Application of saffron over the years has been limited to the foodindustry<\/a>, textile<\/a> and\u00a0pharmacological<\/a> purposes. After removing the stigmas<\/a>, the saffron flower<\/a> is usually considered waste. Studies indicated the potential of saffron waste in\u00a0cosmetic<\/a>, fragrance<\/a> and\u00a0flavoring<\/a> markets<\/a>. As saffron petal<\/a>\u00a0is cheaper and produced in large amounts compared to saffron stigma, it can be considered an appropriate source for different purposes.\u00a0Here are listed some.
\n1) Natural<\/a> Flavor<\/a>: Argento et al. (2010) investigated the composition of the hydro-alcoholic extract of saffrondried<\/a> flowers<\/a>. They identified 17 different flavonoids. As an example, significant overlapping in saffron flowers GC profile with commercial cocoa<\/a> powder aroma and\u00a0Honeylike<\/a>\u00a0flavor were observed.<\/p>\n

2) Natural<\/a> Color<\/a>: \u00a0Mortazavi et al. (2012) investigated the use of saffron petals in the coloring of wool fibers. They found that varied<\/a> hues<\/a> from light yellow to light brown were obtained from saffron petals and suggested that saffron petals can be a good natural colorant for dyeing.\u00a0Natural edible colorant is not only\u00a0environmental<\/a> friendly<\/a> but is also believed to have\u00a0anticancer<\/a> and\u00a0antiviral<\/a> effects as well as other\u00a0healthbenefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3) Green<\/a> Adsorbent<\/a>: To enhance the profitability<\/a> and\u00a0sustainability<\/a> of crop waste, a facile green method was introduced to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using saffron leaf extract as a stabilizing agent for\u00a0wastewater<\/a> treatment<\/a>\u00a0applications. More detailed information can be found in the reports of Rahaiee et al., 2020.
\nSaffron petals are considered agricultural<\/a> wastes<\/a>. Processing and using the huge amount of petals that are thrown away can open a new window for the saffron<\/a> market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is your experience of using saffron petals? Did you ever consider it a golden waste \ud83d\ude09 or just away waste!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
