Green extraction and phenolic profiling of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) using UHPLC-DAD analysis: unveiling its antidiabetic and anticancer potential (opens in new tab)

BackgroundThis study reports for the first time the green extraction and analysis of four phenolics: gallic acid (GA), scopoletin (SC), rosmarinic acid (RA), and resveratrol (RV) in different parts (skin, pulp, seeds) of the fresh and dried fruits of bitter melon (BM). The fruits and their parts were evaluated for comparative anticancer and antidiabetic potential.MethodologyUltrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was used for green extraction, using solvents including ethanol (EtOH), acetone (AC...
