Abstract
Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)
from Malvaceae family is an annual
crop with potential for use by many
industries including food, animal feed,
neutraceutical, cosmeticeutical and
pharmaceutical industries. Its origin is not fully known but it is believed to be from West Africa, although the plant is found native from
India to Southeast Asia. The calyxes,
stems and leaves are acid in flavour.
The juice is produced from the calyces, and it is claimed to be a prohealth drink due to its high contents
of ascorbic acid, anthocyanins and
other antioxidants.
