Cold extraction of minimally processed Stevia UEM‐13 leaves: Amylase inhibition and increased bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds by microencapsulation
Abstract:Sweeteners and other bioactives present in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana have shown functional and nutritional benefits in several pathologies. The number of consumers of teas and plant extracts has grown significantly, but little is known about cold extraction, especially of Stevia. Thus, the objectives of this study were to perform a semi-continuous cold percolation extraction of minimally processed Stevia UEM-13 leaves and to microencapsulate this extract with maltodextrin by Spray Dryer, in order to eval… Show more
