Key Findings
- The study from Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology focused on extracting bioactive compounds from mandarin peels using various techniques
- Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was found to be the most efficient method, yielding the highest amounts of beneficial compounds like quercetin, gallic acid, hesperidin, and ferulic acid
- These compounds have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are crucial in preventing cancer and other chronic diseases
