1. Introduction
Codonopsis javanica, in the Campanulaceae family, is also called
names as ‘‘Dang sam” in Vietnamese and ‘‘Dangshen” in Chinese
[1], which is a valuable medicinal plant and be cultivated in Asian
countries such as Laos, India, China and Myanmar [2]. In Vietnam,
it mainly grows on the grassy hill slopes, highland and mountain-
ous areas [3,4] at altitudes above 800 m from sea level [5]. The fruit
and root of Codonopsis javanica could use edible, and the leaves can
be used to make soup, fried food, etc [5]. Due to containing various
biological compounds, Codonopsis javanica has many medicinal
properties. The previous studies on the root of this plant indicated
that it contained components such as polysaccharides, poly-
acetylenes, phenolic glycosides, alkaloids, triterpenoids, etc [6–9].
With Codonopsis javanica and its bioactive constituents were
shown to have pharmacological effects, for example, antioxidant
[10], antifatigue [11], antimicrobial, antitumor and improving for
cell immunity [12]. In addition, Chen et al. (2013) found that
extracts of C. javanica root could attenuate fructose-induced hyper-
insulinemia and associated oxidative stress [13].
In Vietnam, the previous researches mainly investigated aspects
such as the extraction, bioactive compounds, pharmacological
functions while the products from Codonopsis javanica extract have
been limited. For example, Tri Nhut Pham et al. (2021) evaluated
the effectiveness and quality of products of the process of extract-
ing Codonopsis javanica extract at pilot scale. The results showed
that at extraction conditions of 60 °C and 2 h, the obtained extract
reached total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content, the scav-
enging activity by DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS
(2,2

-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) values of
3.782 mgGAE/gDW, 3.733 mgQE/gDW, 1.987 mgAAE/gDW and
4.344 mgAAE/gDW, correspondingly [14]. Nguyen Phu Thuong
Nhan et al. (2020) applied Condonopsis javanica L.root extract
to create instant tea by using the spray drying method. The
author indicated that the optimum drying conditions were the

