The characterization revealed that decoction extraction increased solubility, variety and yield of phytochemical and antioxidant compounds recovered from de-kernelled Marula seeds. The highest concentrations of phytochemicals were obtained using the decoction method. Therefore, this study may pave the way for extract composition and future utilization of de-kernelled Marula seeds in food industries. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
