Antioxidant potential of microencapsulated bioactive extracts from durian fruit’s pulp, seed, and peel as food additives (opens in new tab)

BackgroundDurian pulp consumption is growing rapidly worldwide, but so is the waste it generates: seeds and peels. This study investigates the Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and antioxidant activity of extracts and microencapsulated extracts from the main components of the durian fruit: seed (Dse), pulp (Dpu), and peel (Dpe).MethodsThe TPC was evaluated by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS methods. The phenolic compounds profile...
