The effect of heat treatment on total phenolic content, antioxidant
and antibacterial activities of the curry paste was investigated and results showed that the total phenolic content
of the curry paste extract increased after heating at 800C, 900C and 1000C for 10, 20 and 30 min. The 2.2-
diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl activity (DPPH) and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) values of the heated
curry paste extract were higher compared with unheated paste extract.
