Flavonoids are widely recognized for their beneficial effects in the cosmetic industry, possessing many biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The study presented an efficient and simple solution to improve the preparations of antioxidant complexes based on hesperidin. Obtained products are characterized by thermogravimetric, spectrophotometric method, electron scanning microscopy, color analysis and zeta potential. Lightness value (L*) of hesperidin-silica complexes was found to be inversely correlated with the antioxidant activity values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
