Saffron spices are composed of dehydrated stigmas Crocus sativus L. A large amount bio-residues (stamens, tepals, and stigmas) is generated during the production this spice (~92 g per 100 flowers). These usually discarded losing chance to obtain interesting bioactive compounds from them. In work, we use saffron as possible source natural compounds. Different extraction conditions were applied o...
