Optimizing processing methods for maximum bioactive retention: comparative metabolomic analysis of dried loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) flowers and their powdered extracts
Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) flowers are a rich source of bioactive flavonoids, but their nutraceutical potential depends on post-harvest processing. This study evaluated the impact of heat-drying (HD) and freeze-drying (FD) on flavonoid retention in loquat flowers and their hot-water powdered extra...