concentration of maltodextrin as 30% (w/w), the drying tempera-
ture of 140 °C and the feed rate as 300 ml/h. At these conditions,
the drying yield, the total saponin content and the ABTS scavenging
activity of the product were 78.35%, 0.29% (w/w), 59.48 mgAA/g,
respectively [15]. In this study, the method used is convection dry-
ing technology. The advantage of this drying method compared to
spray drying is the low drying temperature will limit the decompo-
sition of biological compounds. The powder retains the original
color of the extract and is not changed after the drying process.
Powder is easier to dissolve in water than spray drying products.
The device is relatively simple, easy to implement. The disadvan-
tage of convection drying method is the long drying time. Product
particle size is larger than spray drying. Besides, the higher carrier
concentration will make it difficult to prepare the initial solution
and spread the solution on the mold.
Because of the pharmacological properties of Codonopsis javan-
ica, it is not only used for the food but also is widely used for the
medicine. This study was carried out to find a suitable formulation
for instant tea product from Codonopsis javanica root extract via
convection drying technology. The final products are determined
physiochemical including moisture content, total phenolic content,
solubility and sensory evaluation.
2. Experimental section
2.1. Materials
The raw materials are the tuberous root of the C. javanica col-
lected during the winter season at the age of 2 years in Kontum
province, Vietnam. The roots were cut into smaller pieces and
dried in the convection oven at 70 °C for 8 h until the moisture con-
tent achieve was 8.17%. Then grinding down by using a crushing
machine and sifted through an eye sieve grid (h= 0.5 mm) to obtain
a sample of uniform size. The dried powder was added into ethanol
solvent 60% (w/v) with of ratio 0.025 g/ml and extracted at temper-
ature 60 °C for time 60 min. The obtained extract was concentrated
into using a rotary evaporator to afford moisture content as 50.7%.
After several times, extract was obtained and preserved in a dark
glass bottle.
Chemicals: Maltodextrin with a DE value of 12 (China) and dis-
tilled water were used in the study is single-distilled water.
2.2. Production of instant tea by using convection drying
First, the carrier (maltodextrin) is dissolved with distilled water
at the appropriate concentration and kept at 25 °C in 8 h. The above
solution is mixed with the extract. The above solution is mixed
with the extract at suitable ratio. Then, the mixture spread out into
an aluminum tray (29 32 cm) which is enveloped with baking
paper and the thickness of the layer is about 1 mm. Afterward,
the tray is into a convection oven which has been set up at a con-
sistent temperature and time. After 15 h, the product was sepa-
rated from the mold and ground up into a fine powder. Finally,
the powder is packed in specialized plastic bags, removed from
the air, and stored at room temperature.
2.3. Determination of moisture content
Moisture is an important factor in food quality, preservation,
and resistance to deterioration. The moisture content of the pro-
duct was determined using a halogen rapid moisture analyzer
(MB90, Ohaus, USA). The samples were dried at a temperature
105 °C of the device until constant weight was achieved [16].
2.4. Determination of total phenolic content
The total polyphenol content was conducted according to the
method of Zivic et al. (2019) with some changes. First, the sample
was diluted to the appropriate concentration. Then, 0.5 ml of the
diluted sample solution was sucked into a test tube, mixed with
2.5 ml Folin-Ciocalteu (10% v/v) reagent and homogenized by using
a Vortex apparatus. After 5 min, 2 ml of Na
2
CO
3
(7.5% w/v) solution
was added to the solution. This mixture was shaken before being
incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 h. Afterward,
the absorbance of the mixture was read at 765 nm by a UV–Vis
spectrophotometer. Gallic acid was used as a reference standard
material in this method. The total phenolic content was deter-
mined as milligrams of gallic acid equivalent per gram of dry
weight (mg GAE/g DW of the sample).
2.5. Determination of solubility (WSI)
The water solubility index (WSI) and the water absorption
index (WAI) of powder was determined using the method
described by Maruf Ahmed et al. (2010) with some modifications.
2.5 g powder was dissolved in 30 ml of distilled water for 1 min
and incubated in a water bath at 30 °C for 30 min, afterward cen-
trifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min. After centrifugation, the super-
natant was placed in a Petri dish and dried at 105 °C until the
weight remained constant. Solubility is calculated using the fol-
lowing formula 1 [17]:
WAI %ðÞ¼
dry sediment weight
dry sample weight 100 ð1Þ
2.6. Sensory evaluation
The research of consumer preferences was educated by 30 peo-
ple on a scale of 0 to 5 (5 like very much, 4 like moderately,
3like slightly, 2 neither like nor dislike, 1 dislike moderately
and 0 dislike very much).
The final product was evaluated by TCVN 3215–79, including a
sensory appraise of 30 people. The product was appraised on the
criteria of color, aroma, taste and state. The scale from 0 to 5 with
0 = very low, poor and 5 = very high, good is used to determine the
level of disability of each sensory indicator.
The average score of a sensory indicator is the average of the
evaluation results for that criterion by a committee. The important
factor shows the importance of each sensory criterion. The
weighted scores are defined that the average score of each param-
eter multiply important factor. The last sensory score is the total
weighted score of all the sensory indicators.
2.7. Statistical analysis
Microsoft Excel 2010 was used to calculate the mean and stan-
dard deviation (SD) values. The design for all experiments was a
Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The Statgraphics Centurion
XV software (Statgraphics Technologies, Inc., USA) was used for
one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) and the least significant dif-
ference (LSD) in the statistical analysis with p-values less than
0.05.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Effect of carrier material concentrations
Table 1 describes the appearance and moisture content of the
powder product at different carrier concentrations. Fig. 1 shows

