  In vitro antioxidant activity optimization of nut shell (Carya illinoinensis) by extrusion using response surface methods 

  Villasante Dueñas, Juliana; Pérez Carrillo, Esther; Heredia Olea, Erick; Meton Teijeiro, Isidoro; Almajano Pablos, María Pilar (2019-12-16)
  Article
  Open Access

  The pecan (Carya illinoinensis) nut shell is an important byproduct of the food processing industry that has not been previously explored as an antioxidant compound. This work aims to study the effect of the extrusion ...
