They also contain omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids (healthy) as well as the sufficient amount of polyphenols and antioxidants, like caffeic acids, myricetin and others. Current study consists of comparing the Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of Chai and basil seeds with the help of various assays. Confirmatory tests to verify the presence of phytolectins in both chia and basil seeds have been done by performing hemagglutination tests. These phytolectins are the proteins that binds to the oilgosaccharides and monosaccharides in the reversible manner. Although further studies are required for isolating and characterizing the phytolectins from the seeds.
