This study explores how agro-industrial by-products—like stems and leaves—can be transformed into something useful. By extracting polyphenols, especially hesperidin (HE), researchers are finding new ways to apply these natural compounds in active food packaging.

Using subcritical water extraction (SWE) and optimizing purification through macroporous resin adsorption, the process becomes both efficient and sustainable—opening the door to greener packaging solutions. Here the link to our paper
