Antioxidant and Mineral Content of Pitaya Peel Extract obtained using Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE)

Antioxidant and Mineral Content of Pitaya Peel Extract obtained using Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE)

Background: Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) was used to extract active compounds in pitaya peels by using water as a solvent. Pitaya peels can be seen as a potential form of fruit waste, especially in the food industry because its solution extraction can be applied as natural coloring and contai...

Pitaya peels can be seen as a potential form of fruit waste, especially in the food industry because its solution extraction can be applied as natural coloring and contained beneficial active compounds that have commercialize value.
