and season of the year (spring and fall) on vitamin C content, total phenolics content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), antioxidant activity and scavenging of nitric oxide (NO•), and superoxide radical (O₂–). After cooking, a significant decrease in vitamin C was observed (50 and 48.8% for boiling and 21 and 27.9% for steaming in spring and fall, respectively). TPC and TFC increased during steaming from 145–1480 mg GAE/kg and 348.6–797.2 mg QE/kg, respectively. DPPH values ranged from 2806–3801 μmol TE/kg and was affected by season whereas ORAC ranged from 1231.3–36,167.2 μmol TE/kg and was affected by cooking. The ability to scavenge NO• and O₂–, were not affected by neither cooking nor season. However, the inhibition of O₂– was higher for quintonil steamed in spring.
