Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Malika Chbani"
Malika Chbani's recent research focuses on the analysis of volatile aroma-active compounds and phenolic compounds in cactus seed oil from various regions in Morocco, utilizing advanced techniques like dynamic headspace-GC/MS and HPLC-ESI-qToF-MS.
The studies revealed 18 volatile compounds in cactus seed oil, with hexanal and acetaldehyde among the most abundant, highlighting geographic variations and the impact of processing on aroma profiles.
Additionally, seven phenolic compounds were characterized, with vanillin and syringaldehyde being prominent, indicating that roasting significantly affects both the aroma and chemical composition of cactus seed oil.
