In vitro bioactive properties of the tamarind (Tamarindus indica) leaf extracts and its application for preservation at room temperature of an indigenous roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa)-based drink

“Foléré” is an indigenous roselle-based drink produced in the Northern part of Cameroon for commercial purposes; however, its poor hygienic quality and short shelf-life are over time harmful for consumers' health and producers’ incomes. In the context of increasing concern on the safety of chem...
