Isolation of a Novel Bioactive Fraction from Saffron (<i>Crocus sativus</i> L.) Leaf Waste: Optimized Extraction and Evaluation of Its Promising Antiproliferative and Chemoprotective Effects as a Plant-Based Antitumor Agent

Saffron spice is obtained from the flower’s stigmas through a labor-intensive process. However, other organs (particularly the leaves and tepals) are often regarded as waste. To investigate the health benefits of saffron leaf by-products, an optimized methodology was developed to obtain a phenol-enr...