the effect of carrier concentration to polyphenol content stored in
the product. At the different concentrations, the obtained powder
has a uniform size and low moisture content (<5%). The results of
ANOVA analysis showed a significant effect of carrier concentra-
tion on polyphenol content (p < 0.05). Furthermore, LSD multiple
range test pointed out that meaning differences in polyphenol con-
tent at the concentration as 40% and 50% (w/w) compared to the
rest concentrations are 30%, 60% (w/w). The polyphenol content
reached the highest value (0.620 mgGAE/g DW) at concentration
of 60% (w/w). In general, when increasing the concentration of car-
rier, the content of polyphenol in the product has increased. This
can be explained by the action of the surfactant carbohydrate
molecules in the carrier which can create binding with bioactive
compounds at the core of products such as polyphenol [18]. How-
ever, when using the concentration of 60%, the initial solution has a
high viscosity leads to hampering water evaporation which leads
to drying time longer. In addition, the results of sensory evaluation
(Fig. 2) showed that when using maltodextrin concentration of
40%, the powder attained the highest sensory score of 4.1/5 points.
Therefore, a carrier concentration of 40% is used for instant tea
drying.
3.2. Effect of concentration of Codonopsis javannica root extract
Table 2 present the observable, and moisture content of the
instant tea products. Fig. 3 showed these different concentrations
of C. javanica extract related to polyphenol content. In general,
with a high concentration of extract, the moisture content
increases and shape up a smooth texture in the product. The signif-
icant effect of concentration extract on polyphenol content was
significantly different (p < 0.05). Testing of even more LSD ranges
indicate that polyphenol content at the concentration of 5% is dif-
ferent from remaining concentrations (p < 0.05). The concentration
of extract increased from 5% to 20%, polyphenol content increased
from 0.521 to 0.628 (mgGAE/g DW). Nevertheless, increasing the
concentration to 15% and 20%, the content of stored polyphenol
in the product increased insignificantly toward the concentration
of 10%. This can be explained by the number of bonds that the car-
rier forms during convection drying which is suitable for keeping a
large number of polyphenol in the product [19]. Besides, according
to the sensory evaluation results (Fig. 4), the concentration of
extract 10% is achieved the highest sensory score (4.6 of total 5).
Therefore, the extract concentration of 10% was selected for the
next experiments.
3.3. Effect of drying time
Table 3 describes the appearance and the moisture content of
the products at different drying time. Fig. 5 showed the effect of
drying time on polyphenol content. The data in Table 3 presented

that the powder dried at a different time has less than 5% moisture
content. The obtained powder was a light yellow appearance with
relatively uniform in sharp. The results showed that when the dry-
ing time increases, polyphenols content in the product decreased.
ANOVA analysis results showed a significant effect of drying time
on polyphenol content in powder with 95% confidence (p < 0.05).
The highest polyphenol content at the drying time of 15 h was
1.569 mgGAE/g DW. Besides, LSD multiple range test indicated that
the drying time of 15 h did not differ significantly from 20 h
(p < 0.05). Therefore, in terms of economic efficiency, 15 h drying
time is the best choice. The longer drying time could cause the fall
the decrease in polyphenol content. This can be explained by the
longer the drying time, the greater the degree of decomposition
of polyphenol compounds in products, the polyphenol content of
the product will be reduced [20]. Furthermore, the results of sen-
sory evaluation (Fig. 6) showed that products dried at 15 h reached

the highest sensory score (3.4). For these reasons, 15 h was the
suitable time for drying.
3.4. Effect of drying temperature
The image of instant tea products and moisture content with
different drying temperature is presented in Table 4. At the differ-
ent drying temperature, the obtained powder has a uniform size
and low moisture content (<5%). The effect of drying temperature
on polyphenol content is displayed in Fig. 7. When drying temper-
ature increased from 60 to 70 , resulted in the decrease of
polyphenol content. One-way ANOVA showed that drying temper-
ature exerted significant effects (p < 0.05) on polyphenol content.
LSD multiple range test the drying temperature of 70 °C was differ-
ent from 60 °C and 80 °C. The highest polyphenol content at 70 °C
was reached 0.693 mgGAE/g DW. Besides, at 80 °C, these values
decreased. Explaining this situation, Jader Alean et al. (2016) indi-
cated that the kinetics of polyphenol decomposition process
increased rapidly when the drying temperature exceeded 60 °C
[21]. Besides, according to the results of sensory evaluation
(Fig. 8), the 70 drying temperature was the highest sensory score
(3.3). Therefore, 70 is the right drying temperature for instant
tea.
3.5. The properties of instant tea product
3.5.1. The physical-chemical properties of instant tea product
The physical-chemical properties of instant tea products were
presented in Table 5. The results indicated that the powder had
high solubility (97.120%), which could dissolve in hot water

