Abstract:The extract flower of Etlingera elatior (kecombrang) is one of herb interested for research. This flower known to have a beneficial antioxidant activity. This antioxidant effect was obtained as a results of high flavonoid content. Photosensitivity and low bioavailability and their fast metabolism were the main limitations for its use, which can be overcome through encapsulation of the extract (flavonoids) into nanoparticle-based chitosan-tripolyphosphate by ionic gelation method. This is an observational study… Show more
