Comparison on efficiency of bioactive compound extraction from saffron via ultrasonic-assisted extraction and maceration methods

Applied Food Research
This study compares the efficiency of bioactive compound extraction from saffron using ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) and maceration methods. The impact of ultrasound frequencies (20-25, 37 and 80 kHz) and various solvents (water, 50 %, 70 %, and ...

Molecular, Metabolic, and Physiological Responses to Progressive Biotic Stress Caused by Cucumber Mosaic Virus and Turnip Mosaic Virus in Saffron

Horticulturae
The economic value of the saffron stigma is primarily due to three crucial apocarotenoids: crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal, which contribute to its color, flavor, and aroma. These compounds make saffron highly valuable in various industries.
