Improvement of the stabilities and antioxidant activities of polyphenols from the leaves of Chinese star anise (<scp><i>Illicium verum</i></scp> Hook. f.) using <i>β</i>‐cyclodextrin‐based metal–organic frameworks

Abstract

Microencapsulation with β-CD-MOFs could expand the application scope of ALPs, and it is more effective than encapsulation with β-CD. This is important for a better understanding and application of this useful traditional Chinese plant. As a new material with high efficiency and edibility, β-CD-MOFs are not limited to the chemical field, but also have potential in new areas of food, medicine and healthcare products. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
