Enhancement of Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Properties in <i>Codonopsis pilosula</i> Through Extrusion Processing and Development of Codonopsis-Oat Powder.

ABSTRACT: Codonopsis pilosula, a valuable traditional herb, is rich in bioactive compounds like polysaccharides and phenolics. However, conventional processing methods may limit its functional properties and application in modern food industries. Extrusion processing, as an efficient and versatile technology, offers a promising approach to enhancing the bioactivity and utilization of botanical materials. In this study, Codonopsis pilosula was enhanced through extrusion processing. The results demonstrated that extrusion under the optimal conditions (screw speed of 250 rpm, moisture content of 20%, and barrel temperature of 131 °C) significantly enhanced the properties of Codonopsis pilosula. Specifically, the polysaccharide content increased from 244.41 to 271.00 mg/g, and the w