rapidly. The moisture content of 2.463% is lower than the maxi-
mum requirement of 6% according to TCVN 9739:2013. The final
product contained total phenolic content of 0.537 mg GAE/g DW.
This value is relatively similar to previous studies by Nguyen Phuoc
Minh (2020) [22], in which the author presented the total phenol
content achieved about 0.519 mg GAE/g in Roselle powder (Hibis-
cus sabdariffa) at optimal drying conditions.
3.5.2. The result of sensory evaluation of instant tea product
Table 6 shows the sensory score of instant tea products from
Condonopsis javanica root extract. The product is light yellow in
color, fine and uniform structure. The particle size is small; there-
fore; it becomes more soluble in water. The smell and taste are
good and characteristic of extract. At optimum drying conditions,
the total weighted score of the final product was 15.32 (max 20).
Following by TCVN 3215-79, the product is in good.
3.6. Evaluation of product properties according to Vietnam standards
(TCVN)
Heavy metals content and microbiological quality of the pro-
duct were tested at New Century Corp with criteria according to
TCVN (Table 7). According to the Table 7, arsenic was not detected
in the sample, while lead and cadmium were detected but the
results were all below the acceptance limit. Total aerobic microor-
ganisms and total yeast spores, molds were not detected. Besides,
the microorganisms, such as Coliforms, E. coli, S. aureus and Sal-
monella were also not detected in the powder. Furthermore, the
total ash of 0.29% was lower than the maximum limit of 8% and
ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid was not detected.
4. Conclusion
In this study, the parameters are suitable for the production of
instant tea from Codonopsis javanica root extract at laboratory scale
as follows: carrier as maltodextrin with the concentration of car-
rier materials at 30% (w/w), concentration of Codonopsis javanica
root extract 10% (w/w), drying time at 15 h, drying temperature at
70 °C. The product obtained was light yellow, not clumped, dis-
jointed, had a characteristic smell of Codonopsis javanica, a low
moisture value is 2.46%, solubility reached 97.12%, polyphenol con-
tent of product is 0.537 mgGAE/g dry matter. These results showed
that the many benefits of using instant tea products from Codonopsis
javanica extract and the potential for commercialization of the pro-
duct, contributing to improving the use value as well as the applica-
bility of Codonopsis javanica in the food and beverage industry.

A R T I C L E I N F O Keywords: Citrus latifolia peel essential oil Spray-drying Microencapsulation yield Microencapsulation efficiency Control release A B S T R A C T The present study aimed to encapsulate Citrus latifolia peel essential oil (LEO) by using spray-drying technique. The effects of operation parameters including maltodextrin concentration (200-350 mg/g mixture), LEO concentration (10-25 mg/g mixture), homogenization time (10-25 min), inlet temperature (120-180 • C), and feed flow rates (120-300 ml/h) on the encapsulation indexes, physiochemical properties and antibacterial activities of LEO microcapsules were investigated. With maltodextrin concentration of 300 mg/g, LEO concentration of 15 mg/g, homogenization time of 20 min, inlet temperature of 140 • C, feed flow rates of 120 ml/h, the microen-capsulation yield (MEY), microencapsulation efficiency (MEE), surface oil (SO) were 89.59%, 92.60%, 7.40%, respectively. Additionally, the LEO microcapsules had an average diameter from 0.75 to 3.50 μm, with spherical structures and trapped-LEO in the core capsules. TGA and DSC analysis displayed a good thermal stability in the structure of microcapsules. Noticeably, the antibacterial activity of LEO increased after encapsulation. Furthermore, results from drug kinetic study have shown that the Peppas model was the primary mechanism governing the release of LEO in the food medias. The chemical compositions of LEO before and after encapsu-lation remained well preserved. The utilization of maltodextrin as a potential wall material has shown a clear improvement regarding active substances' properties.

