An Optimised Aqueous Extract of Phenolic Compounds from Bitter Melon with High Antioxidant Capacity
Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is a tropical fruit claimed to have medicinal properties associated with its content of phenolic compounds (TPC). The aim of the study was to compare water with several organic solvents (acetone, butanol, methanol and 80% ethanol) for its efficiency at extracting the TPC from freeze-dried bitter melon powder. The TPC of the extracts was measured using the F...
متن کاملOptimising the Encapsulation of an Aqueous Bitter Melon Extract by Spray-Drying
Our aim was to optimise the encapsulation of an aqueous bitter melon extract by spray-drying with maltodextrin (MD) and gum Arabic (GA). The response surface methodology models accurately predicted the process yield and retentions of bioactive concentrations and activity (R² > 0.87). The optimal formulation was predicted and validated as 35% (w/w) stock solution (MD:GA, 1:1) and a ratio of 1.5:...
متن کاملMinerals, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity of citrus peel extract by hot water.
Some dried citrus peels, more familiar as chenpi in China, have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicines from ancient times.

Peels of 2 ...
متن کاملAnti-diabetic Effects of Ethanol Extract from Bitter Melon in Mice Fed a High-fat Diet
Present study aimed to determine the effect of 'bitter melon', a popularly used fruit in Bangladesh and several other Asian countries, on high-fat-diet-induced type 2 diabetes. To investigate the effect, ethanol extract from bitter melon (BME) as a dietary supplement with mouse chow was used. BME was found to significantly attenuate the high-fat diet (HFD) -induced body weight and total fat mas...
متن کاملPhenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity of Brazilian Apples
Apple consumption is related to the prevention of chronic diseases due to the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids that have antioxidant capacity. However, phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity can vary between varieties. The aim of this study was to analyze the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AC) of thirty-six apple varieties to establish a classification of the...
