Characteristics and antioxidant activities of seed oil from okra (<i>Abelmoschus esculentus</i> L.).

It can be seen that there are extremely significant correlations between the scavenging activities (hydroxyl radicals and ABTS radicals and reducing power) of vegetable oils and their contents of total phenols, total tocopherols, and γ‐tocopherols. 4 CONCLUSION This study has shown that okra seed oil is rich in beneficial components (including unsaturated fatty acids, phenols, tocopherols, and mineral elements) and presents strong antioxidant activities, laying a foundation for the development of okra seed oil as an edible oil.
