Microwave Assisted Extraction of Bioactive Carbohydrates from Different Morphological Parts of Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.)

Microwave Assisted Extraction of Bioactive Carbohydrates from Different Morphological Parts of Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.)

Despite the nutritional properties of alfalfa, its production is mainly for animal feed and it is undervalued as a food source. In this study, the valorization of alfalfa as a potential source of bioactive carbohydrates [inositols, α-galactooligosaccharides (α-GOS)] is presented. A Box–Behnken exper...
