OPTIMIZING AND COMPARING ULTRASOUND- AND MICROWAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION METHODS APPLIED TO THE EXTRACTION OF ANTIOXIDANT CAPSINOIDS IN PEPPERS

Optimizing and Comparing Ultrasound- and Microwave-Assisted Extraction Methods Applied to the Extraction of Antioxidant Capsinoids in Peppers

Capsinoids are very similar antioxidant compounds to capsaicinoids, but less irritating, non-pungent and more palatable, and can thus be used in greater concentrations for food applications.To date, three capsinoids (capsiate, dihydrocapsiate, and nordihydrocapsiate) have been isolated from the pepper fruits.Due to its substantial commercial import
