Herbal extract decolourization device using activated carbon

Herbal extracts are known for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the intense colour caused by their phenolic content and dark-coloured compounds may spoil the final product’s appearance. To remedy that, this study was undertaken to design a decolourization d...
