Characterization and the process optimization encapsulated Morinda Citrifolia L. extract

Natural antioxidants are phytochemicals that neutralize free radicals, a damaging atom that trigger cells oxidation and destroys it. Morinda citnfolia L., or known as Mengkudu is proven to possess substantial quantity of antioxidant compound. Known to be sensitive to light, temperature, and oxygen,...
