  • The study investigates the use of cocoa pod husk (CPH) as a potential source for creating microencapsulated powders rich in saponins, targeting health benefits like malaria and diabetes treatment.
  • The microencapsulated powders exhibited positive physicochemical properties, such as low moisture content and high water solubility, along with significant levels of phytochemicals like saponins and flavonoids.
  • The antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibition activities of the microencapsulated CPH powders suggest they could help manage blood sugar levels, indicating their potential in functional food development.
