Continuous and pulsed ultrasound pectin extraction from navel orange peels

Thermomechanical process intensification for oil extraction from orange peels

Optimization of microwave assisted extraction of pectin from orange peel.

In this study, microwave-assisted extraction was applied for pectin extraction from the dried orange peel and Box-Behnken response surface design was used to study and optimize the effects of processing variables (microwave power, irradiation time, pH and solid-liquid ratio) on the yield of pectin. The amount of pectin extracted increased with increasing microwave power, while it reduces as the...

Extraction of pectin from pomelo (Citrus maxima) peels with the assistance of microwave and tartaric acid

Pectin is a component of the plant cell and can be found in the primary cell wall and the middle lamella of plant tissues. Currently, pectin is a very important raw material, especially in the food and the pharmaceutical industries. There are several ways to extract pectin from different materials and solvents. One way to synthesize pectin is from the extraction of pomelo peel and this research...

Pectin from muskmelon (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus) peels: extraction optimization and physicochemical properties

Pectin derived from plant waste sources is currently focused as an economical and eco-friendly approach. Optimization of pectin extraction from muskmelon peel by response surface methodology (RSM) was investigated in this study. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to identify the optimal level of the extraction variables such as time, pH and temperature. A second-order model equation for pectin e...

Application of Ionic Liquids in the Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Pectin from Lemon Peels

Microwave-assisted extraction of pectin from lemon peels by using ionic liquid as alternative solvent was investigated. The extracted pectin was detected by Fourier transform infrared spectra. The extraction conditions were optimized through the different experiments in conjunction with the response surface methodology. A pectin yield of 24.68 % was obtained under the optimal parameters: the ex...
