Seeds and rinds were
ground using a grinder (SHARP Blender &
Mill EM-11, Japan) until a fine particle size
of 1 mm was achieved. The seed powder was
spread evenly throughout the drying tray
and oven dried at 60 °C for 4 hours. The
processed seed powder and ground rinds
were vacuum packed and kept in a air tight
container and stored in a cool and dry
cabinet.
