Heat and microwave reflux extraction, optimization, and physicochemical characterization of oleoresins from Malaysian pepper (piper nigrum)

Emerging evidence has revealed the undeniable ability of functional plants for the treatment of many degenerative free radical-related diseases in ethnomedicine. Black and white peppers (Piper nigrum) are examples of such plants with both nutritional and medicinal properties. The free radical scaven...
