Popis: AbstractAnchote, a high antioxidant with great functional potential, is a multipurpose edible part and an underutilized endemic tuber in Ethiopia. Studies were carried out to determine the impact of pretreatment on phytochemical contents, antioxidant activity, and functional properties of tubers and seeds of anchote in order to explore their potential uses. The pretreatment methods adopted were boiling and sun drying for tubers and boiling, soaking, germination, and roasting for seeds of anchote. All the analyses were conducted using official standard methods and graded chemical reagents. Boiling significantly (P
