Processing intervention to improve nutritional properties of such agricultural seeds is an age old practice. In the current study, sprouted fenugreek seeds have been analyzed for their potential use as a home based approach for the management of oxidative stress related disorders.&#13;
Methodology: Germinated seeds were dried at 60__ampersandsigndeg;C, powdered and stored at 4__ampersandsigndeg;C. The samples extract (10 mg/mL) in distilled water were then analyzed for Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and antioxidant activity by DPPH and FRAP. The results obtained for seven days were compared for significant differences using one-way ANOVA.&#13;
Results: The process of sprouting showed significant changes in the antioxidant properties of fenugreek seeds with the maximum activity observed on 7th day of sprouting. An increase ranging from 40% to 45% in TPC and antioxidant activity was observed on the seventh day of germination. A correlation analysis among the TPC and antioxidant activity (DPPH and FRAP) was also performed that confirmed a high value of R2 (0.965, 0.956) between the two.&#13;
Conclusions: Fenugreek seeds at seventh day of sprouting have the prospect to be used as nutraceutical for the management of oxidative stress related disorders.&#13;
