Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been widely studied for its insecticidal properties. The primary bioactive molecule in garlic extracts include allicin, alliin, S-allylcysteine, diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, diallyl sulfide and ajoene. However, these compounds degrade under environmental conditions once extracted. This study aimed to enhance the effectiveness of garlic extracts in controlling Tenebrio mo...
Polyphenols called procyanidins can be extracted from agro-industrial waste like litchi peel and coffee pulp. However, their efficacy is limited due to instability, which hinders both the bioavailability and preservation of their activity. This study aims to establish the ideal encapsulation conditions required to preserve the procyanidin properties found in extracts taken from litchi peel and coffee pulp. To a...
