11 Jul 2014 --- A team of researchers of the Universitat Politècnica de València have made a new persimmon milkshake with high antioxidant potential. Persimmons are an important source of antioxidant compounds due to their content of carotenoids and tannins. According to the tests developed in the laboratories, one of these shakes could contain the same quantity of carotenoids as a whole persimmon.
