The effects of different solvent extraction and pH on the stability of carotenoids and chlorophyll in Cucumis melo L. for potential coating technology
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential use of natural colorant extracted from fruit flesh and leaves of Cucumis melo L. (C. melo L.) in coating applications. Design/methodology/approach: Carotenoids and chlorophylls compounds were extracted from C. melo L. fruit flesh and C....
