Article Synopsis
- This study explores the extraction and nano-encapsulation of propolis from Qaluiobia, focusing on methods using water, ethanol, and supercritical fluid-carbon dioxide at 50°C to enhance bioavailability and shelf life of food products.
- Results show that extracts from ethanol and SCF-CO yield greater antioxidant activities and higher concentrations of flavonoids, with nano-capsules proving stable at high temperatures and showing cytotoxic effects against human cancer cell lines.
- The fortified crackers with these nano-capsules achieved high acceptability rates (around 86%) and demonstrated the ability to maintain antioxidant activity, prolonging shelf life by preventing rancidity.