Introduction. Codonopsis javanica L. root is a gingsen-like medicinal material with valuable bioactive compounds and alkaloids in its composition. However, the diversification of commercial products from Codonopsis javanica root extract is limited and poorly represented on the market. This study presents a new production process of an instant tea product from Codonopsis javanica root extract, which involved spray drying with maltodextrin as a drying additive. Study objects and methods. The research featured different process parameters including a drying additive concentration, a drying temperature, and a feed flow rate. Moisture content and drying yield were selected as the main outcomes. Results and discussion. In general, the improved drying yield was associated with an increased drying additive concentration, a lower drying temperature, and a higher feed flow rate. The best drying yield (78.35%) was obtained at the drying additive concentration of 30% (w/w), the drying temperature of 140°C, and the feed flow rate of 300 mL/h. The total saponin content in the product was 0.29% (w/w), and the ABTS free radical scavenging ability reached 59.48 μgAA/g. The obtained powder was spherical and exhibited fairly uniform particle morphology with shriveled and concave outer surface. Conclusion. The research results justified the use of Codonopsis javanica as an ingredient in beverage industry and suggested maltodextrin as an appropriate substrate for spray-drying natural extracts.

The Codonopsis javanica, also known as “Đảng sâm” in Vietnamese, is a medicinal plant of high economic value. In this study, we further extended the previously reported process to produce C. javanica root extract by examining the concentrating stage to produce dried extract. Afterwards, effects of storage conditions on were evaluated and the pilot scale extraction process was compared with the lab-scale process. These processes were investigated with respect to different extract quality parameters including total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity. Best conditions for the concentration process included time of 120 minutes, temperature of 60°C. The efficiency of extracting C. javanica extract at pilot scale shows a difference of about 20% and this dried extract will retain the best quality when stored at 5°.

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) was a member of Malvaceae family. Its calyxes had bright red color due to presence of anthocyanin with an excellent antioxidant property. Raw roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) calyx was highly perishable due to its high moisture content. In order to diversify products from this plant, this research evaluated the possibility of spray drying for roselle extract into dried powder for long-term consumption. We focused on the effect of sugar alcohols (mannitol, sorbitol, isomalt, xylitol, erythritol) at 8%, carrier agents (maltodextrin, gum arabic, glutinous starch, whey protein concentrate, carboxymethyl cellulose) at 12%, operating parameters of spray dryer (inlet/outlet air temperature, feed rate) on physicochemical quality (bulk density, solubility, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, anthocyanin content) of rosselle powder. Results showed that the optimal spray drying variables for rosselle powder should be 8% isomalt, 12% whey protein concentrate, inlet/ outlet air temperature 140/85oC/oC, feed rate 12 ml/min. Based on these optimal conditions, the highest physicochemical attributes of the dried roselle calyx powder would be obtained.

Introduction: Inulins are a group of natural active polysaccharides found in ginseng and dangshen and mainly used in pharmaceutical preparations and functional food. The purification condition of inulin from dangshen grown in Vietnam did not occur in previous studies. Hence, the study presented on the content, purification degree, molecular weight, and functional group characteristics of inulin extracted from natural dangshen roots (Codonopsis javanica) in other purification conditions. Methods: Some factors survey impact purification conditions of inulin, for example, the kinds and the concentration of the solvent, the temperature and the times of the precipitation, and the active coal impact. The objects such as the content of inulin, fructan, and crude polysaccharide, purification degree of inulin, and fructan were analyzed. Molecular weight and functional group characteristics of purification inulin extracted from dangshen roots (Codonopsis javanica) grown in highland Lam Vien, Vietnam, were also analyzed. Results: The purification degree of inulin purified by using ethanol was higher than that using active coal, corresponding to 97.85a ± 0.84 % and 94.05 %, respectively. Inulin content was the large ratio in crude polysaccharide, exhibited via FTIR and the analysis results. Inulin and fructan were the most precipitated in ethanol, for example, 80 % and 90 % ethanol, respectively, compared to another solvent. The kinds and the concentration of the solvent, the temperature and the precipitation times, and active coal impacted the content and the purification degree of inulin and fructan (p < 0.05). The precipitation of inulin and fructan in ethanol solvent was affected by the temperature. The molecular weight of inulin and fructan corresponded to 3,193 Da and 1,112,892 Da, respectively. Conclusion: Inulin of natural dangshen roots in Lam Vien highland, Vietnam was useful for functional foods and pharmaceutics.

