A NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE ISOLATION OF POLYPHENOLS ENRICHED WITH PROCYANIDINES FROM CINNAMON/CASSIA SPECIES

摘要

A novel process for the selective extraction, from various cinnamomum species, of bioactive, bioavailable, antioxidant polyphenols enriched with procyanidin Type A and Type B oligomers, with more than 90% purity and recovery, by eliminating the toxic coumains, cinnamaldehyde etc to not more than 300 ppm levels, using non toxic solvents.
