Artificial neural network in optimization of bioactive compound extraction: recent trends and performance comparison with response surface methodology.

Plant products and its by-products are rich source of bioactive compounds like antioxidants, flavonoids, phenolics, pigments and phytochemicals. Bioactive compound's health-promoting properties are well studied. However, optimal extraction of bioactive compounds is a complex, labour- and time-intensive process.

Effect of household processing on nutritional and antinutritional composition, mineral-mineral ratios, and functional properties of leaves.

leaves are high in nutrients and other phytochemicals but their utilization remains limited due to a lack of awareness. Higher content of anti-nutritional factors like oxalic and tannic acid in a leaves limit nutrient availability. In the present study, the effect of four household procedures viz.

Major Phytochemicals: Recent Advances in Health Benefits and Extraction Method.

Recent scientific studies have established a relationship between the consumption of phytochemicals such as carotenoids, polyphenols, isoprenoids, phytosterols, saponins, dietary fibers, polysaccharides, etc., with health benefits such as prevention of diabetes, obesity, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc. This has led to the popularization of phytochemicals.

Effect of Rose Syrup and Marigold Powder on the Physicochemical, Phytochemical, Sensorial and Storage Properties of Nutricereals and Milk-Based Functional Beverage.

ABSTACT: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of rose sirup and marigold powder on the physicochemical properties, bioactive potential, sensory acceptability and storage life of the nutricereals (finger millet, oats) and milk-based functional beverage (FB).: Preliminary trials were performed using different levels of rose sirup (8-14%) and marigold powder (0.40-0.

Potential of Colocasia leaves in human nutrition: Review on nutritional and phytochemical properties.

Colocasia esculenta leaves possess vital nutritive and nonnutritive components in significant amounts, but are underutilized, and lesser explored. The chemical composition varies significantly depending upon climatic conditions and other agronomical factors of the location of cultivation and variety. Micronutrients, viz.