The root of a ginseng-like plant named Codonopsis javanica is a valuable ingredient in folk medicine with diverse biological properties and has been used in treatments for various diseases, including leukemia, inflammation, and hepatitis. This study aimed to optimize various parameters related to the extraction process of C. javanica root (CJR) with respect to total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activities of the obtained CJR extract. We first performed a series of single-factor investigations taking drying conditions and different extraction parameters such as material size, extraction solvent, solvent concentration, extraction temperature, material/solvent ratio, extraction cycle, and stirring speed as varying factors. Then, a response surface methodology procedure was adopted with a central composite design to optimize further the extraction process in order to maximize the TPC. We found that the use of convection drying at 70 °C for 8 hours gave the extract with the highest TPC and antioxidant activities. Optimal extraction parameters were found as follows: ethanol with a concentration of 56.0% as the solvent, material-to-solvent ratio of 1/38.0 g/mL, extraction time of 67.2 minutes, material size ≤0.5 mm, temperature 60 °C, through 1 extraction cycle, and with a stirring speed of 300 rpm. Under the optimized conditions, the experimental value for TPC was 2.9 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g dry weight (DW), which is reasonably close to the value predicted by the model (2.8 mg GAE/g DW). The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid free radical tests of the CJR extract obtained under optimal conditions were 1042.3 and 299.0 µg/mL, respectively.

Codonopsis genus is comprised of species that are perennial plants primarily distributed across all east, southeast and Central Asia. The most famous species of Codonopsis are C. tangshen, C. lanceolate, and C. pilosula. The records showed that they have a long story usage as traditional Chinese medicines, as they well alleged for intensification of the spleen and the lung, together with blood enrichment and liquid engendered. Certain species have a culinary value in southern China and Southeast Asia, where they are considered as tea, wine, soup, plaster, and porridge. Codonopsis species were shown to be of great importance in medicine, due to their broad biological activity. Therefore, a clear understanding of their genetic diversity is needed. Adequate distinction and description of those species are necessary to preserve plant reservoir, investigations of genes associated with desirable traits, and understanding of evolutionary relationships. Subsequently, various molecular marker techniques such as Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), and Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR), Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP), internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and Sequence-Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR) have been improved to provide detail information about genomes, that historically were not possible based on only phenotypic methods. This review represents the usage of DNA molecular markers for molecular diversity analysis of medically important species belonging to the genus Codonopsis.

In this study, the crude polysaccharides of C. javanica (CJP) was obtained from Codonopsis javanica (Blume) Hook. f. et Thomson using hot water extraction method, which was separated and purified by DEAE-cellulose column and Sepharose CL-6B column. The structure of the purified component was preliminary characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). By examining the degree of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice and carbon particle clearance index, the immunomodulatory activity was clarified. The results showed that the extraction rate of CJP was 24.9 ± 0.5%. After purification, the refined polysaccharides component (CJP-2) was obtained. The structural characterization results indicated that CJP-2 was mainly composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose, and its molecular weight was 790 Da. Immunomodulation results showed that the low and medium levels of CJP significantly enhanced the degree of DTH in mice (P < 0.05). CJP can improve the clearance index of mice and enhance their charcoal removal function. The study indicates that C. javanica is a good source of polysaccharides, and CJP may be a new type of immunomodulator.

The effect of cocoa drying process on polyphenols was studied. The least degradation of polyphenols during the process of drying was accomplished at a temperature of 40 °C, with a concentration of polyphenols was of 3329.76 mg Ac. Gallic/100 g dried fruit, which corresponds to a reduction of 45%; while the higher degradation of polyphenols was presented at a temperature of 60 °C. It was concluded that the degradation depends of temperature, moisture and dry times. These are factors which affect the irreversible oxidative processes of polyphenols and can also be affected by cellular destruction. This experimental analysis was completed with the development of a phenomenological model, which simulates the behavior of water desorption and the degradation of polyphenols.
