Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Articles are well written. Can be accepted after minor revision
Abstract need some modification. Rewrite the abstract in scientific manners.
Discussion part should me more elaborated and should be according to results.
Author Response
Abstract has been rewritten in a scientific manner and discussion has been improved.
Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript “Proanthocyanidins QTOF-ESI MS characterization, Antioxidant activity and Delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction augmented by Hybrid Nanoparticles of Uncaria tomentosa leaves from Costa Rica” by Araya-Sibaja et al. describes the characterization of Proanthocyanidins of Uncaria tomentosa leaves and their antioxidant performance once loaded into lipid and proteic nanoparticles. The work is very well designed and described. Results are clearly reported. I only suggest to
- correct all errors in table 2 and 3: i.e. 11.80 ± 3.27 should be written as 12±3 or 26.10 ± 0.82should be written as 26.1±0.8, etc
- Correct also the value in Table 2 : 111.80 should be 11.80
- Line 52: add the term activities
- line 296: are instead of and
- Please reformulate sentences: line 275-276 and 303-304
- In IR discussion use the term band instead of peak
Author Response
All the suggestions have been attended to accordingly.
