Edible flower petals are beneficial for humans due to their high antioxidants content. Yet, the consumption of them is still limited. Therefore, incorporating flowers to familiar food products like cereal bars can be the solution. Nevertheless, baking at high temperatures might degrade the antioxidant of the flowers. This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant properties and capac…
Avocado seed is more useful than just being a byproduct of avocado processing since it contains a lot of phenolic compounds. However, the phenolic compounds are rather prone to be damaged by environmental stress and by applying encapsulation techniques, they can be protected from the environmental stress. Thus, this study focuses on researching the effect of the presence of core and the core be…
Avocado seed (AS), a by-product of avocado, contains a high level of polyphenols which contributes to total antioxidant capacities (TAC) of avocado. However, polyphenols need to be encapsulated due to their sensitivity towards environmental stress. This study only observed the effect of the presence of core, the emulsification, coacervation, and freeze-drying steps of complex coacervation, and …
The most important sources of biomolecules that can be screened from plant components are thought to be plant extracts. These biomolecules may be extracted from medicinal plants using a variety of solvents and extraction techniques. Due to their simplicity, effectiveness, and broad application, solvent extractions are the most widely used processes to create extracts from plant materials. Binah…
Since coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) was first found in China on 12 December 2019, finding potential treatments for this virus have always been pushed by many countries. The polyphenolic compound contained in Foeniculum vulgare seeds extract has been found to have antioxidant activity and is linked to the protection of diseases. Thus, the aim of this project is to perform extraction of Foeni…
