Here expect proximate value fibre impart functional properties to the food which has therapeutic value. T₄ has highest phytic acid, flavonoids and tannin had highest amount moisture, fibre, carbohydrate and energy content while T₄ has highest total phenol and DPPH scavenging activity with respect to antioxidant.
