Phytochemical analysis of Cymbopogon citratus revealed presence of bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenols, terpenoids etc. Each of the bioactive compounds were estimated and isolated separately by solventsolvent extraction for methanolic and aqueous extracts of Cymbopogon citratus. Saponins content was higher in methanolic extracts of Cymbopogon citratus (...

The use of bioactive compounds in different commercial sectors such as pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries signifies the need of the most appropriate and standard method to extract these active components from plant materials. Along with conventional methods, numerous new methods have been established but till now no single method is regarded as standard for extracting bioactive compou...

Electrospinning is a simple and versatile encapsulation technology. Since electrospinning does not involve severe conditions of temperature or pressure or the use of harsh chemicals, it has great potential for effectively entrapping and delivering bioactive compounds. Recently, electrospinning has been used in the food industry to encapsulate bioactive compounds into different biopolymers (carb...
