Fruit ripeness in relation to storability for medicinal product development and seed viability of Phaleria macrocarpa / Suaad Mohamed Ahmed Asrity

Phaleria macrocarpa, or also known as Mahkota Dewa, is popular medicinal plant in Indonesia and has recently been introduced in Malaysia in view of its commercial potential as health supplements. Many studies have focused on the active compounds in fruit, which is primarily used in medicinal product...
