| description | Antioxidants are phytochemicals, vitamins and other nutrients that protect our
cells from damage caused by free radicals. In-vitro and In-vivo studies have
shown that antioxidants help to prevent the free radical damage that is
associated with cancer and heart diseases. This project seeks to mechanize
the various methods of extracting antioxidants from mangosteen, the fruit
known to contain the most number of naturally occurring antioxidants.
During the initial stage of the project, various methodology were investigated
to find out which method yields the highest amount of antioxidants from the
pericarps of mangosteen.
Next, the highest yielding method was then broken up into several general
steps to facilitate the mechanization of the method. For each general step, a
minimum of 3 solutions to carry out the step was proposed. Then, the
proposed solutions to carry out each step were then evaluated according to
certain criteria and the best solution to each step was chosen. Following
which, the solutions were then assembled and the final conceptual design
was finalized.
After the finalization of the final conceptual design, the materials and parts
were then assembled to form final fabricated product. |
