Effects of drying methods on the antioxidant activities on Benincasa Hispida seed extracts
The present study investigated the changes in total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity of B.hispida seeds after three drying treatment (sun drying, oven drying and freeze drying) compared to fresh samples by DPPH radical scavenging method and total phenolic content. Ethanol is used as t...
